| Summary: | Introduction: The lack of physical activity, together with inadequate food
consumption, has been one of the most present topics in research on mortality and
chronic non-communicable diseases. Therefore, knowing the level of physical
activity in schoolchildren is of great importance, since actions could be deployed
to reduce the alarming levels of sedentary life, especially from the subject of Physical
Education. Objective: To systematically examine the level of self-reported physical
activity in schoolchildren not exempt from participation in Physical Education
sessions. Method: A systematic review of cross-sectional studies that determined
the level of self-reported PAQ-C questionnaire. Results: Twenty-three articles were
identified by searching five different databases between 2014 and 2019. For the
selection of the articles, it was necessary to consider the type of study and location,
the age phase analyzed, as well as the non-participation in the Physical Education
sessions. Conclusion: Most of the studies analyzed indicate insufficient levels of
physical activity; however, it is necessary to carry out more research related to the
level of self-reported physical activity, enabling to diagnose with greater precision
the reality of school-age children.
