Qualidade vida e saúde na visão de autores da educação física: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The theme of this study refers to notions of health and quality of life present in theoretical productions of Physical Education. The objective is to understand how authors of Brazilian Physical Education understand health and quality of life. The research consists of a narrative review of the literature where the criterion for selecting the analyzed works was based on the work Physical Education and the concept of culture. The justification for the choice of such works was due to their impact on the academic-scientific and professional scenario of the area. The analysis of the works allows us to infer: i) the analyzed works bring underlying notions of health that appropriate segments of the definition of health as biopsychosocial well-being without integrating them; ii) it is possible to bring together the approaches in the biopsychic and political-ideological models; ii) both models lack an effective proposal to work with the public that Physical Education serves, as they distance themselves from current demands in the area. . The research suggests that the analyzed authors lack discussions about health and quality of life capable of guiding professional performance strategies to meet the demands of the current social scenario. There is a need for more dialogue on the part of the defenders of the aforementioned models, with a view to a better service by Physical Education to society. Keywords: health, quality of life, psychosocial well-being, Physical Education.
