Abstract

In October 2024, as I was preparing this special issue of the Movimento journal, dedicated to sport ethics, I was struck by the sad news of the passing of two outstanding figures in Brazilian physical education, Silvino Santin and Adroaldo Gaya. Their contributions to the development of knowledge in the field and to the professional practice of physical educators are invaluable and form a lasting legacy. The editors of Movimento, as well as myself, deeply felt these losses and immediately embraced my request to honor these two esteemed colleagues by dedicating this special issue to them, on a topic that so intrigued and delighted them.

These two academics held distinct and sometimes radically opposing views on physical education. However, both shared intellectual courage and critical depth in their analyses – qualities that made them essential figures in Brazilian academia. I am certain that everyone who had the privilege of knowing them and benefited from their teachings joins in this heartfelt tribute. May their contributions continue to echo, inspiring new reflections and promoting transformative practices in the field of physical education.
