Summary: The aim of this thesis was to understand the profile of science practiced in scientific periodism that appears as a range of options in Brazilian Physical Education, comparing the characteristics of scientific practices inherent to the Biodynamic Subareas of Movement and the Sociocultural and Pedagogical of this field. With quali-quantitative and bibliometric and historiographic characteristics, the study was divided into five chapters, in which sources and methodologies of diverse natures were privileged in order to grasp the epistemological multiplicity of the field in order to elaborate parameters that allowed the comparison between scientific practices of the two subareas. Thus, the sources were: documents produced by distinct groups linked to the two subareas of Physical Education, here called “Letters”, as well as the documents of, analyzed from the principle of “comparison and contradiction” (BLOCH, 2001); the texts present in the “focus and scope” of a sample of 143 scientific journals used by research productivity fellows submitted to the Iramuteq software and investigated on the rigor of the “indiciary paradigm” (GINZBURG, 1988), seeking to understand the impact of the epistemological adherence criteria adopted in the evaluation of scientific journals; It makes use of a sample of 600 articles published in the most relevant scientific journals of Brazilian Physical Education in which the authorship, the territorial origin, the profile of the journals in which they were published, the internationalization movement, the cited references (and indicators of average life and obsolescence), and the networks of scientific collaboration formed by the researchers of the two subareas. The thesis focuses on the existing tensions in the field of Physical Education, bringing to light the speculative aspects of the criticisms made by the groups that dispute the scientific hegemony. Thus, the study concludes by demonstrating the similarities between the Biodynamic Subareas of Movement and Sociocultural and Pedagogical, emphasizing the relevance of the exercise of empirically grounded criticism that help in the construction of a more equitable and democratic scientific policy for Physical Education.
