This article discusses the legitimacy crisis of school’s Physical Education from the “body” category. It brings questions about the discredit of the discipline in the school environment, despite its legality and unquestionable theory advances. Underscore the intrinsic connection, between body and school in the capitalist project consolidation. It advances in reflections to contextualize the debate about the Renewal Movement of Physical Education, particularly about critical pedagogy of Marxist orientation. On the whole, it points to limits in its meaning of the instrumentalized body in favor of a mental content assimilation or critical awareness. It is not meant to deny the classical forms of school education but to affirm the place of the body and, for extension, also to affirm the body practices and physical education in the children, young, and adults schooling, since the (physical and theoretical) school structure itself was historically designed to deny and immobilize the individuals corporeality.

Keywords : School; School's physical education; Legitimacy; Body; Marxist pedagogy.
