The physical education teacher’s conceptions of body and health are no longer homogeneous during the career. This study aims to analyze and to discuss the meanings attributed to body and health in the relations between aging as a physical education teacher and his professional practice. Data were collected by using 22 semi-structured interviews with physical education teachers who used to work in schools and gyms. In the gym, the professional practice used to be linked to aesthetics and nowadays is directed to health and wellness. Concerning the professional practice in schools, the social aspect overlapped the health discussion, probably considering the change of student’s profile along the years.Downloads
