Abstract(s)
O exercício físico regular traduz-se na melhoria de diversos fatores para os praticantes,
tanto a nível físico onde melhoram a resistência muscular e cardiovascular, a força, a
flexibilidade, entre outras, como a nível psicológico sendo que este está associado a
uma diminuição de doenças do foro psicológico. Para que esta atividade física seja
realizada de forma adequada, os profissionais de exercício físico, em contexto de clubes
de saúde/ginásios devem corresponder a algumas competências para com os sócios dos
mesmos como por exemplo o domínio técnico onde demostram ter capacidades para
prescrever um treino, domínio pedagógico onde demonstram ter capacidades para
orientar um treino ou aulas de grupo e o domínio da comunicação que permite ter um
relacionamento profissional e ético com os clientes. Posto isto, o objetivo geral deste
estágio curricular realizado no clube Holmes Place - Coimbra consistiu no
desenvolvimento de novas competências relacionadas com o profissional do exercício
físico, estando já integrado num contexto real. Neste foram realizadas diversas
atividades passando por todos os departamentos do clube desde direção de um
ginásios/health club, passando pela limpeza e manutenção, receção, fisioterapia até ao
trabalho desenvolvido pelos profissionais do exercício físico como os treinos
acompanhados e as aulas de grupo. Durante a realização do estágio foi desenvolvido
um trabalho de investigação com o objetivo principal avaliar a perceção de fadiga e a
relação com o trabalho desenvolvido pelos instrutores de fitness. Os resultados
demonstraram uma correlação positiva e forte entre a perceção de fadiga e o tempo
total de trabalho nos profissionais de fitness avaliados, o que sugere que quanto maior
a carga horária de trabalho, maior a perceção de fadiga. As tarefas que mais aumentam
os níveis de fadiga são as que exigem maior interação individual e personalização como
os treinos personalizados. O trabalho fora do clube tem também um impacto
significativo na perceção de fadiga.
Regular physical exercise improves a number of factors for practitioners, both on a physical level, where they improve muscular and cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, among others, and on a psychological level, where it is associated with a reduction in psychological illnesses. In order for this physical activity to be carried out properly, exercise professionals in health clubs/gymnasiums must fulfil certain competencies towards their members, such as the technical domain where they demonstrate their ability to prescribe training, the pedagogical domain where they demonstrate their ability to guide training or group classes and the communication domain which allows them to have a professional and ethical relationship with their clients. That said, the overall aim of this internship, which took place at the Holmes Place - Coimbra club, was to learn new skills related with exercise professionals, while being integrated into a real-life context. A variety of activities were carried out at the club, including all the club's departments, from gym/health club management, cleaning and maintenance, reception, physiotherapy to the work carried out by exercise professionals, such as supervised training and group classes. During the internship, a research project was carried out with the main aim of assessing the perception of fatigue and its relationship with the work carried out by fitness instructors. The results showed a positive and strong correlation between perceived fatigue and total working time in the fitness professionals assessed, which suggests that the greater the workload, the greater the perception of fatigue.
