<![CDATA[This paper explores the role of law in the Physical Educaton, Sports, and Health (PE) curriculum, identifying the legal implications related to its development. The research focuses on the PE curriculum at the elementary and secondary education levels. It aims to analyze relevant legal aspects in the development of the PE curriculum, as well as to evaluate the compatibility of the curriculum with applicable legal principles. A qualitative approach is used to evaluate official documents related to the PE curriculum and to analyze relevant legal literature. The analysis indicates that the PE curriculum tends to overlook important legal aspects such as students’ rights and obligations, teachers’ responsibilities, and the protection of students’ safety and health. From this research, it is concluded that there is a need for greater attention to legal aspects in the development of the PE curriculum, by strengthening the legal framework governing key aspects such as safety, human rights, and institutional responsibilities in education.]]>
