title: The competitive motivation of youth federated squash players: an exploratory and comparative study

description: The Competitive Motivation (MC) is a fundamental personality trait in the context of sports. Recently, a new model for assessing the MC called Three-dimensional Model of Competitive Motivation Assessment (TMCMA) was proposed. This model assumes that the MC has three distinct competitive orientations: to win (OV), to perform (OP), and to obtain status (OS). The purpose of this research is to explore and compare the competitive motivational profile of 35 youth federated squash players, of both genders, and aged between 13 to 18 years old. Therefore, this sample answered to the Balbinotti's Scale of Competitive Motivation in Sport (BSCMS-18). The two main results were: 1) the orientations emerged as OP, OV, and OS, in this order, being OP and OV the only one of three analyzed pairs that is statistically non-significant; 2) the gender variable does not significantly influence the intensity of the answers in any of the three orientations tested. Further studies should explore whether the statistically non-significant mean difference found between OP and OV was influenced by the sample size.

title: Human, financial and material resources of basketball athletes in the youth academy and coaches' perception of athletes' development

description: The aim of this study was to analyze human, financial and material resources of basketball athletes in the youth academy and coaches' perception about these resources in the development of young athletes. This study sample was composed by: 47 Under-19 athletes of Minas Gerais and their respective coaches and also 47 professional athletes. The instruments used were: Questionnaire about Context of Practice for Basketball Athletes ("QCP-Basq", in Portuguese), Resources for Training Version and semi-structured interview. Based on the results it could be understood that professional athletes have trained, since their sports initiation, in institutions with more resources than in comparison with Minas Gerais Under-19 athletes. Minas Gerais coaches point out precariousness in structuring of resources during young athletes formation and emphasize that there is a difficulty in the professional teams of the state to utilize players that stand out at youth level.

title: Effect of instability of the surface in the stride length and angle of the arm of babies during the gait acquisition

description: The acquisition of independent gait was analyzed using a longitudinal study examining the effect of instability of the surface in stride length and angle of the arm of eleven babies, with mean age of 12.09 ± 0.42 months. The babies were followed for 4 months with biweekly assessments. The gait was conducted on two independent surface conditions - rigid and deforming. The stride length and angle of the arm were analyzed by Kinematics, using the program APAS. The results showed a significant effect on the factors "collections" and "surface" in stride length and significant effect on the factor "collections" in the arm angle, indicating changes in the behavior of the gait in two variables. The data indicate a developmental change incurred during the acquisition of independent gait and suggests that these changes precede the selection of a pattern or a strategy best suited to the demands of the environment.

title: Acute effects of different intensities and amounts of aerobic exercise on the concentrations of tryptophan and serotonin in physically active elderly women

description: Aging causes a decrease in the concentration of serotonin, which in turn, can produce abnormalities of behavior as aggression, insomnia, suicidal or criminal behavior and loss of sexual desire. However, studies show that aerobic exercise seems to increase acutely the concentrations of tryptophan and serotonin. Furthermore, there are no reports of studies that have investigated the effects of different intensities and volumes of aerobic exercise on the concentrations of tryptophan and serotonin in older women physically active. The aim of this study was to determine the acute effects of different intensities and volumes of aerobic exercise on the levels of tryptophan and serotonin in older women. For this, 49 older women (aged 60 to 75 years) physically active were divided into six groups: being a control group (CG, n = 8) and five experimental groups: 1) aerobic exercise performed at 90% of ventilatory threshold (VT90, n = 8); 2) intensity exercise performed at ventilatory threshold (VT, n = 8); 3) intensity exercise performed on 90% of the respiratory compensation point (RCP90, n = 8), each with lasting 20 min; 4) maximal incremental test (MIT, n = 8); and 5) exercise held in ventilatory threshold intensity with lasting 60 min (VT60min, n = 9). Before and after completion of the exercise sessions, venous blood samples were collected to quantify the levels of tryptophan and serotonin. There were no differences (p &gt; 0.05) between and within groups in the concentrations of serotonin and tryptophan. In conclusion, acute bouts of aerobic exercise performed at different intensities and volumes did not result in significant changes in the concentrations of serotonin and tryptophan in older women.

