Level of technical-tactical performance of youth volleyball teams

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o nível de desempenho técnico-tático de jogadores de voleibol dos escalões de formação em Santa Catarina. Participaram no estudo 271 jogadores de 24 equipas de voleibol, finalistas do campeonato estadual de 2010, dos escalões mirim, infantil e infanto-juvenil. Os jogos foram filmados e, posteriormente, as ações técnico-táticas analisadas por meio do Instrumento de Avaliação do Desempenho Técnico-Tático no Voleibol. Na análise dos dados foram utilizadas a estatística descritiva e inferencial através do Programa SPSS versão 23, para apresentar os níveis de desempenho dos jogadores e associá-los com o género e o escalão competitivo. No desempenho global, os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos jogadores apresentou nível adequado de desempenho técnico-tático, com destaque para as componentes ajustamento e eficiência. Nas componentes tomada de decisão e eficácia, a maioria dos jogadores apresentou níveis intermediários de desempenho, com resultados semelhantes quando consideradas os diferentes escalões e géneros. Conclui-se que, por se tratar de escalões de formação, as componentes táticas poderão ser aperfeiçoadas a partir das vivências com a modalidade, melhorando a qualidade e a velocidade na tomada de decisão, fatores que influenciam diretamente a eficácia do jogador.

The aim of study was to analyze the level of technical-tactical performance of young volleyball players from Santa Catarina state. The 271 participants were from 24 volleyball teams U-15, U16 and U-17 that played the finals of 2010 Santa Catarina State Championship. The games were recorded and the technical-tactical actions were analyzed through the Technical-Tactical Assessment-Instrument in Volleyball. For data analysis we used descriptive and inferential statistics available on SPSS Program version 23 in order to present the performance levels of the players and associate them with gender and competitive level. Overall, the results showed that most of the players had adequate levels of technical-tactical performance, highlighting the components adjustment and efficiency. Most of the players revealed intermediary levels on decision-making and efficacy components. The scores were similar considering different competitive level and gender. To conclude, considering that study occurred with athletes in development, the tactical components can be enhanced by the sport´s practice, improving the quality and the velocity of decision-making and consequently the player´s efficacy.

Factors associated with body image dissatisfaction in Portuguese adolescents: obesity, sports activity and TV watching

This cross-sectional study intended to determine the prevalence of body image dissatisfaction and associated factors in Portuguese adolescents (N=529, 10-18 years, 53.7% male and 46.3% female). The prevalence of body dissatisfaction (estimated through Collins's silhouettes) was 58%. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that the variables associated were: obesity, watch TV over 2 hours/day and practice sport activities 4 or more days/week. In male, obesity and watch TV over 2 hours/day were related to body dissatisfaction and among female only obesity had statistical significance. It is necessary to considered different public health interventions for men and women in order to reduce this high body image dissatisfaction.

Profile characterization of young soccer players: an analysis of the technical skills and anthropometric variables

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as variáveis antropométricas, maturação biológica e as características técnicas de jovens futebolistas. 151 jogadores das categorias de base foram avaliados para estatura, massa corporal e dobras cutâneas, Pico de Velocidade de Crescimento (PVC) e testes específicos. Foram encontradas diferenças de sub-09 à sub-13 para % de gordura, e sub-09 a sub-14 para estatura, massa corporal, massa gorda e passe à parede. O PVC foi diferente entre as categorias sub-09 a sub-16. Ademais, diferenças foram encontradas entre o sub-09 a sub-13 para condução de bola, e sub-09 a sub-15 no controle de bola. Conclui-se que a antropometria, a maturação biológica e a habilidade técnica podem ser influenciadas pelo crescimento e desenvolvimento inerentes à infância e adolescência.

The objective of this study was to verify the anthropometric variables, biological maturation and technical characteristics of young soccer players. 151 players in the lower grades were evaluated for height, body mass and skinfold, Growth Rate Peak (PVC) and specific tests. Differences in sub-09 to under-13 for% fat were found, and under-09 to under-14 to height, body mass, fat mass and pass the wall. PVC was different between the categories under-09 to under-16. In addition, there were differences between the sub-09 to under-13 for ball driving and sub-09 to U-15 in ball control. It is concluded that the anthropometry, maturation and technical skill may be influenced by the growth and development inherent in childhood and adolescence.

