Abstract

The influence of the sport in the discipline of Physical education in Brazil reached it apex in the decade of 70 of the century XX, period marked by the education project, authoritarian and conservative, of the military regime (1964-1985). In that context, the discipline of Physical Education incorporated the longings and the ideology of the transformation of Brazil in a sporting potency of international recognition and of the creation of a national sporting system. That direction fomented the implementation in new ways and models of performance for the Physical education tuned with the military governments' guidelines and their projections for the development of the national sport. Before that, the mark of that rehearsal is centralized in the analysis of the historical process of statement of the sport as central content of the classes of school Physical Education. Besides, it was aimed at, to relate that action to the military governments' education politics and the research initiatives for the area. In order to reach the proposed objectives, a theoretical-methodological perspective is adopted based in the concepts of the Critical Theory of the Sport. Like this, it tries to insert the sport and their manifestations in the discussions of the social sciences, under a critical sieve of marxist and frankfurt inspiration. In that sphere, it is presupposed that the sporting practices should be inserted in the critic the logic of the capitalist system and considered product and auxiliary mechanism of conservation of the capitalist relationships. It was verified the Physical Education and sport served as a valuable device assistant of the conservation of the dominant ideology and of the social resignation. In that way, the sport inserted in the school interior promotes the ideological control, the harmonization of the social conflicts and the reification of the linked culture the corporal practices. In spite of, the submission is indicated from the discipline to the interests of the sporting system. Finally, it is affirmed that the sport in the school should be problematized and the need of practices cultural alternatives is reiterated guided by the students' emancipation.
