Resumo
Analisar a relação entre indicadores de pesquisa, monitoramento e políticas de atividade física (AF) e a prevalência de AF em países sul-americanos. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo ecológico com base em informações de AF de uma amostra representativa da população adulta, por meio de pesquisas nacionais, de todos os países da América do Sul. Em cada país, os dados sobre AF total e de lazer foram avaliados usando questionários específicos da pesquisa, e foram fornecidas informações sobre indicadores de pesquisa, monitoramento e políticas para promover a AF. A correlação de Spearman foi realizada para a análise. Resultados: A frequência de políticas destinadas apenas à promoção da AF (rho = 0,67, p = 0,025) e a frequência de políticas descontinuadas (rho = -0,65, p = 0,028) foram correlacionadas com a prevalência de AF de lazer. Não foi observada relação para a prevalência de AF total. Conclusão: Políticas públicas direcionadas e sustentadas parecem estar relacionadas com a AF de lazer em países sul-americanos.
