Subsequently, and using a critical reflection approach in the context of climate change and environmental crisis, the Eco-motricity proposal is presented, which represent an epistemic turn into the discipline and, in consequence, a didactic which consider the construction of a new ethic and relationships among individuals. Finally, challenges, new pathways and questions in the physical education research and the practices in the school are proposed.
