Os benefícios da prática regular de atividades físicas para a saúde, tanto na prevenção como no auxílio ao tratamento de diversas doenças, estão confirmados por inúmeras publicações científicas. No entanto, o sedentarismo ou a inatividade física na população ainda é muito prevalente. Com a pandemia devido à doença do novo coronavírus (COVID-19) e a necessidade de isolamento social e o fechamento dos locais de prática de atividades físicas, aumentaram as dificuldades para a sua realização. Será que os médicos realizam atividades físicas? Existem poucos estudos sobre este tema. Nosso trabalho foi realizado na Santa Casa de São Paulo, e analisamos se os médicos brasileiros praticam atividades físicas regularmente e se houve algum impacto com a pandemia. Procuramos também analisar se os médicos orientam e prescrevem atividades físicas aos pacientes. Por meio de um questionário distribuído de forma digital, obtivemos 1.215 respostas de médicos de todos os estados brasileiros, que evidenciaram a pouca atividade física praticada pelos médicos brasileiros, com 84% de sedentarismo e que piorou ainda mais com a pandemia. A presença de obesidade, diabetes e hipertensão arterial foram detectadas na nossa amostragem. Contraditoriamente, a maioria dos médicos responderam que costumam orientar os pacientes sobre a importância da prática regular de atividades físicas. Como fatores que podem explicar a alta taxa de sedentarismo, a falta de tempo e de hábito foram os principais fatores, além da falta da capacitação durante a faculdade. A maioria dos médicos brasileiros são sedentários.
