This study aimed to analyze how members of a juvenile socio-educational center understand the body and the educational possibilities of sports practice in such a universe of body control. It deals with qualitative research of the phenomenological approach and of the descriptive type. The research took place in a socio-educational juvenile center working in the regime of freedom deprivation and located in a city of the Triângulo Mineiro region, MG, Brazil. Data came from structured interviews. Results showed a higher incidence of a dichotomous vision of the body among the conceptions posed by the center members since its socio-educational agents conceived the body as a usable object. Regarding the educational potential of the sport, the center members pointed out the human and citizen training a fundamental result, while its socio-educational agents ratified the disciplinary power of the body. It is concluded that the discourses of adolescents and socio-educational agents are heading towards paths, sometimes divergent, sometimes convergent, being indispensable more studies, researches and reflections on the body and sport in these institutions deprived of freedom.
