This study aimed to conduct a literature review on instruments for assessing physical activity in Brazilian children and adolescents. The research included academic publications addressing the improvement, validation, and application of various measurement instruments. International questionnaires adapted to the Brazilian context were identified, such as the IPAQ, PAQ-C, PAQ-A, and C-PAQ, in addition to instruments developed in Brazil, such as the questionnaire by Florindo et al. (2006) and the SAYCARE. The analysis of the research reveals a variety of instruments used, which compromises the comparability of results between studies. It is suggested that a single instrument be standardized or that questionnaires with proven validation and reproducibility be adopted for the Brazilian population, with the aim of strengthening the scientific evidence on the level of physical activity of children and young people in the country.
