    Fatores intervenientes na prática pedagógica em Educação Física

    by Alessandra Catarina Martins, Gaia Salvador Claumann, Alexandra Folle

    Objetivou-se investigar na literatura os fatores intervenientes, enquanto facilitadores e desafios, na prática pedagógica de professores de Educação Física escolar. Os facilitadores são possibilidades, ações e/ou dinâmicas que geram percepção de sucesso, enquanto os desafios são problemas, barreiras, dificuldades e/ou dilemas que atrapalham a efetivação e/ou o sucesso da prática pedagógica. As fontes utilizadas foram bases de dados eletrônicas (artigos), banco de teses e dissertações, acervos bibliográficos digitais (e-books) e físicos (livros). Na literatura, foram identificadas as seguintes dimensões representativas dos fatores intervenientes da prática pedagógica: formativas (formação inicial e continuada); interpessoais e sociais (relacionamentos e valorização); administrativas (reuniões, suporte); estruturais (espaços e materiais); legais e trabalhistas (remuneração, plano de carreira, carga horária); pedagógicas (conteúdos, planejamento, estratégias, avaliação, gestão de classe). Os resultados encontrados revelaram, na percepção de professores, que os facilitadores estavam relacionados principalmente às dimensões interpessoais, sociais e estruturais, enquanto os desafios se vinculavam às dimensões interpessoais, sociais, estruturais, legais e trabalhistas.

    Translation and cultural adaptation to the Brazilian context of the Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment scale

    by Tânia R. Bertoldo Benedetti, Thaís Fávero Alves, Natalia Santos, Cassiano Ricardo Rech, Gaia Salvador Claumann, Fabiana Brito Silva

    Objectives: To translate and culturally adapt the Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment scale to the Brazilian context. Methods: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process took place in six stages: 1) authorization from the author of the original scale; 2) two translations of the scale into Brazilian Portuguese and synthesis into a single version; 3) back-translation; 4) evaluation of the initial version by a review committee (ten participants): clarity, comprehension, and suitability to the Brazilian context; 5) expert assessment I (same participants as the previous stage): evaluation of semantic, idiomatic, cultural, and conceptual equivalences; 6) expert assessment II (seven experts from five Brazilian regions): evaluation of semantic, idiomatic, cultural, and conceptual equivalences, considering linguistic variations in Brazil, and establishment of the final version. The experts involved in the different stages were professionals with academic experience or working in public health. For the assessments in stages 5 and 6, the content validity index was applied, considering agreement of at least 80.0% among experts as acceptable. Results: The 20 questions of the scale and their additional items (a total of 74 items to be answered) were translated and adapted according to the needs identified at different stages of the process. In stages 5 and 6, the questions of the three domains of the scale (evidence, context, and facilitation) demonstrated adequate content validity. Two questions presented a content validity index <80.0% in some equivalences. These and other items for which modifications were suggested were adjusted, resulting in the final version of the scale. Conclusion: The scale was translated and culturally adapted to the Brazilian context, demonstrating adequate content validity.

    Disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in college women: association with physical activity, inter-nalization of appearance ideals, and self-objectification

    by Isadora Gonzaga, Gaia Salvador Claumann, Clair Costa Miranda, Andreia Pelegrini

    This study aimed to examine associations of disordered eating attitudes and behaviors with moderate to vigorous physical activity, internalization of appearance ideals, and self-objectification in college women. Participants were 472 Brazilian college women, aged 18 to 30 years (mean 21.85 years; SD = 4.46). Disordered eating attitudes and behaviors were assessed using the Eating Attitudes Test. Physical activity levels were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (long version). Internalization of appearance ideals was assessed using the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4-Revised-Female. Self-objectification was assessed using the Self-Objectification Beliefs and Behaviors Scale. Spearman's correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression were conducted to examine the associations between the variables under investigation. Disordered eating attitudes and behaviors showed significant (p< 0.01) and positive correlations with all independent variables. In the multiple linear regression analysis, only the internalization of the muscular ideal was not associated with the outcome. The final model explained 41.3% of the variation of the dependent variable scores. College women may be susceptible to disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, according to their levels of physical activity, internalization of the thin/low body fat ideal, internalization of the general attractiveness ideal, and self-objectification. Keywords: Physical Appearance. Exercise. Eating Behavior. Body Image. Women.

