The weakness of respiratory muscles hazards lung effectiveness and manovacuometry is the specific technique used to evaluate respiratory muscle strength. Handgrip strength has been used as an indicator of functional integrity and total body strength. This study aimed to make a correlation between respiratory muscle strength, hand-grip strength and asthma seriousness in ill and healthy people. This research is classified as a transversal study and the sample was composed by 80 women, from which 40 were asthmatic and 40 were healthy. The hydraulic hand dynameters, Chattanooga?? brand, was used to measure hand-grip strength and the manovacuometry, Suporte?? brand, was used to measure respiratory muscle strength. In order to make the statistical analysis, p 0,05 value was used. Results: hand-grip strength was lower in dominant hand of both groups and the asthmatic women had less respiratory muscle strength. These differences can be considered statistically significant. It was also verified that as more serious is the asthma, lower is the hand-grip strength, although with no statistical significance. The linear regression analysis showed that hand-grip strength can predict respiratory muscle strength. The results of this study indicate that the use of hand-grip strength evaluation is a trustable technique to measure the risks of these patients to present functions limitations. / A asma ?? uma doen??a inflamat??ria cr??nica caracterizada por hiperresponsividade das vias a??reas e imp??e limita????es ao cotidiano do paciente, interferindo no lazer, trabalho e nas atividades de vida di??ria. A fraqueza dos m??sculos respirat??rios prejudica a efic??cia pulmonar, e a manovacuometria ?? a t??cnica espec??fica utilizada para avaliar a for??a muscular respirat??ria (FMR). A for??a de preens??o manual (FPM) vem sendo utilizada como indicador de integralidade funcional e for??a total do corpo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo correlacionar FPM com FMR e gravidade da asma, em indiv??duos com e sem a doen??a. O estudo foi do tipo transversal e a amostra foi composta por 80 mulheres, sendo 40 asm??ticas e 40 n??o-asm??ticas. Foi utilizado o dinam??metro hidr??ulico de m??o da marca Chattanooga?? para a mensura????o da FPM e o manovacu??metro da marca Suporte?? para aferir a FMR. Para a an??lise estat??stica foi adotado p 0,05. Resultados: a FPM foi menor na m??o dominante para ambos os grupos e as asm??ticas apresentaram menor FPM, essas diferen??as foram estatisticamente significantes.Verificou-se tamb??m que quanto maior a gravidade da asma menor a FPM, por??m sem signific??ncia estat??stica. A an??lise de regress??o linear mostrou que a partir da FPM pode-se inferir a FMR. Os resultados do presente estudo indicam utilizar de forma confi??vel a avalia????o da preens??o manual com intuito de inferir o risco destes pacientes apresentarem limita????es de funcionalidade.

This thesis focuses on the topic of Global development education using the pedagogical approach of Philosophy for children. The main objective is to develop its own proposal of educational materials. Which will deal with the possibilities of using this theme to the first grade of primary school. The theoretical part is divided into two parts, the first is characterized by Global development education and the second the Philosophy for children. In the practical part we are shown three draft their own learning activities, which are fully capable of being put into teaching practice of geography at 1st level of basic education, especially for 4th and 5th grade.
