Objectives:
to map actions to promote physical activity and health for children and adolescents in light of the Health Promoting School model.
Methods:
a documentary study, mapping the proposed actions in 18 documents from the World Health Organization, the Brazilian Ministry of Health and systematic reviews on the subject. Researchers performed the convergence and summary of actions using Health Promoting School model as well as analysis of clarity and semantics of recommended actions.
Results:
after analyzing the 360 actions initially verified, 36 were mapped, covering governance standards (20 actions in four standards) and school context structuring (16 actions in four other standards) to be an Health Promoting School.
Conclusions:
this mapping is a tool to support the planning and implementation of studies and educational intervention programs that aim to develop health promotion in Brazilian schools in in light of Health Promoting School guidelines.
