title: THE ROLE OF SPORT PARTICIPATION AND BODY MASS INDEX IN PREDICTING MOTOR COMPETENCE OF SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between Sport Participation (SP) and Motor Competence (MC) in school-age children, and to assess the mediation role of Body Mass Index (BMI) on this association. 707 children (332 boys, 375 girls) aged between 6- to 10 years participated in the study. Motor competence was determined using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2). Parents were asked about organized SP, categorized as 1) no participation, 2) partial participation and 3) consistent participation, and BMI was calculated based on the child’s height and weight. The results indicated significant differences for all MC components and total score for SP categories, all p &lt; .05, with higher results for consistent participation in sports. For BMI, significant differences occurred in all components, with the exception of fine manual control and manual coordination. Our findings showed that SP was associated with MC, and BMI was not an important factor in these relationships. However, a small mediation of BMI was found, but only for obese children. In summary, we conclude that sport participation plays a relevant role in the development of motor competence in school-age children, and that association is, in general, not mediated by weight status.

title: SARCOPENIC OBESITY NEGATIVELY AFFECTS MUSCLE STRENGTH, PHYSICAL FUNCTION AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN OBESE ELDERLY WOMEN

description: ABSTRACT We evaluated the negative effect of sarcopenic obesity (SO) on muscle strength, physical function and quality of life in obese elderly women using the appendicular lean mass (aLM) adjusted for BMI, and aLM adjusted for height and fat mass residuals approach. Participated fifty-eight obese elderly women aged 60 to 70 years separated by two groups (SO) and non-sarcopenic (NSO) in two different approaches. The prevalence of SO was also verified between methods and its effects on handgrip strength, lean body mass, chair-stand test, time-up-and-go test, six-minute-walk test, peak O2 consumption, heart rate recovery and quality of life. The SO group presented significantly lower lean body mass, lower handgrip strength, inferior scores in the functional tests, inferior aerobic fitness, an impaired heart rate recovery, and an inferior aspect of quality of life as compared with the NSO group. Furthermore, no elderly woman was classified with SO by the aLM adjusted for height and fat mass residuals method. The cutoff-point addressed by the aLM/BMI represents a tool in clinical geriatric practice to identify and prevent this obesity/muscle syndrome in elderly women.

title: EFFECTS OF KARATE-DŌ TRAINING IN OLDER ADULTS COGNITION: RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of a Karate-Dō training, Wadō-ryū style, on cognition in healthy older adults. We conducted a single-blind randomized controlled trial with 33 older adults divided into Karate Group (KG) and Control Group (CG). In the pre and post-intervention, participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, a battery of neuropsychological tests, scales of subjective cognitive complaints, depressive and anxiety symptoms. The intervention was conducted twice per week for 12 weeks (lasting 60 minutes). The CG did not perform any physical activity or cognitive stimulation during the intervention period. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferences statistics. Performance comparisons in neuropsychological tests and scales of subjective cognitive complaints, within and between groups, pre and post-intervention, was performed by Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. KG shows better results than CG in visual memory tasks, executive functions and memory complaints in post-intervention analysis. The results suggest that 3 months of Karate-Dō practice is related to a significant improvement of the cognitive functions in healthy older adults.

title: TRAINING LEVELS OF TECHNICAL-SPORTIVE ACTIONS OF 12 TO 14-YEAR-OLD TENNIS PLAYERS

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the average frequence of practice of three tennis play initiatives (Serve, Serve Return and Baseline Game) and two types of strokes (Preparation Strokes and Definition Strokes). Thus, it was used the “Inventário do Treino Técnico-Desportivo do Tenista - 12” for a sample of 37 male tennis players (“Under 14” category), competing in an international tennis event. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to compare the playing initiatives. In order to compare types of strokes, it was used a paired samplet-test. Significant differences (p&lt; 0,05) were found among the investigated playing initiatives and among the types of strokes. This result may indicate an early specialization of the technical-sportive actions among Brazilian junior tennis players.

