A Actividade Física Adaptada à Pessoa com Deficiência (PcD) é reconhecida como um óptimo meio para a inclusão social desse grupo. No entanto, o grau de inclusão da PcD dependerá em grande parte das atitudes manifestadas pelos diferentes grupos populacionais, assumindo que uma atitude positiva influencia o comportamento da pessoa em relação a um grupo social específico. Em Moçambique, espera-se que técnicos desportivos capacitados em modalidades adaptadas à PcD, além de técnicos, sejam agentes que promovam a inclusão social. OBJECTIVO: o objectivo do presente estudo foi validar uma proposta metodológica que gere atitudes positivas em relação à deficiência, melhorando assim o perfil dos formados em cursos de agentes desportivos. MÉTODO: a proposta foi submetida a um processo de validação por especialistas, composto por um painel de 21 especialistas de quatro países (Espanha, Portugal, Brasil e Moçambique), seleccionados por meio de um questionário para determinação do coeficiente de competência. Para a análise dos resultados, foi utilizada a estatística inferencial (medidas de tendência central e dispersão) e o coeficiente de concordância "W de Kendall". RESULTADO: os especialistas avaliaram satisfatoriamente oito descritores, dentre eles, o contexto da proposta e sua aplicabilidade; o desenho, objectivos e estratégias da metodologia; os critérios de sucesso, o tempo estimado para sua implementação e os resultados esperados. CONCLUSÃO: foi validada por especialistas uma proposta metodológica com o objectivo de melhorar a atitude do formando em relação à deficiência. The Physical Activity Adapted to the Person with Disabilities (PwD) is recognized as an optimal path for the social inclusion of this group. However, the degree of inclusion of PwD will largely depend on the attitudes manifested by the different population groups, assuming that a positive attitude influences the behavior of the person towards a specific social group. In Mozambique, it is expected that the sports technicians trained in modalities adapted to the PwD, in addition to being technicians, will be agents that stimulate social inclusion. OBJECTIVE: the objective of the present study was to validate a methodological proposal that generates positive attitudes towards disability, thus improving the profile of the trainees leaving in courses for sports technicians. METHOD: the proposal was submitted to a validation process by experts, made up of a panel of 21 specialists from four countries (Spain, Portugal, Brazil and Mozambique), selected through a questionnaire to determine the coefficient of competence. For the analysis of the results, inferential statistics (measures of central tendency and dispersion) and the coefficient of agreement "Kendall's W" were used. RESULT: the experts satisfactorily evaluated eight descriptors, among them, the context of the proposal and its applicability; the design, objectives and strategies of the methodology; the success criteria, the estimated time for its implementation and the expected results. CONCLUSION: a methodological proposal with the aim of improving the attitude of the person being trained towards disability was validated by specialists.

Positive Attitudes

Background:Policies that encourage physical activity are recommended to increase physical activity rates. Few studies have examined public support for such policies. The aim of this study was to assess support for policies that may increase active transport and correlates of this support.Methods:A telephone survey was administered to 460 Oklahoma residents.Results:Most respondents supported policies that may encourage walking and bicycling for transport. Most favored the improvement of public transportation over building new roads to address transportation concerns. In multivariate models, a positive attitude toward walking was the only variable significantly associated with support for most policy outcomes (p < 0.05). Participation in active commuting and a positive attitude toward bicycling were correlates of strong support for the creation of bike ways (p < 0.05).Conclusions:Experience with active commuting and positive attitudes toward walking and bicycling are associated with support for policies that may encourage walking and bicycling for transport.

Ingroup Identity

We consider how ingroup norms, identification and individual attitudes interact when a behaviour (heavy alcohol consumption) is defining of an ingroup identity. We sampled 115 students at a UK university, measuring ingroup identification and attitudes to heavy drinking before manipulating the ingroup drinking norm (moderate vs. heavy). Heavy drinking intentions and tendencies to socially include/exclude two target students—one of whom drank alcohol regularly and one of whom did not—were measured. As predicted, participants with a positive attitude to heavy drinking and who identified strongly with the ingroup reported stronger intentions to drink heavily when the ingroup had a moderate, rather than a heavy drinking norm, indicating resistance to the normative information. A complementary pattern emerged for the social inclusion/exclusion measures. Implications for theory and interventions that focus on group norms are discussed.

