A prática esportiva melhora a qualidade de vida de pessoas com diferentes características, mas ainda não há informações sobre o impacto do esporte na qualidade de vida de pessoas com deficiência visual. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a percepção da qualidade de vida de atletas cegos de futebol de cinco e de goalball e compará-la com a qualidade de vida percebida de pessoas com deficiência visual fisicamente inativas. Trinta e sete homens com deficiência visual, separados em três grupos: 12 atletas de futebol de cinco (idade: M = 27,3 anos, DP = 10,2), 13 atletas de goalball (idade: M = 30,3 anos, DP = 7,0) e 12 pessoas fisicamente inativas (idade: M = 25,3 anos, DP = 2,3), responderam ao questionário WHOQOL-Bref. Atletas com deficiência visual obtiveram maior pontuação na Qualidade de Vida Global e Saúde Geral e em todos os domínios do WHOQOL-Bref do que pessoas fisicamente inativas. Não houve diferença entre a qualidade de vida percebida dos atletas de futebol e de goalball. Portanto, a despeito do tipo de esporte, sua prática está relacionada a uma melhor qualidade de vida de pessoas com deficiência visual.Palavras-chave: Cego. Futebol de Cegos. Futebol de Cinco.

WHOQOL-Bref.AbstractSports practice improves quality of life of people with different characteristics, but there is still no information about the impact of sport on quality of life among people with visual disorder. The aim of this study was to identify the perceived quality of life of blind football and goalball athletes and to compare it to perceived quality of life of physically inactive people with visual disorder. Thirty seven men with visual disorder, separated into three groups: 12 blind football athletes (age: M = 27.3 years, SD = 10.2), 13 goalball athletes (age: M = 30.3 years, SD = 7.0) and 12 physically inactive people (age: M = 25.3 years, SD = 2.3), answered the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire. Athletes with visual disorder obtained a higher score in the Overall Quality of Live and General Health and in all domains of the WHOQOL-Bref than physically inactive people. There was no difference between the perceived quality of life of football and goalball athletes. Therefore, despite the type of sport, its practice is related to a better quality of life of people with visual disorder.Keywords: Blind. Blind Football. Football Five-a-side. Goalball. WHOQOL-Bref.
This study aimed to describe the transition from the intervention protocols of the research project entitled "Active Environment" to the conception of the university extension program known as "EducAtivo". Considering the complexity of the context of physical activity promotion and the need to understand its processes, this manuscript justifies itself as it addresses such need by reporting the procedures adopted along the extension program implementation. The result of this transition is the current proposal of EducAtivo, aimed at creating opportunities for health experiences and reflection, using physical activities/body practices as a health education strategy, apart from approaching related topics such as healthy eating. With an itinerant design, this program implements its activities in social spaces, bringing the university closer to the community. Furthermore, EducAtivo welcomes students from different courses, fostering qualification for multi-professional work, since this is fundamental in the health field. Fundraising has been sought, aiming to improve and increase the program.
