title: PARLIAMENTARIANS OF PARANÁ AND THE ALLOCATION OF BUDGETARY AMENDMENTS IN SPORT

description: ABSTRACT Studies point to the existence of a strong influence of the parliamentary amendments in the constitution of the public budget for sport. Aims to investigate the allocation of individual amendments of the representatives of Paraná in the sport in the General Budget of the Union from 2004 to 2015. As specific objectives, it aims to: (1) map the volume and percentage of the parliamentary quota destined to sport; and (2) to identify the nature of sports activities privileged by the parliamentarians of Paraná. This quantitative and exploratory study was based on the SIGA Brasil portal. In this system, we collected the data related to the amendments in the process of elaborating the Budget Laws from 2004 to 2015 that had the Ministry of Sport as budget unit and that were allocated in the function "Sport and Leisure". We conclude that parliamentarians from Paraná allocated R$ 378.5 million through 456 individual amendments, which represented 7.6% of the quota available in the period. Of the total of 61 parliamentarians, 14 directed investments to the sport during their entire mandate and 2 chose not to allocate resources in the sector. The resources were allocated primarily to infrastructure actions (R$ 370.8 million - 98%), followed by sports activities (R$ 6.6 million - 1.7%) and promotion of sporting events (R$ 1 thousand - 0.3%)

title: Dental students’ reports of occupational exposures to potentially infectious biological material in a Brazilian School of Dentistry

description: Abstract Introduction Occupational exposures to contaminated biological material in dental teaching settings can place students at higher risk of bloodborne infections. Methods This cross sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire culturally adapted to Portuguese language, Brazil. In total, 173 undergraduate dental students agreed to participate in the study, answered the questionnaire, and filled in the details about their own occupational exposures. The association of these factors was analyzed by the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test using Stata® software. Results High prevalence of occupational exposures (40%) was observed among the participants, and 52% of the accidents were not reported to the clinical instructor. The most frequent type of accident was related to “puncture/cut/abrasion” (56%). Significant correlation was observed between number of exposures and academic year (p=0.002), age (p=0.012), gender (p=0.010), and between number of injuries in the last 6 months and academic year (p=0.003). No significant correlation was observed between number of exposures and dominant hand, use of protective eyewear or Hepatitis B vaccination status (p&gt;0.05). Conclusion Additional teaching strategies need to be developed to motivate adherence to occupational post-exposure protocols regarding biological material, improving the notification of the occupational exposures that occur among dental students.

title: RELATIONSHIP OF HANDGRIP STRENGTH TO MOTOR COMPETENCE AND WRITING QUALITY OF CHILDREN IN THE WRITING LEARNING PROCESS

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze whether motor competence (MC) and writing quality (WQ) may differ between children of both sexes, with different strength levels and who are in the learning process of writing. Sixty-one students from 05 to 07 years old enrolled in the first school year participated in the study. To measure handgrip strength (HS) a hand dynamometer was used and to assess the MC the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Test, Second Edition BOT-2 was used for Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Manual dexterity and Bilateral Coordination. The assessment of WQ was performed by the teachers. One-way ANOVA was used to compare MC and WQ according to HS, while two-way ANOVA was used to compare MC and WQ according to HS and gender. Overall, the HS was higher (p &lt;0.05) in both hands of boys (right = 8.1 ± 1.0kg; left = 7.8 ± 1.3kg) compared to girls (right = 6.8 ± 0.9kg; left = 6.6 ± 1.3kg). When separated into thirds of HS levels, regardless of gender, MC was higher in children of higher strength. When divided by the median strength and based on gender, the highest strength boys (above the median) were superior to the lower strength boys (p &lt;0.01) and that the girls, regardless of the strength level (p &lt; 0.05). No effects were found on WQ. The results suggest that in children learning to write, HS seems to impact MC, favoring boys with highest strength, but WQ does not seem to be influenced by force, regardless of gender.

