INFLUENCE OF BRAZIL'S PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROMOTION IN URBAN AREAS

Abstract

The research aims to determine the influence of Brazil's public health policies on promoting physical activity in urban areas. An overview of the impact of Brazilian public health initiatives on encouraging physical exercise in metropolitan areas is given in the study. Brazil has put in place a wide range of regulations to combat non-communicable disease and promote healthy living. The cornerstone of the approach is the National Health Promotion Policy, which highlights the incorporation of physical exercise into everyday activities. Research used smart PLS software to measure the research and generated informative results, including descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, and smart PLS Algorithm model. The goal of infrastructure development, urban planning, and educational initiatives is to provide settings that support active living. Campaigns for health promotion and community involvement support these initiatives by raising awareness and encouraging behavioral change. These policies will only be successful if they are implemented well, are continuously assessed, and are flexible. Overall result found the positive and significant influence of Brazil's public health policies on physical activity promotion in the urban areas. Brazil's dedication to encouraging physical exercise indicates the global recognition of the significance of preventative health measures. Sustained endeavors towards this end might foster a more robust and engaged urban populace in Brazil.
