      Content: By using the isoparametric function on \(S^{2m + 1}\) introduced by Cartan-Nomizu an equivariant map from \(S^{2m + 1}\) into \(S^{2m + 1}\) with respect to this isoparametric function is constructed. The harmonicity equation of this map can be solved by direct methods of the calculus of variations. In such a way it is proved that every element of odd degree of the homotopy group \(\Pi_{2m + 1}(S^{2m + 1})\) has a harmonic representative.
