Qualidade e cinesfera do movimento de jogadores de basquetebol em cadeira de rodas

Este estudo de caráter descritivo teve como objetivo investigar a qualidade e cinesfera dos movimentos dos membros superiores de jogadores de basquete em cadeira de rodas da Associação Rio-grandense de Paralíticos e Amputados. A revisão de literatura destacou a caracterização da pessoa portadora de deficiência motora e o basquete em cadeira de rodas, assim como o significado, a qualidade e cinesfera do movimento humano. Não tendo sido encontrada literatura sobre pesquisas realizadas a respeito desse assunto quanto ao usuário da cadeira de rodas, a coleta dos dados ocorreu através de entrevistas, filmagens e fichas de observação, o que possibilitou a análise e interpretação da qualidade e cinesfera dos indivíduos da amostra. Com os resultados obtidos, foi possível verificar que, em todos os movimentos locomotores, manipulativos, estabilizantes e expressivos, os indivíduos apresentaram uma qualidade própria dentro dos fatores do movimento (peso, tempo, espaço e fluência); foram também identificadas combinações entre estes fatores (caracterizando ações básicas de esforço). Quanto à cinesfera dos movimentos dos membros superiores, os indivíduos observados, portadores de deficiência motora, demonstraram explorar diferentes direções espaciais (dimensionais, diametrais e diagonais), predominando a direção espacial diametral, denominada de movimento das ações práticas.

Talento esportivo: um estudo dos indicadores somatomotores na seleção de jovens escolares

Este estudo tem como objetivo geral identificar no conjunto de medidas e testes do Projeto Esporte Brasil (PROESP-BR) indicadores de desempenho esportivo que permitam desenvolver parâmetros e metodologias para a detecção de possíveis talentos esportivos para o handebol, para o voleibol e para o basquetebol. A amostra é composta de 313 jovens indivíduos, estratificados conforme o nível de rendimento esportivo (atletas ou escolares), modalidade esportiva e sexo. O procedimento estatístico utilizado foi a Análise da Função Discriminante. Na comparação entre atletas e escolares, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas em todos os indicadores, com exceção da variável flexibilidade nas comparações: entre basquetebolistas e escolares do sexo masculino, e handebolistas e escolares do sexo masculino. Os indicadores de seleção estabeleceram-se da seguinte maneira: no Basquete Masculino, destacaram-se como indicadores de seleção, as variáveis: força explosiva de membros superiores, massa corporal, envergadura, estatura, força explosiva de membros inferiores, velocidade e agilidade; no Basquete Feminino: força explosiva de membros superiores, força explosiva de membros inferiores, velocidade, agilidade, envergadura, estatura e força-resistência abdominal; no Handebol Masculino: força explosiva de membros superiores, velocidade, força explosiva de membros inferiores, agilidade, massa corporal, estatura e envergadura; no Handebol Feminino: força explosiva de membros inferiores, velocidade, agilidade, força explosiva de membros superiores e envergadura; no Voleibol Masculino: força explosiva de membros superiores, força explosiva de membros inferiores, massa corporal, envergadura, estatura, velocidade e agilidade; e no Voleibol Feminino: força explosiva de membros inferiores, agilidade, envergadura, estatura, força explosiva de membros superiores, velocidade, força-resistência abdominal e massa corporal. O conjunto de indicadores do PROESP-BR apresentou um grande poder discriminatório entre jovens escolares e jovens atletas, classificando os casos com grande precisão e com altos percentuais de acerto.

Conhecimentos sobre o corpo: uma possibilidade de intervenção pedagógica nas aulas de educação física no ensino médio

The following study aims at the main conceptions around the body and the learning through physical education classes at school. Therefore, this research mainly presents a proposal of pedagogical intervention on physical education for Ensino Médio, centered on the knowledge about the body as well as how to evaluate the impacts of such interventions on the students‟ learning process. In order to surround our field of investigation, this work elaborates the following study questions: a) What have students learned about the body in physical education classes in Ensino Médio at IFRN? b) What methodological possibilities can contribute on the experience of meaningful learning processes in physical education in Ensino Médio related to the knowledge of body aspects? Regarding to the methodology used, this ethnographic research used several instruments for data collecting like dairies, diagnostic activities, self-assessment evaluations, portfolio, filming, photographs and posts on the social network facebook. The materialization of the pedagogical intervention and all of its implications allow us to consider that the physical education classes in Ensino Médio at IFRN, campus Parnamirim have supported meaningful experiences of learning. Also they motivate relevant discussions applicable to the students‟ everyday lives once they are supported by discussions related to the influence of media about the body of teenagers, the irregular use of steroids, massaging as a possibility of body relaxation. Also, we point out that the students had the chance to experience body activities which crossed the limits of physical education classes‟ hegemony at school, such as indoor soccer, dodgeball, volleyball, basketball and handball. Thus, the students could experience body activities beyond the limits of most common sports, which started several discussions about the juvenile universe and culture. Beside the professional and personal importance of this work, we list the scientific relevance for the production of knowledge on the educational field once the number of Works about the knowledge of the body are still only a few. This study is mainly about alternative body practices. Therefore, we consider that the knowledge about the body can and must be studied not only through alternative practices, but also in different approaches which can be attributed to body running phenomenon. Finally, we believe that the discussions hereby motivated about the matter are far from being enough, so we deliver our intention in deepening this study on forthcoming researches about the knowledge of the body in the field of physical education in Ensino Médio

