Abstract

This review is about the book “Physical Education for Health: a bet on (form) a(c)tion” published in 2022 by Professor Victor José Machado de Oliveira. Segmented into three chapters, in addition to the preface signed by Professor Alex Branco Fraga (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) and the final considerations (based on provoking thought-movement), the referred work discusses the need for Physical Education (PE) for health, which is conceptualized, characterized and delimited from the expanded concept of health. PE for health is also related to the “operational” issue in the classes, that is, the need to consider the personal-individual, social and ecological axes. As a perspective for teachers, there is an approach to initial and continuing education, as well as provocations on how to expand the concept of health with a focus on collective involvement. Therefore, it is a work that brings information, raises research and promotes restlessness in the performance in the school field.
