We use phenomenological nonlocal Lagrangians, which lead to nontrivial forms for the quark propagator, to describe the pion. We define a procedure based on previous studies on nonlocal Lagrangians for the calculation of the pion parton distributions at low Q2. The obtained parton distributions fulfill all the wishful properties. Using a convolution approach we incorporate the composite character of the constituent quarks. We evolve, using the Renormalization Group, the calculated parton distributions to the experimental scale and compare favorably with the data and draw conclusions.
