The present text discusses the understanding of high school students regarding the relations between studying the body and the Physical Education at school. The study is based on observations, semi-structured interviews, dialogues and field diaries, as instruments for collecting data. The results indicate that there is a dissociation between the Physical Education at school and the studies concerning the body. Studying the body is associated to Biology and Science, and to the interventions of the health professionals working at school. There is a biomedical, individualist and hierarchical perspective in relation to the knowledge concerning the body which is considered from a non-historical, decontextualized, disciplinary and fragmentary perspective. It problematizes the idea that studying the body is directly associated to learning cares to make it healthy, much more connected to the Health Sciences than to Pedagogy.
