Até há pouco tempo, a Ginástica Artística (GA) era uma modalidade esportiva conhecida e praticada por uma minoria no Brasil, situação que vem sendo ligeiramente alterada devido a popularidade das conquistas internacionais de nossos ginastas. Este fato parece estar aumentando o interesse das crianças pela GA gradativamente. A motivação é tema de destaque nos estudos da área do Esporte. Assim, o conhecimento e a compreensão de aspectos que motivam a prática de GA formativa podem auxiliar os profissionais a desenvolver um trabalho cada vez mais atraente e estimulador, bem como tornar a experiência mais significativa e prazerosa aos praticantes, minimizar problemas de desistências e incentivar a massificação da modalidade. A partir de entrevistas com meninas praticantes entre 11 e 17 anos de idade e seus respectivos professores, investigamos a motivação dessas jovens para a prática da GA nas escolas e as estratégias dos professores para estimular e manter esse interesse. Verificamos que há um conjunto de motivos que incentivam o ingresso e a permanência na modalidade, o qual tem origem intrínseca ou extrínseca. As estratégias motivacionais dos professores se mostraram relativamente eficientes. Entretanto, sugerimos que fatores motivacionais intrínsecos e extrínsecos sejam considerados e que a comunicação entre alunas e professores seja intensificada a fim de atender às necessidades e expectativas das praticantes / Up to now, Artistic Gymnastics (AG) was a sport only known and practiced by only a small minority of Brazilians, this situation has been changing by the popularity of our athletes in international Olympics. In fact, the interests of many children in AG have been increasing steadily. Motivation is a highlighted issue within Sports related studies. Knowledge and understanding of motivation in AG may help professionals to develop a better and more stimulating program and make this experience even more meaningful and joyful to the learners, minimize dropouts and increase the popularity of this activity. We interviewed coaches and their female students ageing from 11 to 17 years and we analyzed the girls motivation to practice AG in the schools and the strategy used by coaches to stimulate and to maintain their interest. We verified that there are many reasons that work for the starting and remaining in this particular sport, which may have an intrinsic or extrinsic origins. Motivational strategies used by coaches were relatively effective. However, we suggest that the intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors would be considered and the coach-practitioner communication be intensified in order to meet the needs and expectations of the learners

Introduktion Alpin skidåkning är en populär men skadedrabbad vinteridrott som varit en olympisk gren sedan 1936. Idrotten består av fyra grenar: Slalom, Storslalom, Super-G och Störtlopp. I Sverige finns det möjlighet för ungdomar att specialisera sig inom sin idrott i samband med gymnasiet, där de kan kombinera studier med idrott. Allvarliga skador har visats påverka individuella idrottares rankingpoäng och karriärer. Syftet med denna studie var dels att undersöka skadeförekomsten mellan årskurser och kön vid Sveriges alpina skidgymnasium och dels vilken typ av skada som var mest förekommande. Metod En enkät skickades ut till sammanlagt 116 elever vid Sveriges alpina skidgymnasium varav 87 av dessa (40 män respektive 47 kvinnor i åldern 16–20 år) valde att delta i studien. Resultat Resultatet av enkätundersökningen visar att 64 % av skadorna i studien rapporterades av kvinnor och 36 % rapporterades av män. Studien visade en låg skillnad i träningsmängd och sömn mellan män och kvinnor. Av totalt 53 akuta och belastningsrelaterade skador var 40 % ryggskador. Av alla svarande uppgav 53 % att de någon gång under nuvarande läsår (2020–2021) tränat med smärta eller i behov av behandling. Resultatet visar också att årskurs 2 hade störst procentuell skadeförekomst med 81 % under nuvarande läsår.  Slutsats Baserat på skadorna som rapporterats i studien skulle män och kvinnor möjligen gynnas av att ha olika träningsupplägg. Ett mer aktivt jobb med skadeprevention kan behövas med tanke på att 61 % av deltagarna varit skadade minst en gång senaste läsåret. Bättre kommunikation mellan tränare och elever gällande träning med besvär kan behövas.    Nyckelord: Skadeförekomst, Idrottsgymnasium, Träningsbelastning / Introduction Alpine skiing is a popular winter sport that is often associated with injury. It has been part of the winter Olympics since 1936 and is categorized into four different disciplines; Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super G and Downhill. Young athletes in Sweden have the opportunity to specialize in alpine skiing as they start high school, where they can combine studies with sports. Severe injuries can significantly affect individual athletes’ ranking points and careers. The purpose of this study was to investigate which injury is the most common and the difference in injury incidence between the sexes and first to fourth grade at Swedish Alpine High Schools. Method A questionnaire was sent out to students at Sweden's Alpine Ski High School, of which 87 students (40 men and 47 women aged 16–20) chose to participate in the study.  