The formative processes of Brazilian physical education teachers address the bodily practices of adventure in some initial and continuing teacher education courses. In this article, we investigated the theme in the context of the physical education degree course at the Federal University of Ceará, in northeastern Brazil, with students who participated in the pedagogical residency program. The objective is to identify how adventure bodily practices are associated with sports, as a cultural element, and the environmental themes from the lesson plans prepared by scholarship students from the pedagogical residency program in physical education. The methodology is guided by the qualitative research approach, with descriptive characteristics, and theoretically subsidized by a thematic convergence proposal, based on the survey of 17 lesson plans that addressed the systematization of adventure bodily practices. We identified five adventure sports for elementary and high school, with predominance, respectively, of skateboarding, parkour, slackline, surfing and paintball in the theme of the classes. As a result, we found that the proposal can guide teachers when planning their classes regarding adventure practices, adding different perspectives in the theoretical and methodological field of physical education. The findings allowed us to understand, foremost, the convergence between adventure practices and the environmental demands.

Purpose This paper aims to review two micro-trends influencing the landscape of adventure tourism activities in Nepal. In spite of being a popular adventure tourism destination for more than half a century, the offer of adventure tourism activities in Nepal remained limited until recently. Design/methodology/approach This study underpinned by interpretive epistemology used netnographic methods of data collection. As such, 15 stakeholderss’ interviews were conducted, and 25 grey literature sources were collected. Findings The findings suggest that a bottom-up approach to the development of emerging adventure sports and the upsurge of domestic adventure tourism are the micro-trends influencing the adventure tourism landscape in Nepal. This paper discusses skiing and mountain biking as emerging land-based adventure activities. One distinguishing feature is that those initiatives are driven by locals passionate about this sport. Furthermore, skiing and mountain biking are promoted for both international and domestic tourists. Overall, the findings highlight the growth of the domestic adventure tourism market in Nepal. Practical implications This study recommends shifting attention from focussing merely on international visitors and to establish domestic adventure tourism market. For practitioners, including tourism agencies and wider industry stakeholders, it might be important to explore the demand in adventure tourism and create products for domestic adventure tourism. Social implications Creating and expanding adventure tourism activities for locals would not only provide economic benefit but also contribute to well-being and recreation opportunities for Nepali. Originality/value To date, research on adventure tourism activities in Nepal other than mountaineering remains scant. This paper contributes towards understanding the micro-trends influencing the landscape of adventure tourism activities in Nepal and for the first time, explores the trends of Nepal’s domestic adventure tourism market.
