摘要：The present study aimed to analyze the bodily practices performed by students at the secondary education level both in and outside Physical Education (PE) classes, arguing from the perspective of gender. A total of 416 2nd-year students (63.7% girls and 36.3% boys) at the secondary education level in the state public network in a city in the interior of Sao Paulo participated in the study. To collect the data, a questionnaire was prepared and analyzed based on categories of questions and systematic cross-gender comparisons. In general, boys were found to be more physically active than girls in relation to the practices performed both outside of school and in Physical Education classes. The groups demonstrated a distinction in the choice of corporal activities and their preferences for them, specifically, behaviors associated with the sociocultural context to which both girls and boys are exposed from birth to adulthood.
