The paper is a result of a research with teachers who accomplish 'novel' pedagogic practices in the school physical education. It is searched and analyzed the elements that were and are important, in the teachers' view, to support those pedagogic practices. The reports from investigated teachers and the subsequent analysis of the elements pointed out by them, in one side, reinforce the idea that the comprehension of the totality of that phenomena could not be obtained without examining the complex network of relations among the internal and external school determinants; on the other side, neither it is possible to approach the question without considering the professional trajectory of the 'innovator' teacher.
