Panorama da ginástica artística feminina brasileira de alto rendimento esportivo: progressão, realidade e necessidades

Os resultados das atletas brasileiras da Ginastica Artistica feminina nos ultimos 10 anos, refletidos principalmente nas competicoes de nivel internacional, apontam para uma expressiva evolucao do esporte no pais. Assim, este artigo tem o proposito de apresentar dados acerca desta transformacao, principalmente a partir da participacao das ginastas em Jogos Olimpicos (desde 1980), e estabelecer reflexoes em relacao ao desenvolvimento da modalidade no pais. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliografica e documental, estes dados foram obtidos, reunidos e contextualizados com outras informacoes ja disponiveis na literatura. Ao analisa-los foi possivel nao so apontar com especificidade como se deu esta evolucao, como tambem apresentar uma realidade deflagradora de um processo ainda imaturo de desenvolvimento do esporte no pais, que nao condiz em grande parte com o que e posto pela midia (de que a modalidade esta em pleno avanco e de forma estruturada).

Proposal of analytical records for choreographic compositions in gymnastics for all

Gymnastics for All (GfA) is a practice found in the wide world of gymnastics and its greatest form of expression is through choreographic compositions (CC) due to historical and pedagogical reasons, among other factors. In addition, in the international arena, gymnastics festivals have become a privileged forum to perform CC as they take place in different contexts of social intervention, such as schools, clubs, associations, NGOs, and universities. In this context, our objective is to provide a tool to register and analyze GfA choreographic compositions by means of analytical record system. Based on bibliographical and documentary research, we propose a set of eight aspects that address general and specific aspects of CC in GfA. We conclude that the proposed tool displays a didactic and very detailed structure that is based on the theoretical prerogatives of the area. Not only it is useful to professionals and practitioners with different profiles, but it also holds the power of being of great value to all those involved in the processes of CC in GfA as a tool for recording data (including historical data), which is a catalyst for processes of reflection and changes (whenever they are required).

A valorização dos aspectos artísticos do Código de Pontuação na ginástica rítmica: uma análise das últimas três décadas

Abstract In pursuit of promoting the artistic aspects, the current Rhythmic Gymnastics Code of Points (RGCP) has been submeted significant changes that motivated this research, documentary and historical in character, which aimed to analyze the last eight Olympic cycles of RGCP. The research method used in this study is documentary and characterized by the information found in documents (RGCP) that had not received any scientific treatment. From the analysis of different RGCP cycles, we found artistic aspects, and their connection with RG technical requirements. We observed that the RG has distinct stages (technical aspects, flexibility etc). While retaining its artistic roots (from Dance and Rhythm), in pursuit of sportivization and systematization of the sport, the first stage was characterized by a search for the sportivization and standardization of the modality based on the inclusion of new body elements in the RGCP . The second stage confirms our previous hypothesis, that in the last RGCP the artistic component had undergone few changes. We noticed, in an overview, that at the present time the current RGCP brings back the relationship between RG and its origins, influenced by Aesthetic Gymnastics (Swedish), Rhythmic and Dance. Condition observed once the current Code of Points (2013-2016) marks the story of sports, by two aspects: the permissiveness of routines with singing wich has not allowed since since the creation the RGCP and significant changes to the appreciation of the routines’ artistic aspects.

Independent Olympic Athletes and the Legitimacy of the International Olympic Committee in Resolving International Conflicts

AbstractOver the last three centuries (nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first) humanity has been facing huge political and ideological conflicts, especially wars. For these reasons, it was seen how necessary it was to create global institutions that aimed to promote peace and reduce or stop conflicts of this magnitude. Therefore, an international institution had already brought on its premises the principles of international peace and reconciliation through sport: the International Olympic Committee (IOC). However, despite bringing together nations around peaceful ties in an international competition, the IOC and the Olympic Games event have always been affected by constant conflicts along their path in the twentieth century, emphasizing issues involving nationalities. Thereby, in a mediator posture of international conflicts and in an effort to reduce the subversions that surrounded it, the IOC, in the 1990s, created the delegation of Independent Olympic Athletes. Such a delegation consists of athletes ...Abstract Over the last three centuries (nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first) humanity has been facing huge political and ideological conflicts, especially wars.

Therefore, an international institution had already brought on its premises the principles of international peace and reconciliation through sport: the International Olympic Committee (IOC). However, despite bringing together nations around peaceful ties in an international competition, the IOC and the Olympic Games event have always been affected by constant conflicts along their path in the twentieth century, emphasizing issues involving nationalities. Thereby, in a mediator posture of international conflicts and in an effort to reduce the subversions that surrounded it, the IOC, in the 1990s, created the delegation of Independent Olympic Athletes. Such a delegation consists of athletes who cannot represent their respective nationalities at the Olympics due to political factors and/or armament conflicts. This proposal of the IOC demonstrates its posture to avoid, minimize, and even cease ideological and political events that might interfere with the Olympics Games or the athletes participating in them.

Esportes de raquete para deficientes intelectuais leves: uma proposta fundamentada na pedagogia do esporte

The practice of racket sports still seems to be nonexistent in various Brazilian educational institutions, both formally and informally, and they are not provided for people with special needs. The objective of this work is to offer a pedagogical proposal for experiencing such sports for students with mild intellectual disabilities. The proposal was based on principles such as standardization, socialization and decreased feelings of discrimination. The proposal is made up of items described in the manuscript, beginning with presenting the sport to the students and going on to carrying out various activities needed for proficiency. We conclude that the pedagogical proposal is a means to bring together racquet sports and students with intellectual disabilities, and this is based on the prerogatives of Sport Pedagogy.