Interaction between age, education, time of institutionalization and physical exercise in the cognitive function and depression in the elderly

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito e interação entre a idade, escolaridade, institucionalização e exercício físico na função cognitiva e depressão em Idosos. Foi utilizada uma amostra constituída por 39 idosos institucionalizados (33 mulheres e 6 homens), com idades compreendidas entre os 64-96 anos (82.13±6.66). Os instrumentos de avaliação utilizados foram: Mini Mental State Examination, Escala de Depressão Geriátrica, Matrizes Progressivas Coloridas de Raven e um questionário sociodemográfico. Para verificar o efeito e a interação entre variáveis, foi aplicado o modelo geral linear, introduzindo como covariável o tempo de institucionalização, e como variáveis fator a idade (<85 anos; ≥85 anos), a escolaridade (analfabetos; 1ºciclo) e a prática de exercício. Os resultados demonstraram um efeito significativo do tempo de institucionalização (p= 0.003) na depressão; e da escolaridade na função cognitiva (p= 0.030). Os resultados da interação escolaridade x idade foram significativos na função cognitiva (p= 0.010) e na capacidade intelectual (p= 0.032). Os indivíduos mais velhos e com nível de escolaridade superior apresentaram resultados mais elevados na função cognitiva e na capacidade intelectual. Podemos concluir que em idosos mais velhos, a escolaridade é a variável mais determinante da função cognitiva, enquanto a depressão depende do tempo de institucionalização.

The purpose of this study was verifying the effect and interaction between age, schooling, institutionalisation and physical exercise in the cognitive function and depression in the elderly. The study comprised 39 institutionalized senior citizens (33 females and 6 males) aged between 64 and 96 (82.13±6.66). We used as evaluation tools: Mini Mental State Examination, Geriatric Depression Scale, Ravens Coloured Progressive Matrices and a socio-demographic questionnaire. In order to understand the effect and interaction between variables we used the General Linear Model, introducing the time of institutionalization as a co-variable, and age (<85 years; ≥85 years), schooling (illiterate; 1st cycle of basic education) and physical exercise as variables. The results revealed a statistically significant difference regarding the time of institutionalization when dealing with depression (p= 0.003); and regarding schooling in the cognitive function (p= 0.030). Also, results concerning schooling versus age were significantly different in the cognitive function (p= 0.010) and intellectual ability (p= 0.032). Older individuals with higher levels of education presented superior results regarding the cognitive function and intellectual ability. We can thus infer that when it comes to older seniors schooling is the most decisive variable of the cognitive function, while depression depends on the time of institutionalization.

Motor delays in socioeconomically disadvantaged children: A Bioecological look

Apoiado no Modelo Bioecológico, o objetivo do estudo foi investigar como os processos proximais eram conduzidos para desenvolver as habilidades motoras fundamentais nos microssistemas escola e projetos sociais esportivos e, verificar se a competência motora das crianças nessas habilidades motoras direcionava seu engajamento em outros contextos (intercâmbio social). Crianças do Ensino Fundamental I de um município localizado no Semiárido do Brasil foram avaliadas através do Test of Gross Motor Development-2. A investigação do contexto de desenvolvimento e dos processos proximais realizou-se por meio de observação assistemática não participante e entrevistas a professores de educação física em diferentes escolas e comunidades. As entrevistas foram analisadas mediante o uso do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Os resultados evidenciam uma prevalência de 100 % de atrasos motores; desempenhos mais pobres foram evidenciados por meninas e em crianças não assistidas por programas sociais esportivos. A carência de aulas de educação física na escola e de propostas pedagógicas para promover o desenvolvimento de habilidades motoras foi observada no contexto, contribuindo para os atrasos detetados. Os microssistemas escolas e programas sociais são influenciados pela omissão do poder público (exo e macrosistemas), repercutindo no desempenho das crianças investigadas.

Supported on the bioecological model, the aim of this study was to investigate how the proximal processes to develop the fundamental motor skills in the microsystems of schools and sport social programs were conducted; and, if children motor competency in those motor skills would guide their engagement in other contexts (community and social activities exchanges).Elementary school children from a Brazilian semiarid were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2. The investigations of the developmental context as well as the proximal process were conducted throughout non-participant and non-systematic observations and interviews with the physical education teachers from different schools and communities. The interviews were analyzed using the collective subject discourse. The results showed prevalence of 100% of motor delays; poorer performance was observed among girls and children that did not attended to social sport programs. The lack of physical education classes and pedagogical program to promote the development of motor skills were context observed, possibly contributing to the detected delays. The Microsystems schools and social programs are influenced by the omission of the public administration (exo e macro systems) reflecting in children performance.