Desenvolvimento e validação de protótipo das medidas de desenvolvimento humano

The evaluation of performance measures was performed with the prototype, the results obtained were compared with the data calculated by a statistical package is used as a reference. Results: All variables calculated by the prototype showed no significant differences when compared with the results calculated by the reference instrument and statistical package. Conclusion: The prototype has been developed and the results obtained in laboratory and field indicate that the prototype can be used for measuring human performance measures, with immediate results without the need for a conventional computer return, provided they fulfill the criteria described

Caracterização de lesões desportivas no basquetebol

INTRODUCTION: Basketball is characterized with high injury rate. In the literature it's not defined whether or not there are differences between the sexes. OBJECTIVE: Characterize and analyze the incidence of athletic injuries in basketball players, comparing the sexes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen under-23 category athletes of each sex were interviewed with the reported morbidity inquire. RESULTS: The age of the female and male teams, in average, was 18 ± 0.65 and 18.20 ± 1.57 years respectively. The male team had more injuries than the female one (respectively 2.6 ± 1.45 against 1.2 ± 1.18, p < 0.05). The joint damage was the most common injury in the male team, representing 58.97%, and the second most common in the female team (33.33%). The lower limbs were the most common injured sites (80.95% in the female and 69.23% in the male). The most frequent injury mechanism in the male team was the landing (43.59%), and in the female was the vertical jump (28.57%). In both teams the most injuries occurred during the training (61.9% in the female and 71.8% in the male). The absence was necessary in 47.62% (female) and 56.41% (male). Great part of the athletes didn't received any treatment (61.9% and 51.28% in the female and male team respectively). The return to the activities was mostly symptomatic, in both female and male team (85.71% and 84.62% respectively). CONCLUSION: The incidence of injuries in basketball is higher in the lower limbs. The male team is more likely to suffer injuries, and the main injury mechanisms were different between male and female team.

Análise dos fatores externos no desempenho do basquetebol

Foram entrevistados treze jovens do sexo masculino praticantes de basquetebol na cidade de Rio Claro - SP, na faixa etária de 15 a 17 anos, com tempo de pratica variando de um a quatro anos e treinando cinco vezes por semana. Os principais resultados obtidos foram: A maioria dos entrevistados respondeu que sofre uma influência negativa da torcida adversária; 46,15% dos entrevistados não sofrem nenhum tipo de influência devido à presença dos pais na torcida; A conduta do técnico durante os treinos e os jogos pode influenciar no resultado do jogo; 84,62% responderam que os árbitros podem ter seu desempenho diminuído com a pressão da torcida; A maioria dos entrevistados (69,24%) acha que o técnico, por estar junto da equipe durante os treinos e os jogos, tem uma influência maior no desempenho dos atletas.

Imagem corporal de pessoas com deficiência física: atletas e não atletas

Imagem corporal é um construto multifacetado que une desde a percepção até as atitudes das pessoas sobre seu próprio corpo e compreende o conceito que cada pessoa tem de seu corpo e a sua representação mental. A deficiência física e a construção negativa da imagem corporal pode fazer com que o auto-conceito do indivíduo também fique negativo, ampliando valores estigmatizantes, preconceituosos e que reforçam sentimentos de inferioridade, baixa auto-estima, exclusão social e depressão. A prática regular de exercício físico além de propiciar a reabilitação oferece benefícios para a saúde com vantagens fisiológicas (e.g. prevenção e redução de efeitos de doenças como diabetes, hipertensão, cardiopatia e osteoporose) e vantagens psico-sociais (e.g. redução de estresse, melhora na auto-estima e imagem corporal). A imagem corporal freqüentemente está associada com atitudes alimentares uma vez que distorções na imagem podem ser sintomas de distúrbios alimentares. O presente estudo teve o objetivo de verificar se distúrbios alimentares e alterações na imagem corporal tem relação com a prática esportiva por pessoas com deficiência física. Foram avaliados 22 atletas praticantes de basquete sobre rodas (32 ± 9 anos) e 22 deficientes físicos não atletas (35 ± 11 anos). A avaliação de atitudes alimentares foi realizada pelo Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (EAT 26 - Eating Attitude Test. Garner e Garfinkel, 1979) e avaliação da imagem corporal foi realizada pelo Questionário de Imagem Corporal (BSQ – Body Shape Questionnaire. Cooper et al, 1987) e pelo Questionário sobre Deficiência Física e Estima Corporal (PDBEQ – George Taleporos et al, 2002). Os resultados apontaram menor distúrbio da imagem corporal, porém com ausência de problemas alimentares para os participantes atletas praticantes de basquete...

