The production of Education Physique Sportive Generalisée in France: sports as a educational possibility 1 6 Translated by Ernane Henrique de Oliveira. Email: radarufmg@gmail.com.

ABSTRACT

The present paper aims at analyzing the processes of formulation of Education Physique Sportive Généralisée [Physical Education Generalized Sport] (EPSG) in France, focusing on the subjects and principles that guided its elaboration. For such, we used specifically scientific journals and books related to the conceptual and methodological debate held in France, from the 1940’s to the 1950’s, as well as handbooks of the period that have amplified and refined the analysis of the elaboration of EPSG. We can observe that EPSG was taken as a form to reconfigure other ways of doing Physical Education, reordering the structures and practices that shape the teaching process and focusing on the role of games and sports for youth training.
