Nível de concentração e precisão de árbitros de futebol ao longo de uma partida

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess whether there are differences in the level attention focused and accuracy judges of soccer referee during the soccer match. For this purpose, the sample was composed of eight male referees accredited by the Paulista Football Federation, who officiate official matches of the U-20 Paulista championship in 2003. The test used was Concentrated Attention - Toulouse Pieron, which is designed to measure the speed and accuracy when performing simple tasks of identifying squares, perceptual in nature, without resorting to intellectual functions. The tests were recorded in real time during matches with a digital cam HANDYCAMTM model DCR. The chi-square test showed a significant difference between decisions taken in the first 30 minutes of the second half of the game when compared to the final fifteen minutes (p = 0.003). The test t-paired showed significant difference to the speed of concentration before and after the game (p = 0.005), was not significant for the concentration quality (p = 0.209). It was observed that the referees showed fewer tendencies to make mistake in the final fifteen minutes of the game and had higher test speed in concentration after the game, not going to the same concentration quality.

Sedentary lifestyle in adolescents is associated with impairment in autonomic cardiovascular modulation

Abstract: Introduction Regular physical exercise, or a more active lifestyle, are important to prevent cardiovascular diseases, reducing not only cardiovascular mortality but also promoting a reduction in the risk factors related to these diseases. Objective To assess the association between physical inactivity and heart rate variability (HRV) in adolescents. Methods This was a cross-sectional study of the Diagnostic Type with Level of Evidence II according to the Oxford table. One hundred and twenty-nine adolescents were evaluated, aged 15 and 17 years old, divided into four groups: male teenagers who were insufficiently active (IAM n = 28) or physically active (FAM n = 29), and female teenagers who were insufficiently active (IAF n = 42) or physically active (FAF n = 30). The level of physical activity was assessed by the IPAQ. The HRV was evaluated in the time and frequency domains. Results Reduced pulse interval variance was observed in the insufficiently active male or female groups (5089 ± 378 ms2 and 4335 ± 276 ms2 respectively) compared to the physically active groups (9106 ± 606 ms2 and 6182 ± 366 ms2 respectively). Moreover, the insufficiently active groups presented higher cardiac sympathetic/vagal balance values (0.81 ± 0.05 and 0.80 ± 0.05 respectively) compared to the physically active groups (0.63 ± 0.05 and 0.55 ± 0.05 respectively). Conclusion A physically active lifestyle was associated with better cardiovascular autonomic modulation in adolescents. Level of Evidence II; Diagnostic Studies - Investigating a Diagnostic Test.

Estudo controlado da influência da atividade física em fatores de risco para doenças crônicas em indivíduos lesados medulares paraplégicos do sexo masculino

Abstract: O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar alguns parâmetros bioquimicos e de avaliacao nutricional, indicativo de risco de doencas cronicas em individuos lesados medulares com idade entre 18 e 45 anos. Foram avaliados 28 individuos divididos em dois grupos: praticantes de exercicio fisico (N=16) e sedentarios (N=12). Utilizou-se para analise a avaliacao do consumo alimentar, da composicao corporal e alguns parâmetros bioquimicos. Todos os parâmetros avaliados foram comparados atraves do teste t-student para variaveis independentes, assumindo como significativo o valor a < 0,05. O grupo sedentario apresentou uma tendencia a sobrepeso, a glicose plasmatica correlacionou-se com a adiposidade. No entanto, nao houve diferenca significativa entre a estimativa do gasto energetico basal e a ingestao calorica, o que sugere alteracao das necessidades energeticas. Ambos os grupos apresentaram valores diminuidos para a concentracao plasmatica de HDL-C e observou-se desbalanco na ingestao dos macronutrientes. Conclui-se que as formulas preditivas do gasto energetico basal superestimam os valores em lesados medulares, principalmente no grupo sedentario. A adequacao da dieta deve ser instituida independente de fatores de risco presentes. Futuros trabalhos poderiam estabelecer protocolos de avaliacao para este grupo populacional. Enquanto isso nao acontece, os metodos de avaliacao continuam incompletos e incertos.

La percepción de los gestores sobre los objetivos del deporte en los municipios

Abstract: The purpose of this inventory was to characterize the profile of sports managers from cities belonging to an intermunicipal consortium in the state of São Paulo and to know their view on the objectives of the sport in the city. A qualitative research was carried out, with the participation of 12 sports managers belonging to the Union of the municipalities of Media Sorocabana, in São Paulo. Semi-structured, recorded and audio and transcribed interviews were performed. For the analysis of these interviews, the Content Analysis technique was used. It was possible to verify that the profile of the municipal sports managers is similar to that identified in other studies. Also it is verified the existence of a culture that disregards the professional skills and abilities for the sport management, inherent to the sport organizations. In their interviews, managers claim that sport in their cities aims to contribute to social inclusion, improve health and quality of life, identify new talent for sports and democratize access to sports practices. We realize that some of the proposed objectives cannot be achieved only with the practice of sports, but that they depend on the elaboration of a public policy that integrates different municipal secretariats.
