FERREIRA, António Gomes. O ensino da educação física em Portugal durante o Estado Novo. Perspectiva [online]. 2004, vol.22, n.numeroespecial, pp.197-224. ISSN 0102-5473.

The present article discusses the development of Physical Education in Portuguese schools during Estado Novo, a period under Oliveira Salazar’s dictatorship (1932-1968). It starts with the beginning of the implementation of this discipline in the Portuguese schools by the end of the 19er century, and goes through several phases that have brought about its institutionalized character. This paper also shows the concerns of the State with the setting of Physical Education, which was influenced by the conservative power from the thirties on of the 20th century. Based on the historical development of the Physical Education, it is concluded that the beginning of the seventies represents a phase of transition from old forms of thinking and practicing Physical Education in the schools to modernized tendencies of thinking and doing this discipline, such as the psychomotricity, sports for all, and sports as instructional content.
