Abstract
We present a geometric proof of the averaging theorem for perturbed dynamical systems on a Riemannian manifold, in the case where the flow of the unperturbed vector field is periodic and the -action associated to this vector field is not necessarily trivial. We generalize the averaging procedure \cite{Arno-63,ArKN-88} defining a global averaging method based on a free coordinate approach which allow us to formulate our results on any open domain with compact closure.
