Published: January 2025

O estudo analisa a organização e o impacto da primeira edição dos Jogos Mundiais da Natureza, realizada de 27 de setembro a 5 de outubro de 1997, na Costa Oeste do P raná, Brasil. Busca compreender os desafios e resultados do evento, tanto do ponto de vista esportivo quanto logístico. Os Jogos reuniram 800 atletas de cinco continentes, abrangendo 11 cidades da região. A estrutura incluiu seis bases náuticas com infraestrutura para abrigar atletas e competições, além de suporte logístico e de saúde para cerca de 5.000 pessoas. Apesar do sucesso em mobilizar a região, o evento enfrentou dificuldades relacionadas ao alojamento e condições climáticas nas bases náuticas. Atividades esportivas diversificadas, como canoagem, vela, rafting e ciclismo, destacaram o potencial do cenário natural para competições. Contudo, uma análise informal com participantes revelou desconhecimento sobre os resultados gerais do evento e a colocação do Brasil, indicando falhas na divulgação de informações e na consolidação de registros históricos. Os Jogos Mundiais da Natureza foram inovadores ao utilizar o meio ambiente como cenário esportivo, mas evidenciaram a necessidade de maior planejamento e comunicação. Apesar de alguns desafios logísticos, o evento destacou o potencial esportivo e turístico da região, reforçando a importância de integrar ações sustentáveis e eficientes na organização de grandes eventos.
Ginástica: um conhecimento aplicado à educação física escolar

Published: January 2025

O estudo busca identificar e descrever a ginástica nos contextos contemporâneos, com especial atenção à sua aplicação na Educação Física escolar. Pretende-se compreender como as diferentes manifestações da ginástica podem contribuir para a formação integral do aluno no ambiente educacional. A ginástica é analisada em suas diversas manifestações, organizadas em cinco categorias: condicionamento físico, competição, fisioterápica, conscientização corporal e demonstração. Estas categorias abrangem desde atividades de caráter funcional até práticas educativas que priorizam a interação social e a formação humana. O texto enfatiza a ginástica geral, destacando sua potencialidade enquanto ferramenta educativa capaz de integrar movimentos criativos e expressivos com outros elementos da cultura corporal, como dança e folclore. Na Educação Física escolar, a ginástica deve ir além de seu caráter utilitário, promovendo valores humanos e atendendo às necessidades e interesses dos alunos. Modelos como o da Ginástica Geral do Grupo Ginástico da Unicamp são apresentados como referências que aliam capacitação e formação humana. A ginástica, quando utilizada de forma educativa, pode ser um meio eficaz para o desenvolvimento integral do aluno, promovendo a cooperação, criatividade, autoexpressão e interação social. Ao romper com a visão funcionalista, a ginástica na escola deve ser flexível, adaptável e enriquecedora, valorizando tanto a capacitação técnica quanto os valores humanos, essenciais para uma formação completa.
Composição corporal e consumo de oxigênio: um estudo de revisão
Authors: Borges Gustavo André
Published: January 2025

O estudo revisa a literatura para analisar a associação entre o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2máx) e os parâmetros da composição corporal, com foco em como esses elementos interagem no desempenho físico e na saúde cardiovascular. A composição corporal, frequentemente medida em centros de atividade física, é usualmente associada ao VO2máx como um indicador de aptidão aeróbia. Estudos analisados indicam que altos níveis de gordura corporal são inversamente proporcionais ao consumo de oxigênio, enquanto indivíduos com maior peso magro apresentam melhor desempenho aeróbio. Pesquisas iniciais, como as de Buskirk & Taylor (1957), mostram uma forte correlação entre o VO2máx e o peso corporal magro (r = 0.85), reforçando a relevância dessa métrica em avaliações de aptidão cardiorrespiratória. Estudos posteriores confirmaram essa relação, mas destacaram que o excesso de gordura corporal sozinho não influencia diretamente o desempenho aeróbio máximo, sendo mais relevante em atividades que envolvem deslocamento corporal, como corridas. Adicionalmente, diferenças significativas na relação VO2máx/composição corporal foram observadas entre gêneros e faixas etárias. A revisão conclui que, para adultos jovens e adolescentes, o peso magro é o melhor preditor de desempenho aeróbio. No entanto, em mulheres e idosos, a composição corporal apresenta especificidades que requerem investigações adicionais. A gordura corporal, quando mantida em níveis elevados por longos períodos, contribui significativamente para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares em populações mais velhas. Assim, o estudo reforça a importância de abordagens personalizadas na prescrição de exercícios.
