“…Por sua vez, a Educação Física de qualidade é meio crucial para crianças e adolescentes adquirirem as habilidades, atitudes, valores, conhecimentos, a compreensão e apreciação relacionadas à cultura corporal, aspectos que são necessários para sua participação em atividade física e/ou no Esporte ao longo da vida e, na sociedade de forma geral 11 . Porém, nesses quesitos, alguns dados, deixando claros os desafios, nos convidam à reflexão.…”

Apresentamos os desafios e perspectivas envolvendo Direitos Humanos, Esporte e a Educação Física como agentes promotores da dignidade da pessoa humana. Valemo-nos dos principais documentos basilares do tema em questão e apontamos a necessidade do fortalecimento da educação em Direitos Humanos para viabilizar a construção de saberes capazes de desenvolver uma cultura de respeito aos DH e legitimar a luta pelos direitos sociais. Chamamos a atenção para o atendimento às necessidades de diferentes populações, especialmente, às que apresentam o Transtorno do Desenvolvimento da Coordenação com destaque para as questões envolvendo sua etiologia, os instrumentos de identificação e diagnóstico e a intervenção. Nosso entendimento é de que o Esporte e a Educação Física Escolar figurem como eixos articuladores dos DH, promovendo uma relação dialógica na construção de saberes plurais, heterogêneos e experenciais ao longo da existência humana.

The issue of aging and old age is becoming a significant social phenomenon that captures the attention of numerous scientific disciplines. Cognitive changes in the elderly population are a field of great interest to the scientific and professional community. Given the tendency of the world's elderly population to increase, this topic is becoming increasingly important for both individuals and society as a whole, considering the health, legal, social, and economic aspects. The subject of this research is the cognitive functioning of healthy older urban populations and the importance of promoting active aging programs to preserve cognitive capacities in old age. The problem addressed in this research is to determine the extent to which unrecognized cognitive impairment is present in the older population, where respondents do not spontaneously report cognitive functioning difficulties. The aim of this research is to determine the degree, frequency, and modalities of cognitive impairment in terms of specific cognitive functions (orientation, attention and calculation, recall, writing, visuospatial construction) and to assess the importance of recommendations for preserving cognitive capacities in old age through the promotion of active/healthy aging. The method used was systematic nonexperimental observation. The sample was convenient and consisted of 60 volunteers, aged 60 years or older, who had never consulted a doctor for cognitive or psychiatric problems. The Mini Mental Status Examination test (MMSE) was used in the study. The results obtained show that dementia of mild degree was diagnosed in 3.3% of the respondents, and of moderate to severe degree in 3.3% of the respondents, which is an interesting finding considering that the surveyed sample consisted of individuals who did not complain of cognitive impairments. Additionally, the results regarding the prevalence of impairments in specific cognitive functions show that impairments in recall of previously presented verbal material were most prevalent (66.7% of respondents), while impairments in orientation were least prevalent (8.3% of respondents). The results indicate a statistically significant correlation between age and degree of cognitive impairment, age and cognitive function of attention, and age and cognitive function of recall. Furthermore, there is a statistically significant correlation between years of formal education and degree of cognitive impairment, years of formal education and the following cognitive functions: orientation, recall, and sentence writing. The results highlight the need for more detailed diagnostics and monitoring of cognitive abilities in the elderly, as well as the need for promoting and implementing prevention programs for the elderly population at risk of dementia.

Numerous research papers emphasise the problems of regular Physical Education lessons. The most common problem is insufficient influence on the development of motor abilities. The goal of the present research was to study possible statistically significant differences in the transformation of motor abilities of younger school-age female students in relation to regular and additional body movements and exercises. The research was conducted during the second term of 2021/2022 school year in the primary school "Jovan Jovanović Zmaj" in Svilajnac in the form of a pedagogical experiment of longitudinal character with parallel groups. The sample of 39 female students was divided into two special sub-samples - according to the criterion of the additional body movement-exercise: the experimental group with 19 female students who had two additional exercises during one week which lasted for 90 minutes apart from regular Physical Education lessons. The additional exercises were in the form of volleyball training. There was also the control group with 20 female students who did not have any additional exercises apart from regular Physical Education lessons. 6 standardised movement tasks were applied in the evaluation of students' motor abilities. Apart from the procedures of descriptive statistics, for the processing of data the t-test was applied both to the dependent and independent samples. On the basis of the obtained results and the observed differences, it can be stated that the effects of experimental treatment in the studied variables of motor abilities influenced the improvement of motor abilities in both groups from the initial to the final evaluation. All the improvements are greater in experimental group, so that statistically significant differences between the experimental and the control group in the final evaluation were observed in five out of six studied variables and they are in favor of the experimental group. The results indicate that the application of the additional body movement - exercises outsideregular Physical Education lessons is completely justified.
