PRESTA, Michelle Guidi Gargantini; SCHIAVON, Laurita Marconi  and  BORTOLETO, Marco Antonio Coelho. Gymnastics Teaching in Public Higher Education Institutions of the State of Minas Gerais. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2025, vol.32, e2025-14.  Epub Nov 27, 2025. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v32e2025-14.

This article is part of a nationwide study that analyzed the teaching of Gymnastics in public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and the profile of the professors responsible for this activity. In this excerpt, we present the results related to the state of Minas Gerais. With a documentary research, we reviewed the official websites of the HEIs and subsequently, the professors’ curricula. We analyzed the websites of the 11 institutions and, through an email consultation with the coordinators, we listed the professors responsible for teaching Gymnastics courses in 2020. This survey enabled us to establish a relationship between those who teach, study, research, and produce knowledge in the area of Gymnastics, along with the importance of these specialists in the disciplines. Although they are a minority, the state of Minas Gerais has some professors with specialized and long-term work, nucleating the development of Gymnastics and offering significant representation in the state.
