Infuência da actividade física, de factores somáticos e do envolvimento na coordenação e habilidades motoras: um estudo em crianças madeirenses

O presente estudo foi delineado com os seguintes objectivos: (I) analisar as diferenças entre sexos no desempenho da coordenação e habilidades motoras e (II) avaliar a influência da actividade física (ActF), das características somáticas e do envolvimento familiar na capacidade de coordenação motora CM e expressão das habilidades motoras. A amostra foi constituída por 1632 crianças (835 do sexo feminino e 797 do sexo masculino) que participaram no projecto “Crescer com Saúde na Região Autónoma da Madeira” (CRES). Para avaliar o desenvolvimento coordenativo foi utilizada a bateria KTK e para as habilidades motoras recorremos ao Teste de Desenvolvimento das Habilidades Motoras Fundamentais (TGMD 2). As variáveis somáticas avaliadas foram: altura, peso e soma de cinco pregas adiposas (S5PA). As variáveis do envolvimento avaliadas foram: estatuto sócio-económico (ESE), fratria e outras variáveis relacionadas com o espaço habitacional e práticas educativas. A ActF foi avaliada através do questionário de Godin e Shephard (1985). Foi realizada a estatística descritiva para todas as variáveis observadas: média, desviopadrão, mínimo e máximo para as variáveis medidas nas escalas intervalar e de razão, frequências e percentagens para as variáveis medidas na escala nominal. Foi usada a prova de Student para analisar a diferença entre os dois sexos nas diferentes provas motoras. Para identificar as variáveis determinantes do desempenho motor foi usada a análise de regressão múltipla com o método stepwise. Em todas as provas estatísticas os resultados foram considerados significativos quando p≤0,05. Os rapazes obtiveram resultados médios superiores às raparigas na CM e no desempenho das habilidades motoras, com excepção dos testes de avaliação locomotora nas crianças com idade superior aos 6 anos em que não existem diferenças entre os sexos. A generalidade das crianças apresenta valores de CM que se situam nos níveis de insuficiências e perturbações coordenativas. As variáveis somáticas foram as melhores preditoras na variação do desempenho nos testes de CM e habilidades motoras. Níveis mais elevados de ctF estão associados a resultados médios superiores no desempenho dos testes de CM e na avaliação de controlo de objectos, nos rapazes com idade superior a 6 anos. As variáveis do envolvimento que melhor explicaram os resultados obtidos nos testes motores foram o ESE, o tipo de habitação, a ordem da fratria e o limite geográfico concedido à criança para brincar.

A banalização da injustiça social no cotidiano de trabalho : a propósito da violência no trabalho e ameaça à saúde do trabalhador

Analyzes the factors that unleash violence by banalization of the problems and health questions of workers in a federal public institution, in Natal/RN. It analyzes transformations in the world of the work, with its politic, social and economic determinatives and its relation to the worker health. Boarding the violence in the work enviroment and its implications to the worker health, focusing on the banalization of problems faced by the workers as a kind of violence in and with the work. It was chosen an analitic methodology with qualitative approach, through the collection tecnic and information analyzes according to the thematic oral history, with recorders of authorized personal narratives, through individual interview with a semi-structured guide. In the analyzis of results it were made empiric cathegories: the daily work enviroment and its influence to the worker profession and life; the violence presents in the work enviroment and its consequences to the worker life and health; the banalization of the social injustice, due to violence against the worker that broked their dreams concerned to the nursing contribution. The results revealed the ordinary work of these workers showing enviromental and organizational unhealthy conditions, caracterized by physical and tecnical insecurity; absence and disqualification of instrumental and human supplies; overload and complexity service; bad distribution of the duties and pressure to the deadline and productivity, producing tension, conflict and anxiety related to the users, colleagues, superiors and to the duties. In the work enviroment, it were identified a external violence, caracterized by physical and verbal aggresion, psychic suffering, worker depreciation; and internal, caracterized by: moral and psychological molestations and accupational structural violence. These kinds of violence bring consequences to the life, that is, professional, economic and moral order of factors and to the health by biological, mental and emocional factors. The banalization of social injustice during the daily work was discussed in the aspects of banalization of problems and work conditions, the health, qualification banalizations and professional valorization. The workers expectatives pointed out to the necessity of: secure conditions of work; trainning and tecnical assistance; politics of attention to the physical, mental and social health to the workers and their family. We conclude the enviromental and organizational conditions of the workers interviewed do not offer physical and tecnical security that they need to the execution of their activities, neither offer comfort or physical and psychological satisfactions. The politic the instituition has used points out to the depreciation and inhumanization of them producing feelings as unsatisfaction, frustation and indignation related to the institution and the work, bringing suffering and physical and mental sicking. We noticed the most terrible violence found in the work enviroment is the banalization of social injustice related do the problems and health of these workers, producing a slowly debility and simbolic death of their lifes. Therefore, it is necessary the implementation of a politic that promotes assurance, health and integral education, valorization and humanization of these workers

