The physical education professional has a wide range of possibilities, including the hospital context. This aspect is still little investigated, and it is not common to find physical education professionals working in this environment. The present qualitative research aimed to investigate the performance of physical education professionals working in the hospital sector in the city of Fortaleza. Mixed questionnaires were applied to five physical education professionals, of whom 4 were in the Hospital Sarah Kubistchek and 1 in the Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio. The results, analyzed using the Bardin content analysis technique, were grouped into two themes: Performance in hospital environment and Training for hospital performance. The data show that the profile of the professionals is characterized by a predominance of the masculine gender, most of them have undergraduate studies in a public institution, two of them have training in institutions in the state of Ceará, two in institutions in the state of Minas Gerais, and one in São Paulo. The training time varied between 11 and 22 years, and the time of performance in the hospital context ranged from one to 19 years. The professionals perform various physical activities as practical strategies in a hospital environment, attend different publics, from the child to the elderly, and consider that university curricula need to advance in order to favor the preparation for physical education professionals in the hospital context.
