Abstract

This is a qualitative study supported on Content Analysis, which seeks to determine how the curriculum of the Physical Education, Recreation and Sport department affects the creation and strengthening of healthy habits and lifestyles of students at Simon Rodriguez School in Bogotá. For this purpose, institutional documents such as the Institutional Education Project (PEI), the curriculum of the Physical Education, Recreation and Sport area, the project about the Proper Use of Free Time and the Sexuality and Affectivity project were taken into account as well as the guidelines given by SED for the Physical Education, Recreation and Sport area. After relating the information found by matrices, the institutional support was evident and represented by actions and strategies to strengthen the objectives, the justification and the projection toward the community which were stated in the curriculum of the Physical Education Recreation and Sports area regarding the health issue. Conclusions highlight the need to adopt prevention intervention models from education making compulsory the presence of physical education graduates in primary schools. It is also necessary to develop the cross-sectional component of health promotion in the curriculum of educational institutions and particularly, in the curriculum of the Physical Education area which must implement more and better strategies of appropriation of healthy habits and lifestyles on students
