The aim of this study was to describe and characterize the insertion of Physical Education in High School" as a scientific subject in national Physical Education and Sport Journals (period 2005-2010). We explored 3313 articles published in journals ranked in extracts A and B of the Qualis/CAPES System. Of these, 31 articles (1.06%) brought the theme of Physical Education in High School. Based on ANTUNES et al.14, it was possible to classify these 31 articles in the following 6 categories: Teaching-Learning Process and Indefinite: 8 articles (25.80% each) Purpose: 7 (22.6%), Characterization: 6 (19.35%), Epistemology: 2 (6.5%) and Teachers Training Process: no articles (0%). These data show that there is a restriction in knowledge production in the Physical Education and Physical Education in High School areas, suggesting that is needed to develop a strategic intersection between epistemologist dimension of the area, going through researches and teachers trainings process.
