Desta forma, o objetivo desta dissertação foi identificar crenças, comportamentos e insatisfação relacionados à Imagem Corporal em homens profissionais de Educação Física, atuantes em academias de ginástica das cidades de Juiz de Fora, MG, e Teresópolis, RJ. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa envolvendo 34 homens profissionais de Educação Física que atuavam em academias de ginástica nos municípios de Teresópolis, RJ, e Juiz de Fora, MG, que foram selecionados por meio da técnica snowball sampling. O material obtido com as falas dos participantes em resposta ao roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada foi apreciado com base na Análise de Conteúdo. Para 82,4% (n=28) dos entrevistados, existe um modelo de corpo (magro, delgado, musculoso e atlético) para os profissionais de Educação Física, atuantes em academias de ginástica. Segundo 17,6% (n=06) dos entrevistados, não há um modelo de corpo, pois cada pessoa possui sua singularidade, assim como o importante deveria ser o conhecimento que o profissional possui para o desenvolvimento de suas intervenções. Do total de entrevistados: 47,1% (n=16) encontram-se satisfeitos, 23,5% (n=8) estão moderadamente satisfeitos e 29,4% (n=10) estão insatisfeitos com o próprio corpo. Ao todo, 85,3% (n=29) dos participantes gostariam de modificar alguma característica da própria aparência física, indicando o controle alimentar, a prática de atividades físicas, a submissão do corpo a cirurgias plásticas, o uso de suplementos alimentares e esteroides anabolizantes como comportamentos passíveis de serem adotados para modificar o próprio corpo. Pode-se concluir que a amostra investigada apresentou, predominantemente, a crença de existirem modelos de corpo para o profissional de Educação Física atuante em academias de ginástica, manifestou diferentes níveis de satisfação e insatisfação com seu corpo e apontou diferentes comportamentos que podem ser adotados para mudar a própria aparência física. / Currently, the gyms seem to present themselves as potential sites for the construction of physical appearance-based on body’s models socially idealized, which can affect the Body Image of men Physical Education professionals inserted in these contexts. Thus, the aim of this work was to identify beliefs, behaviors and dissatisfaction related to Body Image in men Physical Education professionals working in fitness centers in the cities of Juiz de Fora, MG, and Teresopolis, RJ. It is a qualitative survey with 34 professional men of Physical Education who worked in fitness centers in the cities of Teresopolis, RJ, and Juiz de Fora, MG, who were selected by snowball sampling technique. The material obtained with responses of participants to the semi-structured interview was appreciated based on content analysis. To 82.4 % (n=28) of respondents, there is a body model (thin, slender, muscular and athletic) for Physical Education professionals working in gyms. According to 17.6% (n=06) of respondents, there isn’t a body model, because each person has their uniqueness, as well as important should be the knowledge that the professional has to develop his interventions. Of the total respondents: 47.1% (n=16) are satisfied, 23.5% (n=8) are moderately satisfied and 29.4% (n=10) are dissatisfied with their bodies. In all, 85.3% (n=29) of participants would like to change some characteristic of one's physical appearance, indicating the food control, physical activity practice, the body's submission to plastic surgery, the use of food supplements and steroids anabolic like behavior that can be adopted to modify the body. It can be concluded that the sample investigated predominantly presented the belief there is body models for the Physical Education professional active in gyms, expressed different levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with her body and pointed out different behaviors that can be adopted to change the own physical appearance.

