“…This is also important for places where there is a lack of equipment and material availability [3,29,33,37]. For instance, some Brazilian schools do not have enough mats to perform tests with elbows supported on the ground, and the changes in positions make the measure less feasible in classes with a large number of students and only one teacher [3,27,29,33,37] .…”

“…The school's gymnasium was under renovation, and the number of students at the school increased by 30% compared to 2018. It is worth noting that this is a school located in a vulnerable and low-income area [3,25,27,28,33]. The plank test is a measure created and adapted in the context of Brazilian physical education to meet this type of demand [3].…”

“…Additionally, the COVID-19 impacts on lifestyle and physical tness aspects were described in some studies [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. A complex Brazilian study about this period found that students lacked motivation in physical education due to uninteresting classes and disliking the lesson subject [23].…”

Objective: to assess the reliability of the core "Plank" test, investigate its correlation with abdominal resistance strength, and examine its longitudinal association before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in schoolchildren during the transition to adolescence. Methods: The initial sample included 221 students aged 6 to 11 years in 2018 (58.8% of boys). These same students were reevaluated between May and June 2023, at ages 11 to 16 years. The baseline assessments encompassed the Plank Isometric Test and the Abdominal Sit-up (Dynamic Strength test). Due to resource limitations, only the Plank test was conducted during the post-pandemic evaluation. To verify the reliability and reproducibility of the plank test, the two-way intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used, also correlation coefficients (r) were calculated. Results: The final sample comprised 130 boys and 91 girls, and the Plank test demonstrated high reliability for both genders, with ICC ranging from 0.623 to 0.869 for boys and 0.695 to 0.901 for girls, as well as high Cronbach's Alpha (α) values, indicating internal consistency. The results revealed significant correlations between the Plank Test and other physical fitness variables for both boys and girls. The Sit-Up test showed moderate positive correlations with the follow-up Plank Test in girls, while in boys, the correlation was weak and negative in the baseline evaluation but became moderate and positive when adjusted for age. Conclusion: The isometric plank strength test is highly reliable in children aged 6 to 16 years and can be used as an alternative measure to assess core strength in school-aged children. Additionally, there was a significant and strong relationship between the Plank Test and the abdominal sit-up strength-resistance test, which provides valuable insights for fitness assessment in this age group.

“…The most stressful aspect was when they imposed theoretical physical education classes, expecting us to provide feedback through questionnaires, written activities, and exams to prove our work during the pandemic. However, this type of class is not the most appropriate for elementary education (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) .…”

“…According to our conceptual and pedagogical understanding of our profession's responsibilities in schools, theoretical physical education classes for children and youth in a world where sedentary behavior is prevalent invite the development of diseases, reduce cognitive capacity, physical fitness, and health (2,8,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) . Moreover, they are demotivating and lack emotional significance for children and adolescents.…”

Sabemos que ainda para muitos profissionais é um desafio trabalhar com crianças/ pessoas com autismo, porém também é sabido que muito já se tem se construído acerca dos processos de diagnóstico e intervenções no que tange o espectro. Cada pessoa é única, e no caso da pessoa com autismo, esta premissa é sempre muito bem-vinda, pois revela que não existe um método ou uma receita de bola para intervir nestes casos. A escola e os profissionais de saúde a cada dia recebem mais crianças diagnosticados com autismo, e cabe a nós ofertar um tratamento e intervenções pedagógicas adequadas para cada criança/ aluno. Infelizmente percebe-se ainda nas instituições de ensino equipe pedagógica e corpo docente despreparado para a realidade de inclusão, que vai além de ofertar a vaga, mas sim a construção de um plano pedagógico que atenda verdadeiramente a criança/pessoa com autismo em suas necessitadas e potencialidades. Vivemos em um mundo excludente e preconceituoso, e para além disso, temos uma escola que ainda é arcaica e pouco dá espaço para novos fazeres e didáticas. A ausência de projetos de intervenções nas escolas para este público ainda alimenta a discriminação, o preconceito e a negação de uma escola para todos. Infelizmente muitos gestores confundem encaminhamentos para demais serviços com intervenção pedagógica, ou afirmam que a mesma deve ser de exclusividade apenas do professor. Uma escola inclusiva é aquela em que todos estão envolvidos no processo e que com compromisso e responsabilidade social, buscam constantemente novas formas e pedagogias para melhor atender o educando. Ainda sonhamos com um mundo inclusivo e com oportunidades para todos. Agradecemos aos pesquisadores que fizeram com que esta obra fosse finalizada, na tentativa de apontar caminhos para a inclusão.
