RESUMEN
Resumen El siguiente texto busca presentar y contextualizar la fuente "Aspectos de la educación física", de Luis Bisquertt, poniendo énfasis en la búsqueda del mejoramiento racial en Chile de 1930, a partir de la educación física eugénica, cuyo paradigma corporal serían las estatuas clásicas helénicas. Uno de los conceptos centrales de este documento es el de belleza plástica, cuyo sentido se encuentra totalmente imbricado a la idea de normalidad y sanidad, patologizando aquellos cuerpos que no se enmarquen en el canon atlético, situación extendida por las características sedentarias de la modernidad.
