Abstract(s)
A prática de atividade física assume um papel fundamental para a qualidade de vida dos
indivíduos e consequentemente para a sociedade em geral. A educação para um estilo de vida
ativo e saudável deve começar desde cedo, tendo a escola tem um papel predominante, uma
vez que é o local onde as crianças e jovens passam grande parte do seu tempo e onde se
encontram os profissionais indicados realizar uma intervenção com qualidade. Contudo, nem
sempre os jovens estão motivados para a prática desportiva.
A introdução dos Desportos de Combate na escola pode ser um meio não só para motivar os
jovens para a prática da atividade física mas também desenvolver de modo integrado as
capacidades físicas e competências sociais. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar se o
karaté, permite melhorar as capacidades físicas, sociais e emocionais dos jovens.
Para concretizar o objetivo foram selecionados, aleatoriamente, 88 alunos do ensino básico
(M=13 anos), de duas escolas do concelho da Covilhã. A amostra foi dividia em dois grupos, um
grupo de teste, onde ocorreu a intervenção e um grupo de controlo. Para comparar os efeitos
de uma intervenção, de 4 semanas, cada grupo realizou antes e após a intervenção a bateria
de testes físicos e o questionário SAQp. Para avaliar as competências sociais e emocionais,
utilizou-se os questionários PACS e Bar-On.
Os resultados revelam que existiram diferenças significativas para as capacidades flexibilidade
(de 0,42cm para 1,81cm) e força explosiva dos membros superiores (2,6 metros para 3,5
metros). Para as competências sociais verificou-se uma diminuição dos índices de batota
desportiva (de 1,7 para 1). Os questionários SAQp, PACS e Bar-On, revelaram que o grupo de
controlo apresenta melhor índice de competências sociais e emocionais.
Com base no estudo é possível concluir que a introdução dos desportos de combate na escola
permite melhorar algumas capacidades físicas assim como as competências desportivas
nomeadamente a batota. Por sua vez, ao nível das competências sociais e emocionais não foi
possível verificar se existiu melhorias uma vez que o teste apenas foi aplicado no fim da
intervenção.
The physical activity plays a key role to improve life quality. Education for an active lifestyle and healthy life should start early. School- based intervention can be a way to promote these behaviour since children and youth spend much of their time at school, they have access to professionals in other to ensure intervention with quality. Combat Sports in school can be seen a mean to motivate young people to physical activity practice and to develop in an integrative way physical capabilities with social skills. Therefore, the present work aims to evaluate if specific karate, improves the physical, social and emotional skills in young people. To achieve the goal, 88 elementary school students (M= 13 years) were randomly selected from two schools of Covilhã. Students were divided in two groups, a test group, where the intervention was conducted and control group. To compare the effect of 4 weeks intervention, each group performed before and after intervention the physical tests and SAQp questionnaire. To assess social and emotional competencies, PACS and Bar-On questionnaires were used. The results show significant differences for flexibility (from 0,42cm to 1,81cm) and arms strength (2,6 to 3,5 meters) capacities. For social skills, there was a decrease in sports cheating values (from 1,7 to 1). The SAQp, PACS and Bar-On, questionnaires revealed that the control group has a better percentage of social and emotional skills. Based on the results, we can concluded that the introduction of karate in school improves physical abilities as well as social skills including cheating. However, for social and emotional skills no conclusion can be made.
