ABSTRACT In this work, we aim to discuss the main aspects of the interactions between Instagram digital influencers and a group of Physical Education academics from the Brazilian Northeast. This research is a case study whose data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with 20 students. We used content analysis for coding and categorization of speeches and webQDA software. The main types of interaction found permeate different levels of harmful behaviors, professional influence, health education and consumption. As a health area, Physical Education has an important role in considering these new ways of interacting with digital information media and their actors, considering the various training and professional contexts.

RESUMEN En este trabajo pretendemos discutir los principales aspectos de las interacciones entre los influenciadores digitales de Instagram y un grupo de académicos de Educación Física del Nordeste brasileño. Esta investigación es un estudio de caso cuyos datos se obtuvieron a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas a 20 estudiantes. Se utilizó el análisis de contenido para la codificación y categorización de los enunciados y el software webQDA. Los principales tipos de interacción encontrados permean diferentes niveles de conductas nocivas, influencia profesional, educación para la salud y consumo. Como área de la salud, la Educación Física tiene un papel importante en la consideración de estas nuevas formas de interacción con los medios digitales de información y sus actores, teniendo en cuenta los diversos contextos formativos y profesionales.

RESUMO Neste trabalho visamos discutir os principais aspectos das interações entre influenciadores digitais do Instagram e um grupo de acadêmicos de Educação Física do Nordeste brasileiro. Essa pesquisa é um estudo de caso cujos dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas a 20 estudantes de uma universidade do Nordeste brasileiro. Utilizamos a análise de conteúdo para codificação e categorização das falas e o software webQDA. Os principais tipos de interação encontrados perpassam diferentes níveis dos comportamentos nocivos, da influência profissional, da Educação para a saúde e do consumo. Enquanto área da saúde, a Educação Física tem um importante papel na consideração dessas novas formas de interagir com os meios digitais de informação e seus atores, considerando os variados contextos formativos e profissionais.

Abstract Aim: The promulgation of the 1996 Education Guidelines and Bases Law promotes debate on the construction of National Curricular Parameters (NCPs) for Basic Education, emerging traditional disciplines and transversal themes. Considering the relevance of NCPs today, the objective of this research was to analyze NCPs related to health and to identify relationships between health and physical education in NCPs for Physical Education in Elementary and High School. Method: This is a documentary study that analyzed the respective documents. Paul Ricœur's hermeneutic approach was used for the interpretation of these documents. Discussion: In this section, it was identified that these documents recognize health as a right; present a dynamic conception of health and emphasize the importance of citizen education. However, the documents contradict each other by emphasizing a reduction of Physical Education to physical exercise, remodeling of habits, emphasized valorization of biological mechanisms, and contradictory facts to understand health dynamics. Conclusion: Finally, the conclusions emphasize the main points in each document, showing that there are advances but there are also divergences between them related to health issues and even setbacks. In addition, new investigations related to this theme are suggested.

Abstract Aim: We aim to develop this study with the main objective to discuss perceptions about body and aging from the context of the ‘Our Healthier City’ project. Method: We use the phenomenological method to develop the research. Through a strategy of the situated phenomenon, we visit the place where it is experienced. We observed the lived world of the people there and interviewed 10 project participants. Results: In this way, we perceive that the aging body is ruled by taboos and prejudices, but develops every day, weaving meanings from movement, work, family, experiences, pleasures, and displeasures, caring for oneself by the understanding that life continues after old age and that death is an irreversible phenomenon. We also understand that it is a part of the body that ages fall, wrinkles, declines as a natural process but that cannot be considered just this, meaning that the body that grows older also develops in a polysemic cultural context with different meanings since old age is understood and lived in different ways by each one. Conclusion: We identify that the area of Physical Education has an academic production in the area of aging and old age that still need to be discussed in order to broaden the eyes for these bodies, so that they can not only be understood in their physiological and their effective responses to exercise, adaptation to physical activity and the types of training programs but also as beings that produce meanings from their experiences.
