Educar al cuerpo dentro y fuera del aula. Análisis de dos experiencias en la Nueva Argentina de Perón

Abstract

After internal dissensions regarding the modes of state intervention, the National Council of Physical Education was created by presidential decree in 1947. Its main purposes were to spread body education among the population. Two important initiatives in this regard were the booklets called Compensatory gymnastics in the classroom and Gymnastics for offices. In the first case, an attempt was made to carry out physical activities at all times at school, with an innovative attempt to do exercises in the middle of classes for all school subjects. For its part, the second proposal named sought to extend the influence of the organism outside the school walls. An approach of both will allow me to reach some conclusions about the characteristics that Physical Education adopted in Perón's New Argentina.