Effects of active video games training in the morphological and functional dimensions: randomized clinical trial

O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar o efeito de programas de treinamento com videogames ativos (VGAs) estruturados e não estruturados sobre a composição corporal e desempenho nos testes de aptidão física durante seis semanas. Participaram do estudo 20 homens, os quais foram divididos homogeneamente em três grupos: Grupo controle - GC (n=7; 20.6 ± 2.8 anos), Grupo Experimental Estruturado -GET (n=6; 20.2 ± 2.1 anos) e Grupo Experimental Não estruturado GEN (n=7; 19,1 ± 1,2 anos). O programa com VGAs foi realizado três sessões por semana (30 minutos cada) durante seis semanas. Houve melhoras significativas nos testes de apoio de frente (GET p=0.02), flexibilidade (GEN: p=0.04 e GET: p=0.01) e preensão manual (GEN: p=0.05). E apenas o GEN aumentou significativamente o percentual de gordura (p=0.05) e massa gorda (p=0.01). Conclui-se que após seis semanas de treinamento com VGAs, os dois grupos experimentais apresentaram manutenção na massa magra e aumento no nível de aptidão física.

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of training programs with active video games (AVGs) structured and unstructured on body composition and performance in the physical fitness tests during six weeks. Study participants were 20 men who were evenly divided into three groups: Control Group - CG (n = 7; 20.6 ± 2.8 years), Experimental Structured Group -GET (n = 6; 20.2 ± 2.1 year) and Experimental Unstructured Group - GEN (n = 7; 19.1 ± 1.2 years). The AVGs program was performed three times a week (thirty minutes each) during six weeks. There were significant improvements in the front support testing (GET p = 0.02), flexibility (GEN: p = 0.04 and GET: p = 0.01) and handgrip (GEN p = 0.05). And only GEN increased significantly the fat percentage (p = 0.05) and fat mass (p = 0.01). After six weeks of each parallel AVGs training, these two groups presented maintenance in lean mass and increase in the level of physical fitness.

Life Spatiotemporal constraints on the decision-making of type of kick in the soccer goal area

O presente estudo investigou a tomada de decisão da trajetória da bola e da superfície de contato do pé com a bola no remate do futebol. Foram filmados 12 jogos de futebol de um campeonato amador na Colômbia. Participaram no estudo 150 jogadores do sexo masculino, com idade entre 17 e 38 anos, e experiência de prática neste esporte de, no mínimo, 7 anos. As imagens capturadas foram analisadas através do software TACTO, e as variáveis espácio-temporais consideradas para análise foram as seguintes: I) ângulo de remate; II) distância entre o atacante e o defensor (interpessoal), III) distância entre o defensor e a baliza (extrapessoal); IV) velocidade e variabilidade de cada uma dessas medidas. Essas variáveis foram analisadas em relação a situações de remates com trajetórias retilíneas e parabólicas da bola, assim como, com a parte interna e peito do pé. Os resultados revelaram que a escolha da trajetória da bola foi influenciada pelas variáveis ângulo de remate e distância interpessoal. Além disso, a escolha da superfície de contato foi influenciada pela variabilidade da distância extrapessoal. Concluiu-se que as escolhas da trajetória da bola e da superfície de contato do remate são influenciadas pela interação espacial entre os jogadores.

This study investigated the soccer players decision-making of kicking using different ball trajectories and different foot-ball contact surfaces. Soccer kick events from 12 games of an amateur Colombian championship were selected and analysed using TACTO software. Participants included 150 male players aged between 17-38 years possessing at least 7 years of experience. The spatiotemporal variables considered were: the angle of the kick, the distance between the attacker and the defender (interpersonal) and between the defender and the goal (extra personal), and also the velocity and variability of each variable. The analysis included rectilinear and parabolic ball trajectories shots, and inside of the foot and instep kicks. The results revealed that the choice of kicking using a rectilinear or parabolic trajectory was influenced by the angle of the kick and the interpersonal distance. Inside of the foot or instep kicks were chosen depending on the variability of the extra personal distance. The findings highlight that the choice of kicking using different ball trajectories and different parts of the foot is influenced by spatial interactions between players.

Motor performance indicators as fragility predicts in elderly registered in a Family Health Unit

