ResumoThe aim of this article is to analyze discourses produced by health institutions regarding physical activity in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (March and early April) in Brazil. A documentary study was carried out using websites of health institutions. The process were theoretical-methodological support inspired in Foucault's studies based on the intertwining notion of discourse and its impact on the conduct of the government. A total of 17 documents were compiled, three from government institutions, nine from medical societies and five from physical education institutions. The first documents addressed the personal and equipment hygiene concerning closed places, the following communications were about restricting physical activities in these places, finally recommending the performance of these activities at home. Therefore, physical activity predominated in its biological perspective, especially affecting immune function. The problematization of the discourses was carried out based on the governmentality notion in which individuals and families were triggered to practice physical activities at home without instrumentalization, access to knowledge and to physical education professionals.
