The objective of this study is to comprehend the strategies utilized by publishers in order to turn the periodical press devoted to teaching and techniques as a means to disseminate and persuade teachers concerning the introduction of physical education in the school curricula. The sources are the editorials from five magazines published between 1932 and 1960, whose common characteristic was to provide those working on teaching physical education with didactic-pedagogical guidance. Theoretical-methodological assumptions of the study are the concepts of struggles for representations, strategies, tactics, and the perspective of analysis of the printed materials. Interpreting sources dangles towards the disputes and negotiations among the publishers of periodicals, especially among groups of civil and military writers, as it benefitted the publication of didactic-pedagogical guidance based on a diversity of methods and exercises. In an environment where educational policies were consolidated, certain magazines were concerned about unifying the teaching of physical education, in a movement that acknowledged the theoretical bases and the pedagogical orientation already established in the area. Analysis reveals that periodicals fulfilled their purpose, namely, contribute to make physical education a school subject as there the professional work is this area had grown stronger through teacher training in higher education in the civil domain. This way of organizing the area allowed to devise a printout whose characteristics led to the transition from a press dedicated to teaching and technique to a press dedicated to research, providing the bases for scientific periodicals covering physical education.
