MOVINGNESS: A PRAISE FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT

Abstract

The essay presents some of the developments of the notion of movingness and justifies its reach to think about Physical Education and Sport, as well as their relationships. Initially, some of the theoretical positions about Physical Education and Sport in our field are summarized. Subsequently, the emergence of the concept of movingness in the author’s trajectory is contextualized, in order, in the next topic, to defend it as an anthropological universal. Finally, from the theory of movingness outlined, we seek to point out the scope of Physical Education and Sport as knowledge systems in contemporaneity. It is concluded that the movingness expands the understanding of Physical Education and Sport, in addition to allowing us to equate some of the recognized epistemological problems of our craft.

Keywords:
