ResumoThis text aims at giving evidence that women's participation in Brazilian sports, despite a substantial increase in the last decades, deserves to be analyzed with caution. It implies in affirming that the conditions for access and participation in sports and body practices, be it in performance sports, leisure, or school physical education are not equal between men and women in terms of the visibility given by the media, the value of prizes awarded to the winners in sports competitions, among other issues. In other words, along the history of sports in Brazil there have been differences among the incentives, the sponsorships, the visibility, the opportunities and the power relations conferred to men and women, be it in terms of participation or in sports management. KEY WORDS: women and sports – body and sports practices participation in physical activities – school physical education.
