Purpose of study: Examine ASO (soft) and Malleoloc semi-rigid stirrup (SRS) ankle orthosis designs on ankle kinematics during field-sport movements: sprint, one-legged jump, and 45-degree cut. Participants: 13 competitive Ultimate players who regularly wore an ankle orthosis during physical activity. Methods: ASO or Malleoloc orthosis was randomly assigned to each person. Kinematic data were captured while the participants performed several trials for each movement in a motion analysis laboratory. Participants repeated the protocol with the other orthosis. Results: ASO allowed significantly more plantar-flexion during weight acceptance of the planting foot in cutting (p=0.038). In jumping, the Malleoloc allowed significantly more eversion-inversion range during stance (p=0.048) and eversion-inversion angular velocity from midstance to toe-off (p=0.026). Qualitative data also showed a significant preference for ASO. Conclusion: Hypotheses that ankle inversion and eversion would be greater with the ASO; and plantar-flexion and dorsiflexion would be greater with the Malleoloc were refuted.

Resumo: O presente trabalho surge em função de buscar um melhor entendimento sobre o papel da torcida, diante dos estados emocionais dos atletas, em especial da ansiedade e da agressividade. Baseado em vasta revisão de literatura, que apresenta as diversas concepções conceituais aqui estudado (adolescência, agressão, ansiedade e torcida) e seus desdobramentos, o estudo assume a vertente da pesquisa qualitativa, optando pela pesquisa participante, como estratégia de verificação. Assim, interessou-se em estudar os aspectos relativos à ação da torcida e sua interferência no comportamento agressivo e ansioso do jogador jovem, que participa de uma modalidade federada, afim de verificar se o aumento da ansiedade e da agressividade, no momento esportivo, reflete o aumento de pressão que se exerce exteriormente. Considerou-se torcida aquele público presente, que assiste aos confrontos esportivos, nas figuras de pais, fãs, familiares e crônica esportiva e o público ausente, como os pais e a imprensa, que ficam no aguardo do resultado, em seus ambientes próprios. Esta pesquisa, exploratória, analisou o contexto esportivo competitivo de atletas das modalidades de basquetebol, futebol de salão, voleibol, handebol, atletismo e natação, observando, entrevistando e coletando falas e expressões que pudessem, após rigorosa categorização, oferecer subsídios para um replanejamento na conduta esportiva de adolescentes. Constatou a grande influência do público, em especial a dos pais, com muito determinismo, seguido do profissional da área esportiva, conforme indicam outros estudos. Explicita a questão da causa efeito no que diz respeito a ansiedade e agressão, oferecendo propostas para trabalhos que possibilitem outra abordagem ou favoreçam outras interferências por parte do público presente. / Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provid a better understanding of the cheer role in the emotional state of adolescent athletes, specially related to anxiety and aggressiveness. Based upon the literature, that shows several conceptions (adolescence, aggression, anxiety, and cheeriness) and their relationships, this study assumes a characteristic of qualitative research, specially the participant research as its strategy for verification. In this way, this study focused on the aspects related to the cheer activity and its interference in the aggressive and anxious behavior of the young players who participate in official modality, verifying in the increase of anxiety and aggressiveness in the sportive situation reflects the pressure coming from the cheering . It was considered cheerthose people in the stadium (parents, relatives, public, and reports) and those people not present in the stadium (parents, relatives, and reports) who only wait for the result in their "homes". This research analyzed athletes participating in basketball, indoor soccer, volleyball, team handball, track and field and swimming through interviews, observations, and talks and expressions that could, based upon rigorous categorization, offer principles for a re-planning of the adolescent sport activities. It was verified strong public influence, in special parental influence and followed by sportive professionals. This finding explains the cause-effect relationship between anxiety and aggressiveness and offers insights for future studies focusing on the interferences coming from the public present in the stadium.

Syfte Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur barn- och ungdomsledare resonerar kring att inkludera barn och ungdomar med funktionsnedsättning inom föreningsidrottens aktiviteter. Metod En kvalitativ intervjustudie valdes som design där 12 barn- och ungdomsledare deltog i studien. Deltagarna var mellan 30-45 år gamla (medelålder 36,6 år) och aktiva inom föreningsidrotten sedan minst 1 år tillbaka (medelvärde 7,9 år). Studien innefattade idrotterna innebandy, fotboll, handboll, simning, gymnastik och friidrott och samtliga deltagare hade erhållit minst en ledarutbildning. Urvalet av deltagare skedde genom ett snöbollsurval med utgångspunkt i två skilda geografiska områden i Sverige. Vid dataanalysen användes en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats och resultatet presenterades i tre kategorier med tillhörande underkategorier tillsammans med citat från deltagarna. Resultat I kategorierna Individens förutsättningar och hur föräldrar och ledare påverkar möjligheten tillinkludering, Idrottens utformning och föreningars arbete kring inkludering samt Hur bemötande från omgivningen och samhällets utformning påverkar inkludering presenterades ett flertal olika förutsättningar som kan skapa möjligheter för en framgångsrik inkludering av barn- och ungdomar med funktionsnedsättning inom föreningsidrotten. I resultatet framkom bland annat att utbildning, ledares kompetens och föräldrars engagemang var viktiga förutsättningar för en lyckad inkludering. Konklusion Studien har bidragit till en inblick kring vilka förutsättningar som främjar barn och ungdomar med funktionsnedsättningars möjligheter att delta inom föreningsidrotten. Resultatet gav indikationer på att arbetsterapeutens kompetens kan användas för att främja en möjlig inkludering för barn och ungdomar med funktionsnedsättning.