The present study aimed to describe the nutritional profile and the use of ergogenic aids in fitness centers workers. Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study in all gyms of Pelotas, southern Brazil. Was assessed from standardized questionnaire, the consumption of ergogenic supplements (protein, carbohydrate, anticatabolic, multivitamins and hormonal), markers of dietary intake, frequency of fruit and vegetable intake and body mass index (BMI). In addition, we collected sociodemographic and work variables. Results: Mean age of the 497 respondents was 29.7 years (± 8.3), 57.8% were male and most were in the normal BMI range. Almost a quarter of men and less than 10% of women reported consuming at least one type of supplement. As for food intake, we observed a high frequency of consumption of protein-based products, burgers/sausages and soft drinks. The most reported ergogenic was the anticatabolic (75.4% of men and 71.8% women consumed this type of supplement). The higher fruit intake was reported (40.3%) among respondents who consumed only one supplement and vegetable consumption was more common among those consuming two supplements (45.1%). Conclusions: The population assessed, which is often taken as an example by fitness clubs participants, showed a nutritional profile that could be considered inappropriate, where 25% make use of ergogenic aids, showed a high frequency of consumption of protein and soft drinks. In addition, the intake of fruits and vegetables was below the recommendations and inversely proportional to the consumption of supplements / Atualmente se destaca o crescente número de academias de ginástica e o expressivo aumento no consumo de suplementos ergogênicos por alunos e profissionais que frequentam esses locais. O presente estudo objetivou descrever o perfil nutricional e o uso de recursos ergogênicos de trabalhadores de academias de ginástica que ministravam atividade física. Métodos: Estudo descritivo observacional transversal do tipo censo realizado nas academias de ginástica da cidade de Pelotas/RS. Foi avaliado, a partir de questionário padronizado, o consumo de suplementos ergogênicos (proteicos, carboidratados, anticatabólicos, polivitamínicos e hormonais), marcadores de consumo alimentar, frequência de ingestão de frutas e vegetais e índice de massa corporal (IMC). Além disso, foram coletadas variáveis sociodemográficas e do trabalho. Resultados: Foram entrevistados 497 profissionais com média de idade referente a 29,7 anos (± 8,3), 57,8% eram do sexo masculino e a maioria tinha IMC de eutrofia (56,3%). Cerca de 25% dos homens e 10% das mulheres reportaram consumir algum tipo de suplemento. Quanto aos marcadores de consumo alimentar, pode-se observar a alta frequência de consumo de produtos protéicos, hambúrgueres/embutidos e refrigerantes. O recurso ergogênico mais relatado foi o anticatabólico, sendo que 75,4% dos homens e 71,8% das mulheres consumiram esse tipo de suplemento. O consumo de frutas foi mais relatado (40,3%) entre os entrevistados que consumiam apenas um suplemento e o consumo de vegetais foi mais frequente entre os consumidores de dois suplementos (45,1%). Conclusões: A população avaliada, que com frequência é tomada como exemplo por frequentadores de academias, mostrou um perfil nutricional que pode ser considerado inadequado, onde 25% faz uso de recursos ergogênicos, mostrou elevada frequência de consumo de proteínas e refrigerantes. Somado a isso, o consumo de frutas e vegetais foi aquém das recomendações e inversamente proporcional ao consumo de suplementos

Mini-study project (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The rise of the health and fitness club, Health and Racquet Club, in the late eighties was spectacular and it came as no surprise that the company was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1994. The two founder members, Peter Gardener and Robert Mitchell listed a company within a short period of time and were not afraid to change their strategy and expand their operations into other sectors of the leisure industry in 1995. In the late nineties, after restructuring the subsidiaries of the group, management started to look at foreign markets for expansion of the core business, namely the Health and Racquet Clubs. The group's foreign expansion accumulated a vast amount of debt on its balance sheet and in retrospect was seen as one of the main reasons for its collapse. The company was placed under liquidation in the end of the 2000 financial year. This study will evaluate the different strategies management followed, and will identify some key strategic mistakes that was made and that led to the downfall of a seemingly financially strong organization that offered above average returns to it's stakeholders. It also aims to show that a business strategy has to rely on strong corporate governance and that the last say always lies with the stakeholders within that company. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die gesondheids- en fiksheidsklub, die Health and Racquet Club, het in die laat tagtigerjare ongelooflike opgang gemaak, wat uiteindelik gelei het tot notering op die Johannesburgse Effektebeurs in 1994. Die twee stigterslede, Peter Gardener en Robert Mitchell, het die maatskappy binne 'n kort tyd genoteer, en het nie gehuiwer om hulle strategie te verander en in 1995 hulle bedrywighede uit te brei na ander sektore in die ontspanningsindustrie nie. In die laat negentigerjare, nadat die filiale van die groep geherstruktureer is, het die bestuur oorsese markte begin ondersoek met die oog op uitbreiding van die kernbesigheid, naamlik die Health and Racquet Clubs. Die groep se uitbreidingsaksie het groot skuld tot gevolg gehad - een van die hoofredes vir die ineenstorting. Die maatskappy is aan die einde van die 2000 finansiële jaar gelikwideer. Hierdie studie evalueer die verskillende strategieë wat die bestuur gevolg het, en identifiseer die belangrikste strategiese foute wat gemaak is en wat gelei het tot die ineenstorting van 'n maatskappy wat oënskynlik finansieel sterk was en bogemiddelde opbrengste aan die aandeelhouers besorg het. Die studie poog ook om aan te toon dat 'n besigheidstrategie gebaseer moet wees op stewige korporatiewe beheer en dat die laaste sê altyd by die aandeelhouers van die maatskappy lê.
