The article deals with the presence of physical education in the Revista do Ensino de Minas Gerais (Magazine of Teaching of Minas Gerais), in the period 1925-1935. Its publication and circulation, from 1925 on, played a central role in the shaping of the schooling in Minas Gerais. This way, it became a support to and a condition for the organization of physical education, becoming a strategy not only for its diffusion, but also for the formation of future teachers.
