AbstractQuality of Life is an indispensable measure to measure the conditions in which people of a certain social group live. Thus, considering that the reality of physical education students of a private institution is to work during the hours that are not in class, that is, they accumulate work and study activities, implying the absence of time to take care of health and, considering also the lack of studies in this line of research is that this research is persented. Thus, the objective of the present study was to know and analyze the level of quality of life of a group of students of physical education in Rio de Janeiro. A total of 100 physical education students between 18 and 28 years of age from the western zone of Rio de Janeiro who answered the questionnaire SF-36 participated. As a result, it was observed 91% level of functional capacity, 74% for the physical and emotional domains, 57% for mental aspects, 52% for vitality, 47% for general health, 24% of pain and 2% regarding social aspects. However, health professionals, due to precarious socioeconomic needs and working conditions, tend to have their own quality of life compromised to the detriment of professional practice.Keywords: Quality of Life. Physical Exertion. Health Profile.ResumoA Qualidade de Vida constitui uma medida indispensável para mensurar as condições em que pessoas de um determinado grupo social vivem. Dessa forma, considerando que a realidade de estudantes de educação física de instituição privada é trabalhar no horário que não estão em aula, ou seja, acumulam as atividades de trabalho e estudo, implicando à ausência de tempo para cuidar da saúde e, considerando ainda a carência de estudos nessa linha de investigação é que essa pesquisa se apresenta. Dessa maneira, o objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer e analisar o nível de qualidade de vida de um grupo de estudantes de Educação Física do Rio de Janeiro. Participaram 100 estudantes de Educação Física entre 18 e 28 anos da zona oeste do Rio de Janeiro que responderam ao questionário SF-36. Como resultado, percebeu-se um nível de 91% quanto à capacidade funcional, 74% para os domínios aspectos físicos e emocionais, 57% em relação aos aspectos mentais, 52% à vitalidade, 47% ao estado geral de saúde, 24% de dor e 2% no que se refere aos aspectos sociais. Embora profissionais da saúde, devido às necessidades socioeconômicas e condições de trabalho precarizadas, tendem a ter sua própria qualidade de vida comprometida em detrimento da prática profissional.Palavras-chave: Qualidade de Vida.

AbstractBeing physically active is an indispensable condition for health and quality of life. In addition,  literature has presented promising studies on muscle power associations with other parameters of health-related physical fitness. However, there is still little evidence to assess the level of physical activity and muscle power. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the level of physical activity and muscular power of physical education students of a course in Rio de Janeiro. In order to reach the proposed goal, 37 physical education students of both sexes, with a mean age of 26.13 years, participated in responding  the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and performing the horizontal impulse jump test for muscular power. As a result, it was observed that 86% of men were classified as very active and active. For women, 63,63% were identified as very active and active. For power, mean values of 2.02 ± 0.16 for men and 1.48 ± 0.27 for women were obtained. Therefore, it was concluded that both males and females are physically active, although males represent a greater quantitative muscle power, which is largely inferior to previously published studies. Keywords: Muscle Strength.

Além disso, a literatura tem apresentado estudos promissores sobre as associações da potência muscular com outros parâmetros da aptidão física relacionada à saúde. No entanto, ainda são poucas as evidências que buscaram avaliar nível de atividade física e potência muscular. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o nível de atividade física e a potência muscular de estudantes de educação física de um curso no Rio de Janeiro. Para atingir ao objetivo proposto 37 estudantes de educação física, de ambos os sexos, com média de idade de 26,13 anos participaram ao responder ao Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e executar o teste de salto de impulsão horizontal para potência muscular. Como resultado, foi observado que 86% dos homens foram classificados como muito ativos e ativos. Já para mulheres 63,63% foram identificadas como muito ativas e ativas. Para potência obteve-se os valores de média de 2,02 ± 0,16 para homens e 1,48 ± 0,27 para mulheres. Portanto, concluiu-se que tanto o sexo masculino quanto o feminino são ativos fisicamente, embora os homens representem um maior quantitativo a potência muscular mostrou-se inferior, em grande parte, aos estudos anteriormente publicados. Palavras-chave: Força Muscular.

