- Title
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND YOUTH IN THE FRANCO DICTATORSHIP (1937-1961).

Manrique Arribas, J. C.
- Abstract
This article analyzes the competences that different nationalist political organisations had in the field of physical activity had with regard to youth, particularly the "Delegación Nacional del Frente de Juventudes" and the "Delegación Nacional de Deportes". Through the revision of the official documentation of the era and the contribution of studies already carried out on the subject, we try to show some common aspects and friction points that existed between the two institutions. While both delegations prioritized sport and physical activity as a tool for the indoctrination and adherence to the regime, however, the "Frente de Juventudes" tried it harder. Their instructors infiltrated into the educational system and promoted after-school activities, especially school games and outdoor activities, which both attracted attention among schoolchildren during the first two decades of Franco Era.
