This bibliographic study aimed to review researches on physical activity performed by Brazilian workers, through electronic databases such as Medline, Lilacs, and Scielo. The following terms were used in Portuguese/English: atividade física/physical activity, atividade motora/motor activity, exercício físico/physical exercise combined with the term trabalhador/worker; in the period of 2000 and 2010. First, 303 studies were found. The selection process involved the reading of titles, abstracts, and texts. After that, 27 studies matched the review inclusion criteria. There is a great methodological variability in national studies. Nevertheless, there is no homogeneity in delineament, demanding longitudinal studies in this area.
Keywords: Motor Activity. Workers. Brazil.
