GOIS JUNIOR, Edivaldo    LOVISOLO, Hugo R.. Physical Education and hygienist conceptions about race: A history of Brazilian Physical Education in the 1930’s. []. , 5, 3, pp.322-328. ISSN 1645-0523.

This study aims to verify if the hygienists’ theories were reproduced by the Brazilian Physical Education thought in the 1930’s. This view was accomplished through an historical research comparing major sources (specialized journals), as "Revista Educação Physica" (1932-1945) and "Revista de Educação Física do Exército" (1932-2000). The interpretations of the historical studies of the Physical Education in Brazil supported our first view of the problem. In conclusion, there was a reproduction of the hygienists’ theories, as the Lamarck’s and Galton’s ideas, in the Brazilian Physical Education in the 1930’s.
