The participation of the pedagogical sub-area in stricto sensu graduate programs in Physical Education in Brasil from 2013 througt 2016

The aim of this article is to analyze the participation of the pedagogical sub-area in stricto sensu graduate programs in Physical Education in Brazil from 2013 through 2016. A survey was carried out on the CAPES "Sucupira" Platform, in graduate programs in physical education, and in the LATTES curricula of pedagogical sub-area teachers. Most teachers are linked to lines of research focusing on biodynamics. We analyzed the pedagogical sub-area teachers' production and realized that most of it is related to sociocultural themes. We conclude that greater production in other areas may indicate a migration process based on the teachers' survival attempt to remain as advisors in postgraduate programs that belong in area 21.
