“…Insufficient physical activity is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, contributing significantly to the strong incidence and severity of a vast number of chronic non-communicable diseases in the population (34) . National and international surveys show that insufficient physical activity has been high in the young population of several countries, making PC and its performance in the school an important strategy to promote this health behavior in children and adolescents (35)(36)(37) . Bodily practices/physical activities by adolescents bring numerous benefits, contributing to the improvement of sleep, strength, mood, social interaction, making it possible to experience, reflect and reconstruct senses and meanings about body, corporeality, gender and leadership in their relationship with the world (38) .…”

Objectives: to compare health promotion actions carried out by Family Health teams in Ceará, linked to the School Health Program. Methods: a cross-sectional study involving the first and second cycles of an external assessment of 910 and 1,626 teams from 184 municipalities, which joined the Brazilian National Program for Improvement of Access and Quality of Primary Care. Eight clinical assessment and seven health promotion indicators were assessed, together with health professionals working in schools. Results: the interviewees were nurses (95.6% and 98.3%). Between the cycles, there was an increase in clinical assessment (78.7% and 91.3%), health promotion and disease prevention (82.5% and 89.3%) and survey of students for follow-up (41.4% and 66.4%) in schools. Conclusions: health actions at school advanced between cycles, with nurses as protagonists in school health, which can reduce vulnerabilities in children and adolescents and qualify Primary Care.

“…This maybe partially explained by boys being more socially stimulated to perform sports, especially during outside school hours. In addition, other social factors such as freedom and parental support for physical activity (for example, transporting to the training place and providing encouragement for sports participation) may be afforded more to boys than girls 34 . Also, the influence of parents can be indirect, through social learning of some behaviors; given that the environment in which the young person lives and parental examples may influence their habits 13,35 .…”

Our aim was to identify prenatal, biological and environmental correlates of child to adolescence physical activity maintenance in 1,186 Brazilian youth (525 boys) aged between 10 and 16 years. Current and former physical activity levels were obtained cross-sectionally through questionnaires. As potential correlates, parent’s activity levels, socioeconomic status and offspring’s birth weight were self-reported by parents. Somatic maturation was estimated by the peak of height velocity. Logistic regression analyses revealed that, regardless of chronological age, males were more likely to be active in childhood (OR = 1.73 [CI 95% = 1.33 to 2.27]) and to maintain physical activity (adjusted by chronological age, sex, birth weight and mother’s physical activity) (OR = 3.58 [CI 95% = 2.32 to 5.54]), as well as late maturing adolescents (OR = 2.52 [CI 95% = 1.02 to 6.22]). Adolescents whose mother was inactive (OR = 0.31 [CI 95% = 0.11 to 0.86]) also had a lower probability of maintaining physical activity. Thus, girls, adolescents born with low weight and those with inactive mother are less likely to maintain physical activity levels from childhood to adolescence.

“…Unfortunately, the acquired knowledge and skills in the field of health-preserving can't guarantee the health protection activity of the individual. It is necessary to form a system of values and motivations for self-preserving behavior [6]. We imply under motivation to protecting and promoting health "a system of internal motivational forces that contribute to the systematic use of healthy life-style requirements by students" [33].…”

“…The behavioral factor: the lack of active rest culture. Many researchers note a predominant decrease in motion activity in adolescence, especially among girls [6,7]. This problem is typical for most countries with developed economies [8][9][10][11].…”

The aim was to analyze the problems of the forming of future teachers' competence in the upbringing of schoolchildren's culture of healthy lifestyles (HLS). The main problems are the ambiguity and incorrect competencies' formulations in Russian Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education (FSES of HE); the lack of a number of special competencies in Bachelor educational programs; formation of health-preserving competence of the Bachelor of Education does not assume the adherence to the norms of HLS, possession of means of methodically correct usage of methods of promoting; lack of monitoring of students' health; insufficient formation of a system of students' values and motivations for self-preserving behavior. To solve these problems, it is important to form a system of values and motivations for HLS, to develop methods for the formation of motivation for health preservation, to monitor the students' health, to edit the competencies' formulations in FSES of HE. Keywords-health, Health-preserving competence, healthy lifestyle, health cultureI.
