title: Reasons to work out at female-only fitness clubs

description: This research aims to analize the speech contents of women who work out at female-only fitness clubs, on the grounds of such a practice, with the focus directed to the relationships established between the reasons for this practice and sexual binarism. This is a qualitative study. Based on a semistructured survey, twenty three women attending three female-only fitness clubs located in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, were interviewed. We have concluded that respondents' motivation to work out at female-only fitness clubs was demonstrated to be primarily anchored in the relationship they have, directly or indirectly, with the man at home (boyfriends, husbands) and / or in the social scenery. When compared to mixed gyms, those exclusively for women emerge as a space which can provide women greater freedom to: express their own body dissatisfaction and watch another woman without giving rise to feelings of competitiveness, as usually happens in environments with men around. They also present themselves less subjected to body patterns regarding dress and / or makeup, which are considered to be more beautiful or elaborate, even if by they themselves. Also noteworthy is the possibility that in female-only fitness clubs, women are more focused on the physical drilling, since they feel more at ease, thereby focusing more on the exercises and performing movements / exercises without the constraints caused by men's invasive glances.

title: Use of statistics in Physical Education: analysis of national publications between 2009 and 2011

description: The purpose of the present study was to verify the pattern of use of statistics in scientific articles published in national journals of the Physical Education area. Thus, all articles published in the 2009-2011triennium of the Physical Education journals stratified at B2 or higher in the current QUALIS CAPES (Field 21) were analyzed. The bibliographic search found 872 articles in the five journals selected, which were classified into no statistics, descriptive statistics and analytical statistics. For the analysis, descriptive statistics was performed and the 95% confidence interval to compare the difference between the proportions and, when necessary, the chi-square test and Logistic Regression. There was a lower proportion of articles with descriptive analysis (7.1%, 95%CI=5.4%-8.8%) compared with those with no statistics (46.3%, 95%CI=42.9%-49.6%) and analytical statistics (46.6%, 95%CI=43.2%-49.9%). The pattern of use of statistical procedures ranged among the five scientific journals and across fields of concentration (Health, Sport, Leisure, Education and Others). The proportion of articles which did not meet the basic assumptions for the use of parametric test was 43.3%. This proportion was not significantly different over the three years analyzed, first and last authors' region of affiliation of or for the first and last authors' degree. The present study points out a worrying scenario regarding the use of statistics in the area of Physical Education, because besides the high amount of work which do not follow the basic assumptions for statistical use , this situation seems to be common regardless of authors' degree, region of affiliation or journal of publication.

title: Sport Science in Brazil: considerations regarding research development, current scenario, and new perspectives

description: Brazil has recently hosted one of the most important sports events in the world, the 2014 Soccer World Cup, and in a near future will host the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. These events may be considered as a great opportunity to develop Sport Science in Brazil. Sport Science can be defined by a scientific process used to guide the practice of sport with the ultimate aim of improving sporting performance. However, despite this goal, the general consensus is that Sport Science research is not currently informing/guiding sport practice. This essay revisits the model for developing Sports Science proposed earlier by Bishop1, discusses the Sport Science scenario in Brazil, and also pointed out the future perspectives. The directions from the revisited model in conjunction with the discussions undertaken in this essay may aid a sport scientist to develop applied studies which results might be adopted to guide sport practice and maximize performance.

title: The influence of contextual variables on the team's performance in the last 10 minutes of the handball match

description: The purpose of this study was to verify the association of different performance indicators, registered in the last ten minutes of handball game, with the match outcome according to quality of opposition, game location, and match equilibrium. The sample consisted of 1551 offensive processes and 1549 defensive processes recorded in 150 ten-minute periods from 75 matches played by nine teams from the Portuguese Handball Men League in the 2008/2009 season. The observational system included eight performance variables (numerical relationship, game phase, substitutions, offensive actions, defensive actions, personal punishments, result of ball possession and match outcome) and three contextual variables (game location, quality of opposition and match equilibrium). The relationship between performance and contextual variables has been analyzed using log-linear models and chi-square test.The results suggest that the indicators associated with the match outcome are: the goalkeeper efficacy, the shot efficacy, the defense-attack substitutions and total of fast breaks. The match equilibrium was significantly related to the number of substitutions, defensive fouls, offensive errors and the efficacy of long-distance throws.

