Abstract The present work had as objective to identify, through the opinion of the schoolchildren of an eighth grade class, of a state public school in the city of Niterói, whether / how / why the curriculum component Physical Education has left, over time, gaps about their learning. It is an exploratory, descriptive and interpretative study, supported by the theoretical framework of Social Representations that used a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) to interpret the data obtained through a semi-open questionnaire. The results give us indications that the absence of Physical Education in the initial years of Elementary Education may have contributed to the lack of interest of these students, as well as the lack of plurality of contents of the body culture of the movement.
