Results: The results highlight the ability of these professionals to provide preventive and therapeutic interventions based on physical exercise, as well as their potential to promote a holistic approach to health. Additionally, the integration of physical education professionals into the health system requires a clear regulatory framework, effective coordination among the involved actors, and continuous evaluation of the impact of their interventions on public health.
