Introduction: Adolescence represents a crucial period in the formation of habits that will last into adulthood. The practice of constant physical activity results in good academic development, psychic homeostasis, and maintenance of ideal body weight. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of physical activity among adolescents in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais (MG). Methods: This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and analytical study, carried out in 13 educational institutions in Montes Claros (MG) in 2017, using the Regular Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ-C) to evaluate the practice of physical activity, related to the variables: gender, age group, and school grade. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed with a significance level of 5%. Results: 897 students were interviewed, with an average age of 12.64 (±0.98) years. Of those interviewed, 48.0% were considered moderately active, followed by 29.9% sedentary and 22.0% active. There was a higher prevalence of active people in the first two years of elementary school II, male and younger people (p<0.001). The average number of hours watching TV for the entire group was 7.45 (±6.47) hours per day. In the surveyed sample, students who were aged between 13 and 14 years (p<0.05) spent more hours watching TV per day and had lower average PAQ-C scores. The number of hours watching TV was not influenced by the physical activity level in any of the variables. Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of male adolescents classified as active, as well as students aged between 11 and 12 years and in the first two years of elementary school II. However, the population analyzed presents a worrying sedentary behavior, considering the number of hours spent by these individuals watching TV per day.