Este estudo objetivou identificar os testes de desempenho motor mais fortemente associados à fragilidade e seus respectivos pontos de corte, e verificar o melhor indicador de desempenho motor como instrumento de triagem para discriminar fragilidade em idosos cadastrados em Unidade de Saúde da Família. Participaram da pesquisa 139 idosos com idade ≥60 anos, sendo 105 mulheres e 34 homens. A fragilidade foi identificada por meio dos critérios de Fried et al. (2001). Os testes de desempenho motor realizados foram: Força de preensão manual (FPM), sentar e levantar, caminhada (TC) e pegar um lápis. A análise de regressão logística foi usada para associar os testes de desempenho motor e fragilidade. Os pontos de corte foram avaliados por parâmetros fornecidos pela curva Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), com nível de significância de 5%. Os dados foram analisados usando SPSS 21.0 e MedCalc. A média de idade dos idosos foi de 72.32 ±8.4 anos. O teste de caminhada foi positivamente associado à fragilidade (OR 1,30; p<0.01), e a força de preensão manual foi inversamente associada à fragilidade no sexo feminino (OR 0.74; p<0.001). O TC apresentou um ponto de corte 5s (sensibilidade 88,9 e especificidade 74,5%) e a FPM-F obteve um ponto de corte de 14.6 kgf (sensibilidade 83.3 e especificidade 79.0%). Conclui-se que o teste de caminhada foi o melhor indicador de triagem para discriminar a fragilidade em idosos, de ambos os sexos, cadastrados em uma Unidade de Saúde da Família.

This study aimed to identify the motor performance tests more strongly associated with frailty and respective cut-off points, and verify the best motor performance indicator as screening tool to discriminate frailty in elderly registered in Family Health Unit. Participated in the study 139 elderly aged ≥60 years, 105 women and 34 men. The frailty was identified by the criteria of Fried et al. (2001). The motor performance tests realized were: Handgrip strength (HS), sit-to-stand test, walk test (WT) and pick up a pen test. Logistic regression analysis was used to associate the motor performance tests and frailty. The cutoff points were evaluated by parameters provided by Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC), with significance level of 5%. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and MedCalc. The mean age was 72.32 ± 8.4. The walk test was positively associated with frailty (OR 1.30; p <0.01), and handgrip strength in elderly women was inversely associated with frailty on feminine sex (OR 0.74; p <0.001). The WT presented a cutoff 5s (sensitivity 88.9 and specificity 74.5%) and the handgrip in the women obtained a cutoff point 14.6 kgf (sensitivity 83.3 and specificity 79.0%). It was concluded that the walk test was the best screening indicator to discriminate the frailty in elderly, both sexes, registered in a Family Health Unit.

Flotation Devices in Swimming Lessons for Children: an Interventionist Study

Objetivou-se analisar a influência da utilização de flutuadores colocados nos braços sobre a aquisição de habilidades aquáticas em crianças (mediana da idade, em meses, de 40 ± 4.1). Elas foram divididas em dois grupos: aulas de natação com flutuadores (CFlut, n = 8) e sem flutuadores (SFlut, n = 9) e avaliadas com a Escala de Erbaugh de desempenho motor aquático, pré e pós-intervenção de oito semanas. Relatórios descritivos foram redigidos com informações sobre comportamento das crianças ao longo da intervenção e dificuldades encontradas pelo professor. Em relação à análise geral das tarefas, os grupos não apresentaram diferenças, no entanto, o grupo SFlut apresentou melhores resultados nas tarefas de deslocamento e saltos. A ausência de flutuadores pode ter gerado melhor percepção das forças que atuam na água.

It was aimed to analyze the influence of arms floats devices use in the acquisition of aquatic skills in children (median of age, in months, 40 ± 4.1). They were divided in two groups: swimming classes with floats (CFlut, n = 8) and without floats (SFlut, n = 9). They were evaluated by Erbaugh Scale of aquatic motor performance, pre and post-intervention of eight weeks. Descriptive reports were made with information about children behavior during the intervention period and difficulties encountered by the teacher. No differences were found between groups when compared for the overall analysis of the tasks; however the SFlut group had better results in the shifts and jumps into the water tasks. The floats absence may have generated better understanding of the forces in the water.

Acute effect of treadmill training with auditory stimulation on gait kinematic parameters and mobility in Parkinsonians

O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar o efeito agudo da marcha em esteira com estímulo auditivo sobre parâmetros cinemáticos da marcha e mobilidade em Parkinsonianos. Participaram 14 indivíduos com Parkinsonismo idiopático, os quais foram divididos em 2 grupos: grupo intervenção e grupo controle. Foi realizada avaliação, composta por dois testes que avaliam a mobilidade funcional, nomeados Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) e Timed up and go (TUG); avaliação da velocidade de marcha através do teste de 10 metros e análise do comprimento de passo em um circuito de 16 metros, em seguida os participantes foram submetidos a uma sessão de marcha em esteira, sendo o grupo intervenção com auxílio de estímulos sonoros e o grupo controle sem estímulos. Ao final da intervenção os indivíduos foram reavaliados. Os resultados mostraram que ambos os grupos apresentaram melhora da mobilidade no teste TUG (p=0.003), da velocidade de marcha no teste de 10 metros (p=0.004) e do comprimento de passo (p=0.029), porém não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos. O SPPB não apresentou diferença significativa após o protocolo de marcha (p=0.118). Conclui-se que uma sessão de marcha em esteira foi efetiva na melhoria dos parâmetros cinemáticos da marcha e mobilidade em estudo, porém a associação do estímulo auditivo não influenciou as variáveis analisadas.

