This thesis is focused on the verification of an intervation programme which was applied by mentally handicap children within the time of five months. In theoretical part of this thesis I paid attention to the problems which disabled children have. I sketched the basis of the personality integration, on which condition it gives benefits. I mentioned educational systems focused on the physical education and the importace of physical activity connected with it. The purpose of the applied programm was to discover whether there would be an improvement at motoric and social ratios. To prove the positive effect of doing these exercises, I tested the group again after a year. The results are statistically relevant and the course had a positive effect on individuals.\\

This diploma project is engaged in attest to an interventional move programme for integration of mentally affected people. I was testing this programme once a week for five months in terms of one hour at the Special school in Soběslav. This five months running cycle was suspended by holidays. The experimental group was created with 12 pupils between 8 and 17 years old with a middle mentally handicapped from this school. Due to using the standardized tests I tried to find out whether pupils could improve their abilities in these chosen criteria of motoric competence. Children were tested before and after application of the interventional programme. For compare was used other group at basic school in Soběslav too. This group was created with 12 pupils between 10 {--} 18 years old with middle major mentally handicapped. Statistical methods were used to data evaluation .

The points of the Master Thesis have become the research of prevalence in overweight and obesity in adolescent age group, writing out and application of interventional activity programme focused on reduction of overweight and obesity. In theoretical part of the Master Thesis, there was given the characteristic of overweighting and obesity, followed by their causations and complications, and as well as research methods and medical treatment. Two hundred and eight adolescents were undergone the research. The experimental and comparison groups were found upon of those adolescents. The experimental group, thirty adolescents, had undergone through twelve-week-long-programme. Contents of this programme were mainly power-yoga and yoga exercises. After the attendance of this programme; body weights, BMIs, waist circumferences were decreased. As well the sum of skin folds and the sum of body fat were decreased.

Enlisted data were statistically processed and interpreted.

Esta pesquisa reflete sobre possíveis modos de utilização do Yoga para o fazer teatral. Propõe-se a análise de três experimentações previamente realizadas pela autora com grupos distintos de atores/alunos onde se utilizou de diferentes modos as técnicas do Yoga para o Teatro. O estudo tece também um olhar sobre a sociedade atual, refletindo a respeito de seus sujeitos e de seu ritmo de vida, na tentativa de compreender a realidade dos grupos que estiveram em trabalho. Por meio das experimentações, buscaram-se rupturas no ritmo cotidiano desses atores/alunos para o possível estabelecimento de pausas que pudessem promover um processo de preparação fluido para as práticas teatrais. O trabalho está dividido em duas etapas principais: a primeira compreende uma breve explanação da trajetória da autora, bem como suas motivações para a pesquisa, a contextualização da sociedade atual, um breve levantamento histórico/filosófico do Yoga e um apanhado de algumas práticas já realizadas por importantes pessoas de teatro. A segunda, por sua vez, compreende a análise dos experimentos previamente realizados e a promoção de reflexão sobre tais vivências. / In this work, we consider possible uses of Yoga in the practice of Theater. Three trials previously conducted by the author with different groups of actors/students were analyzed. In these trials, Yoga techniques were applied to theatrical performances in different ways. Moreover, this study also looks at the current society, reflecting about their subjects and their way of life, in an attempt to understand the reality of the groups whom we have been working with. Through these experiments, we sought to make these actors / students get away from their daily routines, establishing breaks that could promote a fluid process of preparation for the theatrical practices. The work is divided into two main parts: the first comprises a brief explanation of the trajectory of the author, as well as her motivations for conducting this research, the context of today's society, a brief historical/philosophical survey of Yoga, and an overview of some practices already made by important people in the theater scene. The second part comprises the analysis of previously conducted experiments and a reflection over these experiences.

abstract: The integration of yoga into the music curriculum has the potential of offering many immediate and life-long benefits to musicians. Yoga can help address issues such as performance anxiety and musculoskeletal problems, and enhance focus and awareness during musical practice and performance. Although the philosophy of yoga has many similarities to the process of learning a musical instrument, the benefits of yoga for musicians is a topic that has gained attention only recently. This document explores several ways in which the practice and philosophy of yoga can be fused with saxophone pedagogy as one way to prepare students for a healthy and successful musical career. A six-week study at Arizona State University was conducted to observe the effects of regular yoga practice on collegiate saxophone students. Nine participants attended a sixty-minute "yoga for musicians" class twice a week. Measures included pre- and post- study questionnaires as well as personal journals kept throughout the duration of the study. These self-reported results showed that yoga had positive effects on saxophone playing. It significantly increased physical comfort and positive thinking, and improved awareness of habitual patterns and breath control. Student participants responded positively to the idea of integrating such a course into the music curriculum. The integration of yoga and saxophone by qualified professionals could also be a natural part of studio class and individual instruction. Carrie Koffman, professor of saxophone at The Hartt School, University of Hartford, has established one strong model for the combination of these disciplines. Her methods and philosophy, together with the basics of Western-style hatha yoga, clinical reports on performance injuries, and qualitative data from the ASU study are explored. These inquiries form the foundation of a new model for integrating yoga practice regularly into the saxophone studio. / Dissertation/Thesis / D.M.A. Music 2012

Em 1893 o yoga chega às Américas com a vinda do Swami Vivekananda aos Estados Unidos e no Brasil, nos anos de 1940, Caio Miranda começa a ensinar a prática no Rio de Janeiro. Portanto, o yoga é praticado há sessenta anos no país e há, ainda, poucas pesquisas sobre o mesmo no campo da saúde coletiva, razão esta que justificou o nosso interesse. Além do que em 2002 a Organização Mundial de Saúde incluiu o yoga no conjunto das práticas mente-corpo e estimulou seus países membros a pesquisar e adotar esta prática nos seus sistemas de saúde pública. O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar as percepções dos líderes das principais tradições do yoga em São Paulo sobre a possibilidade da inserção dessa prática como política pública no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e seus processos de formação e profissionalização. Foram identificadas 21 tradições principais, das quais 18 líderes foram entrevistados e três não o foram por diferentes razões. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade em janeiro/fevereiro de 2006; em setembro/outubro de 2008 e abril de 2009, com roteiro construído em três secções: a) Identificação pessoal; b) A prática do yoga e c) Yoga e saúde. As entrevistas tiveram duração média de 1,5h e aconteceram em diferentes locais da cidade de São Paulo, de acordo com os apontamentos dos entrevistados. Todas foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas com base na tradição da análise temática da pesquisa qualitativa. A maioria dos instrutores tem curso superior, formação em yoga adquirida no Brasil e em países estrangeiros, em cursos nos EUA e na Índia, viagens e retiros. Em relação à profissionalização, alguns dos entrevistados tiveram contato muito cedo com o yoga, seja através de leituras, influências familiares, inclinações místicas, estados de saúde delicados ou simples curiosidade. Outros entraram em contato com a prática na idade adulta e decidiram se dedicar à docência do yoga. Os entrevistados atuam em escolas particulares de yoga ou em organizações que promovem diferentes tradições do yoga, dando aulas, palestras, cursos de formação, cursos intensivos e de férias, bem como organizando retiros, viagens, seminários, e alguns escrevem artigos e traduzem livros sobre temas do universo do yoga. Todos os entrevistados aprovam a inclusão do yoga no SUS e elaboraram sugestões sobre: como a prática poderia ser ofertada, o público alvo, as técnicas de yoga a serem ensinadas, a duração das aulas, etc. Algumas áreas em que o yoga poderia fazer importantes contribuições seriam: vegetarianismo; correção postural e integração dos movimentos; cultura de paz; cultivo de valores; abstenção de vícios; consciência espiritual; integração do si; cultivo da atenção, oxigenação cerebral; cultivo de uma disciplina e melhoria da qualidade de vida. Conclui-se que o yoga é visto como um conjunto de práticas físicas, sociais e filosóficas úteis para o campo da saúde, todavia com muitos desafios para a sua integração no SUS, devido à sua identificação com a cultura alternativa e distanciamento das bases epistemológicas da medicina complementar e integrativa. / Abstract: Background: Yoga is a psycho-physical practice systematized by Patanjali, a Hindu sage, who lived in the second century BCE. In 1983, yoga was brought to America by Swami Vivekananda. In Brazil, around 1940, Caio Miranda began teaching the practice in Rio de Janeiro. Thus yoga has been practiced for the last sixty years in the biggest urban centers of the country and there are very few academic studies on the subject in the health field, which is the main reason to justify our interest in the study. Besides, in 2002, the World Health Organization included yoga in the group of the mind-body practices and stimulated its members to study and adopt these practices in the national health systems. Objective: This article explores the São Paulo yoga leaders' perceptions regarding the potential insertion of yoga as a public policy into the Brazilian National Health System, and their process of professionalization. Methods: Twenty one main traditions were identified, of which 18 leaders were interviewed, and the other three didn't participate for different reasons. Indepth interviews were carried out in January/February 2006; September/October 2008 and April 2009, through the application of a questionnaire divided into three sections: (a) personal identification; (b) yoga practice; and (c) yoga and health. The interviews lasted approximately 1.5 hr and took place in various locations in São Paulo city, according to appointments arranged by the interviewees and after they had signed a voluntary consent form. All the interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the qualitative research tradition. Most yoga leaders have college education and acquired their yoga training in Brazil and in foreign countries, like USA and India, and through trips and retreats. Concerning their professionalization, some of the interviewees came in contact with yoga at a young age either through books, family influences, mystical inclinations, delicate states of health or simply curiosity. Others discovered yoga as adults and decided to become yoga teachers. They work in private yoga schools or for organizations which promote different yoga traditions, teaching, giving lectures, courses for teachers, intensive and vacation courses, and they also organize retreats, trips and seminars; some of them write articles and translate books on different themes pertaining to the yoga field. Results: All the interviewees approve the inclusion of yoga in the Brazilian National Health System and suggested how the practice could be applied, the main public, the yoga techniques, the duration of the classes, etc. Areas in which yoga was perceived as being able to make important contributions included: vegetarianism; postural correction and integration of movements; peace culture; the cultivation of virtuous values; abstention from addictive substances; spiritual consciousness; integration of the self; cultivation of awareness; brain oxygenization; cultivation of discipline and improved quality of life. Conclusion: Yoga is seen as a group of useful physical, social, and philosophical practices for the health field. However, challenges to its integration into the BNHS include its maintenance as an alternative culture practice and its distance from the epistemological bases of present complementary and integrative medicine. / Doutorado / Saude Coletiva / Doutor em Saude Coletiva

A experimentação foi feita com a colaboração da Vidraça Cia. de Teatro em Moji Mirim na montagem da peça Carolinas. O trabalho consistiu na avaliação da qualidade vocal dos cinco integrantes do grupo, antes e depois da aplicação da Técnica Energética, realizada por meio da análise de conteúdo dos depoimentos e da comparação do comportamento vocal dos intérpretes. A Técnica Energética propiciou ao artista descobrir a variedade de movimentos criativos que seu corpo pode fazer, a consciência do processo respiratório, a capacidade para conseguir produzir sons com clareza, potência, intensidade, e tom de voz adaptados a cada personagem. Essa técnica pode ser um caminho para o artista conseguir realizar vocalização intensa com grandes variações na entonação vocal e no ritmo. Ao trabalhar com a Técnica Energética, o artista abre canais para o contato com o vazio, proporcionando abertura para uma expressão corporal e vocal mais autêntica, que surge do seu momento interno, da sua imaginação, ou até mesmo de imagens trazidas pela memória, sem interferência do pensamento mais racionalizado. / Abstract: This investigation has as object the direction/conducting of a vocal work for the interpreter by Energetic Technique (ET) application based on Logopedics origins. The essay was realized with collaboration of Vidraça Troupe from Moji Mirim-SP Brazil in the Carolinas play setting. This work consisted in vocal quality evaluation of troupe staff before and after application of ET with result in the analysis of evidences contents and comparison from interpreter's performance. ET propitiated to trouper to discover a variety of creative movement that his/her body can realize, perception of breath process, capacity to produce sounds with clearness, potency, intensity and voice tone adapted to each character. This technique can be a way for the trouper realizes intense vocalization with large variations in vocal intonation and rhythm. Working with Energetic Technic the artist open channels to the contact with vacuum proportioning opening to a corporal and oral expression on more authentic that emerges from his/her internal moment, imagination or even from images translated by memory without interference of a more rationalized reflection. / Mestrado / Artes / Mestre em Artes

