The current reality of the inclusion of fight modalities in school physical education classes in the municipality of Barra do Garças-MT

Although the Physical Education curriculum in schools includes fights, they continue to receive little importance. This study sought to identify the current reality of the application of struggles in school Physical Education, in Barra do Garças-MT, bringing a comparison with the city of Rio de Janeiro-RJ. This is a primary observational and cross-sectional study with two forms of observation, descriptive and comparative, using an adapted questionnaire previously applied and validated in the city of Rio de Janeiro-RJ, consisting of 9 closed questions. Twelve Physical Education professionals (4 women and 8 men) from public schools in Barra do Garças-MT were interviewed. The present study presents results that suggest that the non-inclusion of these contents is not due to the lack of interest of professionals or students, but to insufficient academic training. The fights must have the same importance as other contents of the curriculum of the Physical Education course, and the inclusion of this content is encouraged.
