title: COMPARISON OF THE MOTIVATION LEVEL OF SOCCER PLAYERS WITH HIGH AND LOW PLAYED TIME IN MATCHES UNDER-20

description: ABSTRACT An athlete’s motivation is deemed one of the most important elements to achieve success in sports career. The aim of this study was to compare the motivation level of football athletes with long playtime (LPT) and short playtime (SPT) in a competition. The study assessed 112 federated athletes (18.58±1.06 years old) participating in Minas Gerais’s Under-20 Football Championship (2015), by means of the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS). The athletes’ playtime (PT) in the championship’s qualifying rounds was registered through the analysis of 48 official referee report forms. The athletes were grouped according to their PT - SPT ≤25% (≤184 minutes) and LPT ≥75% (≥513 minutes). Results showed that those with LPT presented higher levels of self-determination and higher scores of intrinsic motivation compared to SPT athletes (p&lt;0.05), and SPT athletes seemed less motivated in said competition (p&lt;0.05). In conclusion, LPT athletes in official matches scored higher in self-determination and intrinsic motivation levels. On the other hand, those with SPT in official games showed higher demotivation compared to the former.

title: ACTIVE COMMUTING TO SCHOOL AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG ADOLESCENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

description: ABSTRACT Physical inactivity, considered a worldwide public health problem, has become a common behavior among adolescents. This systematic review aimed to examine the scientific evidence analyzing commuting to school in adolescents and its association with sociodemographic factors, body composition, physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness. Articles were selected through the literature available in electronic databases (Medline, Cinahl and Web of Science). Twenty three observational studies, with samples composed of adolescents (10-19 years), all published in english language, from 2003 to 2014, were included. The majority of investigations had as main focus the active commuting and the highest prevalence of this outcome were found among boys, younger adolescents, those from lower income families and whose mothers had lower educational level. Adolescents with a healthier body composition and those with higher levels of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness were the most active in commuting from home to school. Despite the association between active commuting to school and better health conditions, it is necessary to encourage it among adolescents of better economic conditions, females and the older ones.

title: PRE-COMPETITION PHYSICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL STATES OF TAEKWONDO ATHLETES

description: ABSTRACT Combined analysis of pre-competition physical, physiological and psychosocial features in taekwondo has not been performed. Therefore, this study examined the pre-competition physical, physiological and psychosocial states of taekwondo athletes participating in the Brazilian Taekwondo Championship. In a pre-experimental study, five athletes of the men’s Paraíba taekwondo team (26±8 years old; 1.76±0.04 m) underwent anthropometric assessments, measurement of markers of muscle damage, systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, and evaluation of mood and recovery-stress states and of explosive power of lower limbs at two time points: 30 (pre) and 2 (post) days before the Brazilian Championship. Data were analyzed by the Wilcoxon test (95% confidence). The percent difference (Δ) between time points and Cohen’s effect size (d) were calculated. Percent effects were observed on muscle damage (Δ= −25.7% in CK, d= 1.1) and antioxidant activity (Δ= 22.7% in MDA, d = 2.56). Conflicts/Pressure and Depression states increased by 40% (d= 1.11) and 100% (d= 1.30), respectively, while lower limb explosive power increased by 9.05% (d= 4.24). We conclude that athletes exhibited increased Conflict/Pressure and Depression states, but improved the explosive power of lower limbs and maintained the physiological state expected for competition.

title: FAMILY INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROCESS OF WOMEN’S BASKETBALL SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

description: ABSTRACT The development of a sports career is influenced by personal factors such as motivation and goals in sport, as well as by contextual factors such as training and competition requirements, follow-ups and incentives from managers, coaches, colleagues and family members. In considering, in particular, the relevance and influence of the family in the competitive sports scenario of young athletes, this study had the objective of analyze the involvement of family members in the process of sports development of 31 women's basketball athletes belonging to a sports club in the state of Santa Catarina/Brazil. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with athletes, sports managers, and sports coaches, which were analyzed by content analysis technique in NVivo software (version 9.2). Most family members of the athletes practiced or is still practicing sports, especially basketball. There was predominance of family members’ moderate involvement in the young athletes’ sports career, which is embodied by the presence in the competitions and by providing informational, emotional, and concrete support. Moreover, there were found positive behaviors of family members regarding to the athletes’ performance requirements in basketball practice.

