SUMMARY:

The body has encompassed multiple conceptions and interpretations over the centuries, ranging from anatomical and physiological perspectives to sociocultural ones. Considering the theoretical context of body studies, different theories can be used, with special emphasis on the Theory of Social Representations and the Sociocultural Theory of Body Image. Following these theories for body studies, it is necessary to focus on various audiences, especially adolescents, since during adolescence, concerning behaviors regarding the body, psychological health, and negative and positive affects are understood through sociocultural influence. Knowledge in this area can be of great relevance to Physical Education teachers, as physical activity provides individuals with experiences that help build their body image. The present investigation aimed to understand the interfaces between Social Representations of the Body and attitudes related to Body Image reported by high school students in public schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This is a qualitative research with a cross-sectional and descriptive approach. The Focus Group technique was used for data collection. Four focus groups were formed, each consisting of 8 high school students from public schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro, totaling 32 students, aged 15 to 19 years old. A Moderator's Guide was used, with a question script prepared by the researchers. This guide included questions that were analyzed using Bardin's content analysis technique. As a result, the interfaces between Social Representations of the Body and Body Image are present and relevant in the narratives of the participating students, presenting characteristics related to the problematic experiences in the school context around the body through social relationships. It is concluded that the fundamental role of the Physical Education teacher is to establish connections to these interfaces in order to propose sociopedagogical strategies focusing on the development of body image among high school students.
