Abstract(s)
Enquadramento: As diferenças culturais e as realidades vividas em diferentes países e continentes podem ser determinantes na formação multidisciplinar do ser humano. Numa época em que a individualidade deve ser potenciada, é importante conhecermos as diferenças de modo a que o planeamento e o treino sejam o mais direccionados para o desenvolvimento das capacidades de cada individuo aceitando as suas diferenças.
Objectivos: Comparar os níveis de aptidão física, de alunos provenientes dos países PALOP, com os valores obtidos pelos alunos Portugueses, na faixa etária compreendida entre os 15 e 20 anos, identificando fatores que possam influenciar positivamente e negativamente as divergências de resultados.
Método: De uma amostra de 231 alunos (166 Portugueses e 65 Palops) do 3º ciclo de escolas do concelho de Viseu foram recolhidos dados relativos à aptidão física dos alunos com recurso à aplicação da bateria de testes Fitnessgram complementada com um questionário.
Resultados: Verificaram, de um modo geral, diferenças significativas na bateria de testes Fitnessgram para avaliação da aptidão física entre alunos Portugueses e PALOP. O cruzamento dos resultados do questionário com a avaliação da aptidão física mostraram uma clara influência do contexto, a cultura e da importância dada ao corpo, i.e., os alunos portugueses apresentam maior tendência para o sendentarismo e a inatividade em comparação com os PALOP.
Conclusão: Face aos resultados obtidos, consideramos ser fundamental conhecer os fatores que influenciam as diferenças individuais, de modo a potenciar as características de cada individuo e a sua complexidade fisiológica. É urgente orientar os formandos na promoção de um estilo de vida saudável e destacar que a evolução característica dos países desenvolvidos não tem contribuído positivamente para os resultados de Aptidão Física.
Background: Cultural differences and living realities in different countries and continents can be decisive in multidisciplinary training of human beings. At a time when individuality should be enhanced, it is important to know the differences so that planning and training are more targeted towards the development of the capacities of each individual accepting their differences. Objectives: To compare the fitness levels of students from PALOP countries with scores obtained by Portuguese students, aged between 15 and 20 years, identifying factors that may influence positively and negatively diverging results. Method: In a sample of 231 students (166 Portuguese and 65 PALOP) intermediate schools in Viseu, data were collected concerning physical skills of students using the application of the Fitnessgram test battery supplemented by a questionnaire. Results: There were generally significant differences in the Fitnessgram test battery for evaluation of fitness among Portuguese students and PALOP. The intersection of the results of the questionnaire with the physical fitness assessment showed a clear influence of the context, culture and the importance given to the body, this is, Portuguese students are more likely to sedentary behaviors and inactivity compared to PALOP . Conclusion: Considering the results, we consider it’s essential to understand the factors that influence the individual differences, to enhance the characteristics of each individual and their physiological complexity. It is urgent to guide learners in promoting a healthy lifestyle and to emphasize that the evolution characteristic of developed countries has contributed positively to the results of Physical Fitness.
