This study aimed to analyze the perceptions of high school students about the physical education classes. 72 students answered a questionnaire and 14 said they did not attend classes or participate sometimes. Health problems and shame were the main arguments used by them. The activities encourage the participation of some, but lead to the removal of others. The desire for diversified activities is common. The sport is enjoyed by everyone, including those who do not participate in the classes. However, it is important to identify the meaning given to the term, which sometimes seems to be confused with exercise and play. Thus, we believe that research on the subject is still needed.
