In this paper we analyzed the influence of the market in physical activity and sport, which currently appears associated with greater attention to the human body. Document analysis and empirical evidence show that through physical activity and sport, the market asserts the advantages of an ideal/legitimate appearance for strengthening interpersonal relationships and for advancing the supremacy of physical attractiveness both as a parameter of social acceptability and a measure of value of exchange between individuals.
