Abstract
This study aimed to identify and analyze the themes of body culture mobilized in the interventions of Physical Education professionals working in Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) and understand their presence in urban spaces outside the CAPS. We collected data through semi-structured interviews with 18 Physical Education professionals, members of the eight CAPS teams in Goiânia (GO), Brazil. Data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results indicated that the interventions involve different themes. In the social imagination, the activities are instead related to the perspective of physical fitness development, and “sports” and “physical and gymnastic exercises” were the most reported. However, there is a scope for others that are less marked by the expected physical fitness development.
