Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os níveis de aptidão física relacionadas a saúde de escolares 5º ao 9º ano de duas escolas do município de Mafra. Esse manuscrito apresenta dados preliminares do projeto intitulado “Análise de Saúde do Escolar de Mafra” (ASESC). Para tanto, duas escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino foram contempladas em uma população de 900 indivíduos obtendo uma amostra final de 255 escolares. Foram medidos e avaliados dados antropométricos de massa corporal, estatura, perímetro de cintura, dobras cutâneas de tríceps e panturrilha obtendo o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e o percentual de gordura.  Para os testes de aptidão física (flexibilidade, capacidade cardiorrespiratória e força) foram utilizados os propostos da Bateria de Testes do Projeto Esporte Brasil (teste de corrida e caminha dos 6 minutos; teste de sentar e alcançar; número de abdominais em 1 minuto). A amostra obteve uma média de idade de 12,6 (DP=1,24) anos sendo 48,6% (n=124) meninos e 51,4% (n=131) meninas. Dados de IMC revelaram que 27,5% estavam acima do peso. No perímetro de cintura 16,5% estavam em situação de risco e 45,4% encontravam-se com percentual de gordura acima do recomendado. O teste de flexibilidade revelou que 20,4% estavam em situação de risco e no teste de resistência de força 32,9%. No teste de aptidão cardiorrespiratória 35% foram avaliados abaixo do recomendado. Os dados revelam distúrbios da composição corporal e uma prevalência significativa de escolares com aptidão física relacionada à saúde abaixo do recomendado refletindo a necessidade de intervenções em saúde.ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the levels of health related physical fitness in students from 5th to 9th grade from two public schools in the city of Mafra. This manuscript introduces preliminary information about the project titled "Health Analysis of the Schools of Mafra" (ASESC). Therefore, two public schools from the municipal school system of Mafra have been included with a total of 900 subjects, obtaining a final sample of 255 students. Anthropometric data of body mass, height, waist circumference, triceps and calf skinfolds were measured and evaluated, obtaining body mass index (BMI) and percentage of fat. For the physical fitness tests (Flexibility, Cardiovascular Endurance and Strength), the battery test suggested by the Brazilian Sport Project (application of 6-minute-run / walk; sit-and-reach test) has been used. The sample has a mean age of 12.6 years old (DP01,24), being 48.6% (n = 124) boys and 51.4% (n = 131) girls. Classification based on BMI disclosed 27.5% were overweight. For the waist circumference, 16.5% were in the risk zone and 45.4% were above the appropriate percentage of fat. The Flexibility test disclosed that 20.4% were in a high-risk situation and in the test of strength endurance 32.9%. In the cardiovascular endurance tests, 35% were rated below the suitable level. The data on the achievements reveal disorders of body composition and a significant prevalence of students with health-related physical fitness below the recommended level, which reflects the need for health interventions.

<p> </p><p>The goal of this research is to investigate schools’ policy of using a mobile phone at schools from the perspective of secondary school students in Indonesia. It happens to be a long debate involving educators in Indonesia on whether or not the use of smartphone can be allowed in schools. So far, all we hear is the perspectives of teachers and schools’ administrators regarding the ban but never from the students, even though the students are the subject of these debates. This research is conducted in order to investigate, as well as to give the opportunity for students’ to voice their opinion, point of views, and perspectives toward the issue of banning smartphone use at schools. The data of this research was collected through online survey aimed at secondary schools’ students in Gorontalo, Indonesia. There are 250 students from 5 high schools have responded to the online surveys. The result shows that even though students mostly believe that the use of smartphone should be integrated into teaching and learning process, an appropriate policy of using it at school should be designed in order to get rid of the negative impact cause by it, and to maximize the use of it as a sophisticated resource to help students learn better at school.</p>

Background and objective: This study aimed to investigate the changes and trends in various measures of physique and physical fitness in Korean adults from 2009 to 2017. Material and methods: The physique and physical fitness levels of 19,415 Korean adults aged 20-69 years were investigated using data from the Survey of National Physical Fitness conducted by the Korea Institute of Sport Science. Physical fitness variables included muscular strength (grip strength), muscular endurance (sit-up exercise), power (standing long jump), cardiovascular endurance (20-m shuttle run), and flexibility (sit and reach exercise). Differences between physique and physical fitness variables were evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results were expressed as an intensification factor. Results: A significant relationship was identified between physique and physical fitness variables (P < 0.05), excluding power and flexibility (r = -0.003, P = 0.683). Height and weight increased in men and women in all age groups except those in the age group of 60-69 years; in this age group, a decrease in height was observed in men, and a decrease in weight was observed in both sexes. Men aged 40-49 years and women aged 20-29 years demonstrated a rapid increase in body mass index (BMI). Muscular strength decreased dramatically in both sexes from the age of 40 years. Muscular endurance increased within each age group, most significantly in men aged 60-69 years (32.01%) and women aged 50-59 years (21.0%). However, absolute muscular endurance decreased with age. Power increased significantly in men aged 60-69 years (5.61%) and women aged 20-29 years (2.60%), but decreased in men aged 40-49 years (-2.84%) and women aged 60-69 years (-1.89%). Cardiovascular endurance decreased after the age of 30 years in both sexes, with maximum decrease in men aged 40-49 years (-0.77%) and women aged 60-69 years (-9.33%). Flexibility decreased from the age of 30 years in both sexes: men aged 20-29 years (-24.25%) and women aged 30-39 years (-6.60%) showed the maximum decrease. Conclusion: Overall, the following trends were found: BMI increase is likely to occur in men in their 30s and 40s and women in their 60s; muscular strength rapidly decreases in men and women in their 40s; muscular endurance increases over time in men compared to that in women; power reinforcement exercise is necessary for both men and women in their 40s to overcome decreased power; cardiorespiratory endurance largely decreases during the 20s; and flexibility tends to decrease largely in men from the 20s to 40s. There is a correlation between physique and physical fitness in Korean adults. Moreover, the physical fitness level decreases with age. Regular exercise is recommended to improve physical fitness and prevent aging.

Considering the opportunity of reconstruction of ideas is very important for success in the learning process. For this purpose, a metavisual strategy was used, comparing images, one made by the students and the other presented by the researcher so they could compare and be able to rebuild their ideas, the latter an image based on a scientific accepted model. The research focus was the comprehension of the symbolic level by the learners while studying two electrochemical interactions by comparing images and rethinking about them. Thirty-two high school students, organized in pairs, participated in the research carrying out a proposed teaching and learning sequence (TLS) in the classroom. First, the students proposed hypotheses and then they had the opportunity to rethink about them modeling their learning. Students were filmed and the transcriptions and registers made by them were analyzed later. The results indicate a qualitative and progressive improvement in the learning of the subject when using the metavisual strategy, bringing evidence that it can be efficient to build and rebuild initial concepts in electrochemistry. Key words: electrochemical teaching, metacognition, metavisualization, metavisual strategy, modeling.
