Abstract:

This article indicates a part of an ethnographic research developed during one year in the resisting training sector of a Fitness Center located in a neighborhood at the city of Rio de Janeiro, whose the practitioners are poor and have in their job a big and daily physical effort. With an anthropological perspective of the symbolic interactionism, the main objective was to analyze how the corporal “limits” related to the pains figured in a symbolical way, the relations between the corporal work during the resistance training and the physical efforts demanded in their jobs. The observation results indicated that the practitioners conceived their body in an instrumental and utilitarian perception, because they associated the resistance training pain to the daily effort. There was an implicit relationship between the physical and laboral activities in the representations of the corporal “limits” in this case. The data are relevant to think the intervention and the sanitary activities in Public Health field.
