Centro Esportivo voltado para pessoas com deficiência física

Em Presidente Prudente, a média de pessoas que apresentam algum tipo de deficiência supera as demais cidades do estado de São de Paulo (IBGE 2010). Em decorrência desta população expressiva e a ausência de acessibilidade e de equipamentos voltados para essa demanda, buscando seu bem-estar, este trabalho final de graduação propõe a criação de um Centro Esportivo voltado para pessoas com deficiência física. É pensando nas dificuldades que estes encontram para manter uma vida saudável, que o Centro Esportivo atua não só como fator de qualidade de vida, através prática da atividade física, como também de integração social, através do convívio que se tem com diversas pessoas, que podem apresentar a mesma dificuldade ou não, propiciando a troca de valores e experiência

Percepção da imagem corporal: comparação entre universitários do curso de educação física

The professional market for physical education and fitness demands for perfect and aesthetically beautiful bodies from its professionals, and the additional pressure of media, both add to the risk for body image dissatisfaction among these professional, increasing the risk for developing body image distortions and, ultimately, eating disorders. Body image dissatisfaction affects more women in their attempts for thin ideal. However, lately, because of social pressure for body aesthetical habits in both genders, men are faced with higher risk for distortions in body perception, leading to unhealthy eating habits and pathogenic exercise. With this in mind, the purpose of this study was to compare freshmen and senior physical education (PE) students from the State University of São Paulo (UNESP), as well as to make gender comparisons. Two groups comprise each, 46 freshmen PE students (23 females and 23 males), average age 18.7 ± 1.7 years; and 26 senior PE students (13 females and 13 males), average age 23 ± 1.9 years. Both groups filled out the questionnaires: Eating Attitudes Test/ EAT-26, Body Shape Questionnaire/ BSQ, Body Shape Questionnaire/ BSQ, and motivation state questionnaire/ LEA-RI. Results showed that the majority of participants wanted to change some aspect of their looks; women were more dissatisfied with their bodies than men; eating behavior scores were within the normal range for both groups. Finally, freshmen PE students are at a higher risk for body image distortion than senior PE students. We concluded that women, as well as younger individuals in general, are at higher risk for body image distortions. It is likely that experience in the further years of a physical education course has positive impact on body self image.

Qualidade de sono em praticantes de atividade física regular

Nos últimos anos tem crescido o interesse de inúmeros pesquisadores em relação ao sono, já que ele vem sendo apontado como um importante indicador de saúde. Sabe-se atualmente que a qualidade do sono pode ser influenciada por diversos fatores, tais como: o uso de medicamentos; ingestão alcoólica; alterações psicológicas e sociais; ambiente; e a prática regular de atividade física. Por este motivo, objetivamos com este trabalho, verificar a qualidade de sono apresentada por praticantes de atividade física regular, bem como, apresentar propostas para uma maior qualidade da mesma. Para isso aplicamos um questionário de percepção subjetiva de qualidade de sono, com níveis de qualidade entre: sono profundo e pouquíssimo estado de sonolência, durante 31 dias consecutivos. Fizeram parte da pesquisa, sete indivíduos (5 homens e 2 mulheres), com idades entre 49 e 73 anos (± 63 anos), praticantes de atividade física regular. Os resultados demonstraram que: 2.8% (6) dos relatos indicaram um sono profundo; 77.0% (167) um sono normal; 5.5% (12) um sono sem relaxamento; 14.3% (31) um sono ruim, com pausas; e 0.4% (1) pouquíssimo estado de sonolência. Em 79.8% (173) dos relatos, a percepção subjetiva de qualidade de sono foi de profundo ou normal, enquanto que em 20.2% (44) dos mesmos, a qualidade do sono estava entre: sem relaxamento; ruim, com pausas; e pouquíssimo estado de sonolência; o que nos leva a concluir que a qualidade do sono destes indivíduos pode ser considerada boa. Porém, as alterações na estrutura de sono, inerentes ao processo de envelhecimento, parecem comprometer uma maior qualidade de sono, principalmente a aquisição de um sono profundo. Se a prática de atividade física regular é importante para alterações benéficas na qualidade de sono destes indivíduos, a adoção de hábitos de higiene de sono, ...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Análise física da estrutura do tecido ósseo bovino

There are diseases in vertebrates associated with the structure of bone tissue that directly affect the locomotor system of the animal. Being a endoskeleton, the diagnosis of these diseases becomes difficult in vivo. The characterization of the physical structure of the bone tissue of healthy animals becomes a major tool in the diagnosis comparison of live animals. Thus, the objective of this work is to determine the average value of the key physical properties of the bone structure used in the clinical diagnosis, such as: bone density, porosity, and mass attenuation coefficient of 59.6 keV photons of bone tissue and bovine and equine check variations in these values. The samples were provided by the pathology department of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechny of Botucatu-SP, which are of one male equine and one female bovine animals, using the radio and metacarpus, together with these materials were supplied the historic them. They were withdrawn ten samples in cuts of 10cm over the bone . These samples were submitted to the wet method of immersion in water for the density, by the method of attenuation of gamma radiation of radioisotope 241Am, it is estimated the mass attenuation coefficient, and then were dried in the oven for determining the content moisture.

