Atividade Física Como Um Direito Humano?

A conscientização pública sobre a importância da atividade física aumentou devido aos muitos bloqueios impostas durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Isso trouxe uma atenção mais ampla para uma questão anteriormente confinado principalmente a partes da comunidade de promoção da atividade física: Os humanos têm um direito de ser ativo? Embora os benefícios da atividade física para a saúde pública sejam indiscutíveis, até agora não surgiu um entendimento claro sobre se a atividade física representa um direito humano. Apesar de o direito à atividade física não é explicitamente reconhecido nos tratados internacionais de direitos humanos, parece possível extraí-lo de direitos humanos bem estabelecidos, como o direito à saúde, o direito ao descanso e lazer, o direito à educação e o princípio da não discriminação. Este artigo mostra como o direito de atividade física pode ser derivada de tratados internacionais de direitos humanos, como os atributos de tais um direito poderia ser definido, e quais obrigações estatais estariam associadas a ele. Visto que a atual discurso de direitos humanos neste campo concentra-se principalmente nas interconexões entre esporte e direitos, gostaríamos de argumentar que há valor agregado em um debate sobre a atividade física como um direito.
