“…Another independent variable was the researcher's training area at the doctoral level. This information is important because Physical Education is considered an area that interrelates with different fields of knowledge 8,9 .…”

“…Different metrics (scientometrics) have been developed to guide or assess the quality of scientific production 6 . All of these metrics have advantages and disadvantages, so that a metric that has been equitable for the different Fields of Knowledge and the different theoretical and methodological perspectives of the same Field of Knowledge, as is the case of Physical Education, known as an inter and multidisciplinary area, has not yet been achieved 8,9 . Among these scientometric measures, the H Index stands out 10 .…”

To verify the association between sociodemographic, academic background, professional performance, bibliographic production and training of human resources factors with the H Index of CNPq scientific productivity researchers in the field of Physical Education. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 94 researchers with scientific productivity grants (PQ) in the field of Physical Education in Brazil distributed into academic prestige level: PQ 1A-1D (n = 41) and PQ 2 (n = 53). For this, the H Index of these researchers was analyzed in the Scopus database. Related factors were sociodemographic, academic background, professional performance, bibliographic production, and training of human resources (student supervisor). Simple and multiple linear regression was used with a 5% significance level. Results: The H Index, number of citations, number of scientific articles in the last 10 years, number of books in the last 10 years, and the training of students at graduate levels of PQ 1A-1D was higher than that of PQ 2 (p <0.05). The H Index of PQ 1A-1D scholarship researchers was directly related to the number of scientific articles [H index = 8.48 + 0.11 * (Articles)]. The H index of PQ 2 scholarship researchers was directly related to the number of scientific articles and academic books and, inversely to the student supervision at master level [H index = 15.19 + 0.06 * (Articles) + 2.45 * (Books)-0.34 * (Masters)]. Conclusion: H Index of researchers in the field of Physical Education in Brazil varied according to the academic recognition level.

“…Lund (2010) asumiendo básicamente los objetivos de la pionera Miss Homans, habla de 'tocar la mente, el cuerpo y el espíritu' a través de la educación y meter pasión por el movimiento. Para Twietmeyer (2012), en una teoría muy semejante a la que ya expusiera Anderson (2002), los kinesiologistas deberían involucrarse en humanidades; habla este autor de una 'vibrante presencia humanística' porque las humanidades harán al departamento de kinesiología más holístico, más unitario, con sentido de conjunto e identidad, y aportarán las herramientas para una comprensión del ser humano. Además, afirma, los kinesiologistas deberán reconocer la importancia de la experiencia apasionada de la actividad física.…”

RESUMENEn este artículo estudiamos la disputa epistemológica y pedagógica sobre la kinesiología/educación física que ha tenido lugar en las universidades de Estados Unidos desde 1990 hasta la actualidad. Hemos recogido el pensamiento de una muestra amplia de autores involucrados, con el propósito de obtener una visión de conjunto de un proceso que, de acuerdo con Morrow (2006), trata de esclarecer ¿de dónde venimos?, ¿qué somos?, ¿a dónde vamos? Tras el cotejo y análisis de la documentación más relevante concluimos que el periodo 1990-2013, caracterizado por una enconada pugna de paradigmas -en la que han estado implicados humanistas, positivistas, crosdisciplinaristas y subdisciplinaristas-, ha dado como resultado el dominio del paradigma integrador de Kretchmar (2007Kretchmar ( , 2008.

“…The nucleus of the subdisciplines is physical activity (Newell, 1990;Twietmeyer, 2012). Due to the diverse nature of the subdisciplines, the American Kinesiology Association (AKA, 2014) has constructed an undergraduate core for degree programs housed in kinesiology-based academic units that outlines the subdisciplinary knowledge base of kinesiology:…”

Lived Body Knowledge: Disciplinary Knowledge for Preservice Physical Education Teachers

The American Kinesiology Association has constructed an undergraduate core for degree programs that reside in kinesiology-based academic units. Since many Physical Education Teacher Education programs are housed in such units, there is a need to prioritize the areas of the undergraduate core, particularly the place of the scientific dimensions of physical activity and the practice of physical activity, in Physical Education Teacher Education curricula. Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of the lived body is employed to (a) challenge the predominant inclusion of the scientific dimensions of physical activity in teacher preparation curricula and (b) suggest that preservice physical education teachers need “lived body knowledge” of the subject matter to teach physical education. Lived body knowledge is skillful and meaningful engagement in dance, exercise, games, play, and/or sport. It is then argued that the practice of physical activity deserves a significant presence in Physical Education Teacher Education curricula
