Análise do perfil dos clientes de academias de ginástica : o primeiro passo para o planejamento estratégico

Neste estudo, buscou-se identificar as motivações humanas para a prática de atividade física, a fim de compreender os motivos de aderência e permanência dos indivíduos nas academias de ginástica, e a partir disso, contribuir para criar a base de uma estratégia de marketing voltada à fidelização de clientes de academias. Como metodologia, adotou-se a pesquisa descritiva como forma de aplicar conhecimentos na direção da solução de um problema específico, composto de duas etapas distintas: a primeira qualitativa (com caráter exploratório) e a segunda quantitativa (através da estruturação, aplicação de um questionário, para verificar e mensurar o comportamento dos consumidores de academias de ginástica). A partir da coleta, tabulação e análise dos resultados obtidos sobre a motivação dos clientes de academias, foi possível criar orientações para o planejamento estratégico voltado à fidelização dos clientes de academias de ginástica.

Reported Use of Anabolic Steroids and Ergogenic Substances in Gym/Health Club Settings: Associations with Psychosocial and Exercise Behavior Factors

The industry of ergogenic supplements is increasing rapidly (Cole et al., 2003). Supplements may constitute an important aid for some vigourous exercise routines, but they may also be used as a hypothetical mean to achieve increases in muscular mass. This supposed effect of suplements can lead to its use by individuals who have high levels of drive for muscularity, a condition that is known to be associated with muscular dismorphy (or as it has been called recently vigorexia, Pope et al., 1997). Another psychological factor which can influence supplement consumption is exercise dependence, a borderline problem, as most studies present a prevalence of less than 10% in regular exercisers (Palmeira & Matos, 2006). Symptoms like tolerance or continuity could lead to the use of ergogenic aids to maintain the exercise levels. Also of interest for the understanding of the use of suplements are exercise frequency, volume and intensity, which could explain the ratesof consumption on a more physicological level.

Impact of an occupational gym program on flexibility in office workers

The problem of work-related musculoskeletal disorders is a rising concern in the companies. Thus, occupational gym has emerged as a possible solution to this problem because it leads to changes in the lifestyle by promoting health and physical activity. In this regard, this study purposes to evaluate the impact of an occupational gym program in the neck and shoulder flexibility in office workers. In order to evaluate the levels of flexibility, a universal goniometer was used for pre and post occupational gym program implementation. The program had an extension of three months, with 15 minutes sessions twice a week. The sample consisted in an intervention group comprised of 30 elements and a control group composed of 8 elements. The results suggest that there were improvements in flexibility at the cervical spine and shoulder segments levels. The increase on flexibility between the two time points in the intervention group was significant, unlike the control group that presented only slight improvements.