Social Importance

People with visual impairment have greater difficulty in accessing physical activity and sport, and a lack of social interaction is also associated with a risk of exclusion. Work is currently being done to include people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport. However, there is a lack of studies examining the status and overall effectiveness of interventions in the pre- and post-COVID stage. This study aimed to provide solid evidence on the characteristics and effectiveness of interventions for the inclusion of people with visual impairment through physical activity and sport in order to address the need for dissemination on this topic. The bibliographic search was carried out with the words “Physical activity”, “Physical exercise”, “Sport”, “Physical training”, “visual disability”, “visual impairment” and “inclusion” in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar from 2018 to 2021.The article selection process was according to the PRISMA protocol with a final selection of nine articles. The main results highlighted that the programmes improve the perception of people with disabilities, increase social skills and health and increase the social importance of people with disabilities in the social environment. Among the most generalised conclusions were the need for specialised training, the need for social inclusion and participation of people with visual impairment in their environments and increased physical activity.

Este artículo describe los efectos de un programa de actividades físicas variadas sobre la condición física-funcional y la estabilidad del adulto mayor, teniendo en cuenta que el envejecimiento de los individuos comienza con procesos de deterioro paulatino de órganos y funciones asociadas, lo que conlleva una serie de cambios cardiovasculares, respiratorios, metabólicos, músculo-esqueléticos y motrices, ente otros, reduciéndose la capacidad de esfuerzo y resistencia al estrés físico. De esta manera, en el adulto mayor se ve mermada su autonomía, habilidad y capacidad de aprendizaje motriz y, por lo tanto, su calidad de vida. En esta perspectiva, un adulto mayor sano es aquel capaz de enfrentar el proceso de cambio a un nivel adecuado de adaptabilidad funcional y satisfacción. El concepto de independencia es clave dentro de la definición de salud para el adulto mayor; por tanto, es importante conceptualizar y abordar la independencia funcional como la capacidad de cumplir acciones requeridas en el diario vivir, para mantener el cuerpo y desarrollar independientemente las actividades de la vida cotidiana.

The Relationship

In this article, we explore the relationship between public recreation policy and planning and the transformation of urban governance in the context of the Police Athletic League centers in Baltimore, Maryland. In light of contemporary discussions of the role of youth programs for sport and physical activity within post-industrial cities, the origination, development, and eventual demise of Baltimore’s network of Police Activity League centers is an instructive, if disheartening, saga. It illustrates the social and political rationales mobilized in justifying recreation policy and programming, the framing of sport and physical activity as preventative measures towards crime and juvenile delinquency, and the precarity of such initiatives given the efficiency-driven orthodoxies of neoliberal urban entrepreneurialism (Harvey, 1989). This analysis emphasizes how the PAL centers were designed to ‘fill the void’ left by a declining system of public recreation, thereby providing an example of a recreation program as part of the “social problems industry” (Pitter &amp; Andrews 1997).

