RESUMO

In Brazil, the implementation of the Family Health Strategy constitutes in an institutional arrangement to implement the Primary Health Care as a framework of the Brazilian Unified Health System. It has a compromise to reorganize health care practices with a view to promote change in the model of health care to the population. In this process, the Ministry of Health, among other initiatives, establishes the National Policy for Health Promotion and defines as one of its priorities, the encouragement of actions of body practices/physical activities. Recently it was also created, the Support Center for Family Health, with the intention of expanding the coverage and scope of activities and services in the Primary Health Care, including physical education teachers as one of the professionals which should work together with a team of interdisciplinary health. Recently, it was observed numerous programs and initiatives involving the presence of physical education professionals in Primary Health Care, and therefore, this research was developed in order to elaborate and analyze the skills that may be required for the physical education professional in the context of Primary Health Care. The subjects are physical education professionals who work in programs for the promotion of body practices/physical activities, linked to the primary health care of the Brazilian Unified Health System, and also researchers whose areas of study are physical education and the Unified Health System. The Delphi technique was used for data collection, with organization and processing of data through content analysis. As a result, 58 competencies were elaborated, which were organized and analyzed in three dimensions, namely: knowledge, skills and attitudes, with relevant features to the field of the Primary Health Care, particularly by highlighting the following attributes: comprehensiveness of health care, considering the inseparability of actions, which are promotional, preventive, treatment and rehabilitation; continuity of care with inter-sectoral articulation in order to the comprehensiveness of health services and the like; humanization for the establishment of bonds, mainly by listening; teamwork for interdisciplinary actuation and health promotion, also directed towards the emancipation of the subject. This set of competencies does not disregard the accumulated knowledge and evidencebased practices of physical education, but make us understand that the work in the Primary Health Care is permeated of complexities and peculiarities that are not usually familiar, which may \"cut the ground\" of the physical education professional, and at the same time, may constitute in a site where will be created opportunities to promote, from the accumulated efforts, the production of new knowledge, skills and attitudes.