title: Blood pressure and lipid profile in young women: the role of anthropometric measurement

description: Body composition has fundamental importance in the quality of life and is a powerful predictor of mortality and morbidity in humans. The identification and monitoring of the amount of body fat have been receiving special attention in aspects related to health promotion, not just for its actions in the prevention and in the control of cardiovascular diseases but also for their induction and association with risk factors, especially in the plasmatic lipid levels and arterial pressure. It was investigated the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (�) by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with the blood pressure levels (systolic and diastolic) and serum lipids (TC, HDL-c, LDL-c, VLDL-c, TG). In a group of fifty seven women (aged 18 to 26 years old ), obesity was detected in 5 and 19 women by BMI (≥ 30 kg/m2) and � (≥ 30%), respectively. BMI and % BF were positively correlated with blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), and highly significant in the obese group by �. Moreover, BMI and % BF were significantly correlated with all lipids and lipoprotein fractions VLDL-c and triglyceride, respectively. These results suggest that � is a good indicator of “occult obesity” in subjects with normal body mass index. The associated use of BMI and � to better evaluate obesity may improve the study of blood pressure levels and serum lipid changes that are commonly associated with obesity.

title: Effects of different exercise intensities on serum interleukins levels

description: The aim of this study was to analyze the acute and short-term effects of high and low exercise intensities on IL-6 and IL-10. Fifteen young healthy physically active males (21.0 ± 1.9 yrs) were submitted to 2 experimental trials (cross-over) with a 7-dais wash-out: high exercise intensity (80% VO2peak) and low exercise intensity (40% VO2peak) session. Blood samples were collected before exercise (baseline), immediately after exercise (acute), and two hours after the end of the exercise session (2 h). IL-6 and IL-10 circulating levels were determinate by ELISA. The results demonstrated an acute increase in IL-6 levels after high intensity compared to low intensity exercise (p &lt; 0.05), however, IL-10 presented an acute decrease in response to low intensity exercise (p &lt; 0.05). No effects were observed after 2 h of recovery from the session. Thus we conclude that acute exercise sessions are able to modulate the circulating levels of the studies cytokines, and the magnitudes of these changes are dependent of the exercise intensity.

title: Positive effects of auditory cue in locomotor pattern of people with Parkinson’s disease (off and on medication)

description: Gait disorders are identified in people with Parkinson’s disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of auditory cues and medication on kinematic, kinetic and EMG parameters, during different gait phases of people with PD and healthy elderly. Thirty subjects distributed in two groups (Group 1, PD patients off and on medication; Group 2, healthy elderly) participated in this study and were instructed to walk in two experimental conditions: non-cued and cued. Therefore, kinematic, kinetic and electromyography analyses were utilized to investigate the locomotor pattern. Changes in locomotor pattern (greater muscular activity) with auditory cue were observed for PD patients. Regarding the medication, locomotor parameter improvement was observed after levodopa intake in association with the auditory cue. These results confirm the hypothesis about the external cues therapy that could be used as a complement to drug therapy to achieve improvement in the locomotor pattern of PD patients.

title: Work and health of the physical educator in gym: a contradiction at the heart of the profession

description: Sport and physical activity in Brazil are expanding in number of participants and diversification of activities. This expansion includes the branch of fitness facility, in which Brazil is fourth in the world market. Although the Physical Educator (PE) could be benefited by this expansion, this does not occur. And even being highlighted as a promoter of health and quality of life, there are little research on how the health and quality of life of PE are affected by their professional acting and working conditions. The objective of this research was to bring for scientific evidence some aspects of professional acting and working conditions of PE that work in fitness facility of Brasília (DF), being used descriptive research with semi-open questionnaire (n = 53). It was found that the rapid growth of fitness facility, including these places as the preferred locus to work of newly formed, does not correspond to better working conditions for PEs, due the presence of informality, precariousness, intensification and flexibilization of work, leading PE to work at various jobs [PEs have an average of two jobs (54.7%), and others PEs have 4 jobs (9.4%)], causing wear to your health, a contradiction to the essence of the profession. We denote the working conditions are not always favorable, but masked by the personal fulfillment of the vocational choice of profession. Low awareness, mobilization and criticality of PEs face this reality was verified, although some have indicated a desire to abandon the profession. The establishing a new contractuality is required.
