There are texts that are uncomfortable and, therefore, are silenced. There are others whose author is also annoying and suffer the same fate. This is the case with this book, which was discarded as a scientific work because the author was unsuitable.
Between 2015 and 2022, a project was proposed to the academy that would evaluate, from the point of view of public policies, a fundamental issue for our society: the promotion of physical activity as a condition for improving the health of the population. Despite having received recognition from many people for the importance of the topic, the work always came up against academic antagonism who in no way questioned its structure or relevance. It was concluded that the antagonism had more to do with the person of its author than with the value of the work.
As the author was not a “well-behaved boy” at the academy, nor did he follow corporate requirements, all criticism was intended to remove him from any opportunity to promote his work. Firstly, because the work calls into question policies to promote physical activity. And then because it leaves evidence that better general health reduces public spending, which goes against many interests.
We intend to edit this work so that it is available to everyone. The aim is to disseminate knowledge of this problem and contribute to shaking down some anathemas about physical activity.