    by Paula Fabricio Sandreschi, Gaia Salvador Claumann, Jean Augusto Coelho Guimarães, Sofia Wolker Manta, Daniel Rogério Petreça

    This study analyzed ChatGPT's responses when questioned about physical activity recommendations for health based on the characteristics of users served by the Primary Health Care, in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). A simulation was conducted of a SUS user seeking information about physical activity for themselves and their family. The responses provided by ChatGPT were analyzed by a committee of experts and classified according to their alignment with global and national physical activity guidelines. As a result, the responses were moderately satisfactory, with 23.1% of responses considered misaligned with information from reference documents, 46.2% moderately aligned, and 30.7% highly aligned. As more information becomes available regarding the formulation of responses provided by ChatGPT, the tool may assist in advising on public health physical activity. Este estudo analisou as respostas do ChatGPT ao ser questionado sobre recomendações de atividade física para a saúde com base em características de usuários atendidos pela Atenção Primária à Saúde, no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) do Brasil. Foi realizada a simulação de uma usuária do SUS em busca de informações sobre a prática de atividade física para si e para sua família. As respostas apresentadas pelo ChatGPT foram analisadas por um comitê de especialistas e classificadas de acordo com o alinhamento com diretrizes globais e nacionais de atividade física. Como resultado, as respostas foram moderadamente satisfatórias, sendo 23,1% de respostas consideradas não alinhadas com as informações dos documentos de referência, 46,2% moderadamente alinhadas e 30,7% altamente alinhadas. Na medida em que se tenham mais informações sobre a formulação das respostas apresentadas pelo ChatGPT, a ferramenta poderá auxiliar no aconselhamento de atividade física na saúde pública.

    by Eduarda Valim Pereira, Geiziane Laurindo de Morais, Ian Rabelo Gabriel, Gaia Salvador Claumann, Lucas Crescenti Abdala Saad Helal, Leonardo Roever, Joni Marcio de Farias

    Introduction: Exergames or active video games are digital platforms with functionality associated with body movement, which dialogue with improving physical activity levels, stimulating pleasure in practice and adherence to change habits, physically active behavior, and better quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the contribution of exergame to Body Mass Index, physical activity level, glycemic control, blood pressure, and cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescents. Methods: This is a systematic review, reported following the PRISMA writing recommendations, without language restrictions, for articles indexed in the following databases: MEDLINE / PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Lilacs. Data extraction was performed analogously in a spreadsheet previously tested and standardized. The assessment of the risk of bias in the included studies was carried out by the RoB 1.0 tool in all of its domains in duplicate of reviewers. Initially, 3.039 studies were found. Results: The studies cover a total of 526 adolescents aged ten to 19. The most used platform in the studies was the Nintendo Wii, followed by the PlayStation, Xbox 360, and Dance Dance Revolution. The results indicated that interventions using exergames were effective for changing BMI, but there was no evidence on cardiovascular outcomes, with no effective changes in glycemic control and blood pressure and a significant response (p <0.05) in cardiorespiratory fitness. Conclusion: The exergame points to satisfactory results in improving health and can be incorporated as a relevant public policy in the adolescent health promotion.

  • Mediation effects of lean mass and fat mass on the relationship between body mass index and handgrip strength

    by Mateus Augusto Bim, André de Araújo de Pinto, Gaia Salvador Claumann, Andreia Pelegrini

    Objective: This study aimed to assess the mediation effects of lean mass and fat mass on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and handgrip strength (HGS) in adolescents.Method: The sample included 118 adolescents (60 girls) aged 10–14 years. Body composition, determined from lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM), was measured by dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry. HGS was measured using a digital dynamometer. Moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity and sexual maturation, treated as covariates, were evaluated by accelerometry and pubic hair development, respectively. Spearman correlation and simple mediation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results: A positive relationship was observed between BMI and HGS (rho = .364, p < .001), BMI and LM (rho = .466, p < .001), LM and HGS (rho = .784, p < .001), BMI and FM (rho = .907, p < .001), and FM and HGS (rho = .291, p = .001). LM was the only significant mediator of the relationship between BMI and HGS.Conclusion: Only LM mediated the association between BMI and HGS, almost entirely explaining the relationship. The findings reinforce the need to include LM measurements in routine strength testing. Furthermore, strategies focused on LM development may be promising in preventing low muscle strength in adolescents.
