A educação física escolar e o esporte de alto rendimento

Abstract

Introduction: School Physical Education is one of the preferred disciplines of students, however, although it is present in most of our lives, it is not recognized as one of the main curricular subjects. Revealing itself significantly important to our health and wellness promotion, its practice may favor the initiation of a high level athlete. For their better use, students should not understand the Physical Education class as only an hour of leisure or recreation, but as a class as important as the others, full of knowledge that provide them with many benefits in their daily life, arousing pleasure to learn, empower the ability to create and recreate learning situations, as well as expanding their ability to communicate. Objectives: This study sought to verify if there is a significant influence of the School Physical Education discipline in the preparation and training of the high performance athlete. Methodology: To obtain data on the subject, a qualitative, descriptive and transversal collection instrument was adopted, with variable affirmative questions seeking to abstract the opinions of the chosen public, and, later, the answers were analyzed. The chosen public is formed by athletes who have participated or participate in at least one competition recognized by a federation, at state and national level, coming from any sport or modalities. Results: We used categories of analysis highlighting the main subjects of the research, which were unified with the affirmations of those surveyed in the questionnaire and the authors' rationale, which had a greater emphasis on the influence on the sport of soccer, a sport experienced in the school period that led many athletes to discover their talent for the sport. Conclusion: Physical education provides the student with this opportunity to experience the modality and from there to find out for the sport, since one of the functions of the school is to organize the society, participating in the integral formation of the human being, having the game as a teaching medium , assuming a role of paramount importance, directly or indirectly in the formation of high performance athlete (sic).