Background:Physical activity level (PAL) is known to play an important role in reducing risk factors associated with sedentarism, in addition to improving the mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQL).Objective:Investigate the relationship of PAL and their domains with HRQL, mood state (MS) and anxiety.Method: 140 Physical Education students (23.6 ± 3.7 years) were evaluated. The Baecke Habitual Physical Activity and Quality of Life (QOL-36) questionnaires, State-Trait Anxiety Inventories (STAI-S and STAI-T) and Profile of Mood States (POMS) scale were used to investigate PAL, HRQL and mental health indicators. Pearson’s correlation coefficient examined the association between PAL and both mental health and HRQL parameters.Results:There was a correlation between state anxiety and both the domain leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) (p = 0.013) and total PAL score (p = 0.010). In relation to MS, a negative correlation was found between LTPA and total mood disorder (TMD) (p = 0.004). However, there were positive correlations between the vigor subscale and both LTPA (p=0.001) and total PAL (p=0.019). With respect to HRQL, analysis of the relationship between LTPA and total PAL demonstrated positive coefficients with the physical component summary (PCS) (p=0.000; p = 0.005), mental component summary (MCS) (p = 0.000; p = 0.006) and total HRQL (p = 0.000; p = 0.003).Conclusion:The findings suggest that the rise in LTPA was related to an increase in HRQL and MS. However, PAL was positively related to anxiety.

AbstractAim: The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the association of the Body Mass Index (BMI) and quality of life (QoL) components in students aged 19 to 22 that attended physical education classes once a week during a whole semester. The students come from different faculties of the West University of Timişoara.Methods: The research was conducted during the physical education classes to which they participated during one semester. The research has begun in October 2018 and ended in January 2019. A total of 400 students were asked to participate in this study, 200 female and 200 male students. As research methods, we used the RAND 36 Item Short Form Health Survey SF-36 questionnaire to assess the quality of life, as well as the statistical-mathematical method.Results: Our results showed that 66% of the students had a normal BMI, 12% are underweight, 17% are overweight and 12% are obese. It has been found that the quality of life score does not depend on the body mass index. No correlation has been found between the QOL total score and BMI in neither male students r=0.035, R²=0.0012, p=0.62, nor female students r=-0.01, R²<0.001, p=0.88.

A prática de exercícios é aceita como uma importante ferramenta no que tange seu impacto em relação à melhora do rendimento físicoesportivo, bem como na saúde da população. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar possíveis correlações entre o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2máx), potência muscular (ImpHoriz) e o índice de massa corporal (IMC) em estudantes de Educação Física. Dezesseis estudantes de Educação Física de uma faculdade particular localizada na zona oeste do Rio de Janeiro, de ambos os sexos, foram recrutados para o presente estudo. Os participantes realizaram três testes, durante três dias não consecutivos, com intervalo de 48 horas entre eles. Durante o primeiro dia de teste, medição da massa corporal total e altura foram realizadas para posterior cálculo do índice de massa corporal, o segundo dia de teste consistiu na avaliação da capacidade cardiorrespiratória e terceiro dia de teste consistiu na avaliação de força de membros inferiores. Como resultado, não foram encontradas boa correlação entre IMC e VO2máx (r = -0,168) e ImpHoriz (r = 0,242). Em contrapartida, foi observada boa correlação entre ImpHoriz e VO2máx (r = 0,801). Conclui-se que o IMC está diretamente relacionado com a potência muscular. Entretanto, em indivíduos fisicamente ativos esse fator parece não influenciar.Palavras-chave: Atividade Física.

