This study aims at understanding how Freirean theory has been studied by the Physical Education (PE) academic community. A systematic review was carried out in the databases ERIC, SPORTDiscus, and Fuente Académica, with the following descriptors; Empowerment; Critical Theory; and Paulo Freire, combined with Physical Education both in English and Portuguese. Studies about dance, fight, gymnastics, sports, games, games, and/or rhythmic and expressive activities were selected for analysis. Knowledge production and the discussion were mapped for the following categories: Consciousness; Popular culture; and Empowerment. Freirean studies are rare in PE. However, those found show the contribution of Freire’s teachings to a more critical and democratic PE. Therefore, new investigations must further examine Freirean theory and PE.
