Abstract

Faced with the context of social isolation, caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, a new routine is inserted in the social reality, and its interactions are mediated by technological equipment, whether for work or study. In view of the facts presented, bodily activities, whether school or non-school, undergo profound transformations, it is necessary to investigate how Physical Education has adapted to the pandemic context, how did school Physical Education classes happen? How were sports, recreational and health promotion practices carried out?In this sense, the research entitled "Body Practices and Digital Technologies, Innovations and Challenges for Physical Education" is a descriptive and documentary field research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, developed in the municipality of Castanhal, where the pedagogical projects of the Physical Education training courses of the main Higher Education Institutions in the municipality were analyzed, in addition to the application of a Google Forms questionnaire with the active Physical Education teachers, with ties to the municipal government, which comprises two secretariats: Secretary of Education (SEMED) and Secretary of Sport and Leisure ( SEMEL); and the other Physical Education teachers with links in the main gyms in the municipality.The main objective of the study was to observe the use of digital technologies and the difficulties faced by Physical Education teachers in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic; in addition to analyzing whether they obtained initial training that supports the use of technologies. The data comes from information collected from the SEMEL and SEMED secretariats, Physical Education teachers and gyms, using structured questionnaires prepared using the Google Forms tool and sent electronically.The data was analyzed and correlated quantitatively using spreadsheets to quantify the frequency of the data and draw up graphs.
