COLLECTIVE HEALTH AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION COURSES CURRICULUM

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

This study aimed to review the publications that focus on Collective Health (CH) and Public Health (PH) in the curriculum of Physical Education courses (PE) in Brazil. A systematic literature review was conducted. The searches were performed in the LILACS, PubMed, SciELO and SPORTDiscus databases, by combining the descriptors and terms “collective health” OR “public health” AND “curriculum” AND “physical education”. Six researshes were included. The articles indicate little incorporation of CH and PH themes into PE training courses. In addition, they appear mostly in the formation of baccalaureate courses. Moreover, even thought they are present in the curriculum, they appear inconsistent and without sufficient density for interlocutions with public health services.