title: PHYSICAL EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS ATTENDED BY PRIMARY HEALTH CARE: ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES AND HEALTHCARE EXPENDITURE

description: ABSTRACT Little is known about the possible impact of the implementation of regular physical exercise programs on body adiposity and health expenditures of patients attended in Basic Health Units, so the objective of the study was to implement and verify the effect of a physical exercise program with a duration of 12 months, on obesity and the public health expenditure of these patients. The sample was composed of 25 adults, aged ≥50 years, hypertensive and insufficiently active. Prior to beginning the training, at six months, and at the end of training, body composition, blood pressure, and health expenditure analysis were performed. The training was carried out three times a week with a 60-minute duration. For the intervention factor there was a statistically significant difference between the groups only for the waist circumference variable (p-value = 0.019). For body fat values, the intervention group presented reductions throughout the follow-up, which were significant when compared to the control group. Consultation expenditures decreased over time in both groups (p = 0.026). The physical exercise program facilitated a reduction in the percentage of body fat of the patients, but health expenditures were not affected.

title: INFLUENCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON MILITARY POLICE OFFICERS’ BURNOUT

description: ABSTRACT The literature points out that cops are among professionals vulnerable to the burnout syndrome, but there are only few studies that investigate this syndrome and associate it with a coping strategy. The hypothesis of this article is that physical exercise may correlate significantly with burnout, working as a protective element. From this perspective, the present study assessed physical activity levels and the perception of burnout syndrome dimensions in a sample of military police officers in the city of Belo Horizonte. Three instruments were employed for data collection, each one with a specific objective: the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results showed a prevalence of 64% for the burnout syndrome, especially among those individuals classified with low physical education level and those who perform operational roles. It is concluded that variables referring to socio-affective aspects influence the perception of this syndrome, just as sedentarism; by means of the variables that presented statistical significance, it was possible to determine the profile of a sedentary cop vulnerable to burnout, with the finding that physical activity levels associate with burnout indicators.

title: THE INTERNAL LOGIC OF VOLLEYBALL UNDER THE LENSES OF MOTOR PRAXEOLOGY

description: ABSTRACT As one of the most practiced sports in the brazilian context, Volleyball is a dynamic practice, in which its players interact cooperatively and oppositively with the other participants. In this context, the Motor Praxeology emerged as a theory regarding games and sports that aims to unveil the internal logic of these motor practices, based on its rules. Thus, this research aimed to analyze the internal logic of Volleyball, from the CAI Classification System and the Ludomotor Universals, as well as the moments of the game and the interactions motor cooperation and/or opposition established between them, according to the Motor Praxeology. For this, a theoretical research was carried out, of character exploratory, through which it was verified that, based on the knowledge of the Motor Praxeology and its instruments of analysis, it becomes possible to unveil the internal logic of Volleyball, with the intention to understand its structure and relevant characteristics that should be contemplated throughout its teaching process. The knowledge proposed by this scientific theory gives theoretical basis to the work of the teacher or coach in the development of the knowledge related to the teaching-learning-training process of this sport modality, also assisting those who work in it (students or athletes), independently of the environment in which they are inserted.

title: DOES HABITUAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL INFLUENCE AEROBIC CAPACITY AND HEART RATE VARIABILITY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN?

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to verify whether habitual physical activity level (HPAL) influences aerobic capacity and parasympathetic activity at rest in postmenopausal women. Thirty postmenopausal women participated in the study (59.3 ± 5.3 years old; 1.58 ± 0.06 m; 64.5 ± 9.6 kg; 25.6 ± 3.1 body mass index; 27 ± 5�t). The women were divided into two groups based on the median pedometer step count of HPAL (G1 = HPAL) and submitted to the incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) and analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) at rest. Substantial differences were found between G1 and G2 for step count (p = 0.0001); effect size (ES) = 2.55), ISWT distance (p = 0.0002; ES = 2.24), root mean square of successive difference (RMSSD) (p = 0.0001; ES = 1.56), and high-frequency band (p = 0.0001; ES = 1.31). In conclusion, postmenopausal women with higher HPAL have greater aerobic capacity and parasympathetic modulation of HRV.

