    In recent years the role and importance of the Physical Education Professional (PEP) in health field has been recognized. The main reasons are the emphasis given to physical activity on prevention of the chronic non communicable diseases and the healthy promotion by public policy. The main objectives of this study are: to investigate the contribution of the PEP formation to its action on public health in Maceio; to analyze the Physical Education course curricula in Higher Education Institutions in Maceio; to investigate the PEP profile proposed by the different types of graduate curricula; analyze PEP intervention in public health, considering the discuss of these professionals. Methodology: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through documentary and field research. The documented research analyzed the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) and the curriculum matrices (CM) of undergraduate courses in Physical Education (PE) of Alagoas. The field research was carried out by semi-structured interviews with PEP. Subjects had to have been approved in the last open selection in public health area and must have worked in this area for a minimum of two years. The documented and empiric data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: The documented research allowed a better understanding of the graduate curriculum as well as the suggested profile for the PE graduated in Higher Education Institutions of Alagoas. It was observed that most documents are lined up with the National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) for the PE and Health graduation. The profile of graduated PEP, the professional competences and abilities required to act in the health field were also in line with guidelines. However, the field research data showed that the graduation curriculum on PE did not offer the necessary support for the PEP act in public health. Many challenges for the intervention in this area were identified: professionals referred difficulties in multi-professional work. They also related barriers in intersectorial action and finally they perceived their knowledge as insufficient to prescribe physical activity in a public health context. Conclusion: This study showed that even in the case the PE graduation courses curricula and PPP being lined up with the National Curriculum Guidelines (NCG) for PE and Health graduation they are not preparing PEP to act in public health. Thus, there seems to be a need for discussions about changes in PE graduation courses CM to better prepare graduation PE students to act in public health. The continued education could be the first step for those who are already in health field.
