The problem of research have founded in question of leisure constructed historically concept, which the same is frequently understanding like result of Modernity and, thus, would be absent in the major part Brazilian rural areas, understanding like farms, backwards and traditionals. The your theoretical fundamental have supported in authors of Leisure Studies, Rural Sociology and peasant studies and methodologically in Interpretative Anthropology. The field work was compost by participant observation and by intensive interviews. Between 2008 May and June were realized the first observation and claim of dates and September was realized the second stage with the carrying out of thirty and two (32) intensive interviews. To look to understand the practice and social representation of leisure of Bananeiras and its relationship with social organization and the culture, it could seem through of the dates found, a diversity of leisure practices and representations that pass through the ages and gender relations, pointing to unequal and tension appropriation and of the possibilities of leisure practice existences in urban spaces of region and others rural communities, besides of Bananeiras. / Este estudo procurou compreender as práticas e as representações sociais de lazer dos moradores de Bananeiras, comunidade rural do município de Presidentes Bernardes na Zona da Mata mineira. O problema de pesquisa fundamentou-se no questionamento do conceito historicamente construído de Lazer, no qual o mesmo é freqüentemente entendido como resultado da Modernidade e, portanto, estaria ausente na maior parte das áreas rurais brasileiras, compreendidas, como agrícolas, atrasadas e tradicionais. A sua fundamentação teórica ancorouse nos autores dos Estudos do Lazer, da Sociologia Rural e estudos do campesinato e metodologicamente na Antropologia Interpretativista. O trabalho de campo foi composto pela observação participante e pela entrevista em profundidade. Entre maio e junho de 2008 foram realizadas as primeiras observações e coleta de dados e em setembro foi realizada a segunda etapa do trabalho de campo com a realização de trinta e duas (32) entrevistas em profundidade. Ao procurar compreender as práticas e as representações sociais de lazer de Bananeiras e as suas relações com a organização social e com a cultura, pôde-se perceber, através dos dados encontrados, uma diversidade de práticas e representações de lazer que perpassam as relações de gênero e de gerações, apontando para uma apropriação desigual e tensa dos espaços e das possibilidades de práticas de lazer existentes nos espaços urbanos da região e de outras comunidades rurais, além de Bananeiras.

