englischThis work gathers 63 contributions, coming from some of the bestknown historians of sport. It provides a new historical glance over the representations and uses of Nature in the field of physical Education and it gives an important place to the study of the sporting practises that are developing in definite natural spaces and of the leisure equipments where Nature is staged. The development of open-air sports is apprehended in an historical point of view, as well as through the ways of practising. The communications display the political, economical, social and environmental stakes, connected with sporting tourism. They emphasize the perception of Nature conveyed amongst sportsmen. They point up their influence upon the approach to health and to the relationships between sexes, which induce the ways of training, as well as practising. Finally, they reveal the way Nature is used to train people through physical education at school, and related sport movements.
