This paper shows how the Mexican Post-revolutionary State integrated physical education to its
nationalist policies and used it to configure gender identities. It starts by analyzing gymnastic exhibitions as rituals oriented towards the everyday formation of the post-revolutionary State
as well as a normative tool of citizen’s cultural practices
including gender activities. Given that teachers were an import factor in this process
the paper shows the conceptual representations about gender and body published in a specialized magazine of the Education Ministry. Finally
it illustrates the way in which the introduction of a physical education uniform regulated female bodies. educación fÃsica
