Azevedo, António Manuel Tavares; Mendes Ribeiro Eira, Paulo Alexandre; Lourenço, Carla; Almeida, MarisaIntroduction: Gymnastics contributes to the education and development of children, as well as in the various proposals associated with Physical Education (PE) in Elementary School. These activities allow self-confidence and enthusiasm, reflected on children´s performance, persistence, well-being, self-esteem and their ability to concentrate. Objectives: To assess the importance of technical activities for the motor development and education of children and whether schools promote and create spaces for the development of these activities. Methods: The study group comprises 2 distinct sets, totaling 36 children. The BOT2 motor proficiency test was used and, later, descriptive and inferential analysis of the data was used using the 28th version 28 of Statistical Software SPSS. Results: Significant differences were evidenced between groups regarding the degree of fine motor precision, fine motor integration and manual dexterity. Conclusion: Gymnastics contributes to children´s cross-sectional development, associated with numerous biopsychosocial benefits. Its activities developed in school, through PE, allow the recreation of gestures and other elements in various contexts, especially in the self-directed activities of school playgrounds. PE plays a crucial role in children´s social integration and, Gymnastics in particular, makes them a more active and conscious citizen, also providing body autonomy and increased capacity for expression in groups.
- Maximization and optimization in sports organizationsPublication . Azevedo, António Manuel Tavares; Mendes Ribeiro Eira, Paulo AlexandreIntroduction: The importance of the study of organizations as social entities of human development and as fundamental agents of change and evolution, that is, as true institutions, leads to the need for their research in the context of Sport. Objetive: This study aims to analyze the appreciation that sports organizations attribute to the principles of Maximization and Optimization. Methods: Azevedo's institutional analysis questionnaire (2014) was used to assess the degree of agreement of sports communities, and organizations were later characterized in typological quadrants according to Figueiredo's mesoscopic analysis model (2006). The study included 154 respondents, belonging to and distributed by the 24 local sports organizations of Viseu’s district and with different positions in their hierarchical structures. Results: The results reveal significant differences in the valuation attributed to both the Maximize pole and the Optimization pole, as well as the integration of organizations into typologies from 1st to 4th quadrants, according to their preferences. Conclusion: The intentions of sports communities aim to regulate and provide stability to organizational social and sports behavior, so as to be accepted and recognized by their peers.
