• Abstract:

  Physical Education classes should provide diverse knowledge to students, however, there is a greater intention on the part of teachers to use more traditional sports, especially the choice of football/futsal. The media can have an influence on teachers' choices and students' preferences, so the objective of the study is to identify what content is present in sports programs and bring discussions about this topic in Physical Education classes at schools. The research is quantitative in nature. After analyzing the stations' weekly schedule, 4 open TV channels were selected: Globo, SBT (TV Alterosa), Bandeirantes and Record. After data collection, 17 categories were separated that are mentioned in the programs: Aquatics, Athletics, Motorsports, Adventure, Network Sports, Electronics, Bizarre Sports, Fitness, Gymnastics, Individual, Team Sports Games, Fights, Obstacles, Olympics, Pandemic, Paralympics and Variety. With this, each category was added together, which in turn was transformed into a percentage. The results demonstrated a discrepancy between football and other sports through the media: 80.89% in Globo Esporte, 56.17% in Esporte Espetacular, 95.58% in Jogo Aberto, 97.75% in Donos da ball, 98 .77% in Alterosa Esporte and 82.69% in Esporte Fantástico. It is concluded that a large part of the sports media has its content focused on football, giving little visibility to other sports areas. As a result, children can be influenced by sport and due to their preference, teachers during Physical Education classes end up letting children practice what they like.
