Background: The covid-19 lockdown demands several spaces for physical exercise to be closed. However, physical exercise produces physical and mental health benefits and an adequate health state. Home-based resistance training emerges as a viable alternative. We report a case of the effects of home-based resistance training on the visceral fat area in a middle-aged woman during the covid-19 lockdown. Methods: One middle-aged woman (42 years old; body mass = 53.3kg; Height = 1.61m; Body mass index = 20.6kg/m2) carried out a home-based resistance training program in a city in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The visceral fat area was analyzed through bioimpedance. Results: There was a decrease in visceral fat area, in a large magnitude (baseline = 85.9cm2 vs. follow-up = 71.3cm2; ∆%=-17%). The home-based resistance training program was effective in decreasing the visceral fat area of a middle-aged woman. Conclusions: Therefore, it is concluded that the home training program with few resources can enable the reduction of visceral fat area.

The purpose of this study was to understand the teaching formation in Physical Education and its different aspects developed during initial training.Method:a bibliographical survey ofbooks andcientificarticles was carried out. For this,thekeywords“Teacher training”, “professionaltraining” and “physical education”, were used exclusively in Portuguese language.The focus of the bibliographic research was the survey of authors who discuss the thematic of teacher education in Physical Education. Results:It was identified that teaching formal higher education aims to ensure the training of teachers to work in the environment social so that they can assist students in developing their intellectual ability. Thus, training in Physical Education has the duty to subsidize theoretical and practical content to future teachers for transformative teaching during the educational process.The focus aspects during initial training are “the relationship between theory and practice "," the role of self-assessment in the teaching construct ","constant update", "beginning and path of teaching","convergence between technical and applied training". Conclusion:It is necessary during teacher training to develop an understanding of the future teachers values, such as feelings, emotions, the desire to overcome insecurity. That is, It is necessary to stimulatecritical reflection on the practice of the future physical education teacher. it is necessary to encourage the teacher to think critically to better develop the educational process.
