Resumo:
A large part of Brazilian evangelicals, from traditional groups, have restrictions related to the body which drive them away from sporting activities, dancing, gymnastics, and other corporal practices. Nevertheless, many of them participate in activities during Physical Education classes, as this is a school discipline. Therefore, this research aims to analyze how and if experiences in corporal practices during Physical Education classes are capable of transforming the relations of evangelical students with these practices and the ‘use of the body’ in leisure practices. We carried out ethnographic research in two public schools in São Paulo state for a school year, in Secondary Education classes. The analyses presented are the fruit of our daily observations and the discourse of the students selected. The results suggested that churches have been attempted to govern their follower’s corporal practices. However, there are breaches during Physical Education classes that allow young evangelicals to experience secular activities.