The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of treadmill training with auditory stimulation on gait kinematic parameters and mobility in Parkinsonians. Participants were 14 individuals with idiopathic Parkinsonism, which were divided into 2 groups: intervention and control group. All patients were assessed through two tests that assess functional mobility, named Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Timed up and go (TUG); gait speed evaluation by the 10 meters test; and analysis of the step length on a 16-meter circuit, then participants were subjected to a treadmill gait session, intervention group with sound stimuli support and control group without stimuli. At the end of the intervention subjects were reassessed. The results showed that both groups improved mobility in the TUG test (p=0.003), gait speed in the 10 meters test (p=0.004) and step length (p=0.029), but there was no statistical difference between groups. The SPPB did not change significantly after the gait protocol (p=0.118). It is concluded that one treadmill gait session was effective in improving the gait kinematic parameters and mobility study, but the combination of auditory stimuli did not significantly changed the analyzed variables.

A comparative study of the mastery of fundamental movement skills between different cultures

It has been suggested that guidance, encouragement and opportunity are crucial factors for childrens motor development. They are especially important to promote the mastery of fundamental movement skills. The present study investigated the association between two elements related to those factors - proposed curriculum of physical education and the most popular sport in a given country - and the incidence of mastery in the FMS in children from 4 to 10 years of age. In order to carry out a cross-cultural comparison, three studies from different countries (Portugal, China and USA) that used TGMD-II were selected. The results indicated association between proposed curriculum and the number of children mastering FMS. This association increases in older age groups of children from USA, the most structured curriculum related to FMS, presenting the highest average percentage of mastery. Additionally, we did not find association of the most popular sports in a given country with the mastery of the related skill. These results are interpreted as evidence for the importance of guidance on the mastery of FMS.

Anaerobic fitness assessment in taekwondo athletes: A new perspective

We intended to determine the concurrent validity of a taekwondo specific anaerobic test (TSAT) to assess anaerobic fitness in taekwondo athletes. Seventeen elite male subjects (17.59 ± 4.34 years of age; 1.72 m ± .07 m in height; 61.3 kg ± 8.7 kg in weight and 15.6% ± 8.5% in body fat) performed a TSAT, which consisted of kicking a punching bag for 30 seconds. The standard test was the Wingate Anaerobic Test. Two trials were made for both tests and the agreement between both was tested. The variables analysed and compared were: peak power; relative peak power; mean anaerobic power; relative mean anaerobic power; fatigue index and anaerobic capacity. The number of kicks performed in the TSAT protocol and the maximum height of the counter movement jump (CMJ) were also registered. Trial I and II had significant ICC results in all variables (P = .000) ranged between 0.56 and 0.97. Both protocols were significantly correlated (r = 0.55 to 0.88; P = .000 to .05). CMJ strongly correlated with the number of techniques (r=0.59; P = .013) and the mean power (r = 0.56; P = .019) of the TSAT. The variables between the two methods correlate and are consistent, except for the anaerobic capacity that although correlated, is not consistent with constant bias, P = 0.001; CI]-705.1;-370.2[. TSAT has a level of agreement with the Wingate, and assigns specificity in the evaluation of these variables.

Non-invasive postural assessment of the spine in the sagittal plane: a systematic review

The objective of this review was to examine the scientific evidence regarding the aspects of validation in non-invasive methods of assessing the spine in the sagittal plane. A systematic search was conducted in following data bases Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed and Medline. To be included the papers must have: conducted a non-invasive assessment of thoracic kyphosis and/or lumbar lordosis; evaluated at least one aspect of validity; been written in English; and been published in the previously three decades. Papers that score less than three in the QUADAS scale were excluded. Initially, 70 articles were pre-selected. Of this, 52 were finally included as they met the quality criterion. Based on this review, the following techniques/instruments were found to present satisfactory results for all aspects of validity in the assessment of thoracic kyphosis: photogrammetry, flexible ruler, archometer, and DeBrunnerskyphometer. Similarly, photogrammetry, inclinometer, flexible ruler, archometer and kypholordometer were found to present satisfactory results in the assessment of lumbar lordosis. Therefore, it is suggested that these instruments be adopted as first choice for evaluating the spine in the sagittal plane, since they present adequate reproducibility and concurrent validity.
