This study examines the episodic characterizations of the topic of health in the curricula of the Physical Education and Sports Center at the Federal University of Espírito Santo. It is a qualitative research based on the examination of curricular documents and interviews to seven professors of the teaching qualification degree and bachelor’s degree courses. The key to data analysis is the structuration theory by Anthony Giddens, especially the notion of episode. The results showed three episodes focused on: I) the rupture with the minimum curriculum and an exogenous presence of the topic of health; II) the reorientation to teacher education and the exit from the Biomedical Center; III) the creation of a new course and its paradoxes. This episodic characterization enable us to problematize how the topic of health has been addressed in the curriculum of Physical Education - including its weak presence in the teaching qualification degree course and the dominant biology content in the bachelor’s degree course.