title: Strength training decreases the depressive symptoms and improves the health-related quality of life in older women

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of strength training, based on the perceived effort, on depressive symptoms and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of elderly women. Twenty four older women (65.6 ± 4.5 years), performed training exercise two times per week during 12 weeks. The intensity was prescribed using the BORG perceived effort scale. The Geriatric Depression Scale (EDG) was used to evaluate the depressive symptoms intensity. The HRQoL, was evaluated thought the Short Form-36 (SF-36). A significant decrease of depressive symptoms was found. The HRQoL improved in some, but not all subscales. Improvements were found at functional capacity, general heath, vitality and mental health subscales. The strength training, based on perceived effort, was an effective method to decrease the depressive symptoms and improve HRQoL on the functional capacity, general heath, vitality and mental health subscales of SF-36 on older women.

title: Sleep in elite athletes in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil

description: This study aimed to investigate some questions about sleep, health and training of elite athletes from the State of Santa Catarina. A sample was constituted of 452 athletes of collective and individual sports who responded to a questionnaire with questions about sleep (duration and quality, nightmares and worsening of sleep before the competition) on their health perception. Furthermore, it was investigated if the athletes received, during their trainings, recommendations regarding their sleep. 48.5% of athletes presented low sleep duration (&lt; 8h). Those who received instructions about the sleep in training presented higher sleep duration (p &lt; 0.001) and higher sleep quality (p = 0.045). Athletes that didn't have instructions about sleep presented 1.35 times (CI95% 1.02-1.78) more prevalence of low sleep duration. Furthermore, most athletes reported that their sleep gets worse on the eve of competitions and important games. A good sleep quality was associated with positive health perception, and those athletes who received instructions about their sleep during their trainings presented higher duration and better sleep quality. It is recommended that instructions about sleep become part of training routines of Brazilian athletes, well as investigate which information and strategies are more effective to improve the sleep of athletes.

title: Creation and changes in the structure of the Ministry of Sport in Brazil: tensions in space definitions

description: This article attempts to revive the process of creating the Ministry of Sport in Brazil and discuss some aspects of conflicting politics of scale present in this policy cycle, which may be related to the reformulation effected by the recent Decree n. 7.529/2011. For this, we use the semi-structured interviews with manager agents of the Ministry of Sport. We argue in particular that the creation of the National Department of Sport, Education, Leisure and Social Inclusion is late reflection of some tensions involving agents from two different parties who have been since 2003 (year of creation of the Ministry) involved in the administration of the Ministry of Sports.

title: Analysis of the opportunities of motor stimulation in home environment in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul

description: This study aimed to analyze the quality of home environments in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul to the occurrence of motor stimulation opportunities. Participants were 410 children aged between 18 and 42 months. For the assessment of home environments we used the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development Self-Report - (AHEMD-SR). This instrument addresses the quality and quantity of factors of home environment that can enhance children's motor development. Descriptive analysis, t tests for independent samples and ANOVA were used to compare means. Data analysis showed that households with lower wages (p = 0.00) and whose parents have lower education (p = 0.00), have home environments that provide fewer opportunities for motor stimulation to children. The results were less satisfactory in relation to the provision of materials that encourage and stimulate children's motor development, on the external space of the residences (between 64,4% and 65,1% is classified as a very poor). It is concluded that there is a shortage in supply of materials that promote the stimulation of motor development in children, in most residences evaluated. The study provides strong evidence that these restrictions result from low socioeconomic and educational level of the families surveyed.