THE TITLE OF THE THESIS Athletics in elementary school THE TARGET OF THE THESIS The target of the thesis is a comparison of four-year-grade performance in the chosen athletics disciplines reached by boys from the second grade of two elementary schools. In one of them expanded sport education is taught. Next we want to draw a comparison of the relation between pupils' extracurricular sport activity and their performance in the chosen athletics disciplines. THE METOD The thesis is elaborated as a observational study. Within the research the method of collecting data - panel survey is applied. Data of these athletics disciplines are elaborated in the research: running at 60 m, long jump, shot - put and high jump.

As demandas físicas assumem uma maior importância na atualidade. Para que ocorra de um desempenho de forma otimizada na categoria adulta é necessário entender como se dá o desenvolvimento das capacidades motoras ao longo dos anos. Objetivo: Realizar um acompanhamento transversal de atletas de futebol com idade cronológica entre 11 a 18 anos nos aspectos antropométricos e desempenho físico observando a dinâmica desses aspectos na população específica do futebol. Material e método: 369 jovens futebolistas com idade cronológica de 11 a 18 anos pertencente às equipes competitivas. Para avaliação de massa corporal (Kg) foi utilizada uma balança digital (Filizola). Para estatura (cm) utilizou-se um estadiômetro (Sanny). As circunferências (cm) de braço relaxado, coxa e panturrilha foram avaliadas utilizando uma fita métrica metálica. As avaliações de composição corporal foram realizadas com um adipômetro (Lange) e coletadas as seguintes pregas cutâneas: tricipital, subescapular, abdominal, supra-ilíaca e panturrilha medial. Os indicadores de desempenho motor foram coletados utilizando um conjunto de quatro fotocélulas (Speed Test System) e um tapete de contato (Jump Test) ambos da marca Cefise. Para a análise estatística dos dados foi utilizada a estatística descritiva (média e desvio padrão e coeficiente de variação) para caracterizar a população do presente estudo. Para determinar as diferenças estatísticas entre as idades cronológicas aplicou-se ANOVA TWO WAY com p<0,001 para tal tratamento. Resultados: As curvas de evolução de todas as variáveis analisadas mostraram-se constantes. As variáveis antropométricas demonstraram uma similaridade nos jovens até 12 anos, contudo, a partir de 13 anos os atletas demonstram diferença significante. Quando comparado a média da população do presente estudo em relação às curvas de estatura e massa corporal com estudos pré - existentes, como do NHANES, os valores aqui encontrados são superiores. Os indicadores de desempenho físico demonstram similaridade de comportamento com as variáveis antropométricas até a idade de 12 anos a partir dessa idade o desempenho motor apresenta diferenças significantes na passagem dos 12 para os 13 anos.Conclusão: Atletas jovens de futebol apresentam variabilidade das curvas nas variáveis antropométricas e desempenho físico. A passagem de 12 para 13 anos aponta uma diferença significante para as variáveis do estudo e repete-se com as demais faixas etárias, sugerindo que a idade cronológica gera interferência / Abstract: Introduction: Football is the sport more practiced and known in the world and had a great evolution in all aspects. Physical demands are of major importance today. For the occurrence of an optimization performance in adult category is necessary to understanding how the development of motor skills and anthropometric aspects over the years. Objective: Follow up soccer players with chronological ages between 11 and 18 years old. This transversal study evaluates anthropometric aspects and physical performance identifying the variability of these aspects at distinctive group of soccer players related to chronological age. Material and Methods: 369 young soccer players with chronological ages between 11 and 18 years old. A digital balance (Filizola) was used to measure body mass (Kg). A stadiometer of aluminum graduated in millimeters(Sanny) was used to measure stature. The circumferences of relaxed arm, thigh and calf were evaluated using metallic tape-measure and the assessments of body composition were obtained with an adipometer (Lange). The following skinfolds were collected: tricipital, subscapular, abdominal, suprailiac and medial calf. The indicators of motor performance were achieved using a set of four photocells (Speed Test System) and a Jump Test System both of Cefise Lab. The descriptive statistic (mean, standard error and coefficient of variation) was used for statistical analysis of data to characterize the group of this study. ANOVA TWO WAY was applied to define statistical differences between chronological ages with p < 0,001. Results: The curves of evolution of all analyzed variables were normal and constant. The variables about anthropometric were similar in young people aged to 12 years, however, since 13 years old the athletes show difference (p<0,001). The mean of the study population showed higher values when compared with the curves of stature and body mass from NHANES. The physical variables show a similar dynamic at 12 years old and since 13 years old the differences are significant (p<0,001) Conclusion: Young soccer players undergoing systematic training loads show normal anthropometric and physical variables curves. The transition from 12 to 13 years old shows a significant difference for the study variables suggesting that the chronological age cause interference / Mestrado / Ciencia do Desporto / Mestre em Educação Física

Title: Questions of choice of sport in young childrens Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is to find out what possibilities there are for children of an younger school age to be introduced to sport and to find out what choice of sport programmes they have. Also, to find out how children and their parents choose sport activities, sport clubs and sport sections. Methods: During my work with children, I applied method of group research, which is part of methodical quality research. Another way how I gathered information from parents with children of an younger school age was by method of quantity research. I've used a questionnaire and also part of my study to find out what are the possibilities how to introduce children to sport I used desk research method. Therefore, during my practise I used combination of both methods- quality and quantity research. Results: I came to a conclusion, that children of an younger school age are most likely to spend their free time outdoors and practise one of many outdoor activities. Most children have an access to these type of activities near their homes and use public parks.With regret I have to point out that knowledge and deeper understanding of wide range of sport sections and sport disciplines are at the beginning of period of children at an younger school...
