Abstract

Our purpose is to understand the complexity that exists in the dynamic process of professional intervention in Physical Education. As for that, our main purpose was to understand the relation of the several elements that are present in the intervention of the Physical Education professional. A qualitative approach study was carried out, using elements of ethnographic case study. A professional who works as a personal trainer with almost 30 years of experience was analyzed. After the data analysis, the following terms were found: fitness center, students and training, making up the cultural theme defined by the professional himself as a way of life. Based on the theme, it was noticed that the professional carries out his interventions based on the knowledge acquired with his practice, guiding the decision making process.
