Resumo
No séc. XIX, fruto do desenvolvimento da medicina, da educação física e do higienismo, houve necessidade de estabelecer outros padrões de assunção do
corpo mais adequados à saúde e ao trabalho. Em Portugal escasseiam esses estudos.
Através da leitura de revistas de crítica social da época, sobretudo de As Farpas, pretende-se mostrar a campanha levada a cabo pela Geração de 70,
nomeadamente por Ramalho Ortigão, entusiasta da cultura inglesa, em defesa do exercício físico, a fim de evitar a acentuada «decadência da raça».
É à Inglaterra que o nosso país fica a dever os esforços para a defesa da construção de um corpo saudável. Este facto é tão evidente que, em Goa e
Macau, devido à proximidade de territórios britânicos, as escolas de ensino particular adotam o exercício físico como parte integrante do seu currículo e as
elites desses territórios consagram o sport man como o ideal do cosmopolitismo.
In the 19th century, due to the development of medicine, physical education and hygienic behaviour, there was a need to establish other standards in terms of body awareness in order to meet its most appropriate health and work challenges. In Portugal these studies are scarce. By reading magazines about the social criticism of that time, particularly As Farpas, we want to show how the campaign undertaken by the seventies generation particularly by Ramalho Ortigão, passionate about the English culture, was in defence of the physical exercise as to avoid the sharp “decay of the race ". Our country owes to England all the motivation for building a healthy body. This is so obvious that, in Goa and Macao, due to the proximity of British territories, private schools adopt exercise as part of their curriculum, and the elites of these territories see the sport man as the ideal example of cosmopolitanism.
