Abstract:
As part of an effort to review the Physical Education (PE) field’s theoretical configuration, we sought to demarcate the specificities of the research program bequeathed to the area by José María Cagigal. The manuscript was divided into three sections. In the first one, we intend to offer a summary of Cagigal’s thinking and identify the role played by the notion of physical culture in his enterprise. Then we outline some of the fundamentals that underpin his progressive program for PE. Finally, by way of synthesis, we suggest that his research program is not degenerating and that some of his notions are not only current but also deserve to be taken up again.