The analysis of the occupational career of party organizers in the night entertainment in the city of São Paulo has provided a very representative empirical cut on the flexibility expected of contemporary workers. We observed the forms of entry and maintenance on this informal market, mainly associated with the possession of a differentiated social capital, mobilized in accord to the cultural prescriptions of the consumer groups. We also analyzed the subjective and objective efforts demanded in their daily activities, that mobilizes great physical and mental efforts and dominate large periods of their personal schedules, and yet are positively reinterpreted as values of entrepreneurship and creative freedom. We observed how their identity as workers were constructed based on this differentiated service business, selling a product characterized by its symbolic value. We interviewed 8 Promoters from different musical styles, using semi-structured and free interviews, conducted in person or through virtual platforms of interaction, which are the spaces par excellence of the dissemination and promotion of their own parties. / Com o advento da chamada flexibilização das relações de trabalho e produção, uma série de novos valores e características ganhou protagonismo nas análises sobre a categoria trabalho, voltadas para a crescente individualização das responsabilidades, para as novas organizações enxutas e para os engajamentos pautados em projetos de curta duração, em oposição ao momento antecedente do trabalho assalariado protegido do modelo fordista-keynesianista. A análise do percurso ocupacional dos organizadores de festas no lazer noturno da cidade de São Paulo forneceu um recorte empírico representativo dos valores afeitos à flexibilidade que se espera dos trabalhadores contemporâneos. Observamos as formas recorrentes de ingresso e manutenção neste mercado difuso e ainda sem alguma regulamentação institucionalizada, relacionadas, sobretudo, com a posse de um capital social diferenciado, mobilizado segundo prescrições culturais dos grupos consumidores das festas. Analisamos também as demandas subjetivas e objetivas articuladas no dia a dia da atividade, que, embora tomem grande esforço físico e mental e dominem grandes períodos de suas agendas pessoais, são reinterpretadas positivamente enquanto valores afeitos ao empreendedorismo e a liberdade criativa autônoma. Buscamos observar como é construída a sua identidade como trabalhadores a partir desta prestação diferenciada de serviço, na medida em que vendem um produto que é caracterizado pelo seu valor simbólico. Entrevistamos oito Promoters de estilos musicais diferentes, utilizando-nos de entrevistas livres e semiestruturadas, realizadas pessoalmente ou através de plataformas virtuais de interação, que são os espaços por excelência da divulgação e promoção das suas festas autônomas ou partilhadas com os locais de entretenimento.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram investigar os significados das práticas do turismo por sujeitos portadores de esclerose múltipla (EM) em seu tempo de lazer, desvelando as reais condições desses portadores de EM, quanto à efetiva prática de lazer diante das possibilidades e limites desse sujeito. Nesse sentido, foi realizada uma revisão teórica e a dissertação foi dividida em capítulos que tratam da dialética do corpo na modernidade e o lazer, a realidade social dos sujeitos portadores de EM, os significados do lazer para sujeitos portadores de EM. Foi realizado um estudo preliminar exploratório ao tema e, a partir de uma amostra por tipicidade, o processo investigatório compreendeu movimentos reflexivos e críticos. As categorias de análise: lazer, turismo e qualidade de vida foram ressignificadas a partir do referencial proposto, reconstruindo a realidade vivenciada pelos sujeitos portadores de EM, por meio de estudo do comportamento manifesto em seu tempo de lazer. O estudo revelou que as práticas de lazer e de turismo significaram atividades prazerosas e condição de normalidade para ser e estar-no-mundo. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-05T17:56:24Z No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERTACAO HELOISA SANTINI.pdf: 775618 bytes, checksum: 66f216dbbeffa18cab1337d76c25206a (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-05T17:56:24Z (GMT).

O objetivo consistiu em perceber de que forma as contribuições da Educação Física Escolar, em relação a uma educação para o lazer, estavam e/ou poderiam estar presentes nos entendimentos e/ou nos relatos das práticas pedagógicas de professores de Educação Física. Diante de sua perspectiva qualitativa, esta pesquisa baseou-se no referencial teórico da pesquisa-ação. Este enfoque metodológico permitiu-nos intervir junto a um grupo de quatro professores de Educação Física, atuantes em escolas públicas e particulares do município de Rio Claro, através da realização de oito encontros coletivos. Após um período de aproximadamente um mês do último encontro com os professores, realizamos uma entrevista individual com os participantes. A análise dos encontros levou-nos a concluir que existem quatro contribuições educativas implícitas e explícitas nas reflexões e nos relatos das ações dos professores investigados, sintetizadas nas seguintes categorias: o espaço escolar e a organização das aulas; concepção de Escola e de Educação Física Escolar; conteúdos da Educação Física Escolar e formação de atitudes; práticas pedagógicas da Educação Física Escolar explícitas para uma educação para o lazer. As entrevistas finais mostraram que as relações Educação Física Escolar e a educação para o lazer, proporcionadas durante os encontros, possibilitaram construções e ampliações de conhecimentos, refletindo nas aulas de Educação Física, em possíveis contribuições para as vivências de lazer dos alunos fora da escola. Além disso, destacamos outros tipos de repercussões enfatizadas pelos professores, relacionadas à satisfação de participarem da pesquisa, que possibilitaram conhecer pessoas...

