Abstract
This systematic review aims to examine perceived barriers and facilitators to physical activity during childhood by analyzing studies conducted with children or adults (parents, educators, health care providers, or other adults directly involved in childcare). From a total of 567 documents, 21 articles were selected for analysis. According to these studies, the main barriers are related to restrictive curricular policies on physical activity, social stigmas towards disability and obesity, gender stereotypes, family characteristics, perceived insecurity in residence area and poor collaboration between family members and schools, sport clubs and social bodies. In turn, policies aimed at promoting physical activity, work-life balance, family support, facilities in the local area, perceived safety, accessibility of green space and easy access to the natural environment, among others factors, appear as facilitators.
