- Adapted sports in physical education: a pedagogical aproach to promoting awareness of diversityPublication . Silva, João; Sousa, José; Coelho, Filipe; Rodrigues, Ana; Rodrigues, AnaPhysical Education plays an important role by enabling pupils to engage directly in a wide range of learning activities (Del Val Martín et al., 2023). However, certain barriers may limit the active participation of pupils with special needs. Robertson and colleagues (2018) note that children with educational needs tend to be less active in PE classes than their peers. The growing appeal and acceptance of adapted sports makes them a valuable addition to any Physical Education program and presents them as an effective strategy for promoting inclusion by: (i) enhancing the participation of pupils with special needs; and (ii) raising awareness among peers without disabilities through direct experience of sensory and motor limitations. This study aims to analyze the importance of including adapted sports in Physical Education, identifying the associated benefits for all pupils, the challenges faced by teachers, and the strategies that can enhance more inclusive and effective pedagogical practices. The research follows a qualitative methodology, adopting a descriptive review approach, as the objective is to collect and synthesize existing knowledge on the topic. The findings suggest that the inclusion of adapted sports in Physical Education promotes social, physical, and psychological benefits for pupils both with and without disabilities. However, challenges such as a lack of teacher training and inadequate resources appear to hinder the effective implementation of these practices. The use of inclusive pedagogical strategies can help to overcome these barriers, making Physical Education more equitable and inclusive.
- Analysis of the influence of the numerical relation in handball during an organized attack, specifically the tactical behavior of the center backPublication . Prudente, João Nunes; Cardoso, Américo Ramos; Rodrigues, Ana José; Sousa, Duarte Filipe; Prudente, João Filipe; Ramos Cardoso, Américo; Rodrigues, Ana; Sousa, DuarteIn the last decades, observational methodology has been widely used in scientific research in sport, namely in the study of team games like handball, due to its characteristics. Handball, in addition to being a collective, complex, dynamic, and interactive sport, has its own characteristics and demands a performance analysis that takes into account the context and interaction between different factors and variables. The present study analyzes how the different numerical relations in an attack can change the center back’s patterns of tactical behavior. Observational methodology and a mixed ad hoc instrument combining field format and category systems appropriately validated by experts were used. Data were taken from 20 matches involving teams classified in the first four places in the 2017 Men’s World Championship. These were recorded from TV broadcasts, and the total number of offensive sequences carried out in an organized attack game method (n = 990) was analyzed. In each of the sequences carried out in an organized attack, the numerical relation in attack or defense was observed and recorded. In addition to this, it was verified whether the attacking team maintained or replaced the goalkeeper by a field player in the attack. Both sequential analysis techniques with lags, prospective, and retrospective, as well as polar coordinate analysis, were used. Results have shown that there are different behavioral patterns of the center back in the three different situations of numerical relation. Another element that stood out was that in numerical equality with the defense and no goalkeeper at the goal, the center back opted for greater security and less risk of loss of the ball.
- O apoio tecnológico à adoção de um estilo de vida ativo e sustentávelPublication . Lopes, Helder; Gouveia, Élvio; Correia, Ana; Alves, Ricardo; Fernando, Catarina; Prudente, João; Antunes, Hélio; Rodrigues, AnaA adoção de um estilo de vida ativo e sustentável pode ser potenciada se existir a consciência daquilo que efetivamente se faz ou deveria fazer. A utilização de meios tecnológicos que permitem uma monitorização dos pro cessos pode assumir um papel importante nessa consciencialização. Com o Projeto “Educação Física nas Escolas da RAM – Compreender, Intervir, Transformar” criamos condições para uma abordagem transdisciplinar potencian do intervenções pedagógicas que promovem, de forma lúdica, a adoção de estilos de vida ativos e sustentáveis. Através da utilização de smartphones, smartwatchs, pedómetros, etc. que permi tem registar de forma integrada, por exemplo, a atividade física, os hábitos alimen tares e a respetiva pegada ecológica, tem sido possível desenvolver um processo pe dagógico que potencia o espírito crítico e a tomada de decisão consciente perante os desafios a que se tem de dar resposta.
