| Resumo: | This research thematizes the relationships between body, health and illness from the
experiences of Physical Education professionals (PEF) who experience processes of illness
related to herniated discs. This is phenomenological research with the aim of understanding
the perception of the body in illness of Physical Education (PE) graduates who have
herniated discs, in its different degrees of involvement, in order to contribute to the
discussions in Physical Education. And, more specifically, it aimed to identify the
perception of body and body in illness of these professionals; and to describe how the PE
professional affected by herniated disk experiences his/her body, as well as the effects of
the illness on his/her working practices in Physical Education. The study shows its relevance
by proposing to deepen studies in Physical Education, expanding the understanding of the
theme body in illness and activity of the PE professional, both in terms of the ways society
approaches the phenomenon, and in terms of the construction of new dimensions for the
ways in which PEF relate to their bodies. We interviewed 06 professionals with Bachelor's,
and Technologist degrees in Sports and Leisure working in the Crajubar region, South of
Ceará-Brazil. It was identified that they present conceptions of the body both as an object
and/or instrument, and of the body as biocultural. As for the perception of the body in illness,
the participants denote a strong relation with limitation of their physical abilities and motor
skills, as well as relate this process to aging. This fact made them feel the need to develop
self-care techniques to help overcome the process. Along with self-care, measures were
adopted such as avoiding painful body practices; changes in routine, in personal and
professional life; and body and pedagogical rearrangement as ways to control the pain and
the effects of the hernia in their personal and professional lives. However, it highlights the
importance of perception, intersubjectivity, and self-care as indispensable aspects to deal
with the pain of living with an incapacitating disease and with the ways to rebuild the
professional path and the life of those who get sick. From these reflections, new horizons
are opened to perceive the body, the movement, and the illness as capable of propelling
professionals to be re-enchanted with the world, with PE, and with their own bodies and the
bodies of others, facing illness and life based on an existential and expanded vision of the
self. Such reflections bring to PE contributions to perceive it beyond an area that works with
the functioning and development of the body, understanding it as a space of permanent self
elaboration through movement. |
