Educação Física e atividades circenses: o estado da arte

Physical Education has been showing an exponential growth in the application of circus activities as programmatic content, and a consequently increase of academic production. The objective of this study was to identify the “state of the art” when it comes to the circus activities and physical education through a literature review of academic-scientific production, nationally and internationally. Results indicate that much of the literature is presented as experience reports and manuals, highlighting the technical and pedagogical procedures. In general we found limited conceptual discussions, and very few studies that propose advances beyond the common sense and pedagogical romanticism.

Artistic gymnastics - why do coaches resist change?

If we consider the analyses carried out by Barker-Ruchti (2007) in Australia and Schiavon (2009) in Brazil, we can observe that it deals with a recurring and still hegemonic model within the sphere of high performance gymnastics worldwide. Considering this issue, we have repeatedly asked why the artistic gymnastics (AG) training system resists innovation and who is responsible for it. The traditions that govern AG reveal, as Foster (1973) argues, the centralisation of decision-making power (by coaches), empirical experience and oral transmission as the main ways of training, with resistance to innovation produced by a traditional society and sometimes by sports science itself. The coaches’ behaviours are supported by a microculture which validates itself (Oliveira, 2014) revealing even more vestiges of the military tradition that has impacted gymnastics since eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (Palmer & Sellers, 2009). In fact, decades of scientific research reinforce the case that many aspects of the AG training system need to be updated (Issurin, 2007; Jemni, 2011). For example, forbidding adequate hydration during training sessions. Until now, this practice has been seen as normal by a great number of coaches in spite of evidence that such a restriction can impair competitive performance as well as athletes’ health (Stewart, Schiavon, & Bellotto, 2015). Likewise, the recovery time, the amount of time needed to recover after a training session, rarely follows the scientific recommendations, possibly contributing to increase injuries and overtraining (Dixon & Fricker, 1993; Kirialanis, Malliou, Beneka, & Giannakopoulos, 2003; Sands, 2000).1 Even though many coaches remain reluctant to change, innovations such as the

O ensino das atividades circenses nas escolas municipais de Campinas-SP

Resumo: A introdução das atividades circenses no currículo da Educação Física escolar já não é novidade, entretanto, os estudos recentes mostram que a literatura especializada é, ainda incipiente e em geral fundada em relatos de experiência. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o ensino das atividades circenses nas aulas de Educação Física do ensino fundamental em escolas municipais da cidade de Campinas-SP. Vinte e seis professores foram consultados por meio de um questionário semiestruturado. Treze deles relataram abordar o tema em suas aulas, sendo que todos usavam vídeos como principal fonte de informação. A manipulação de objetos foi a modalidade circense abordada de modo mais generalizado. Verificamos que a temática é recente ná prática docente dos professores participantes, e que a formação recebida sobre a temática, na maioria dos casos provinha de oficinas ou cursos de curta duração.

GINÁSTICA ARTÍSTICA: DIAGNÓSTICO DO PLANEJAMENTO, MONITORAMENTO E CONTROLE DO SISTEMA DE PREPARAÇÃO ESPORTIVA.

Resumo A melhora significativa dos resultados da Ginástica Artística (GA) brasileira está diretamente atrelada a implementação e aprimoramento de métodos de planejamento, monitoramento e controle da preparação esportiva. Deste modo, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi verificar a análise e registro do planejamento, monitoramento e controle do processo de preparação esportiva de ginastas. Para tal, utilizou-se de questionário, aplicado a nove treinadores/as de equipes de GA competitivas da Região Metropolitana de Campinas (RMC). O resultado revela que um alto percentual de técnicos analisam aspectos relacionados a preparação física, técnica e psicológica na preparação esportiva, no entanto há um baixo percentual de registro desses dados, dificultando a análise de dados do sistema de preparação esportiva.

Ginástica artística masculina: é sistemático o uso das superfícies elásticas no processo de treinamento?

