Objective: To analyze the current curriculum problematics in P.E across Latin America. Methodology: A systematic review of different peer-reviewed articles was made, articles that evaluated curriculum design and their problematics within different countries, articles published from 2013 to the present. Research engines used, were data bases such as "Scielo", "Scopus", "Web of Science,” "Redalyc" and Google scholar, using the descriptors, Curriculum, Physical Education, and Latin America. Article languages that were selected, were Portuguese, English and Spanish. Results: From a total of 35 articles, only 6 were selected according to descriptors such as Curriculum, Physical Education, Latin America.