História do desenvolvimento do conceito de força: um estudo visando contribuições para o ensino de física no nível médio

This study presents the results of a study on the development of the concept of force and their possible applications in physics teaching. The historical study has focused on Aristotelian natural philosophy, medieval theories of strength in impressed and on classical Newtonian mechanics. The Newtonian concept of force was also an object lesson of physics analyzed in this study. In this lesson, conducted in a preuniversity course, spontaneous conceptions or alternative conceptions of students about the concept of force proved very entrenched, resulting in studies on the Model Change on Conceptual and epistemological obstacles in view Bachelardian. The theoretical frameworks adopted led us to trace parallels between spontaneous conceptions revealed by the students and some views about the concept of force found in the study of history. The results show that while some old conceptions have been replaced by scientifically Newtonian concept of force, they are still present in the students' ideas and resist to changes even after the study of Newton's laws. Like main result shows that the history of science can be a great ally for the deconstruction of alternative conceptions, particularly when these concepts were previously presented and overcome the course of history of the development of a concept

As atividades experimentais no ensino de física

This work was developed from a literature search in order to provide teachers of physics theoretical and methodological requirements for the use of experimentation in physics teaching, with the aim of contributing to the teaching practice of these teachers and, consequently, for improving teaching this discipline. Therefore, to deal in the course of this research, the goals and types of practical activities, new information and communication technologies that fit the experimental approaches and the role of the teacher in this context, specifying the variables that influence and relate with experimental activities. Studies are presented on the methodology and planning of experimental activities to draw attention to the teacher and the important issues relevant to the preparation of these activities as, for example, the proposed objectives and types of discourse and existing approaches for the conduct of practical activities. In this sense, the trend is highlighted for walks where the approach of practical activities, within the context of practices interactionist and are pointed out strengths and weaknesses of different types of activities presented. We also highlight aspects of the learning process associated with some theoretical reference that are on that subject, as Piaget, Vigotski and Ausubel, so that the teacher can apply the concepts in their theories worked in the practical lessons of physics

Uma proposta de intervenção com atividade física individualizada na deficiência intelectual: um estudo de caso

The practice of regular physical activity has been considered a protective factor against the degenerative processes of the body, acting as a promoter of health, especially for risk groups such as obese and resistant groups exercise adherence as among the intellectually disabled (ID) . This study involved the administration of a training protocol and the physical parameters of longitudinal health in a subject about 43 years, intellectually deficient, hypertensive, obese and with a strong predisposition to develop diabetes and heart disease. The main objective of long-term program was to reduce body weight and normalize blood pressure (BP) after the student's physical activity and preferentially interfere with BP values at rest (ie before the daily schedule). The other objective was to improve general physical fitness. The protocol involved four meetings per week lasting one hour, in addition to participation in the program PROEFA (twice a week with sessions of one hour each), totaling 57 sessions spread over five months. The evaluation protocol included in each session the following tests: blood pressure measurements and heart rate, and amount of physical activity recorded via pedometer. Tests applied before and after the training included: anthropometric assessment, agility test, flexibility test, test drive through vertical and horizontal jumps and endurance to the test bench. The mass (kg) and BMI corresponded to the initial values of 127.7 kg and 42.05 kg m-2, and 5 months after 113.2 kg and 37.48 kg m-2, respectively. The waist-hip ratio was close to 1 after the intervention and this value corresponded to 0.98. For the test of agility (shuttle run) was not found improvement in performance. To test the values of the horizontal jump in pre-test were 52 cm and 56 cm post-test, vertical jump has been improved and...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Estudo da fotoisomerização em filmes de polímero triacrilato dopado com azocorante disperse red 1

Triacrylate resins are widely used to fabricate 3D microstructures, photonic crystals and optical devices. These resins can be doped with photosensitive materials like Disperse Red 1 (DR1), an Azo dye that changes its molecular configuration from trans to cis (photoisomerisation) with variations in their optical absorption spectrum when irradiated with ultraviolet or visible light. The reversibility of this process is thermally activated and occurs when the molecule remains at dark. In this work was prepared a 1:1 mixture of ethoxylated-6-trimethylolpropane (SR499) and tris-2-hydroxyethyl-isocyanurate (SR368) triacrylate resins, plus photoinitiator Lucirin TPOL, forming a UV curable polymeric matrix doped with DR1. Thin films were deposited onto glass slides by spin-coating technique. The films showed photochromic effect when illuminated with a low power diode laser (450 nm and 50mW/cm2). This effect is reversible after sample is left in dark. Thermochromic effect was evaluated by optical absorption measurements in the range of 40 to 140oC, heating the samples in-situ