Adolescentes e jovens e suas bases de apoio :relações de amizade como suporte social no enfrentamento à violência

The purpose of this work is to map the family and community social supports for adolescents and young students from Bom Pastor Distric, West Zone of Natal/RN, as well as to describe how such resources are used by these individuaIs in that community. Social support refers not only to formal activities or organizations, but also to spontaneous or informal forms of support - friendship and solidarity nets available in the community, affective relations that are meaningful in the lives of children and young people. Our discussion is based on a research performed with 382 adolescents and young students from Jean Mermoz Public School (students from 5th to 11th grades, aged 13 to 14). We emphasized the situations of violence derived from family or community spheres faced by these students. In relation to this specific aspect, we observed the participants more frequently look for help from the informal social supports, mostly from their friends, which indicates that the formal ones are not considered to be effective instruments for social assistance. The search for informal social supports shows the relations informally established in the streets (for instance when they look for help from friends, rei atives or neighbors) have more effect and play an important role in which there are values and affections exchange. Thinking the strengthening of these social links is of extreme importance and leads to the weakening of the hegemonic logics focused on the production of subjects as private identities, and to the amplification of an ethics committed to the disassembly of a sociability anchored to fear, impotence, intolerance, discrimination, and reduction of spaces for circulating and confronting mechanisms of social exclusion. It is crucial that we concentrate our attention to building friendship as a system of reciprocity and affective exchanges, as a space for political actions and production of forms of lives that are potent against social anesthesia

Silenciosas e silenciadas: descortinando as violências contra a mulher no cotidiano da prostituição em Natal-RN

The prostitution is known as the world's oldest "profession", according to some historians, "the contemporary civilization itself." However, to refer it that way, we can systematically emptying it of expressions of violence that permeate. Furthermore, this statement tries to legitimize prostitution as a practical historically related to the natural condition of women. The main objective of the research is to examine how the activity prostitucional potentiates in different forms of violence in everyday development of prostitution in the city of Natal. Accordingly, the spot of the categories of gender relations and patriarchal violence against women, refute the thesis advocated by much of feminist studies on of prostitution as an expression of autonomy of women and overcoming the patriarchal order of gender. Procedures as set methodological quali-quantitative approach, guided by the method historicalmaterialist dialectic that allows us to apprehend the object of study beyond their immediate, unmasking its contradictions. We conducted nine interviews with prostitutes belonging to the classes of People who develop the activities in the streets and prostitutes Natals` cabarets. We hand with the systematic observation activities promoted by the Association of Prostitutes in Rio Grande do Norte ASPRORN, as the visits to cabarets, as well as participation in seminars held by this entity, at which establish contacts with informants-c which have facilitated access to interviewed. We note that the economic dimension is the factor determinant for their inclusion in prostitution, all to recognize as who found an alternative for survival, since most do not has no professional training and education. Another issue important to be emphasized concerns the areas where unhealthy develop programs which by itself is characterized as a denial of rights, expressed in the socioeconomic inequality that are subject. As the expressions of violence in their daily lives, the main forms identified were the physical and social, however, there is a trend in naturalizes them, the secondary-over other issues identified as most pressing, such as not service payment by the customers. The determinants of violence identified by respondents were assigned to the woman, or is its boldness. We also, the omission of the State in the issue of prostitution, mainly embodied in absence of public policies directed to sexual rights and reproductive and generation of employment and income. Regarding the regulation of prostitution, the majority of the interviewees is contrary, arguing that exacerbate the stigma in this practice

