Abstract

This article aims to identify the perception of physical education students on vulnerabilities, intolerance and power relations in sports based on the motion picture Concussion . This is a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Ten undergraduate and graduate students from Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina answered an online questionnaire about the movie. Data was examined by content analysis. With a sports-related thematic, the selected movie proved effective for teaching bioethical topics such as types of vulnerability, power relations and ethical conflicts, which may arise from professional practice in the field of physical education. The teaching-learning method motivated students to reflect on the controversial topics and situations presented in the movie.