The objective consisted to realize if the Physical Education teacher's understandings and/or pedagogical practice reports contribute or might contribute to leisure education. The present research was based on action-research's theoretical references due to its qualitative perspective. This methodological focus permitted us to accomplish eight collective meetings in order to intervene in a group formed by four Physical Education teachers from public and private schools at Rio Claro city. About one month after the group's last meeting, we have individually interviewed the teachers. The meetings' analysis led us to conclude there are four educative implicit and explicit contributions in the investigated teacher's reflexions and action reports which are synthetized in the following categories: the school place and the classes organization; school and Physical Education concepts; Physical Education's contents and attitudes' formation; Physical Education's pedagogical explicit practices for leisure education. The final interviews showed that Physical Education and leisure education relations provided during the meetings made it possible to construct and improve knowlegdes that were incorporated in the Physical Education classes as possible contributions to the students' leisure time out of school. Moreover, we point out another sorts of repercussions which were emphasized by the teachers and are related to satisfaction by participating in this research, by meeting new people, by exchanging experiences and by reflecting about their own professional and personal lives in a leisure dimension context. / Mestre

Evidence concerning the benefits of physical activity to health is well established. Despite this extensive evidence, the vast majority of the population remains insufficiently physically active to elicit meaningful health gain. Exercise Referral Schemes (ERSs) have been operating in this country since the early 1990s. However, despite continuing expansion in the number of schemes nationwide, `success', in terms of long-term adherence to physical activity by clients has not been achieved. Extensive evidence in the literature suggests service quality may impact on clients' decision to adhere. However, this concept has not previously been applied to ERSs, assuring the originality and contributory potential of this investigation This thesis aims to investigate the factors affecting retention rates in ERSs. Furthermore, this investigation seeks to develop an understanding of the relationship between service quality and adherence in this setting. Five schemes comprising diverse operational management systems are evaluated via a new assessment tool, completed by 1024 respondents. This quantitative data is supported and extended by qualitative data drawn from a range of key stakeholders collected via 10 interviews and five focus groups. Results suggest clients do not generally perceive service quality to be problematic; however, significant differences between adherence groups and schemes offer insights into issues affecting retention. The nature of the relationship between client and exercise professional appears to represent one of the most notable `keys' to retention. Many clients seek a medical solution to health problems and perceive an exercise professional to be the poor relation of a GP. The fundamental importance of the potential for other exercisers to contribute to the support of clients is also highlighted and discussed. Site-specific issues, time to exercise and client stereotypes of the gym environment also feature as possible determinants of adherence. Considerable further research is needed to build upon these results. Possible avenues for such studies are also discussed.

abstract: Vitamin C is a micronutrient with many important physiological roles. It can function as a reducing agent, a free radical scavenger, and an enzyme cofactor. Much research has examined the potential of vitamin C supplements to enhance exercise capacity in trained athletes; however, little is known regarding the effects of vitamin C supplements on the promotion of leisure-time physical activity in the general population. This area deserves attention since 1/3 of Americans have below adequate vitamin C status, and since aversion to exercise, fatigue, and altered mood states are the earliest signs of poor vitamin C status. This study analyzed the effect of supplementing 500 mg twice daily of vitamin C on self-reported leisure-time activity levels and mood states in young men. Twenty-nine healthy, young men, aged 18-35 years, were stratified by age, BMI, smoking status, and plasma vitamin C concentrations and assigned to either a control (CON) or experimental group (VTC) for the 8-week randomized, double-blinded, parallel arm trial. Subjects were instructed to keep track of their leisure-time physical activity by filling out the validated Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire weekly for the entire study. In addition, subjects took the self-administered Profile of Mood States (POMS) at baseline, week 4, and week 8 to observe mood states. Plasma vitamin C concentrations were analyzed at the initial screening, week 4, and week 8 of the study. Plasma vitamin C concentrations significantly differed by group at week 4 and week 8. Furthermore, vitamin C supplementation significantly increased self-reported mild, moderate, and strenuous activity levels during the 8-week trial. Overall, total physical activity scores increased nearly 50% in the VTC group as compared to 18% in the CON group (p=0.001). However, mood states were not significantly impacted by vitamin C supplementation during the trial. This study provides the first experimental evidence that supplementing 500 mg of vitamin C twice daily can be effective in increasing leisure-time physical activity in healthy young men. This study, however, was unable to link improvements in physical activity rates to improved mood states. Since sedentary behaviors have been implicated in the rise of obesity in the U.S., further research should be conducted to substantiate the finding that vitamin C supplementation increases physical activity. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.
