- Fair play: the perception of the young handball players on the parent´s behaviorPublication . Sousa, Duarte; Cardoso, Américo; Ramos Cardoso, Américo; Rodrigues, Ana; Noite, João; Lopes, Helder; Lopes, Helder; Fernando, Catarina; Prudente, João; Prudente, João FilipeIn recent years, the deviant and negative behaviours of parents during follow-up in their children's sports practice have reached alarming proportions in various sports. This increase may be associated with greater participation of parents, both in the presence in games and in training. With this study, we intend to assess the perception of the athletes about the behaviour of the parents in the sports context, namely in relation to fair play. The sample consisted of young handball players from the Madeira Handball Association, aged 9- 16 years of both genders (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 data collection, a questionnaire previously constructed and duly validated was used. In this study were used descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), chi square and Spearman correlations. The statistical program used was SPSS v.25.0 and the level of significance was 5%.The results confirm that the athletes consider positive the presence of their parents, however, the results point to a perception of inadequate behaviours of the parents regarding the referees, mainly by the boys. It was found that the younger the athletes are the greater is the perception of the enthusiastic support of the parents, the greater the volume of instructions to the field, and the perception of a greater emotional discontent of the parents in relation to the problems and incidents of the game and training.
- 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.
- Physical activity levels in adults with intellectual disabilities: the importance of physical educationPublication . Rodrigues, Ana José Aguiar; Rodrigues, Ana; Sousa, Duarte; Lopes, Helder; Lopes, Helder; Prudente, João; Prudente, João FilipeThe relationship between physical activity levels and health indicators is widely reported in the literature. However, the number of studies that characterize the physical activity profile in intellectually disabled adults is still small. The aims of this study are: (i) to determine the levels of physical activity in adults with intellectual disability, (ii) to study differences in physical activity levels between gender and between days with or without physical education. A total of 78 subjects (41 males and 37 females) with intellectual disability (mild and moderate), with a mean age of 30.18 ± 8.55 years, participated in the study. The physical activity levels were evaluated by pedometer (Yamax Digiwalkers SW-700), placed in two working days (one with Physical Education and another without Physical Education classes). There were reduced levels of physical activity in days with Physical Education (4865.21 ± 1611.04) and without (3739.22 ± 1243.34), clearly below the recommended values. Men were more active compared to women, but only on days with Physical Education (p <.05). In the days with Physical Education classes, there is a 24% increase in physical activity levels (27% in men and 20% in women). The performance of physical education classes seems to have benefic effects on physical activity levels, however, it is necessary to develop a study that helps to understand more deeply the factors that influence the levels of physical activity in this population.
- The importance of attitudes and values in sport and competition: the opinion of a group of coaches of volleyballPublication . Ximenes, Marcela Dantas; Rodrigues, Ana José Aguiar; Rodrigues, Ana; Silva, Jefferson Jurema; Prudente, João Filipe Pereira Nunes; Prudente, João FilipeBehaviours of children and young people in sport are influenced by the attitudes and behaviours of adults. Behaviours related to fair play, respect for others and rules, conveyed through coaches' example are important, at a time when young people are his own identity, tending to identify with figures such as coaches and where the maxim "does what I say and not what I do" does not work. The objective of the study was to identify the importance that coaches attribute to values and attitudes in sport, and to study the association between the trainer's biographical characteristics and the relevance of these values and attitudes in sport and competition. A total of 30 volleyball coaches (21 men and 9 women) were interviewed, with a mean age of 39.23 ± 10.57 years. To collect information on the selection criteria, we used the survey adapted from Cardoso, (2007). The study project was approved by the scientific committee of the Department of Physical Education and Sport and ethics committee of the State University of Amazonas. For the analysis of the data, mean and standard deviation statistics were used. In the normality of the variables, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used and the association between variables was the Chi-square test for qualitative variables and Spearman correlations in quantitative variables. T-Student was used to determine differences between groups in variables with normal distribution. Most of the Amazon coaches attach significant importance to all factors related to values and attitudes in sport and competition among young children.
