Abstract

Current article analyzes the relationship between the guidelines of the Brazilian Policy for Health Promotion (PNPS) and the need for an interdisciplinary approach in the formation of health professionals to warrant the implantation of the policy. A systematic review was undertaken on several legal sources, articles and references to Health Promotion. All public policy is an intervention on social conditions to assure citizens´ rights. The need to prepare the exercise of a new role in the population by transforming health attention activities and the processes of the system´s administration is underscored. The interdisciplinary approach in the formation of Physical Education may enhance its qualified participation in the processes of Education for Health and Life Quality in the promotion and management of inter-sectorial activities which are the basis of all public policy for total health.
