We understand that the physical activities can reduce the damages of treatment through a movement education in health program. The patients in treatment do not take exercise physical activities; however, the movement is a human being need since birth. We believe that physical education makes difference for congestive heart failure patient motivation. The aim of this study was to know congestive heart failure patient profile in treatment at the Federal University of Goias Clinical Hospital, to indicate the relationship among physical activities with other modalities of behavior: food/alimentation, smoke, alcohols, age, sex, weight, mortality rate and family history. The methodological option was the descriptive study and data was collect from patient notes of 100 positive cases of congestive heart failure, inserted on Elite II group of the drug test program of the Medical Clinic.
