The results point to a satisfaction of teachers with regard to the development of training activities proposed. Among the difficulties presented by the teachers during the meetings highlighted the lack of equipment and physical infrastructure in some schools, the lack of interest of students in classes, the absence of an annual curriculum planning to be followed, and the difficulty in working some specific content such as dance, sports adventures, wrestling and capoeira. About their training needs teachers pointed to the importance of developing training sessions on more specific knowledge of Physical Education and connected to their reality with studies of its practices, difficulties and planning.