A indução da potencialização pós-ativação através dos saltos: pliométrico e vertical

The Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) offers a proposal to optimize the production of strength and muscular power when performing exercises near maximum to actions previously assessed . The present study aims to show the activation process of postactivation potentiation (PAP) through vertical and plyometric jumps, and explain the user function of these movements. The ratio of post-activation potentiation resulting from plyometric and vertical jumps and explosive strength in the lower limbs aims to improve the potency and maximal strength, proven through studies and protocols detailed here. The results of this research come can be applied both for athletes and for individuals with experience in strength training and jumps (sports like volleyball, basketball and handball). The study was conducted through a literature review, conducted in scientific journals indexed in major databases (PubMed, ISI-Web of Science, SCIELO), books and academic papers (theses and dissertations)

O número de técnicos e técnicas que comandam equipes masculinas e femininas

It is known that gymnastics and sports, for the most part, were made by men for men, and its practice was almost exclusively for males, especially until the First World War. Vestiges of this strong male influence in sports still remain to this day, especially in leadership positions. It is clear that most sports, both male and female, are mostly coached by men. Thus, this study aimed to examine, through quantiqualitative research, the number of women and men who lead male and female volleyball, basketball and soccer elite teams, participating in the most important national championships, and the number of men and women graduated in physical education courses in Brazil in order to check a possible relationship between the low number of women working as a coach and the percentage of women graduated in physical education. For the acquisition of data, Internet searches were made on the sites of confederations, leagues and sports leagues selected for the study, and on the site of the National Institute of Educational Studies Anísio Teixeira (INEP). It was identified that the total number of graduates from 1995 to 2008 was 192,707, with 99,869 men and 92,838 women, showing a balance between these numbers, which did not happen with the numbers of male and female coaches. The data indicated that no women worked as a coach in male and female volleyball teams in the seasons 2006 to 2010, no woman worked as a coach in the male basketball teams in the seasons from 2000 to 2010, and only an average of 1.67 women led female basketball teams in the seasons 1998 to 2010, and no woman has ever worked as a coach for male soccer teams, while only an average of 2.67 women acted as a coach of female soccer teams. The difference between the number of men and women graduated in physical education is small and does not justify the low ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Basquetebol X temas transversais: a produção de material didático audiovisual para a Educação Física escolar

This study aimed, first, produce a kind of educational materials in audiovisual format, to the Physical Education, addressing the Transversal Themes in view of the basketball. The themes chosen were Cultural Plurality, addressing the basketball in a wheelchair, and Labor and Consumer Affairs, addressing the marketing and exploitation of labor force that the company is Nike. There is no doubt the importance of media production in contemporary society, as one of its main languages, but of little relevance in the school environment, especially in the area of Physical Education. In a second phase aimed at evaluating the feasibility of this material both as a teaching strategy, such as content of learning lessons. The evaluation was made through a discussion in the form of focus groups with 10 students from 9 th grade of elementary school. The results showed that despite an initial rejection of the material as a teaching strategy because of the history that Physical Education has for several years, students were open to new ways of learning. Since the results on the material, such as learning content, showed that the videos were able to address and the Transversal Themes and meet the need for procedural content with the proposed activities. With this, we realize that students are willing to discuss matters that are not always addressed, but now, with the creation of national curriculum standards should be reflected in the classroom

Quantificação de parâmetros da dinâmica da bandeja do basquetebol por variáveis temporais do salto e antropométricas

The objective of this research study was quantify the power, force of vertical impulse, jumping height and the relation of the power output during the execution of the layup in basketball, by variables associated to anthropometric data. The study was carried with seven basketball players, university students, male, from the Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio Mesquita Filho (Unesp) basketball team, from Bauru City. The players were an age of 20,7 ± 2,4 years old, body weight of 77,1 ± 9,4 kg, body fat of 14,7 ± 3,6%, lean mass of 65,5 ± 6,2 kg and height of 180,0 ± 5,0 cm. Each player did the ability of the layup three times, with a previous time to adapt. The kinetic and kinematic values was obtained from the data of a system that consists of photocells and a contact carpet from a system called JumpSystemâ (CEFISE), using after that equations of UVRM and impulse. The photocells was dispose to capture the previous run-up, as well the speedy in the time of two steps of the layup, and it was also synchronized with the contact carpet in the last step, to preserve the exactly time of the propulsion of jump. In this way, the values and the kinetic variables found was vV (2,94 ± 0,3 m's-1), vH (11,3 ± 3,4 m's-1), vI (11,8 ± 3,2 m's-1), time of contact (0,214 ± 0,2 s), angle of jump (15,9 ± 6,26 graus) and H (44,3 ± 8,9 cm). The variables and the kinematic values found was FimpV (974,9 ± 119,03 N, PP (3112,9 ± 633,9 W) and PM (1556,4 ± 316,9 W). To better understand the ability of layup in basketball, as the kinetic variables, kinematic variables and anthropometrics that determine the performance, the study did correlations between dV (H) with vV, vH, vI, angle, FimpV, PP e PM; FimpV, PP e PM com with the kinetic variables of vV, vH, vI, angle, and anthropometric variables of PC and height, and correlations of PP e PM with %G and MM. So, significant results was found between the correlations of dV with FimpV (R2 = 0,81)...
