Abstract
Objective: The objective of this review is to present the strengths already studied about how the discipline of physical education promotes health in the teaching environment. Bibliographic Review: The physical education discipline can no longer be considered just the moment of fun and relaxation as it has been for a long time. As much as there is a break in the formality of the classroom and a shift in the common environment in which disciplines are applied, it is necessary to consider all the important aspects that lead to the valorization of the practice of sports. Keeping the body in motion is, for the most part, keeping the body healthy. The practice of sports in a country where most of the population is sedentary, appears as an alternative in combating diseases caused by stagnation of the body, overweight, among other consequences of not maintaining a minimum pace of physical activities. Final Considerations: The study is based on the dissemination and proposition of ideas that lead to clarifying the importance of practicing sports in the school environment, especially with regard to its health benefits.
