PHYSICAL EDUCATION, BIOMECHANICS AND HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PROMOTION OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND INTEGRAL TRAINING

Abstract

This article analyzes the interface between Physical Education, Biomechanics and Health Technologies, highlighting their contributions to the promotion of quality of life and integral formation of the individual. The objective is to understand how the integration of these areas can favor more effective and inclusive pedagogical practices, promoting health, autonomy and social engagement. The contextualization is based on the historical evolution of Physical Education and the incorporation of scientific and technological knowledge in its practice, especially from the last decades. Authors such as Amadio and Serrão (2011), Winter (2009), Hall (2016), Zatsiorsky (1998), and Ariffin, Mokmin, Hamizi (2022) are discussed. The methodology used was the bibliographic review, with analysis of academic productions and reports of practical application, including cases of rehabilitation, gamification in teaching and use of wearable sensors. The contributions of the article range from the theoretical foundation to concrete examples of application, highlighting the transformative potential of the synergy between science, technology and pedagogy. It is concluded that the union of these areas strengthens comprehensive education, inclusion and access to health, being essential to respond to contemporary challenges.
