El atletismo escolar desde la perspectiva de los estudiantes de educación física

Athletics is considered the basis for other sports because it has basic movements, such as running, jumping and throwing. But it has been overlooked in Physical Education classes. With this, the objective of the research was to verify how was the experience of the students of the 1st year of the Physical Education course with the content of athletics in the school period (elementary and high school). For that, an online questionnaire containing 11 questions was applied. As a result, it was diagnosed that regardless of school education being in private or public network, few had access to athletics content. As well as there is an absence of infrastructure and materials to work with athletics in this context. It is concluded with the research that these factors become limiting to not be applied during classes. But it is indicated that the content can be adapted in several ways, from implements, locations and in a playful way.
