摘要：This paper analyzes the main corporal and physical education discourses present in Jess T. Hopkins, physical education professor at Springfield College of the YMCA of North America; first Technical Director of the National Commission of Physical Education (CNEF) of Uruguay between 1912 and 1920, and in charge of the first intensive physical training education professors. Among the main findings, it is evident the influence of the YMCA in the gestational process of the CNEF in Uruguay. The physical education professor as a doctor assistant performed two kind of interventions: normación and normalización. The first one refers to individual body, machine; discipline applied on it as long as anatomo-politics of the body. The second one implies the body concept as specie and the population control (Foucault, 1976). Jess Hopkins showed a Darwin’s evolution interpretation with a tendency of degeneration (Vigarello, 2005).
