The objective of this article is to analyze the use of differentiated spaces for practicing physical exercises between 1929 and 1946, by the Department of Physical Culture, by male students from the Colegio Nacional and female students from the Colegio Secundario de Señoritas, both high schools part of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. From a qualitative methodology, a case study is carried out using various sources. It is found that men occupied large, open spaces in the natural environment, with good building conditions, while women did so in small, closed spaces, inside the school, with building problems. We conclude that differentiated spaces contributed to linking women to the private sphere and to passive activities, establishing macropolitical aims linked to being a mother, and relating men to the public space; thus, to activities that implied greater activity, responsibility and autonomy. The space was part of a curriculum that sexualized and gendered, establishing unequal moral and kinetic universes.
