Resumo
The International Manifesto for the Promotion of Physical Activity in the Post-COVID-19 Era: Urgency of a Call to Action (hereafter referred to as the “Manifesto”) was developed by the Center for Studies of the Laboratory of São Caetano do Sul (CELAFISCS), a Brazil-based institution with extensive experience in promoting public health programs focused on physical activity. This paper presents the key scientific foundations that led to the creation and publication of the Manifesto’s 12 calls to action, along with the emerging evidence supporting the relevance of this initiative in the post-COVID-19 period. Persistent challenges and future perspectives for promoting physical activity at a population level will also be discussed, with reference to the 2030 goals proposed by the World Health Organization.
