This article presents the results of a research performed in the first volumes of the 14 Physics textbooks recommended by the Brazilian Textbook Program (PNLD) – 2015, which aimed to analyze how sports images are addressed in Mechanics concepts. Categories created by Perales and Jiménez (2002) were used as analysis criteria and allowed understanding the characteristics of the images presented in the textbooks. Therefore, the results showed that although sports images are present in these books, the adoption of methods is required so this didactic tool is used efficiently, thus promoting the construction of the knowledge intended to be taught.
