THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLINIC IN THE HEALTH PUBLIC POLICES: INTERFACES BETWEEN NUCLEUS AND FIELD

Abstract

This study sought to discuss the insertion of Physical Education Professionals (PEFS) in Public Health Policies (PPS), analyzing the tensions between the nucleus and the field from their entry into policies such as the Family Health Support Center, Health Academy Program and Complementary Integrative Practices in Health team. To produce data, visits to health services, in-depth interviews, observations and notes in a field diary were carried out, using Thematic Analysis of the empirical material. The study pointed out that there are similarities and differences in the practices of professionals working in PPS that transcend the Physical Education nucleus, always seeking a closer relationship with the field of Health. The findings revealed the potential of building a Physical Education Clinic that relates to the health needs of the user population.
