Abstract This work is characterized as a literature review, a bibliographic study, about the existing body and motricity concepts in the Phenomenology of Perception, from Merleau-Ponty. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the concepts of body and motricity in Merleau-Ponty and identify implications for the field of Physical Education. The research in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology indicates a reshaping the look on the human being and the way of being in the world. The movement is understood as sensitive language that expresses the being’s intention in relation to the world, to space, to others, to things, favoring an amplification in the concept of the body that historically was instituted to Physical Education: the body as an object of study; to also consider it as subject body. Besides being organic, the body is social, cultural and historical.
