The Comparative knowledge is considered in Physical Education when planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating policies. It also applies to curricula, classes, and research. The Epistemology of Comparative Physical Education deals with the validity of this knowledge. The objective of this article is to discuss how the various epistemological perspectives are manifested in the production of comparative knowledge for Physical Education. The epistemological perspectives regarding the ontological and gnoseological presuppositions that it suggests, and their applications in comparative work, are exposed. It is concluded that in Comparative Physical Education there is a confluence, complementation, and triangulation between the epistemological perspectives, the methods and techniques that they promote. It is not only inevitable but also laudable. The work systematizes experiences of teaching and research work of the authors in epistemological issues related to Physical Education.

Keywords : Epistemology; Comparative Education; Comparative Physical Education.