Literary Model

This article compares the anonymous ‘capable woman’ of Proverbs 31 with Mibtahiah of Elephantine. Both women are presented as wealthy occupiers of estates with economic success and influence in society. Both literary portraits unfold positive attitudes towards female characters, but present two divergent gender conceptions. The construction of Proverbs 31 depicts the ‘capable woman’ as an ideal character who amalgamates various social female roles and benefits from acting according to the wisdom teachings. The ‘capable woman’ provides a literary model of identification and imitation with an offer to share one’s identity with her. The Elephantine papyri reveal a divergent conception of another wealthy woman with influence insociety. Mibtahiah inherits an estate and enlarges her domain through additional economical purchase. She also takes a leading role in her family. The social role of Mibtahiah seems to be comparatively progressive, since the documents clearly indicate a juridical equalisation of men and women. The two conceptions of influential female characters present wealthy woman with potential in society. Thus, the positive attitude towards the two women is based on their wealth. ‘Welvarende vroue’ in antieke tye: Die ‘knap vrou’ van Spreuke 31:10−31 en Mibtahiahvan Elephantine. Hierdie artikel vergelyk die anonieme ‘knap vrou’ van Spreuke 31 met Mibtahiah van Elephantine. Albei vroue word voorgehou as die welvarende, invloedryke en ekonomies suksesvolle eienaars van landgoedere. Albei letterkundige weergawes openbaar ’n positiewe ingesteldheid teenoor vroulike karakters, maar verteenwoordig twee uiteenlopende geslagskonsepte. Spreuke 31 beeld die ‘knap vrou’ uit as die ideale karakter wat die verskeie rolle van die vrou met gemak hanteer en voordeel uit wysheidsonderrig trek. Die ‘knap vrou’ is ’n navolgenswaardige model met wie iemand sou wou identifiseer. Die Elephantine papyri openbaar ’n verskillende perspektief op ’n ander welgestelde en invloedryke vrou, Mibtahiah, wat ’n landgoed erf en deur verdere aankope. Sy speel ook ’n leidende rol in haar familie. Dit blyk asof die sosiale rol wat Mibtahiah gespeel het betreklik progressief was omdat die geskrifte ’n duidelike juridiese gelykmaking van mans en vroue aandui. Hierdie twee konsepte van invloedryke vroulike karakters stel die vermoënde vrou met potensiaal in die samelewing voor. Dus is die positiewe houding teenoor die twee vroue op hulle welvarendheid gebaseer.

Previous research has shown that presenting yourself as an “exerciser” through participation in physical activity (PA) can help alleviate stigma associated with having a disability. The purpose of this study is to explore whether brief messages emphasizing the social benefits of PA affect intentions to engage in PA among people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Ninety inactive adults with SCI will respond to a baseline questionnaire and will receive a message promoting the social benefits of PA over the telephone. In a two-week follow-up interview, affective and instrumental attitudes, intentions, and stigma consciousness will be measured. Data is currently being collected and preliminary results will be presented. It is hypothesized that messages promoting social benefits of PA will lead to more positive attitudes and increased intentions to engage in PA.

Abstract The theme of the paper is very topical in global and European context. It brings theoretical information on the concept of asocial model of early care in the Czech Republic and practical case studies and final reports related to the early care provision which demonstrate tangible activities within the system of the complex support and assistance to children with disability and their families. The author applies the theoretical-practical approach as she is of the opinion that „the practice without theory is as a blind person on the road and the theory without practice is as a cart without an axle”. The aim of the paper is to extend theoretical information on the topic in the Czech Republic by individual examples of final reports related to the provision of social prevention of the early care in the Czech Republic. The overall aim of the paper is to justify topicality and eligibility of early care in its broad reference framework, including its practical impact. The theoretical basis of the paper is elaborated with respect to the analysis and comparison of Czech and foreign literature, legislation, methodology document and other relevant written resources. The practical level is elaborated with respect to 3 cases and final reports of the provider of an early care of the social prevention. The early care in the Czech Republic represents a professional, modern and recognized system in European and global comparison and is legally anchored in the Act 108/2006 Coll. on social services. It aims on the minimization of child´s disability impact upon child´s development, especially the social inclusion of a child and a family and their capability to cope with limitating disability in natural environ, i.e. by the preservation of standard way of life. It represents a multi-dimensional model, overcoming limitation of sectoral division of the early care and facilitating complex assistance from a series of subject fields at the same time. Services for families with an endangered child in early age are the background for social, educational and pedagogical inclusion of a child and the re-socialisation and re-inclusion of a family. Early care is considered preventive, from the point of the prevention of the second disability (i.e. is effective), in the prevention of institutionalized and asylum care (i.e. is economical), in the prevention of segregation (i.e. is ethical).
