INTRODUCTION Cross-cultural adaptations of questionnaires in developing countries, such as Brazil, have fostered a major debate involving the fields of economics, health, politics and culture. 1 Today, with the development and dissemination of the Guidelines for the Process of Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Self-Report Measures 2 and of the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN), 3 standardization of cross-cultural adaptation relating to culture, language and country is providing positive outcomes within scientific and clinical contexts. Within healthcare sciences, especially in the field of prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, it is common to use questionnaires to measure self-reported outcomes, mainly in relation to pain and functional disability. 4-6 Among the questionnaires for screening of musculoskeletal injuries, in addition to instruments that were created by researchers for specific evaluations, 7,8 the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) stands out through its widespread use for locating musculoskeletal pain in diverse populations. 9-12 However, the NMQ does not have a severity score, and it is not possible to use it to make inferences about functional disability. Therefore, as a way to fill this gap, the Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP) questionnaire was developed and published in 1999. This is an instrument created based

In the current study, we examined the relationship between serum creatine kinase (CK) activity following upper body resistance exercise with a 1- or 3-min rest between sets. Twenty men performed two sessions, each consisting of four sets with a 10-repetition maximum load. The results demonstrated significantly greater volume for the 3-min condition (M = 4156 kg, SD = 867, for 3 min; vs. M = 3503 kg SD = 759, for 1 min; p < .001), with no significant differences in delta CK activity between conditions (p = .574). Nevertheless, there was a weak correlation between the delta CK activity and total volume of exercise completed (r = .55 with a 1-min rest, and r = .45 with a 3-min rest). Therefore, the volume following upper body resistance exercise correlates weakly with serum CK levels, irrespective of rest interval length between sets.

Na atualidade, as mulheres ainda são estigmatizadas no âmbito esportivo, principalmente no que se refere a prática das Artes Marciais e Esportes de Combate (AM&EC). No contexto escolar, estudos científicos que tratam da interface entre Lutas e questões de gênero são escassos. Esta investigação buscou apontar a acepção dos alunos sobre a participação feminina nas aulas de Lutas na Educação Física. Os estudantes do 3º ano do ensino médio responderam à um questionário semiestruturado, antes e após, serem submetidos a seis encontros que envolviam aulas teóricas e aulas práticas subsequentemente, totalizando 140 minutos, cada encontro. O estudo ocorreu no Centro Educacional Dom Ungarelli, em Pinheiro-MA, numa sala de aula adaptada com Tatame e abrangeu 13 modalidades de Lutas. Os pais autorizaram-nos a participar, assinando o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido, sendo excluídos aqueles que não frequentaram 75% das aulas ou não responderam. Os resultados mostram que, preliminarmente, 150 estudantes que participaram do estudo, 120 consideraram negativa a participação das meninas, pelo risco de se machucarem; apenas 19 julgaram-nas capazes e 11 com direitos iguais aos meninos. Posteriormente, todos aprovaram-nas nas aulas de Lutas, 35 confirmaram a capacidade delas e 60 estudantes passaram a reconhecer como uma prática em que as meninas também tem direito de participar; e destacamos que 55 estudantes perceberam que as Lutas rompem o preconceito de gênero. Portanto, concluímos que o conteúdo Lutas pode ser uma importante ferramenta educacional no combate aos estereótipos e preconceitos.
