This study aimed to analyze the circulation of the “Modern Swedish Gymnastics” in the Brazilian Journal of Physical Education, during the period of its existence, 1944-1952. The Swedish gymnastics, created by Pehr Henrik Ling in the early nineteenth century, underwent a reconfiguration in Europe constituting a “Modern Swedish Gymnastics”, which circulated in Brazil. The Brazilian Journal of Physical Education was a communication means through which different subjects dedicated to the teaching of gymnastics pointed to a form of gymnastics that opposed Ling's rigid and monotonous gymnastics. Therefore, a new way to educate the body was possible in Brazil, at a time when Brazilian physical education was discussing about an appropriate method for the field.
