Abstract

The interest of the researchers in investigating the amount of physical activity best suited to provide health benefits is not recent, but the type and amount (duration and intensity) of physical activity more adequate to protect health problems still needs to be better studied. The purpose of this point of view is to suggest the type and quantity (duration and intensity) of physical activity most adequate for the prevention of cardiometabolic disorders in adults. The evidences that will be presented are part of publications about the type and quantity (duration and intensity) of physical activity necessary or sufficient for the prevention of cardiometabolic disorders produced by a group of Brazilian researchers, as well as longitudinal publications on the dose-response effect of the physical activity for mortality prevention found in the international literature.