title: SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF BACCALAUREATE STUDENTS ABOUT BEING A PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL

description: ABSTRACT The social representations that a group manifests about a particular field may serve as a clue to understanding its behavior, but as these representations vary according to the scope in which they emerge, studies are needed in different contexts. Thus, the purpose of this research was to identify and discuss the social representations that baccalaureate students in physical education associate with being a physical education professional. A total of 51 (69,87%) students participated, 18 females and 33 males, with a mean age of 25,52 years ± 4,7 from the first to the eighth period, the morning and afternoon shifts of a private institution located in the West Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The results revealed that health, training, professional values and physical activity are the associations that make up, possibly, the central nucleus of the social representations of these academics. The study concluded that the group has social representations about the professional being of physical education that disregards the humanistic dimension of the area, evidencing a hegemonic view of the biological dimension of the area.

title: POSSIBILITIES OF APPROACHING THE SCHOOL SCENARIO IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION INITIAL TEACHING TRAINING

description: ABSTRACT As set forth by Brazilian national guidelines for teacher training (Resolution CNE/CP 2/2015), teaching degree programs must include in their curricula formative activities (2,200 hours), theoretical and practical activities for in-depth knowledge of specific areas of interest for students (200 hours), supervised traineeship (400 hours) and Practice as Curricular Component - PCC (400 hours). The research objective was to analyze possibilities of approaching the school scenario in Physical Education initial training - teaching. The analysis method was qualitative and comprehended 59 subjects, 41 of which were undergraduate students, and 18 were professors, all participating by means of semi-structured interviews. Data were treated through content analysis with the aid of NVivo 10 software. Both professors and students pointed out supervised traineeship as the main activity carried out during the course for approaching the school environment. The interviews also highlighted the need for other initiatives that strengthen contact with schools throughout initial training in order to broaden the repertoire of experiences encompassing a Physical Education teacher’s routine in Basic Education, such as PCC, which can be established as a strategy to make this diversification viable.

title: ACUTE EFFECTS OF ENERGY DRINK INTAKE ON HYDRO-ELECTROLYTIC PARAMETERS DURING THE EXERCISE ON A TREADMILL

description: ABSTRACT This work compares the effects promoted by energy drinks with diferente nutricional compositions on the hydro-electrolytic balance of resistance runners. Twelve men participated in this double blinded, randomized crossover study, ingesting 3mg*Kg-1 of a conventional energy drink with caffeine or sugar-free, and a placebo 40-minutes before tests on thermoneutral environment. The duration of the session was 60 minutes with constant intensity between 65 and 75% of VO2max, followed by a sprint corresponding to 100% of VO2max until exhaustion. There were evaluated body weight (BW), absolute and relative dehydration, urine density, sweating rate and Na+, K+ and hematocrit levels. During the exercise, the participants drunk only water every 15 minutes. Changes in urine density levels were observed before and after exercise for all procedures (p &lt;0.05). There was no significant difference on the levels of Na+, K+ and hematocrit between the drinks (p&gt; 0.05), remaining within normal levels. It is concluded that different types of energy drinks do not affect the hydro-electrolytic balance of resistance runners during the exercise.

title: DIAGNOSTIC VALIDITY OF SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS MEDICINE/AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION

description: ABSTRACT The prevention of cardiovascular events is one of the main objectives of a preexercise screening questionnaire. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic validity of ACSM/AHA questionnaire (AAPQ), through the Sensitivity (Se), Specificity (Sp) and AUC (area under the curve). The study included 69 subjects (40-81 years). Comparisons between sex and age categories were performed. There was no significant difference. However, the variation in positive responses seemed to increase in percentage terms, especially after 60 years (from 78.6% to 100%). The AAPQ Se values were high (88.2%) suggesting that the majority of individuals in whom the instrument was positive showed some contraindication. However, the Sp value was only 13.5%, indicating that the questionnaire was not able to identify those with no contra indication to start an exercise program. Thus, the instrument would have a low diagnostic capacity (AUC = 0.51). The results suggest that the questionnaire presents a low capacity to identify individuals suitable for inclusion in an exercise program.
