Avaliação das Habilidades Motoras de Alunos com Paralisia Cerebral: Uso do ASPA-PC

Due to motor limitations of students with cerebral palsy, in many cases, there is the need to adapt pedagogical resources or indicate among available materials which is more accessible according to their Motor Skills to plan teaching strategies. It is known, however, that for these procedures you must perform an assessment not only able to identify their difficulties in relation to the motor act, but their skills related to resource access and what is expected with the handling. However, it is not so easy to evaluate specific characteristics of each student, since the literature has considered that teachers, even those with training in special education, have had difficulty not only in assessing students with disabilities, but also to consider data assessment to plan an effective intervention in teaching these students. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the motor skills of five students with cerebral palsy using the instrument called ASPA-PC. The results indicated that the use of ASPA-PC enabled the identification of motor skills in relation to access to the materials specifically to each student and therefore was possible : 1) adapting teaching resource; 2) contraindicate the use of a particular feature due to difficulties physical and the energy expenditure of the student performing the movement and 3) indicate more accessible materials to the student, taking into account its design. Furthermore, the evaluation result corroborated to develop teaching strategies for each student according to their characteristics.

Prática de atividade física e composição corporal em mulheres na menopausa

OBJETIVO: Analisar a relação entre a prática de atividade física e composição corporal em mulheres na menopausa. METODOS: Participaram do estudo 62 mulheres, com 50 anos ou mais (61,2±7,6 anos), todas na menopausa. A prática de atividade física foi avaliada através do acelerômetro (minutos na semana e counts). A massa magra e massa gorda total e de tronco foram mensuradas com uso da absortimetria de raios X de dupla energia e expressas em valores percentuais. A relação entre as variáveis de composição corporal e a atividade física foi avaliada pela correlação de Spearman e de Pearson. As comparações entre grupos (de acordo com a prática de atividade física e idade) foram realizadas por meio do teste t independente e Mann-Whitney. RESULTADOS: O grupo de idade igual ou inferior a 59 anos apresentou maiores médias de atividade física total em counts (3.572.435 versus 2.843.840) e minutos por semana de atividade física moderada-vigorosa (273 minutos versus 156 minutos). As mulheres que acumularam 150 minutos ou mais de atividade física moderada-vigorosa apresentaram valores inferiores de massa gorda total (43,8 versus 47,2 kg/m²), valores superiores de massa corporal magra (53,8 versus 49,6 kg) e IMC reduzido (27,7 versus 30,46 kg/m²) quando comparadas àquelas com menos de 150 minutos de atividade física na semana. Apenas o tempo em atividades moderadas apresentou correlação negativa com o percentual de gordura total (r=-0,26, p<0,05); já atividade física total em counts correlacionou-se com o percentual de massa magra (r=0,30), percentual de gordura total (r=-0,32), gordura de tronco (r=-0,29), e IMC (r=-0,32), todas as correlações apresentaram significância estatística de p<0,05. CONCLUSÃO: Mulheres na menopausa com idade igual ou superior a 50 anos que apresentam minutos em atividades moderada e vigorosa, e counts de atividade física total superiores possuem níveis inferiores de massa gorda e superiores de massa magra.
