Hälsa eller inte hälsa – är det frågan?

• Health or not – is that the question? In relation to an international debate as well as an upcoming revision of the syllabi of Physical Education in Sweden, this article discusses the question, whether physical education should consider a limited or an increased commitment towards the goals of public health and a health agenda. With a point of departure in a salutogenic approach the article hopefully adds richness to the perspective of health in physical education. In this way the article contributes to the discussion about health issues in physical education, and whether physical education can be a part of a sustainable health development.
