Body and soul education as element for producing a healthy subject

Thinking the relationship between the education of the body and producing a healthy subject is being able to think of a physical education the practice of which provides health conditions for the subject. It is understood that the body is as a means of permanent representation so the subject can signify him or herself as a healthy being. The purpose of this reflection is to understand the education of bodily practices as something that allows the subject to re-present his or her view of a healthy body. In this respect, it is assumed that it would be crucial to build critical analytical processes on the various educational bodily practices that are instituted in everyday life, with reference to the conditions that subordinate the individual to social order.