title: DETERMINATION OF KINETIC ASYMMETRIES IN SOCCER PLAYERS PERFORMING VERTICAL JUMP: PROPOSAL OF A NOVEL PROCEDURE TO DETERMINE IMPULSE FROM FORCE PLATE DATA

description: ABSTRACT The first purpose of this study was to compare the lower limb peak force (Fpeak) asymmetry in two different procedures, simultaneous and sequential, measured in countermovement jump (CMJ) of soccer players. Three series of six CMJ were performed on two force platforms. For the sequential procedure, the 18 CMJ were divided into two blocks of nine attempts. The average of the best three CMJ of the first block was used to determine the Fpeak of a lower limb and the average of three best CMJ of the second block was used to determinate the Fpeak of the other lower limb, and then the order was inverted. In the simultaneous procedure, the mean of Fpeak values of both lower limbs was calculated for all CMJ. The t test did not present significant differences between the procedures in Fpeak asymmetry and there was a significant positive correlation between them (r = .74). The second purpose was to verify the reliability of a new impulse determination procedure for both lower limbs in the CMJ. The partial impulse and impulse asymmetry measurements obtained in this new procedure presented excellent reliability (CCI = .765-.963). It can be concluded that since there was no significant differences between the Fpeak asymmetries values between the two procedures, and the simultaneous procedures also allows the analysis of impulse asymmetry, this procedure would have interesting applications in practical evaluations.

title: FEEDING FREQUENCY OF NILE TILAPIA FED RATIONS SUPPLEMENTED WITH AMINO ACIDS

description: ABSTRACT: The present study evaluated the feeding frequency of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed low-protein diets (29% crude protein) supplemented with commercial amino acids (L-lysine-HCl, DL-methionine, and L-threonine). Sex-reversed Nile tilapia (240) of Thai origin, with initial body weight of 0.93 ± 0.03 g each, were allocated in a completely randomized design, to five groups with various feeding frequencies (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 times a day). Six replications were conducted on separate experimental units comprising eight fishes each. The fish were maintained in 30 130-L aquariums, each equipped with individual water supply and controlled temperature and aeration. Fish were fed identical quantities among all treatments over a period of 30 days. Performance parameters, feed conversion efficiency, body composition, daily protein and fat deposition rates, and nitrogen retention efficiency were evaluated. Increased feeding frequency affected neither performance parameters nor body composition. Values for protein and fat deposition rates and nitrogen retention efficiency were significantly lower in fish fed twice daily than in those fed five times daily. Fish subjected to other feeding frequencies yielded intermediate values without any significant differences. The minimum feeding frequency of Nile tilapia fingerlings fed a low-protein ration supplemented with commercial amino acids is three times a day, owing to increased protein deposition rates and nitrogen retention efficiency.

title: BADMINTON: TEACHING POSSIBILITIES IN A CONTEXT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES AT SCHOOL

description: ABSTRACT The way of teaching sports in Physical Education at schools has been modifying over the last decades. In Brazil, this pedagogical transformation is still recent though, and researches in this area have been published from 1993 on, with the aid of traditional methods. This study aimed to demonstrate that badminton practice can be taught in different teaching methods and, furthermore, point how the proposed activities differ when it comes frequency of occurrence for each one of the methods that were applied. The sample included 48 male and female students (15.1±0.64 years old) and three professors. Students were split in three groups according the teaching methods (Analytic, TGfU, and Integrative). Seventeen sessions were performed in the practice of badminton for each one of those methods aforementioned. When it came to reliability, it showed excellent intra- and inter-assessor compliance indicators, the descriptive analysis of class categorization and the qui-squared test evinced the peculiarities of each method. Our conclusion is that the application of the aforementioned methods in a real context of teaching and learning in badminton stimulates and reinforces the ecological validity of the research, once the practice has occurred during Physical Education classe.