Nas últimas décadas, foi possível observar o aumento do número de praticantes e de cursos especializados para a formação de professores de yoga. O caráter recente, somada a falta de institucionalização desta profissão, torna estes professores um grupo ainda pouco estudado. Diante deste cenário, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar a trajetória destes profissionais, assim como as implicações desta escolha na vida destes sujeitos. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa a qual utilizou entrevistas semi-estruturadas para investigar a trajetória de doze professores de yoga da cidade de Campinas. As entrevistas foram transcritas e a análise dos dados foi realizada com o auxílio de um modelo de análise de trajetória construído a partir da revisão sistemática da literatura. Os discursos indicaram que o envolvimento com o yoga acarreta rupturas em diversas dimensões da vida. Sugerem ainda que o alicerce desta escolha profissional esteja além do retorno financeiro ou da estabilidade profissional, e surge como uma forma de satisfazer necessidades ontológicas do ser. (Esta pesquisa contou com o auxílio financeiro da CAPES). / Abstract: Yoga is one of the six philosophical schools of India and in this text is understood as a path, a life's philosophy supported by ethics, philosophical and technical principles. At recent decades, an increase in the number of practitioners have been observed and also the development of many Yoga teachers' courses. The recent condition of this new profession makes these teachers a group that needs to be studied. In this circumstance, the goal of this research was to investigate these professional's trajectory, as well as the life's implications of this professional path. To achieve this goal, a qualitative research was conducted in which semi-structured interviews were used to investigate the trajectory of twelve yoga's teachers of Campinas city. The interviews were transcribed and the data's analysis was done with the support of an analysis' trajectory model constructed through the systematic literature review. These speeches demonstrated that this professional choice leads to disruptions on several life's aspects. They also suggest that the basis of this career choice is beyond the financial return or professional stability, and stand as a way to satisfy ontological needs. (This research had financial support from CAPES). / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Doutor em Educação

Bakgrund: Långvarig smärta är ett stort problem i hela världen. Ett problem med smärtbehandlingarna är dels att smärta är en subjektiv upplevelse som kräver ett mångimensionellt förhållningssätt. Flera av läkemedelsformerna ger besvärliga biverkningar eller har bristfällig effekt beroende på patientens mottaglighet.   Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av komplementära smärtbehandlingar vid långvariga smärtproblem. Metod: Kvalitativ litteraturstudie baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar som analyserats enligt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Ett positivt resultat framkom där många patienter uppskattade det individualiserade bemötandet. Behandlingarna gav andra positiva effekter så som minskning av stress, ångest och depression och inte bara smärta samt att de fick verktyg med sig hem hur de skulle kunna hantera smärtan. Det lyftes även fram några negativa aspekter av ett fåtal patienter. Slutsats: Komplementära behandlingsmetoder påverkar hela patienten positivt gentemot hälsa och välbefiinande. Patienten känner sig sedd och lyssnad till då vårdaren sätter sig in i patientens livsvärld.