- Volleyball selection process: how do coaches select?Publication . Ximenes, Marcela Dantas; Rodrigues, Ana José Aguiar; Rodrigues, Ana; Silva, Jefferson Jurema; Prudente, João Filipe Pereira Nunes; Prudente, João FilipeWhen it comes to children's sport, it is important to select these athletes in competitions, so that everyone has the opportunity to compete according to their level of development and abilities. The objective of this study was to analyse the selection process used by the coaches. The sample used was 30 volleyball coaches (21 men and 9 women), aged between 21 and 62 years (39.23 ± 10.57). In order to collect information on the selection criteria used, the study was adapted from Cardoso, (2007). The study project was approved by the scientific committee of the Department of Physical Education and Sport and ethics committee of the State University of Amazonas. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to analyse the data and the mean and standard deviation statistics were used. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used and the Chi-square test for qualitative variables and Spearman correlations were used in quantitative variables. T-Student was used to determine differences between groups, the Anova of repeated measures to analyse differences in the relevance attributed by the coaches to the criteria between different levels of training. The results showed relevant data such as the predominance of observation of physical education classes in children and youngsters (76.7% and 63.3%, respectively) and the application of tests in the levels of initiates and juveniles (40% and 50% % respectively). There were no divergences between the selection methods considering the characteristics of the trainer (p> 0.05)
- Methodological approach to evaluate interactive behaviors in team games: an example in handballPublication . Prudente, João; Garganta, Júlio; Anguera, M. Teresa; Prudente, João Filipebehaviors in Team Games, most precisely goalkeeper interaction with defenders. The aim of this study is to understand the performance of a handball goalkeeper, not only by the results of their own actions, but by integrating in the model the interactive actions between goalkeeper and defenders. The requirements of observational methodology are observed to gather data and we used sequential analysis and polar coordinates techniques to analyze data. The data are gathered from a natural environment where players have their behaviors, i.e., from handball matches in high level competitions context. Using an observational tool specially created and validated by an expert panel, the data was registered in a sequential way to make possible the sequential analysis with lags, prospective and retrospectively made. The results show the goalkeeper performance is significantly associated with defenders actions.
- Between kisses and bytes: cyber dating abuse and internet use in emerging adulthoodPublication . Saial, Ana Cristina; Portugal, Alda; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Nascimento, Paulo; Satar, Muhammad; Relvas, Ana Paula; Portugal, Alda; Gouveia, Élvio RúbioAbstract Emerging adults use the internet to connect with intimate partners, which can promote closeness but also increase vulnerability to abusive behavior, such as cyber dating abuse (CDA). In this study, we explored the use of the internet and information and communication technologies (ICT) and determined the prevalence of CDA among 105 emerging adults, with an average age of 23.2 years (SD = 3.65). Through an online cross-sectional study, our results indicate that emerging adults spend an average of 6.67 h a day online (SD = 3.34), with 37.6% communicating with their partner for more than 5 h daily via ICT. A high prevalence of CDA was observed: 62.9% victimization and 74.3% perpetration, with an emphasis on controlling behaviors. This study explores the relationship between problematic internet use (PIU) and CDA and highlights the normalization of CDA behaviours.
- When play gets serious: can a game-based mobile application serve as an intervention for preventing intimate partner violence among emerging adults?Publication . Saial, Ana Cristina; Rúbio, Élvio Gouveia; Portugal, Alda; Peres, Beatriz Jardim; Satar, Muhammad; Relvas, Ana Paula; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Portugal, AldaGames have been an approach used to facilitate increased knowl edge and changes in attitudes and behaviors related to well-being and mental health. However, the design and application of games to sensitive topics such as intimate partner violence (IPV) needs more exploration. Therefore, this 120-minute game-based work shop aims to analyze the perceptions collected from stakeholders (emerging adults aged 18-24; N=19) regarding the acceptability of using games and mobile applications to raise awareness of IPV, through a qualitative cross-sectional study. This research presents a preliminary study to inform the development of a game-based mobile intervention designed to increase knowledge and prevent IPV among emerging adults. This study contributes to a better un derstanding of the application of games to IPV among emerging adults, also highlighting the value of digital tools, such as mobile applications. More studies are needed on the design of games and digital tools that respond to the IPV problem. However, this work is still preliminary, and the insights gained from it will help to improve future work.
