This essay presents an inter-institutional research initiative that brings together three research groups linked to graduate programs in physical education: the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, the University of Sao Paulo, and the Federal University of Espirito Santo. The main topics behind the project are the training policies for physical education and public health, which, initially, focus on the Education Program for Work in Health. The investigations to be undertaken aim to monitor and analyze the composition and coordination processes involved in teaching, in services, and in the community in pursuit of constituting a network of knowledge and practices that can meet the challenges of providing training in health committed to defending and consolidating the Unified Health System (SUS).

The videogame Wii Fit, object of this research, is one of these games which tries to promote the practice of physical activity in an entertaining way. This article presents a study based on virtual ethnography, involving an online content analysis about the perceptions of Wii Fit users about the game. Three virtual communities have been analyzed, looking for posts about the perceptions of users regarding the influence of the game in their physical activity practices and healthy eating.

This study presents a mapping of theoretical references for the professional education of personal trainers in electronic databases. Besides revealing this subject’s low scientific production, literature also demonstrated the personal trainer’s reliance on books employing current business-world language. These findings led us to question the business/physical health discourse, specially marketing for the forming of this professional occupation. Jeremy Rifkin, Zygmunt Bauman, Paula Sibilia and Denise Sant’Anna help to understand that marketing targeted to personal trainers has as a task to reinvent, to resignify and “to repaginate” this type of service in name of survival in the competitive market of active life.

O artigo e oriundo de um estudo sobre os curriculos de formacao superior em Educacao Fisica da ESEF/UFRGS em 70 anos de existencia. O objetivo geral foi evidenciar elementos que mobilizaram alteracoes curriculares marcantes ao longo deste periodo. Para tanto, realizamos um mapeamento das grades curriculares de 1941 a 2010 por meio dos seguintes documentos: registros de graus, catalogos de cursos, pagina da UFRGS na internet entre outros. Atraves de analise documental destacamos seis “pontos de tensao” que se constituiram a partir de, e ao mesmo tempo mobilizaram, importantes alteracoes curriculares: 1) curriculos da ESEF e o marco regulatorio educacional 2) vinculacao das disciplinas aos diferentes departamentos; 3) separacao dos percursos curriculares de homens e mulheres; 4) proporcionalidade entre disciplinas obrigatorias e eletivas; 5) surgimento e expansao dos estagios obrigatorios; 6) fortalecimento da pesquisa na formacao inicial. Por recobrir todo o periodo analisado, e se articular mais densamente com os demais, aqui nos concentramos exclusivamente no primeiro ponto. Concluimos que a pressao exercida pelo marco regulatorio educacional sobre os cursos de formacao da ESEF/UFRGS foi mais intensa em tres grandes momentos: federalizacao da escola em 1970, mudancas curriculares de 1987 e divisao licenciatura/bacharelado em 2005.

Esse artigo se propoe a contar a historia da disciplina de Educacao Fisica no curriculo da mais antiga Escola Profissionalizante de Porto Alegre. O texto foi construido a partir da analise de documentos relativos ao ensino ministrado nesta instituicao de ensino entre os anos de 1966 e 2012. Apos a analise, a historia foi contada em tres categorias tematicas, as quais representam a entrada da Educacao Fisica nos curriculos da Escola; o desaparecimento da Educacao Fisica dos curriculos da Escola; e, o retorno da disciplina aos curriculos da mais antiga Escola Profissionalizante de Porto Alegre. O recente retorno da Educacao Fisica aos curriculos dessa Escola ocorre em uma nova modalidade de ensino de nivel medio (curso tecnico integrado ao ensino medio) e indica uma mudanca nos conteudos historicamente desenvolvidos pela disciplina nessa Escola Profissionalizante.
