The place of experience in Physical Education

This paper brings the discussion to the place of experience and knowledge experience as a chance to meet within the body practices in Physical Education. This study is based on Hans-Georg Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics to understand the movement to legitimize Physical Education in distinct social spaces, placing it in time, contextualizing its tradition and ramifications for knowledge production. Understanding the experience can give us the keys for understanding of the complex phenomenon of human movement, since they cannot be understood as manipulation and control, but as participation and openness.
