  • Health-related physical fitness is associated with selected sociodemographic and behavioral factors in brazilian school children
    Publication . Guedes, Dartagnam Pinto; Neto, Jaime Tolentino Miranda; Lopes, Vitor P.; Silva, A.J.
    This study investigated the association between sociodemographic and behavioral factors and health standards based on physical fitness component scores in a sample of Brazilian schoolchildren. Methods: A sample of 1457 girls and 1392 boys aged 6 to 18 years performed a test battery of 5 items: 1) sit-and-reach, 2) curl-up, 3) trunk-lift, 4) push-up, and 5) progressive endurance run (PACER). The cut-off scores for gender and age suggested by the FitnessGram were adopted. Results: The findings showed that the sociodemographic and behavioral factors significantly associated with the ability of schoolchildren of meeting the health standards varied according to the fitness test. In the 5 tests used girls presented lower chance of meeting the health standards. Age and socioeconomic class were negatively associated with the performance in all physical tests. Schoolchildren aged ≤ 9 years or from families of lowest socioeconomic class presented approximately twice the chance of meeting the health standards than those aged ≥ 15 years and from more privileged families, specifically in the push-up (OR = 2.40; 95% CI 2.01–2.82) and PACER (OR = 2.18; 95% CI 1.84–2.54) tests. Conclusions: Interventions to promote health-related physical fitness should not only consider gender and age of schoolchildren, but also selected sociodemographic and behavioral factors, especially socioeconomic class and leisure activities.

  • As técnicas simultâneas em natação pura desportiva
    Publication . Louro, Hugo; Garrido, Nuno D.; Ferraz, Paula Cristina; Marinho, D.A.; Conceição, Ana T.; Neto, Jaime Tolentino Miranda; Tolentino, Thatiana Maia; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Silva, A.J.
    O ensino das técnicas de nado constitui uma etapa fundamental na formação das competências do nadador. Assim, ensinar e aperfeiçoar as técnicas de nado são actos pedagógicos que devem sempre orientar-se para a preparação do quadro de competências específicas do nadador. Importa, neste contexto, referir que a aprendizagem técnica, forma particular da aprendizagem motora, constitui uma complexa actividade neuro-motora que envolve a totalidade do sujeito num conjunto de relações circulares de assimilação-acomodação mediante as tensões do envolvimento e ulteriores adaptações consubstanciadas em níveis organizacionais de complexidade crescente, e por isso, também de competência motora crescente. Neste âmbito, desempenha um papel fundamental a hierarquização destas tensões, ou estímulos, a que são submetidos os sujeitos da aprendizagem.