In Artistic Gymnastics, the area (the apparatus) represents the most relevant systemic component. Thus, when one strives to comprehend the internal logic of this sport, the gymnast-apparatus relationship warrants special attention. A change in the training paradigm was observed, showing that the use of Elastic Surfaces (ES) is an essential resource, due to the contemporary features of this sport, such as the hyper-valorisation of acrobatics and a greater presence of flight elements. Through a case study developed in a men’s artistic gymnastics high-performance gymnasium, this study analysed the use of different ES in the training process. Although coaches recognize the importance of ES in training programs, the record of daily activities showed that this use is still limited to select equipment and is not systematic. Such difficulties are due mainly to the lack of educational programs to the development of certain specific methodologies and the non-existence of national equipment suppliers certified by International Gymnastics Federation.

Festivais de ginástica no mundo e no Brasil: reflexões gerais

Abstract The gymnastic festivals are consisted of predominantly non-competitive events, on which several gymnastics possibilities are displayed aiming at fellowship and exchanges between practitioners. The objective of this study is to present some of the top national and international festivals, highlighting relevant aspects of their organizations, frequency and contribution to the maintenance of gymnastic tradition. Finally, we try to sketch some points to consolidate a national festival that would be supported by the different federations, consolidating national identity and promoting the effective gymnastics practice.

O DEBATE PEDAGÓGICO SOBRE A ARTE DO CIRCO NA REVISTA ÉDUCATION PHYSIQUE ET SPORT (1969-2015)

It is a known fact that France was important in the development of contemporary circus and the latter influenced educational practices in Physical Education. Considering the importance acquired by French journal Education Physique et Sport (EP&S) in that field and the increase in the number of publications on the subject, we present a study on the articles published in the journal between 1969 and 2015. We analyzed 73 articles, most of which are teachers’ experience accounts that present different ways of organizing content as teaching units, discussing their pedagogical specificities and the several arguments that, as a whole, advocate teaching circus within Physical Education.

A public-private partnership as an alternative for sustainability of a Rhytimic Gymnastics team in Campinas, Brazil

The present study, characterized as a case study, aimed to discuss a public-private partnership between the Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG) team from the Clube Campineiro de Regatas e Natação (CCRN) and the city hall from Campinas-SP, verifying its importance for the sustainability of this team.

De longe e de perto: crítica ao discurso acadêmico territorializado

. Walnut Creek: Left Coast Press, 2009. 236p. Deparamo-nos com uma obra na qual as experiencias de pesquisa, o itinerario pessoal e a atuacao academica em ins-tituicoes norte- americanas tecem um dialogo entre dois colegas acerca da jus-tica social, da opressao, da colonizacao e, principalmente, da descolonizacao na producao do conhecimento. Um dialogo que discute ainda as metodologias e as ideologias que envolvem a pesquisa em ciencias humanas.A primeira conversa, disparada pela questao:

A RODA GINÁSTICA NO CLUBE ALEMÃO BAYER LEVERKUSEN

Criada no final da decada de 1920 na Alemanha, a Roda Ginastica consiste numa modalidade desportiva que possibilita uma serie de evolucoes corporais com uso de uma roda metalica. O presente estudo apresenta o projeto de Roda Ginastica (Alema) desenvolvido no clube Bayer Leverkusen na Alemanha, um dos mais importantes no contexto internacional, destacando sua estrutura organizacional, profissionais envolvidos, metodologia empregada, entre outros aspectos. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo de natureza qualitativa, que incluiu uma entrevista em profundidade com a treinadora principal, bem como a observacao direta intensiva das atividades realizadas na referida instituicao. Embora aconteca num dos principais clubes do mundo neste desporto, com excelente infraestrutura fisica e equipamentos, observamos um tipico projeto de esporte amador, com dedicacao parcial dos treinadores, importante acao voluntaria, escassa sistematizacao pedagogica, corresponsabilidade dos atletas mais experientes nos treinos e com metodologia e conteudo similar para todas as faixas etarias.
