As influências de religiões cristãs sobre a prática de manifestações da cultura corporal de movimento

Abstract

The theme that relates physics activity and religion has been little explored. Aiming to get a better understanding of the relationship between religion and bodily practices we conducted the following research having as main foundation Clifford Geertz, an anthropologist U.S. In order to investigate the influence that the Christian religions, Catholic Charismatic Renewal and Christian Congregation of Brazil, have on the practice of cultural manifestations of body movement by its supporters in Fortaleza were conducted semi-structured interviews conducted between believers and members of religions, and the data analysis performed with reference Minayo. We also determine whether the research intentions Christian religions, Catholic Charismatic Renewal and Christian Congregation of Brazil, restrict the practice of cultural manifestations of body movement like yoga, capoeira, bodybuilding and fitness gym. Identify the reasons why the adherents of the Christian religions do not adhere to the practice of corporal manifestations of culture and how they take care of themselves and their bodies and highlight how Christians see the practice of such activities and the reasons that lead to the accession these practices (health, beauty, sports performance, etc.). In conclusion, we believe that there are restrictions imposed directly or indirectly by the religions studied in relation to the practice of some physical activities such as gymnastics gym, yoga and Capoeira. Mostly regarding yoga and Capoeira, since they bring aspects of non-Christian cultures and realize there is a certain prejudice attached to such practices. Regarding the fitness gym, there are restrictions as clothing, the intentions of the practice and there is a whole behavioral caution in respect of the faithful to this practice, which possibly hinders its accession as a practice of body culture.
