Abstract

This document makes reference to the professional internship of Physical Activity and Health Master degree at Sports College of Porto University. This report intends to present the internship year of a physical exercise professional (the author) who joined a Physical Activity Pilot Project team in the National Health Service. The internship took place at Barão de Nova Sintra Family Health Unit, Bonfim, with the support of Doctor Luís Viana Jorge. This report describes the pilot project and, above all, the experiences and adaptation of a physical exercise professional in a health unit. In addition to the general description of the internship, a descriptive reflection about the intervention and the data collected is presented. Finally, it also presents a balance of the current year of internship and the skills acquired for the future, as well as a reflection of the master's degree. The goal of this document is to transmit to other professionals of this area an experience in a health unit, in order to encourage the appreciation of a relationship between activity and physical exercise with health, demonstrating that both are related and that the role of the professional physical exercise can also be fundamental in a health unit.
