The Eurocentric standards became pillars of the Physical Education, spreading its ideals and precepts. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the curriculum structure of the Degree in Physical Education at UFRRJ to understand the possible dialogues that can be established with the local culture through a decolonial perspective. The study, of a qualitative nature, is characterized by document analysis, it is of a descriptive nature. After analyze the course description, it is possible to find a strong presence of the both physical education and exercise science. The curriculum attenuates the sportive character inherited from the period of the dictatorship and today assumes a bias of biological health, which meets the interests of the faculty and the media pressure for the training of professionals to the fitness field. The course discusses key issues in the teaching of Physical Education, however, it does not have much emphasis on the local reality.
