The objective was to verify how the race/color variable has been stratified in Brazilian studies that had physical activity (PA) as a dependent variable and the association between race/color with free-time physical activity (FTPA). A review was carried out in 4 electronic databases and 6 journals. In the 16 studies found, 6 forms of stratification were observed, the most used being: white, brown, black, yellow and indigenous.  The “white” category was included in all studies. In FTPA, of the 8 studies found, 3 showed associations, but the direction of these varied according to age group. It is concluded that race/color has been investigated quite differently in studies that had PA as a dependent variable and that the relationship with FTPA seems to vary according to age group.
