This article aims to explore the existing differences between physical education and top-level sport. Apart from the purely theoretical interest of this analysis, the incentive was mainly to find those differences which affect and differentiate teaching practices between physical education and top-level sport. I hold the view that physical education teachers, influenced by top-level sport practices, adopt those practices in some cases in their physical education lessons in their schools. This article might help them to define more clearly the boundaries between those two areas.