- A associação entre o estilo de vida e a atitude de alunos do ensino básico e secundário em relação à disciplina de educação físicaPublication . Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Ihle, Andreas; Rodrigues, Ana; Correia, Ana Luisa; Alves, Ricardo; Simões, Joana; Gouveia, Bruna; Kliegel, Matthias; Freitas, Duarte; Lopes, HelderEste estudo teve por objetivo o seguinte: investigar a associação entre o estilo de vida e a atitude positiva (EñgEFD) ou negativa (EgEFD) dos alunos sobre a Educação Física (EF). Um estudo de natureza transversal foi conduzido em 243 estudantes (15.6 ±2.5 anos). A informação demográfica, a opinião sobre a EF, e a auto perceção foram avaliados através de questionários. A aptidão física foi determinada a partir da FITNESSGRAM e da EUROFIT. A percentagem de gordura foi estimada a partir das equações de Slaughter et al., (1988). Análises descritivas e o t-test de medidas independentes foram conduzidas nas análises. Nesta amostra, 74.5% dos estudantes afirmam gostar de EDF. Os EgEFD apresentam scores significativamente mais elevados comparativamente aos EñgEFD na força, velocidade/agilidade, força resistência do tronco e resistência aeróbia (p<.007). Os EgEFD têm uma melhor percepção das suas capacidades físicas, assim como referem ter uma boa saúde e adotarem estilos de vida mais saudáveis (p<.001). Os EgEFD apresentam um perfil funcional e psicológico mais saudável, auto percecionam um melhor estado de saúde e preferem envolver-se em atividades físicas em detrimento das atividades sedentárias no seu dia-a-dia.
- Association between Body Composition, Physical Activity Profile, and Occurrence of Knee and Foot Postural Alterations among Young Healthy AdultsPublication . Ashraf, Sadaf; Viveiros, Roberto; França, Cíntia; Ornelas, Rui Trindade; Rodrigues, AnaKnee and foot deformities refer to structural abnormalities in the knee and foot bones, joints, ligaments, or muscles. Various factors, including genetics, injury, disease, or excessive use, can cause these deformities. These musculoskeletal conditions can significantly impact individuals’ quality of life. This study examined foot and knee deformities in 231 young healthy adults (165 men, 66 women) aged 22.6 ± 4.9 years and their association with physical activity and body composition. The postural assessment was performed by two Physiotherapists, with the subject standing in three views: side, anterior, and posterior. Physical activity (Baecke’s Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire) and body composition (InBody 770) were assessed. Results showed that the most common foot deformity was pes planus, while the genu recurvatum was the most common knee deformity among the individuals. Physical activity level was negatively associated with knee and foot deformities. Conversely, body composition differed with the presence of genu recurvatum. These findings present a starting point to understand the occurrence of knee and foot postural alterations according to the individuals’ body composition and physical activity profiles, which could support the deployment of tailored interventions among healthy adults. In addition, early detection of postural changes is crucial in mitigating their negative long-term impact on physical well-being.
- Associations of physical activity with body composition and aerobic capacity in adults with Down syndromePublication . Rodrigues, Ana; Rodrigues, Ana; Antunes, Hélio; Antunes, Hélio; Alves, Ricardo; Alves, Ricardo; Velosa Barreto Ferreira Alves, José Ricardo; Sousa, Duarte; Sousa, Duarte; Lopes, Helder; Lopes, Helder; Prudente, João; Prudente, João FilipeThe characterization of physical activity profile and the relation with health indicators is still an issue to explore in populations with Down Syndrome. With the development of this study we intend to: (i) describe the levels of physical activity, aerobic capacity and body composition of participants, considering gender and age, (ii) analyse the association between physical activity levels and aerobic capacity and body composition. In this study participated 26 subjects (16 males and 10 females) with Down syndrome, aged between 19 and 41 years (27.33±11.93). All participants were evaluated in physical activity using a pedometer (one week), aerobic capacity (AAHPERD, 1998), weight and height. Reduced levels of physical activity (4073.71±1217.69 steps/day) and aerobic capacity (3.09±.90 minutes) were observed among participants. The prevalence of obesity was 36.4% and 13.6% overweight, 50% of the participants presented the recommended weight. However, none of the analysed parameters shows differences between sexes (p>.05), nor association between age and the indicators evaluated (p>.05). Physical activity has been shown to be associated with: (i) body mass index (r=-.747, p<.001) and (ii) with cardiorespiratory capacity (r=.458, p=.019). It is necessary to develop programs and policies to promote physical activity in this population, in order to prevent the development of various pathologies.
- The athlete’s perception of parents behaviors in sport context: a study in youth handball players of the Madeira Handball AssociationPublication . Sousa, Duarte; Sousa, Duarte; Cardoso, Américo; Ramos Cardoso, Américo; Rodrigues, Ana; Rodrigues, Ana; Noite, João; Lopes, Helder; Fernando, Catarina; Fernando, Catarina; Prudente, João; Prudente, João FilipeThe participation of parents in their children's sports is very important. However, many parents end up having negative and deviant behaviours in sports and social context, generating this participation some controversy and misunderstandings. With this study, we intend to assess the perception of the athletes about the behaviour of the parents in the sport context, considering the demographic characteristics of the athletes (gender and age). The sample is composed by young handball players from the Madeira Handball Association, aged 9-16 years of both sexes (n=284, male n=122, female n=162) registered by ten clubs and with a minimum of one year of organized sports practice. For the collection of data, a questionnaire previously constructed and duly validated was used. The results confirm the perception of the role of parents in supporting their children 's sports practices, as well as motivating them for the sport. There is also a perception of the young players of a pressure exerted by the parents in obtaining immediate results and little appreciation of the progress of learning.
