Abstract:

The article examines distances and interfaces between the fields of Physical Education (EF) and Public Health (SC) in the Brazilian context, expliciting tensions in the struggle for scientific authority and competence, using the concepts of “scientific field” and “nuclei of knowledge”. Understanding SC as an institutionalized, legitimized and scientifically consolidated field with three fundamental nuclei: Epidemiology; Social and Human Sciences; and Policy, Planning and Management; we show its approximation to the EF field, resulting in specific knowledge and practices of EF in SC. By naturalizing the language of risk of sedentary lifestyle, Epidemiology nucleus was the first link of this new field. Nevertheless, reflectionsthe Social Sciences broaden the understanding of the EFSC objects of study by recognizing the multidimensional nature of the bodily culture related to health. The nucleus Policy only got contours recently when physical activity became a priority in a set of policies and programs to combat chronic diseases and to promote health. Tensions between the biological and social paradigms mark the conformation of the fields and represent a major challenge to be due by EFSC but the critical thinking in health offers a promising way for overcoming it.
