Resumo
The purpose of this study was to present an overview of the scientific
production in Physical Education, focusing on the life moment identi fied as middle-age. 18 Brazilian journals related to the area were
analyzed between 2000 and 2010, from which 79 articles focusing
middle age were selected. The hypothesis was that this theme is
poorly explored, seen that the selected articles represented only
2% of the 3.941 articles published in this period. It was observed, predominately, that: studies were field researches, conducted
with women, in a large age interval; themes were physical fitness,
diseases/risk factors, tests/equations validations, adhesion/motiva tion for exercise, sport, aging conception, special needs, sociability
and retirement. The analysis suggested that these themes were
treated from a biological perspective, and middle-age was character ized as a decline moment with physiological changes in the organism
that bring life damages; authors have used references about old age
to analyze/reflect data about middle-age, and disease, more than
health, was the central parameter for the analyzed studies.
