BODILY PRACTICES, EXPERIENCE AND VIRTUAL REALITY: introductory notes

The present essay introduces some elements for reflection regarding the relationship between three complex concepts that are in a certain way dense and paradoxical: body practices, experience and virtualization. The present text aims at discussing the relevance of these concepts in the fields of physical education and leisure, mainly, because virtualized body practices introduce new elements for discussion concerning the concept of experience. Besides they promote a change in the subjective perception on non-virtualized body practices, and in a more broaden view, about human education.
