Introdução:A aptidão física relacionada à saúde refere-se às características físicas e fisiológicas que definem os perfis de morbimortalidade. Objetivo: Avaliar a aptidão física relacionada à saúde de escolares entre 7 e 10 anos. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 93 crianças de 7 a 10 anos de ambos os sexos. O instrumento utilizado foi a bateria de testes e medidas do Projeto Esporte Brasil (PROESP-BR) contendo teste de flexibilidade, resistência muscular, resistência cardiorrespiratória e índice de massa corporal (IMC), "peso/ altura 2 ". Resultados: Percebe-se que os escolares apresentaram níveis desejados de aptidão física nos testes de flexibilidade e IMC; no entanto, nos testes de resistência muscular e cardiorrespiratória, os escolares obtiveram níveis indesejados, considerando risco à saúde. Conclusão: Os resultados observados não apresentam níveis satisfatórios de aptidão física relacionada à saúde em resistências muscular e cardiorrespiratória, revelando um risco de desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis aos escolares.Palavras-chave: aptidão física; promoção da saúde; criança; avaliação em saúde; atividade motora. ABSTRACT Introduction:The physical fitness related to health refers to the physical and physiological characteristics that define the morbidity and mortality profiles. Objective: To a Assess the physical fitness related to health of 7-10 year-old students. Methods: The study included 93 7-10 year-old students of both sexes. The instrument used was the battery of tests and measures of Projeto Esporte Brasil (PROESP-BR), including (flexibility test, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance and body mass index (BMI), "weight/height 2 ". Results: It was observed that the students presented desired levels of physical fitness in the tests (flexibility and BMI), but in muscular endurance and cardiopulmonary tests, they got unwanted levels considering health risk. Conclusion: Our results do not show satisfactory levels of physical fitness related to health in muscular and cardiorespiratory endurance, revealing a risk of developing non transmissible chronic diseases to students.
Introduction:The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2) has been widely used in national literature for the diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The relationship of MABC-2 with the scientifi c gold standard instrument for DCD, the Brazilian version of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-BR), is not well established and is rather controversial.Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the concurrent validity of the MABC-2 motor battery and the DCDQ-BR, controlled for sex and age group. Methods:The concurrent validation process took place with the participation of 350 schoolchildren aged 7-11 years from the cities of Florianopolis-SC and Manaus-AM and their parents or guardians. The agreement between instruments was assessed with the Spearman correlation test and simple linear regression using SPSS software version 20.0. Results: Positive correlation between instruments´ scales was found.Conclusion: This study showed evidence of concurrent validity between MABC-2 and DCDQ-BR, suggesting that MABC-2 can be used as an indicator for developmental coordination disorder.
Introdução: O exercício físico proporciona benefícios ao corpo e vem sendo cada vez mais associado ao bem-estar psicossocial e a resiliência em idosos. Objetivo: Analisar os aspectos psicológicos (felicidade, humor, autoestima e resiliência) entre idosas praticantes e não praticantes de exercício físico. Método: Participaram do estudo 164 idosas, destas, 85 formaram o grupo de praticantes de exercício físico (GP), e 79, o de não praticantes (GNP). Utilizaram-se escala de estresse percebido, escala de autoestima de Rosenberg e escala de resiliência. Resultados: As idosas praticantes relataram sentirem-se mais felizes (77,6%) e bem-humoradas (70,6%). Quanto à autoestima e à resiliência, não foi observada diferença significativa entre os grupos. As participantes mais felizes, bem-humoradas e com maior autoestima apresentaram níveis superiores de resiliência. Conclusão: A prática de exercício físico favoreceu ganhos psicológicos ligados à felicidade e ao humor, e a autoestima correlacionou-se positivamente com o nível de resiliência em ambos os grupos.
School performance assessment in physical fitness tests ABSTRACTThe study aimed to evaluate the performance of students in physical fitness tests. The sample consisted of 88 students, of which 43 were female and 45 were male. The instrument used was to test battery and PROESP-BR measures containing 5 items: Speed test (20m running); Agility test (square); Explosive power test of the lower limbs (standing long jump); Explosive power test of the upper limbs (throwing medicine ball) and cardiorespiratory endurance (6-minute ride). It is noticed that most school showed levels of fitness lower than expected, especially in explosive force components of the lower limbs, agility, speed and cardiorespiratory fitness. It is suggested a better characterization of this population so that public policies to encourage physical activity to improve the physical fitness levels of school can be created.Descriptors: Physical Fitness; Child; Physical Activity.
