Challenges and possibilities for Physical Education and Anthropology

Ruan Galdino Fernandes

Since the 1980s, Physical Education in Brazil has witnessed concern about its horizons for study and research, which is why the importance of complementing and engaging with the human and social sciences to discuss explanations of the body and body culture of movement together with Physical Education has been problematised in academic circles. In this context, a number of studies have emerged that aim to understand the relationships and possibilities of using anthropology in Physical Education. In view of the epistemological need to explain the body from the biological to the cultural level, its limitations and nuances. The general aim of this research is to analyse the teaching of anthropology in the Physical Education degree course at the IFCE Caninde campus. The methodology used comprised a case study of a qualitative nature, also analysing bibliography and documents. By analysing the data from an interpretative perspective, this study concludes that Anthropology-based subjects are effectively relevant, given the considerable epistemological and reflective gains that this field can bring to scientific aspects that are in line with Physical Education.
