The study aimed to analyze the Ages of Practice in Brazilian Physical Education as well as to reflect on the “idea about the idea” that structured the representations of this curricular component in schools, based on a historical perspective in dialogue with the analyses of David Kirk. The essay is organized into three sections: 1) an analysis of the “idea about the idea of PE”; 2) an understanding of the mosaic of ideas in Brazilian PE, with a description of each of the three Ages of Practice; and 3) an examination of the tensions and future possibilities surrounding these Ages. The conclusion highlights that paradigm shifts in Brazilian Physical Education have not occurred linearly but rather through intense struggles and disputes that are still unfolding. The agents within this field are configured as social actors in this process, occupying different positions and either contributing to or hindering the construction of its legitimacy.
