Abstract. This research sought to analyze the dynamics of physical education classes in the 3rd year of high school and to recognize the profile of the classes and the involvement of students, understanding the reasons that lead them to drop out. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to gather data on the participation of 517 high school students in physical education classes in the 3rd year of high school in state public schools in the interior of São Paulo. For the analysis of the information, a descriptive analysis and content analysis were used. The initial results showed that 44 % of the sample had some barrier that prevents them from taking classes. Of this percentage, 74.6 % were girls, who were the majority, and who answered open questions about non-participation. It is concluded that approximately half of the participating students, mainly girls, participate little, or do not participate in physical education classes, this result being related to the methodology and the selection of content developed by the teacher. The role of physical education classes is to serve all students, respecting their differences, stimulating their potential to contribute so that they are proactive, critical, and autonomous in relation to their health and quality of life.

Se trata de un estudio descriptivo y transversal. Se utilizó un cuestionario para recopilar datos sobre la participación de 517 estudiantes de secundaria en las clases de educación física en el tercer año de secundaria en las escuelas públicas estatales del interior de São Paulo. Para el análisis de la información se utilizó un análisis descriptivo y un análisis de contenido. Los resultados iniciales mostraron que el 44% de la muestra tiene alguna barrera que les impide tomar clases. De este porcentaje, el 74,6% son niñas, que fueron la mayoría que respondieron preguntas abiertas sobre la no participación. Se concluye que aproximadamente la mitad de los estudiantes participantes, principalmente niñas, participan poco o no participan en las clases de Educación Física, este resultado está relacionado con la metodología y la selección de contenido desarrollado por el maestro. Por lo tanto, el papel de las clases de educación física es servir a todos los estudiantes, respetando sus diferencias, estimulando su potencial de contribuir para que sean proactivos, críticos y autónomos en relación con su salud y calidad de vida.
