A influência da educação física como componente curricular na iniciação ou continuidade da prática para além do ambiente escolar

Abstract

This study is a way of verifying how Physical Education as a curricular component at school can be seen and interpreted when taken beyond the school environment. With the increase in the number of sedentary young people and adults, the risk of deaths from diabetes, hypertension and obesity, due to a sedentary lifestyle, has increased exponentially in recent years and, currently, Physical Education is at an important and relevant moment. We list and discuss with some authors that deal with the theme "Physical Education and Health" and we did a survey open to the community as a way to also link common sense about the importance of discipline in school and beyond. The results found illustrated how Physical Education can be an instrument in the area of health inside and outside the school, however, this path is still long and it is necessary to search with one step at a time for the ascension and improvement of the vision of the Physical Education in society.
