title: EFFECT OF RESISTANCE TRAINING ON PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND FUNCTIONAL RESPIRATORY CAPACITY OF ELDERLY WOMEN

description: ABSTRACT In the aging process, additionally to other functional losses, there are reductions in physical and functional respiratory performance.It is known that resistance training (RT) is effective at developing trophism and muscle strength; however, little is known about the influence of RT on respiratory variables. To compare maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP; MEP), Axillary, Xiphoid and Abdominal ranges - AxR, XiR and AbR -, Peakflow and performance in theIncremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) of elderly women participating in an RT program with those of untrained ones. Methods: 53 women, aged 66 ± 5.2 years -28 participants of an extension project at Pará State University, with a minimum of 6 months of practice in a RT program, composing the trained group (TG), and 25 volunteers who composed the untrained group (UG). Assessments consisted of measurements of MIP, MEP, AxR, XiR, AbR, Peak Flow and performance in the ISWT. As results, significant differences were found, with better values in the TG as to all variables assessed, except for AbR. In conclusion, elderly women subjected to anRT program showed favorable and significant differences in MIP, MEP, XiR, Peakflow and ISWT compared tountrained ones.

title: COMPETITIVE BALANCE IN FOOTBALL: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN BRAZIL AND THE MAIN EUROPEAN LEAGUES (2003-2016)

description: ABSTRACT The present study compared the competitive balance (CB) of Brazilian professional football with those of Germany, Spain, France, England, Italy and Portugal first division leagues, between the period from 2003/2004 to 2016/2017. In addition, a trend line of the period and the overall effect was analysed. The CB was measured by the concentration of points by the first four teams placed in the final standings (C4ICB). Descriptive values showed that the competitions were not fully balanced (i.e. C4ICB&gt; 100). (Md= 145, 148, 148, 152 and 155, respectively, p&lt;0.05), with no differences for France (Md= 140), compared to Germany, Spain, Italy, England and Portugal (Md= 140, p&gt; 0.05). The CB trend lines for Spain, Portugal and the overall effect were significant and showed a decline in the period (p &lt;0.05). There was more stable behavior for Brazil and Italy, observing tendencies to significant models for the increments in the German and French leagues and a reduction in the CB in the English league. It is concluded that the Brazilian league was the most balanced in this period. Globally, there has been a growing inequality in these leagues, which may implicate in the success and attractiveness of the leagues in the future.

title: EF+ INTERVENTION PROJECT: PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS AND LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HEALTH

description: ABSTRACT The objective was to verify the impact of “Educação Física+: Praticando Saúde na Escola” intervention on teaching practices and health knowledge of schoolchildren from Canguçu city, southern Brazil. Fifteen schools participated in the study (group 1: schools that joined the intervention in the year of 2011; group 2: schools that joined the intervention in the year of 2012). This study was carried out by two years with 883 schoolchildren and 13 teachers. The schollchildren knowledge of health was improved in the post-intervention (p&lt;0.001), with higher scores in group 1. It was found tendency to increase the level of knowledge according to the number of lesson plans developed by teachers (p&lt;0.001). Of the teachers interviewed (n= 13), most adhered to the activities proposed (n = 8) and perceived positive changes, specially in the students, who questioned more about the subject in the classrom and bring these knowledge to their parents. Almost all teachers who adhered to the intervention did not report difficulties to develop the lessons plans (n=7). It was concluded that a short-term intervention improved the schoolchildren level of knowledge on physical activity and health and presented positive impacts on teachers professional practice.

title: PEDAGOGICAL INTERVENTIONS OF THE TEACHER IN RELATION TO PERCEIVED CONFLICTS AMONG THE STUDENTS DURING THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES

description: ABSTRACT The objective of the research was to understand the teacher perception about the relationship between conflict situations and pedagogical interventions in Physical Education (PE) classes. It is a descriptive, qualitative research that used semi-structured interviews, class diary and promoted joint reflection between three EF teachers from Elementary School II and High School and the researcher. The data of the research went through an analysis of content from predefined categories: conflict situations and actions implemented. Conflicts were classified according to Moore(1). Teachers, previously resistant to living with conflicts, began to exercise the role of mediators between the parties. These behaviors were caused by the change in the perception about how to deal with classroom conflicts, which altered their pedagogical practice by using new strategies, such as empathy based negotiation.

title: CONTINUING EDUCATION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS: PEDAGOGICAL ACTIONS BY THE REGIONAL EDUCATION BOARD OF ILHÉUS

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze pedagogical actions for school Physical Education qualification documented by the Regional Education Board [Diretoria Regional de Educação] - DIREC 06, Ilhéus (Bahia) -, from 2008 to 2011, namely pedagogical meetings, continuing education courses and school games. The descriptive study comprehended analysis of DIREC 06’ legal documents on educational and sports policies, including continuing education reports, pedagogical meetings and the School Games of Bahia’s Public Network. The documental sources were analyzed by the content analysis technique. There is evidence that pedagogical actions helped pedagogical coordinators to promote the development of the area by means of the School Games, decentralization of resources for acquisition of didactical sports material, distribution of book kits related to the field, and conduction of regular meetings. In addition to providing teachers with the opportunity to analyze their pedagogical practice, the search for new pieces of knowledge and the improvement of teaching quality enabled the perception of deficits in relation to training, to professional devaluation issues and to training needs. Teacher qualification through the actions developed comprised the expansion of theoretical repertoire, diversification of contents, as well as engagement of the state school community with sports, a representative social phenomenon in the Brazilian reality.

title: EFFECTS OF IMPLICIT, EXPLICIT AND SEQUENTIAL LEARNING IN THE ACQUISITION OF THE BASKETBALL SHOOTING SKILL IN NOVICES

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the effect of explicit and implicit learning in children, as well as a sequential application of learning modes, in the acquisition of the basketball shooting skill in an ecological setting. Participants (n=80) were novices in basketball, ages 9 to 12 years old. The experimental groups followed one of the three different methods of training, which combined technical and tactical aspects: (a) explicit, (b) implicit, or (c) sequential (implicit first and then explicit). The control group participated only in the measurements. A pre-test and a post-test measured the performance of basketball shooting skills in isolation. A transfer test in a 3-on-3 game condition was also applied. Results indicate that all intervention groups improved in a similar manner as a consequence of practice and there was no difference between the groups in the performance of the basketball shooting skill in isolation and under game condition. The sequential group obtained a performance drop similar to the explicit group in the transfer test, which may be due to the amount of explicit knowledge accumulated by them. The current findings indicate similar effects of implicit and explicit motor learning when they are applied in complex environments with children.

title: MORPHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF ATHLETE STARTERS AND NONSTARTERS OF FEMININE FUTSAL

description: ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to compare the morphological characteristics of female futsal athlete starters and nonstarters. The study included 115 athletes, 60 starters and 55 nonstarters, belonging to 10 teams that competed in the XX Brazilian Cup of Clubs, special division. Anthropometric measurements were obtained with the purpose of characterizing and determining body somatotype. The analyzes were performed with the aid of a commercial statistical package (SPSS version 18.0), adopting a significance level of p&lt; 0.05. The results showed that the athlete starters were older (p=0.024), had a longer practice time (p=0.019), and lower fat percentage (p=0.047) and femur diameter (p=0.048) than the nonstarters, however, the last two variables lost significance after adjustment for practice time. Nevertheless, they presented a similar somatotypological classification (mesomorph-endomorph). Considering that body composition and sports experience are attributes associated with performance, the observed differences between the athlete starters and nonstarters could contribute to the decision making of coaches in the formation of the titular team in women's futsal matches.
