Abstract Physical Education is one of the categories featured in the SUS workforce. An ecological time series study, based on the National Registry of Health Establishments, was conducted to analyze the inclusion of Physical Education Professionals (PEFs) and residents in the SUS between 2009 and 2021. The scope of the article was to establish a panorama of the inclusion of Physical Education and analyze the distribution of PEFs and residents in the different regions. An increase of 476.01% in the number of PEFs and 10,366.67% among residents was revealed. The PEF rate per 100,000 inhabitants increased by 13.7% per year from 2009 to 2021, with an increase of 28.1% between 2009 and 2014 and 7.8% between 2014 and 2019, and a decrease of 3.4% between 2019 and 2021. The resident rate increased by 36.2% per year between 2009 and 2021, with a 45.9% increase between 2009 and 2017 and 18.7% between 2017 and 2021. Regional inequalities in the distribution of PEFs and residents were revealed, with the highest concentration, in 2021, in the Northeast and South regions, respectively. The increase in PEFs and residents in the SUS can be linked to policies and programs of physical exercise and activities, while the decrease is possibly related to the Previne Brasil Program and the COVID-19 pandemic. workforce study Establishments (PEFs 200 2021 regions 47601 476 01 476.01 1036667 10 366 67 10,366.67 revealed 100000 100 000 100,00 137 13 7 13.7 281 28 1 28.1 201 78 8 7.8 34 3 4 3.4 362 36 2 36.2 459 45 9 45.9 187 18 18.7 concentration respectively activities COVID19 COVID 19 COVID-1 pandemic 20 202 4760 47 0 476.0 103666 6 10,366.6 10000 00 100,0 13. 28. 7. 3. 36. 45. 18.

Resumo Dentre as categorias que fazem parte da força de trabalho do SUS está a Educação Física. Por meio de estudo ecológico de séries temporais, com base no Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde, os objetivos do artigo foram analisar a inserção de Profissionais de Educação Física (PEF) e residentes no SUS entre 2009 e 2021 com vistas a traçar um panorama da inserção da Educação Física e analisar a distribuição de PEF e residentes entre as diferentes regiões. Foi revelado um aumento de 476,01% no número de PEF e de 10.366,67% entre os residentes. A taxa de PEF por 100.000 habitantes aumentou 13,7% ao ano entre 2009 e 2021, com aumento de 28,1% entre 2009 e 2014 e de 7,8% entre 2014 e 2019, e redução de 3,4% entre 2019 e 2021. A taxa de residentes aumentou 36,2% ao ano entre 2009 a 2021, com aumento de 45,9% entre 2009 e 2017 e de 18,7% entre 2017 e 2021. Foram reveladas desigualdades regionais na distribuição de PEF e residentes, com maior concentração, em 2021, respectivamente nas regiões Nordeste e Sul. O aumento de PEF e residentes no SUS pode ser relacionado com políticas e programas de práticas corporais e atividades físicas, enquanto o decréscimo, possivelmente, se relaciona com o Programa Previne Brasil e à pandemia de COVID-19. temporais Saúde (PEF 200 202 47601 476 01 476,01 1036667 10 366 67 10.366,67 100000 100 000 100.00 137 13 7 13,7 281 28 1 28,1 201 78 8 7,8 34 3 4 3,4 362 36 2 36,2 459 45 9 45,9 187 18 18,7 concentração Sul físicas decréscimo possivelmente COVID19.
