Educación física, Salud, Bienestar, EquidadResumen
En este artículo, argumento que el campo de la Educación Física está en constante estado de precariedad provocado por fuerzas sociales externas. Estas fuerzas poderosas tienen la capacidad de producir condiciones que dejan el campo (y las personas que lo componen) en condiciones de inestabilidad, vulnerabilidad e inseguridad. Como forma de ilustrar esto, primero demuestro algunos de los distintos lazos que el test de aptitud física tiene con entidades culturales, sociales, políticas y económicas de la sociedad. Demuestro, entonces, como las articulaciones entre estas relaciones pueden producir efectos negativos para el campo de la Educación Física, sus profesores y los (diferentes) jóvenes que lo componen. Argumento que el uso de la pedagogía crítica es la mejor manera de enseñar fitness y test de condicionamiento entre los jóvenes. Usando una pedagogía responsiva, defiendo que los jóvenes pueden desarrollar las habilidades para responder a las precariedades que enfrentan debido a las pruebas de aptitud física.
