Objetivou-se categorizar as sessões de aula via TGfU e TGfU+CM para determinar a consistência da aplicação dos conteúdos dos modelos de ensino e analisar o impacto do desempenho tático-técnico de escolares iniciantes da modalidade de handebol, após o programa de ensino. A amostra compôs-se de 43 sujeitos (14,3±0,46), divididos em dois grupos (G1 - TGfU e G2 - TGfU+CM), sendo que ambos receberam unidades didáticas de 20 sessões de aula com a mesma duração. A categorização das aulas trouxe fidedignidade a aplicação dos programas de ensino empregados e, após a intervenção pelo TGfU, apenas o sexo masculino apresentou melhoras em ambos os grupos na performance de jogo, apresentando TE grande para o G2 (0,610) e TE médio para o G1 (0,487). Quanto à análise entre grupos não se encontrou diferença significativamente estatística após a intervenção para nenhuma das variáveis do estudo. Conclui-se, por meio do teste de aderência, que os programas de ensino aplicados aos dois grupos experimentais foram semelhantes, modificando apenas a inserção do conteúdo de coordenação motora para o G2, sendo ambos capazes de proporcionar melhoras significativas para o sexo masculino, considerando o efeito tempo para o desempenho tático-técnico.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the level of tactical knowledge of a high-performance tennis team, considering gender, age, category, and year in the category, years of practice and participation in competitions. There was also a subjective evaluation by two coaches on the level of athletic performance of their athletes, as well as that of the athletes themselves. In the sample, there were 37 athletes, 23 men and 14 women at ages between 11 and 18 years old (14.10 ± 1.90). In order to determine the level of athletic performance of the athletes, the test of declarative tactical knowledge (DTK) in tennis was used. The variables to differentiate the level of tactical performance were gender (female achieved better scores: p=0.004, F = 2.242), the category (better scores for 18 years old compared to 12 years old: p=0.007, F= 4.223) and the experience in state competitions (p = 0.042, F = 3.059). It was observed that 73% of the tennis teams had their level of tactical performance, via DTK, classified as good or very good. In the subjective evaluation, the coach underestimated the tactical level of 48.6% of his athletes, while 75.7% of the athletes overestimated their own knowledge. In this study, it was verified that factors like gender, category and experience in state competitions differentiated the level of tactical performance.

This study aimed to validate the content of items regarding an instrument of assessment of substantive contents, its organization and forms of practice, and pedagogical feedback in swimming sessions by the use of the coefficient of content validity (CVC). This analysis encompass the validation of instruments in a theoretical way, which has generated a grid of occurrences on items related to pedagogical knowledge of teaching and learning contents in swimming sessions. Three examiners took part in the sample. The three of them hold active experience of at least ten years in the teaching of swimming and have assessed 31 items according to the agreement related to criteria of clarity of language, practical relevance, theoretical relevance, and dimension. According to the minimum accepted agreement for the CVCi?0.7, three items from the grid were excluded, for they presented results under the expected regarding practical and theoretical relevance. Then, a new CVCtotal was measured, considering the 28 remaining items. CVCtotal was satisfactory in the three criteria, which demonstrated that the items were described clearly, they are adequate for the teaching and learning of swimming, and indicate to be in compliance with the competences the coach must have on the pedagogical knowledge when it comes to swimming. Subdivided in the dimensions of: nature of the task, organization and types of practice, pedagogical feedback and its subdimensions (objective, type, direction, and reference), the 28 items will pedagogically assist the swimming coach as to contents, organization of practice, and feedback.

This study investigated the impact of a handball-teaching program through the understanding of the TGfU on motor coordination (MC) and technical skills of students. Methods: The sample consisted of 43 students of both genders, with a mean age of 14.3 years (± 0.46), divided into two groups, G1 -Teaching Games of Understanding (TGfU) and G2 -TGfU + MC, and both received 20 classes. We used the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK) for the assessment of MC and the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) for technical skills in handball. Results:The categorization confirmed the reliability of the application of teaching programs and the results showed that, after the intervention, both groups presented meaningful improvements in MC, considering time and gender effect. The female students presented a larger impact on MC in both teaching programs, while the male students obtained a larger impact in the technical skill execution index when received the TGfU + MC model. Still, the relative frequency for the classification of a good MC increased in both groups after the intervention, and the normal MC was the one with the highest frequency in both groups and genders after the proposed program. Conclusion: We concluded that the teaching program was able to provide meaningful improvements in MC considering both groups and that the proposal of the inclusion of specific MC elevated the impact of technical skills for male students.

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar o nível de (in)satisfação corporal e o percentual de gordura de mulheres praticantes do treinamento em circuito. A amostra constituiu-se por 110 mulheres com faixa etária entre 12 e 60 anos. Utilizou-se a silhuetas Stunkard para a identificação das silhuetas atual e desejada e a bioimpedância On- Rom 2006 para análise do percentual de gordura. Verificou-se que as mulheres desejam silhuetas menos volumosas e que, em todos os agrupamentos por idade, a maioria das mulheres se encontrava em sobrepeso e insatisfeitas com sua imagem corporal. Verificou-se também, associação entre o percentual de gordura e a (in)satisfação corporal (p=0,025) e que, mesmo as mulheres consideradas eutróficas desejam silhuetas menores que a atual.
