TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the level of knowledge of physical education professionals working in fitness centers, considering fulfilment of the criteria that make up the recommendation of aerobic and resistance exercise for the elderly, attaining only 9.3% and 12.6%, respectively.
Abstract: Introduction: Regular aerobic and resistance exercises are recommended to improve functional capacity and quality of life in the elderly. Objective: To describe the familiarity of physical education professionals with the recommendation of aerobic and resistance exercise for the elderly, and to identify associated factors. Methods: We assessed 610 physical education professionals working in fitness academies in the city of Sao Paulo. Familiarity with the recommendation was assessed using a questionnaire constructed for this study. We assessed the criteria that make up the recommendation of aerobic and resistance exercise, following the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines. The data analysis with statistical significance of p <0.05 was carried out using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Results: The level of knowledge of physical education professionals working in fitness centers, considering fulfilment of the criteria that make up the recommendation of aerobic and resistance exercise for the elderly, was limited, attaining only 9.3% and 12.6%, respectively. Age, number of jobs, completion of a graduate program and reading of scientific papers were factors associated with familiarity with the recommendation of resistance exercise. Factors associated with familiarity with aerobic exercise recommendation were: age, number of jobs and reading of scientific papers. Conclusion: The level of familiarity of physical education professionals with the recommendation of aerobic and resistance exercise for older people was low, suggesting the need for better professional training to meet the demand of older people at the fitness centers in the city of Sao Paulo. Level of Evidence I; Type of Study: Therapeutic Study - Investigation of Treatment Results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the autopercepção da imagem corporal and the desempenho físico entre idosos that realizam fisioterapia and sedentários.
Abstract: Introdução: Projeções apontam que a população idosa chegará a aproximadamente dois bilhões de pessoas no mundo em 2050. Esse número expressivo intensifica a necessidade de atenção especializada no processo de envelhecimento, que pode acarretar diversos declínios. A atividade física possui a capacidade de desacelerar processos de envelhecimento, melhorando, consequentemente, a percepção da imagem corporal, que é a representação mental do indivíduo sobre sua própria aparência física e que reflete em sua satisfação de vida. Objetivo: Comparar a autopercepção da imagem corporal e o desempenho físico entre idosos que realizam fisioterapia e idosos sedentários, como também a relação da atividade física com a satisfação da autopercepção corporal. Materiais e métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado de fevereiro a maio de 2019, com 28 idosos de idade ≥ 60 anos, sendo 12 do grupo ativo (realizavam atendimento fisioterapêutico a pelo menos 6 meses) e 16 do grupo sedentário (prestes a dar entrada no setor). Para avaliação, utilizou-se o Teste de Caminhada de 6 Minutos (TC6M), Escala de equilíbrio de Berg (EEB), Dinamômetro Manual de Jamar ®, Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) e Silhouette Matching Task (SMT). A metodologia utilizada foi de testes estatísticos que levaram aos seguintes resultados: no TC6M o nível de significância entre os grupos foi de 0,01 e no TUG foi 0,03, na EEB e na dinamometria não foram constatadas diferenças estatísticas, já no SMT os resultados foram de 0,02 no grupo de idosos sedentários. Conclusão: Idosos que realizam fisioterapia demonstram melhor mobilidade, capacidade funcional e autopercepção da imagem corporal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe and analyze the students' perception of the experience of creating and experiencing games in physical education classes and find that the feeling of happiness was present as well as the visibility gained by receiving praise from their colleagues.
Abstract: The purpose of this article was to describe and analyze the students' perception of the experience of creating and experiencing games in physical education classes. 56 students, between 8 and 10 years old, participated in a school in the city of Sao Paulo and two physical education teachers. The perceptions and reactions of students in this game creation project were obtained by two instruments: a) Observation of classes and construction of field diary and b) Collective dialogue with students at the end of the intervention, both analyzed qualitatively. In the students' reports, the feeling of happiness was present as well as the visibility gained by receiving praise from their colleagues. They also mentioned the challenge in mediating conflicts and postures in the group. A wide variety of learning forms are identified here due to the student's role as a result of this dialogical relationship between creating the game, communicating the game and experiencing the game.