title: CONCERNS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS ACCORDING TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CYCLES AND SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze concerns of teachers according to professional development cycles and sociodemographic variables. The sample was composed of 92 permanent Physical Education teachers from municipal and state networks of Maringá city (Paraná). For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Teacher Concerns Scale were used. For data analysis, Anova for independent samples and the t-test for repeated measures were employed. Results showed smaller concern as to the self dimension compared to the task and task impact dimensions. Moreover, teachers in the renewal cycle were more concerned with the task dimension than those in the consolidation cycle. Assessing sociodemographic variables, teachers working for the state network and female teachers showed a higher index of concern with the “task” dimension, while teachers working at only one school showed greater concern with the self dimension. It is concluded that the concerns present similar behavior with career advancement and that sociodemographic variables have a low impact on teacher concern level.

title: THE VIRTUALIZED BODY IN TECHNOLOGICAL RELATIONS WITH SPORTS IN VIDEO GAMES AND INFORMATIONAL MEDIA

description: ABSTRACT The sport and body representation in video games and sports telespectacles promotes reinterpretation of the body culture of movement. Given this scenario, the objective of this study was to identify and to analyze the media consumption related to sports virtualization and its subjective influence on body shaping. This was a descriptive, qualitative field study conducted on 50 students in the youth age range of 15-24 years from public high schools and college courses of the University of Pernambuco (UPE), Recife, PE, Brazil. The assessment was made using content analysis. The results indicate that the media sports virtualization is marked by spectacularized reproduction. This virtualization leads to the understanding of a multifaceted constitution of the body both in telespectacular sports and in body and/or virtual practice.

title: STUDY OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONALITY OF THE MABC-2 (7 TO 10 YEARS OLD) IN CHILDREN FROM THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF RECIFE-PE

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the multidimensionality of the MABC-2 (7 to 10 years old) in children from Recife (PE). A total of 123 children (7 to 10 years old) from the metropolitan region of Recife (PE) were assessed, including 64 boys and 59 girls. The data were tested for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the adequacy of factor analysis (FA) was evaluated using the KMO measure of sampling adequacy, Bartlett’s sphericity test and individual measures of sampling adequacy (MSA). The main extraction method was principal axis factoring (varimax rotation). The number of factors was determined by parallel analysis (Monte Carlo simulation). The subtests showed low correlations between each other, with unsatisfactory individual measures in two of the subtests. Parallel analysis identified two factors that diverged from the MABC-2 grouping and subtests without significant loadings within factors. The exclusion of three subtests resulted in a better adjusted model. Although multidimensionality was confirmed, the structure diverged from that proposed by the authors, with problems in the correlation of the variables, in the number of factors extracted, and in the grouping of subtests. The exclusion of three subtests (MD3, AC2, and B3) resulted in a better fit of the model.

title: ANALYSIS OF NETWORK PROPERTIES AND TACTICAL BEHAVIOR OF U-17 SOCCER ATHLETES WITH DIFFERENT TACTICAL SKILLS

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed compare individual tactical behavior and network properties of players with higher and lower tactical skills during soccer small-sided games. The sample was composed of 18 U-17 elite soccer players (16.2 years old) from the same national level team. Players were divided into group 1 and group 2, with higher and lower tactical skill, respectively, measured by the FUT-SAT. After this, they played 12 small-sided games in a 36x27m field with all rules of the formal game. Players’ tactical behavior was assessed through the incidence of fundamental tactical principles during the SSG. Total links, density and clustering coefficient were defined as the general network metrics. Data were analyzed through independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test. Results showed that group 1 presented higher values of total links (p=0.007) and density (p=0.007). Group 1 also presented a higher incidence of defensive unity (p=0.001), while group 2 realized more actions of defensive balance (p=0.008) and recovery balance (p=0.038). We conclude that tactical skills are able to constraint individual team behavior in small-sided games.

title: PREVALENCE OF AND FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO CONSUMPTION AMONG PHYSICAL EDUCATION UNDERGRADUATES

description: ABSTRACT We assessed the prevalence of and factors associated with alcohol consumption and smoking among Physical Education undergraduates of the city of Brasília, Brazil. This epidemiological, cross-sectional study was conducted with 903 second-semester students during the academic year of 2016. We used a self-administered questionnaire on health-related life habits. Of the 903 participants, 57.4 % were female and 42.6% were male; mean age was 24.4±5.0 years. Sixty-eight point eight percent of students consumed alcohol, 37.3% of them at least once per month, with no differences between sexes (p=0.435). Ninety-two point seven percent of females and 91.7% of males reported that the habit of consuming alcohol had been acquired before entering university. Twenty-nine point one percent of participants reported being smokers, of which 7.0% only smoked at parties or on weekends. There was a higher prevalence of alcohol consumption (69.8%) and smoking (31.2%) among students who lived with their parents or relatives. Based on our findings, we propose that the dissemination of information on the harmful effects of excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking may contribute to the prevention of health and social damages caused by these habits.