Mídia e gênero: análise crítica da violência contra a mulher no telejornalismo

This thesis is consisted of a theoretical and empirical study about the treatment given by media, particularly on telejournalism, to violence against women. It aims to analyze and reflect about the role of media, particularly television, on the process of reproduction of patriarchy system of gender on the context of Brazilian society, from content and narrative news about crimes committed against Andreia Rodrigues and Eliza Samudio. In light of the critical perspective, we seek to apprehend the particularities of patriarchy as a system of domination and subjugation of women, and also reveal the involvement of traditional means of media on reproduction and maintenance of inequality between men and women. To apprehend that reality, we had as guidance a critical social theory, grounded in historical-dialectical materialism which enabled us to apprehend the phenomenon under investigation actually enrolled in a dynamic and contradictory reality. The research had qualitative approach. We appeal to the specialized literature of the area from classical and contemporary authors. We conducted a content analysis of categorized matters, and interviews with individuals involved in issues of gender and / or communication. The critical examination of the matters indicated that television journalism is permeated by the contradictions inherent in social life, means that states and restates the ideology of ruling classes, their values and worldviews, but also express conflicts and social demands. The study revealed that prevails on television playing stereotypes and gender inequalities. We could also see that violence against women gets a sensationalist overblown approach and with no insights on the social relations that determine and base it.

Atividade física habitual de crianças e adolescentes mensurada por pedômetro e sua relação com índices nutricionais

A monitoração dos níveis de prática de atividade física em segmentos da população jovem tem se tornado importante tema de interesse entre especialistas da área. O Objetivo do estudo foi verificar o nível de atividade física de escolares, baseando-se em duas recomendações vigentes, e analisar a existência de associações entre a quantidade de passos/dia e diferentes indicadores de adiposidade corporal. A casuística foi composta por 162 indivíduos de dez a 18 anos (65 do sexo masculino e 97 do sexo feminino). Foram calculados o Índice de Massa Corporal e o percentual de gordura por impedância bioelétrica. O nível de atividade física habitual foi mensurado por meio de pedômetro (New Lifestyles modelo NL-2000) e analisado de acordo com duas recomendações internacionais: Duncan et al. (masculino: 16.000 passos/dia e feminino: 13.000 passos/dia) e Tudor-Locke et al. (masculino: 15.000 passos/dia e feminino: 12.000 passos/dia). O teste t de Student e a ANOVA One-Away (Post Hoc - LSD) compararam os grupos formados. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5% (p£0,05). Dos resultados, apenas 18,5% da amostra cumpriu as recomendações propostas por Duncan e 25,9% cumpriram os pontos de corte propostos por Tudor-Locke et al.. Os adolescentes que não cumpriram as recomendações propostas por Duncan et al., apresentaram valores percentuais de gordura corporal maiores quando comparados aos jovens que cumpriram (p<0,05). Pode-se concluir que uma elevada taxa de jovens não cumpriu as duas recomendações analisadas, bem como, apenas um indicador de adiposidade associou-se com o cumprimento de umas das recomendações.

Crianças com dificuldades motoras apresentam baixos níveis de aptidão física?

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar se crianças com dificuldades motoras apresentariam baixos níveis de aptidão física relacionada à saúde em relação aos seus pares sem dificuldades. Dezesseis crianças com dificuldades motoras com aproximadamente oito anos foram pareadas em gênero e idade com outras 16 sem dificuldades motoras. Os participantes completaram os testes de aptidão física (sentar e alcançar, salto em distância parado, puxada em suspensão na barra modificado, abdominal e corrida de 9 minutos) e os de coordenação motora (MABC-2). Os resultados indicaram diferenças significativas no salto em distância parado, puxada em suspensão na barra modificado, abdominal, mas não para sentar e alcançar e corrida de 9-m. Os resultados são semelhantes aos publicados na literatura internacional, com exceção da corrida de 9 minutos. A ideia de que em algum grau a coordenação é necessária para executar tarefas de aptidão física e pode impactar no desempenho da aptidão física é discutida no presente trabalho.
