Several studies and research indicate that the regular practice of physical activity has numerous health-related benefits. Studies show that the practice of physical activity is one of the most efficient tools for health promotion, and new research emphasizes that people who are physically active live longer than sedentary individuals. Despite all these data, these factors do not seem to be crucial and sufficient to make sedentary individuals practice and maintain a certain consistency with regard to physical activity. This study is a review that aims to analyze and present the reasons why the population performs the regular practice of physical activity. Searches were carried out based on selected articles in which the reasons for the practice of physical activity were highlighted. The searches were carried out in the following databases: Scielo, Google Scholar and Capes. It can be concluded that adolescents are mainly motivated by intrinsic aspects and factors, predominantly by the category of pleasure, status and, finally, personal achievements and competitiveness in the practice of PA. However, in the adult and elderly phase, the most relevant factors change, and aspects of physical conditioning and health, weight loss and aesthetics become more relevant, that is, extrinsic factors in evidence.
