This research aims to analyze the influence of the European gymnastic movement on the history of physical education in Brazil. Through a qualitative and bibliographic approach, it seeks to understand how the different European gymnastic methods (Swedish, German, and French) were introduced and adapted to the Brazilian reality, and what their impacts were on the institutionalization of physical education in the country. The analysis shows that European gymnastics played a fundamental role in the training of teachers, the creation of schools and sports associations, and the organization of events and competitions, contributing to building a sports culture and valuing the body and health in Brazilian society. However, the research also points out the challenges and tensions present in this process, such as the need to adapt gymnastic methods to the Brazilian reality and criticism regarding the rigidity and disciplinary nature of some European models.
