-Aims:The promotion of sports participation during the early years of life is important not only because it promotes health during childhood and adolescence, but also because it has benefits in adulthood. This study was developed to identify the association between sports participation during the early years of life and adulthood, to analyze the non-participation in sports throughout life and to identify the correlates of non-participation in sports. DESIGN:Cross-sectional study. Methods: The sample was composed of 743 adults randomly selected in a medium-size Brazilian city. Non-participation in sports during childhood and adolescence was assessed through specific questions, and nonparticipation in sports in adulthood was assessed using the second section of Baecke questionnaire. Answering "no" in the three periods assessed (childhood, adolescence and adulthood) was characterized as non-participation in sports throughout life. Chronological age, sex, formal education, BMI, current job and ethnicity were considered covariates.Categorical data were expressed as rates and compared using chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Results:The prevalence of adults not engaged in sports throughout life was 58.5% (95% CI= 55.1 -62.1). Females (OR = 2.41
Given the importance of physical activity for health promotion and for the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases, the Unified Health System (SUS) has changed its strategy of action in the last decades, trying to adopt preventive activities, seeking better quality of life of the Brazilian population and reduce costs with treatment of diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior patterns in users of the Brazilian National Unified Health System during 18 months and the impact of sex and time on such variables. One hundred and ninety-eight participants (58 men and 140 women) were evaluated. Physical activity level was assessed using the Baecke questionnaire. Men had higher scores in all physical activity variables compared to women: walking (p-value = 0.013), cycling (p-value = 0.001) and commuting (p-value= 0.007), but not for TV watching (p-value = 0.362). After 18 months, in the overall sample, walking score increased 25.9% (95%CI = 10.6 to 41.1), but not cycling (1.5% [95%CI = -2.7 to 5.7]), commuting (14.4% [95%CI = -0.4 to 29.3]) and TV watching (1.6% [95%CI = -5.7 to 9.1]). Men were usually more active than women in active behaviors, but not in TV watching. However, differences over time were similar between sexes.
O objetivo foi analisar em jogos de futebol da copa do Mundo de 2010, a ocorrência de faltas violentas e seus determinantes. Foram analisados 16 jogos da fase final dessa competição. Estes jogos foram gravados na íntegra e analisados por dois avaliadores treinados, caso houvesse algum lance capital que gerasse dúvida, um terceiro avaliador auxiliaria na decisão. A descrição dos dados foi feita em forma de taxas/prevalências. A correlação de Spearman foi empregada para analisar o relacionamento entre as variáveis. O teste qui-quadrado analisou a associação e a magnitude das associações foi observada pela Regressão Logística Binária. Ao todo, 18,4% das faltas foram consideradas violentas, e equipes européias foram as mais faltosas. O maior número de faltas ocorreu no segundo tempo; goleiros/zagueiros foram quem mais utilizaram esta infração. O local do campo com mais faltas foi a defesa. Houve associação entre gravidade da falta e ocorrência de cartões (p= 0,001), e correlação entre nível da falta e grau de punição (r= 0.65; p= 0,001). Local do campo parece ser determinante na ocorrência de ações violentas no futebol de alto nível. Palavras-chave: Futebol. Falta. Copa do mundo. Violência.
