This paper analyses the body policies produced and transmitted from the physical culture and sports in Argentina during the period called the ‘infamous decade’ (1930–1943). In general terms, this period was characterised by fraud, electoral prescription, violence, mobilisations, strikes, and coercion and intimidation against the political opposition. This paper analyses two aspects of the elite’s attempts to bring under control some of the modernist dynamics installed during the decade. The first part explores the role of eugenics in the scientific study of sport and the debate on female athleticism. The second examines the reform of physical education introduced by the filo-Fascist Governor, Manuel Fresco, in the schools of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina’s richest and most populated electoral district.