Results Of all injuries in the study, 64 % were reported by women and 36 % by men. The study only showed a slight difference in sleeping patterns and training volume between the sexes. Out of 53 reported acute and overuse injuries, 40 % were back injuries. Of all the participants 53 % claimed they had exercised while in pain or need of treatment during the previous year. Second grade had the highest injury incidence, with 81 % during the previous year. Conclusion Based on the injuries reported in the study, men and women would most likely benefit from personalized training programs. A more effective job with injury prevention could be needed considering 61 % of the participants have been injured at least once during the previous year. Better communication between coaches and students about training with pain or in need of treatment might be required.   Keywords: Incidence of injury, Sports High School, Training load

Orientador: Suraya Cristina Darido / Banca: Silvana Venâncio / Banca: Gisele Maria Schwartz / Resumo: As Atividades Físicas de Aventura são uma realidade, fruto de um grande desenvolvimento ocorrido principalmente nas duas últimas décadas. São eventos relacionados ao Surf, Skate, Ralis, Corridas de Aventura, entre muitos outros, vivenciados em várias faixas etárias. Além disso, As Atividades Físicas de Aventura estão sendo largamente difundidas em documentários sobre expedições e reportagens ecoturísticas que envolvem várias de suas modalidades, tais como: Rapel, Tirolesa, Corrida de Aventura, Trekking ou, ainda, outras atividades chamadas esportes radicais. Essas práticas têm atraído a prática e o consumo de grande parte dos jovens e adultos brasileiros, chegando a competir, em preferência, com alguns esportes tradicionais do país. É preciso incentivar a prática das Atividades Físicas de Aventura (A.F.A.) também na escola é, o que significa estreitar relações com as discussões sobre preservação ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi arrolar uma série de atividades relacionadas às Atividades Físicas de Aventura possíveis de serem realizadas na escola, apontando as três dimensões do conteúdo. Explorar e descrever essas atividades como uma possibilidade pedagógica real na escola, capaz de fazer parte do currículo comum da Educação Física como valor de conhecimento, tanto quanto qualquer dos conteúdos tradicionais da área. Foram apresentadas, enquanto possibilidades pedagógicas de atividades de aventura nas três dimensões dos conteúdos (Procedimental, Conceitual e Atitudinal), os seguintes temas; - Corridas de Orientação, Trekking ou Enduro à pé; - Montanhismo; - Atividades sobre Rodas; - Atividades Físicas de Aventura Aquáticas. Os resultados do estudo indicam que é possível inserir A.F.A. na escola; que essas atividades são significativas pedagogicamente e são bem aceitas pela comunidade escolar. / Abstract: Adventure Physical Activities are a reality today, as a result of a great development occurred mainly in the last two decades. They consist of events related to Surf, Skate, Ralis, Adventure Races, among others, experienced in several different age groups. Moreover, Adventure Physical Activities have been largely broadcast in documentaries about expeditions and eco-touristic reports involving several modalities, such as Rapel, Tirolesa, Adventure Race, Trekking and other activities called extreme sports. These activities have attracted the attention and participation of a great number of Brazilian teenagers and young adults, and they have been even competing in preference with some traditional sports in the country. It's necessary to encourage the practice of the Adventure Physical Activities also in the schools, what would mean to make closer relations with the discussions on environment conservation and sustainable development. So, the objective of this research was to list a range of activities related to the Adventure Physical Activities which can be practiced at school, pointing out the three dimensions of the content. To explore and describe these activities as a real pedagogical possibility at school, capable of being part of the common curriculum of Physical Education as a knowledge value, as much as any of the traditional contents of the area. The following themes were presented as pedagogical possibilities of adventure activities in the three dimensions of content (Procedural, Conceptive, and Behavioral): Orienteering, Trekking, or Enduro a pé, Mountain Climbing, Activities on Wheels, Adventure Physical Activities in Water. The results of the research indicate that it is possible to introduce Adventure Physical Activities in schools, that these activities are meaningful from a pedagogical standpoint, and well accepted by the school community. / Mestre

