Abstract

This study aimed to verify the effects of intervention models on the motor activity of children elaborated from the self-efficacy theory. The systematic review of randomized controlled clinical trials with the PRISMA strategy was used. Sixteen studies were descriptively analyzed and revealed that knowledge based on the self-efficacy theory related to motor activity has been more frequently integrated into broad intervention programs in the school environment, collectively applied, stimulating aspects related to children's health and prevention of childhood obesity. Important results were obtained in the development of self-efficacy and motor activity stimulation; however, results are not conclusive regarding the mediation among these variables. Contributions for intervention programs are detailed in this manuscript, allowing the visualization of strategies to build a mastery context, favoring the establishment of an adequate concept of motor self-efficacy in children and the development of self-regulation skills.
