Pereira,Sara; Reyes,Ana; Moura-Dos-Santos,Marcos A.; Santos,Carla; Gomes,Thayse N.; Tani,Go; Vasconcelos,Olga; Barreira,Tiago V.; Katzmarzyk,Peter T.Abstract Objective: Children's differences in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels are not at random. This study investigates the relevance of individual- and school-level characteristics in explaining these differences. Methods: In total, 307 children (154 girls) aged 5-10 years, from 19 Portuguese schools, were sampled. Height and weight were measured, and body mass index was calculated. Time spent i...

Barbosa,João Paulo dos Anjos Souza; Basso,Luciano; Bartholomeu,Teresa; Prista,António; Rezende,Januária Andrea Souza; Oliveira,Jorge Alberto; Tani,GoRESUMO Introdução: A relação negativa entre atividade física, aptidão física e risco cardiovascular está bem estabelecida em populações com baixos níveis de atividade física. Objetivo: O presente estudo investigou essa relação em adultos de Muzambinho, Minas Gerais, uma população com alta taxa de indivíduos fisicamente ativos. Métodos: Participaram 237 indivíduos (132 mulheres), na maioria jovens (44,3% entre 2...
A comparative study of the mastery of fundamental movement skills between diffe...
Santos,Fernando Garbeloto dos; Pacheco,Matheus Maia; Basso,Luciano; Tani,GoIt has been suggested that guidance, encouragement and opportunity are crucial factors for childrens motor development. They are especially important to promote the mastery of fundamental movement skills. The present study investigated the association between two elements related to those factors - proposed curriculum of physical education and the most popular sport in a given country - and the incidence of ma...
Effects of the amount and schedule of varied practice after constant practice o...
Corrêa,Umberto C.; Walter,Cinthya; Torriani-Pasin,Camila; Barros,João; Tani,GoThis study investigated the effects of different amounts and schedules of varied practice, after constant practice, on the adaptive process of motor learning. Participants were one hundred and seven children with a mean age of 11.1 ± 0.9 years. Three experiments were carried out using a complex anticipatory timing task manipulating the following components in the varied practice: visual stimulus speed (experime...
O efeito do auto-estabelecimento de metas na aquisição de uma habilidade motora
Marques,Priscila Garcia; Walter,Cynthia; Tani,Go; Corrêa,Umberto CesarO objetivo do estudo foi investigar o efeito das metas auto-estabelecidas na aprendizagem de uma habilidade motora. Participaram do estudo 60 alunos de graduação sem experiência na tarefa de subir a escada de Bachman. As fases do experimento foram: aquisição (10 × 10 blocos de tentativas) e transferência (10 tentativas). Inicialmente, os participantes foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos (n= 30): metas...