Syftet med studien är att undersöka före detta elitsatsande simmares upplevelse av idrottsgymnasium och förstå avslutsprocessen i att sluta med elitsatsningen. För att besvara detta baseras studien på tolv intervjuer med elitsatsande simmare som ingått i idrottsgymnasium men valt att hoppa av under gymnasietiden eller inom två år efter examen. Vidare analyseras detta med hjälp av två teoretiska ramverk, Ebaughs beslutsprocess och push/pull/anti-push/anti-pull-modellen. Resultatet visar att simmarnas upplevelse av idrottsgymnasiet är unik. Vidare lyfts att avslutsprocessen påbörjas av orsaker som tränarbyte, sociala anledningar utanför idrotten, pandemin covid-19 och minskad entusiasm. Simmarna sökte sig under den tiden till långsiktiga alternativ genom fortsatta studier eller arbete. Beslutet till avhoppet framkommer därefter som mångfasetterad och komplext där en till sju olika faktorer sammantaget utgör beslutet. Bland dessa faktorer återfinns: missnöje med tränare; utebliven utveckling; prestationsångest; tidskrävande; sociala anledningar inom idrotten; ohälsa; ekonomisk brist i idrotten; minskad motivation; sociala anledningar utanför idrotten; andra prioriteringar. Efter avhoppet upplever simmarna en identitetskris varpå det var lättare att hantera den med ett fokus utöver idrotten samt ett planerat avhopp. Genom studien betonas en helhetssyn på den idrottande individen, gemenskapen och tränarens roll som värdefulla i avslutsprocessen. / The aim of this study is to examine former elite swimmers experience of sports high school and understand the process of drop-out from the elite sport. To answer this question the study gathered data from twelve interviews with elite swimmers who were part of a sports high school but chose to drop out during high school or within two years after graduation. Furthermore, this is analyzed using two theoretical frameworks, Ebaugh's decision-making process and the push/pull/anti-push/anti-pull model. The results show that the swimmers experience of the sports high school is unique. Furthermore, it is emphasized that the decision-making process is started for reasons such as a change of coach, social reasons outside of sports, the pandemic covid-19 and reduced enthusiasm. During that time, the swimmers sought long-term alternatives through further studies or work. The decision to drop out then appears to be multifaceted and complex, with one to seven different factors together constituting the decision. These factors include: dissatisfaction with coaches; lack of development; performance anxiety; time consuming; social reasons in sport; illness; economic shortage in sports; decreased motivation; social reasons outside of sports; other priorities. After the dropout, the swimmers experience an identity crisis, whereupon it was easier to handle it with a focus outside of swimming and a planned drop-out. The study emphasizes a holistic view of the individual athlete, the community and the role of the coaches as valuable in the process of the decision.

Studien undersöker hur den stress som idrottare upplever kopplat till idrottsutövandet påverkas av olika motivationsfaktorer, samt hur det återspeglas i deras upplevda prestation. Urvalet bestod av pojkar och flickor i åldern 16 - 20 år som går på idrottsgymnasium. Enkäten besvarades av totalt 87 personer (49 kvinnor och 38 män) som var aktiva inom längdskidor (n = 32), friidrott (n = 34) samt orientering (n = 21). Studiens frågeställningar besvarades med hjälp av självskattningsformulären Sports Motivation Scale II (SMS-II), Attainment of Sport Achievement Goals Scale (ASAG) samt Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale for Adolescent Athletes (PSRS-AA). En korrrelationsanalys visade att det fanns ett svagt samband mellan grad av självbestämmande motivation (RAI) och upplevd prestation samt ett svagt negativt samband mellan stress och självbestämmande motivation. Mer sofistikerade analyser kunde inte bekräfta någon samvariation mellan dessa variabler. Däremot kan man urskilja hur könsskillnader påverkar graden av upplevd stress. Där det var kvinnor som skattade sig högre. Ytterligare studier med större populationer behövs för att prova dessa hypoteser. / The study examines how the stress that athletes experience connected to the exercise of sports is affected by various motivational factors, as well as how it is reflected in their perceived performance. The selection consisted of boys and girls aged 16 - 20 who attend a sports high school. The questionnaire was answered by a total of 87 people (49 women and 38 men) who were active in cross-country skiing (n = 32), athletics (n = 34) and orienteering (n = 21). The study's questions were answered using the self-assessment forms Sports Motivation Scale II (SMS-II), Attainment of Sport Achievement Goals Scale (ASAG) and Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale for Adolescent Athletes (PSRS-AA). A correlation analysis showed that there was a weak relationship between degree of self-determination motivation (RAI) and perceived performance and a weak negative relationship between stress and self-determination motivation. More sophisticated analyzes could not confirm any covariation between these variables. However, it is possible to discern how gender differences affect the degree of perceived stress. Where it was women who rated themselves higher. Further studies with larger populations are needed to test these hypotheses.
