Abstract

ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between body, health, and movement beyond biological determinism and the current biomedical paradigm should consider other emerging interpretations that consider the multiplicity of the innumerable dimensions of which the triad can be composed as well as the different relationships that could exist between them. The paradigm of complexity is presented in this essay with the purpose of supporting other interpretations of physical activity that are less simplifying, linear and causal and that can incorporate openness, incompleteness, uncertainty and transdisciplinarity. The theory of complexity represents a stimulating and potent contribution to the dynamic study of the health-disease process and the physical activity in this panorama.RESUMO Compreender a relação entre corpo, saúde e movimento além do determinismo biológico e do paradigma biomédico vigente consistiria em considerar outras interpretações emergentes e que consideram a multiplicidade das inúmeras dimensões das quais a tríade pode ser composta, além das diferentes relações que poderiam existir entre si. O paradigma da complexidade é apresentado neste ensaio com o propósito de amparar outras interpretações da atividade física que sejam menos simplificadoras, lineares e causais e que possam incorporar a abertura, a incompletude, a incerteza e a transdiscipliniridade. A teoria da complexidade representa uma estimulante e potente contribuição para o estudo dinâmico do processo saúde-doença e a questão da atividade física nesse panorama.