The purpose of the present study was to verify possible correlations among maximal oxygen consumption (VO2máx), muscle power (ImpHoriz), and body mass index (BMI) in Physical Education students. Sixteen Physical Education students from a private university located in the Western zone of Rio de Janeiro, of both sexes, were recruited for the present study. Participants performed three tests, during three non-consecutive days, with 48 hours rest interval among them. During the first testing day, total body mass and height measurement were performed for mass index calculation. The second and third testing day consisted of the cardiorespiratory capacity and lower limb muscle power evaluation, respectively. As result, weak correlation was found between BMI and VO2máx (r = -0.168) and ImpHoriz (r = 0.242). However, strength correlation was observed between VO2máx and ImpHoriz (r = 0.801). It is concluded that BMI is directly related to muscle power. However, in physically active subjects this factor does not influence.Keywords: Exercice. Athletic Performance. Performance.

The aim was to review the effects of cooperative learning interventions on intrinsic motivation in physical education students, as well as to conduct a meta-analysis to determinate the overall effect size of these interventions. The PRISMA guidelines were followed to conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis. The PEDro Scale was used to assess the risk of bias and the GRADE approach was used to evaluate the quality of the evidence. A total of five studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and they were included in the meta-analysis. Effect size for intrinsic motivation of each study was calculated using the means and standard deviations of the Perceived Locus of Causality Scale (PLOC) before and after the intervention. The overall effect size for intrinsic motivation was 0.38 (95% CI from 0.17 to 0.60) while the heterogeneity was large. Although four of the five studies reported significant within-group improvements in intrinsic motivation, only three studies showed significant between-group differences in favor of the experimental group. The findings showed that program duration and participant age may be relevant factors that must be considered by educators and researchers to conduct future effective interventions. Cooperative learning interventions could be a useful teaching strategy to improve physical education students’ intrinsic motivation. However, given the large heterogeneity and the low quality of the evidence, these findings must be taken with caution.

ResumoAtualmente, embora o preconceito ainda exista, está escondido. Tradicionalmente, o preconceito contra a mulher na Educação Física pode ser observado, tanto no ambiente escolar, como esportivo. Diante de diferentes situações que as mulheres já vivenciaram, no que se refere ao mercado de trabalho, na Educação Física, há alguns casos que evidenciam esforços de algumas mulheres em criarem espaços alternativos. Diante desses fatos, o objetivo deste manuscrito foi conhecer e analisar a concepção de mulheres acadêmicas do curso de Bacharelado em Educação Física sobre os desafios encontrados no cotidiano profissional. Participaram do estudo 42 mulheres, estudantes de Educação Física, que faziam estágio em academia de ginástica, com idade entre 20 e 50 anos, todas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A coleta de dados foi realizada no primeiro semestre do ano de 2018. Nesse contexto, foram adotados os seguintes critérios de inclusão: a) ser do sexo feminino; b) estar cursando graduação em Educação Física e; c) estar em período de estágio acadêmico obrigatório ou não. Desse modo, o critério de exclusão foi o não atendimento a qualquer um dos critérios de inclusão. As estudantes responderam a um questionário e participaram de uma entrevista. Os resultados indicaram que os desafios encontrados no cotidiano são o assédio no caminho para o trabalho, no ambiente profissional e representações de sexo frágil, no que se refere ao trabalho com pesos nas academias de ginástica. Palavras-chave: Mulheres. Educação Física. Práticas Sociais. AbstractNowadays, although prejudice still exists, it is hidden. Traditionally, prejudice against women in physical education can be observed in both the school and sports environments. Faced with different situations that women have already experienced regarding the labor market, in physical education there are some cases that show some women's efforts to create alternative spaces. Given these facts, the purpose of this manuscript was to know and analyze the conception of female students of the bachelor degree course in physical education about the challenges encountered in their daily work. The study included 42 women, Physical Education students who were interning in a gym, aged between 20 and 50 years, all of them from the city of Rio de Janeiro. Data collection was performed in the first semester of 2018. In this context, the following inclusion criteria were adopted: a) being female; b) being studying undergraduate degree in Physical Education and; c) being in a period of compulsory academic internship or not. Thus, the exclusion criterion was not meeting any of the inclusion criteria. The students answered a questionnaire and participated in an interview. The results indicated that the challenges encountered in daily life are harassment on the way to work, in the professional environment and fragile sex representations concerning working out with weights in gyms. Keywords: Women. PE. Social practices.
