ResumoDue to the increase of the aging population, there have been a significant number of Physical Education/Physical Activity programs designed for them. It comes to time when the role of Physical Education in the aging process needs to be critically analyzed as well as the paradigm that the discourse and practice are based on, which, by been guided by economic interests, emphasize prejudice and stereotypes. The aim of this study is to reflect upon the role of Physical Education in the aging context. The hegemonious scientific paradigm, that is the foundation and determinant of the Health practice and thus the Physical Education practice will be analyzed so that the need to go beyond this hegemony can be pointed out.
