O presente estudo teve como objetivo sintetizar esses estudos de forma a descrever o panorama atual da literatura acerca da aquisição de habilidades motoras do balé e sugerir aplicações que melhorem o processo de ensino-aprendizagem do balé. As buscas foram realizadas nas principais bases de dados nos últimos 15 anos, com os descritores “motor learning OR skill acquisition OR motor skill AND dance OR ballet”. 17 artigos foram incluídos e organizados em blocos temáticos. Os estudos revisados proporcionaram vias de complementação do método tradicional do balé por meio da promoção da autonomia do bailarino e da organização eficiente do ambiente de prática. Os achados possuem grande potencial para manter o bailarino engajado, confiante, motivado e menos exposto a lesões.

This difference has been attributed to the cortical activation level (arousal), which is low in extraverts and high in introverts. Thus, to reach an optimal level of arousal, extraverts seek stimulation and introverts avoid it. As caffeine increases arousal levels, our primary aim was to investigate the effect of caffeine on the performance of extraverted and introverted university students in the execution of stability, manipulative, and locomotor tasks. Considering the above, we evaluated side effects, such as restlessness and trembling of hands, we also analyzed the individual's perception regarding caffeine intake and the placebo. Forty two volunteers were classified as 21 extraverts and 21 introverts by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Participants performed three tasks on two different days, having previously ingested caffeine and a placebo in counterbalanced order. A double-blind technique was...

Both groups received 10 sessions, 9 of them in the acquisition period and 1 for the retention test after 48 hours. Before the trials each volunteer watched a video with task to be performed and in each session, 4 TR attempts were performed with different rest breaks (RB) between them. In the retention test, both groups had the same RB for each trial. The results identified a positive effect of the test factor in element 3 between the pre and retention moments with a higher retention score (3.45 ± 0.96 vs 4.02 ± 0.62) and (3.86 ± 0.56 vs 4.17 ± 0.83) (p = 0.009). In elements 1, 2, 4 and 5 there was n...

Este precioso conteúdo vem compor um conjunto de obras já lançadas por seus autores que evidenciam o propósito elevado de proporcionar conhecimento para que o pedagogo esportivo possa ensinar, sentindo que está trilhando uma jornada em busca de comunicar o melhor sobre ensinar esporte. Os autores destacam a relevância de tornar preciosa a consideração de quem aprende, antes dos conteúdos que estarão a aprender, evidenciando a atenção com o processo de ensino e aprendizagem das modalidades esportivas coletivas, na soberana relação do pedagogo e de quem aprende, como também no primordial respeito às características de crescimento e desenvolvimento dos aprendizes

This highly researched topic has been tested in many contexts so that our focus is centered on the type of skill during motor skill acquisition in physical education settings. Given that the tasks employed in the studies have been either specialized or manipulative fundamental skills, we sought to extend our understanding of the issue addressing the effects of teaching styles in the process of learning a stability fundamental skill. Our purpose was to examine motor and psychological effects of command and guided discovery teaching styles from Mosston's Spectrum in the acquisition and retention of the handstand in scholars. Third graders from a suburban school in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were assigned to a command (n=22) and a guided discovery (n=23) group. The process of learning the handstand lasted six acquisition sessions, carried out between a pretest and a posttest/retent...

Objective: The speed-accuracy tradeoff was investigated in extroverted and introverted female children, young adults and older adults. Method: Participants carried out an alternative version of Fitts’ task, which involved making alternate clicks with the mouse held in the dominant hand, moving as fast as possible, on two rectangular targets on a computer screen in order to make twelve attempts at six random levels of difficulty (twelve combinations of target widths and distances between targets). Each of the three groups was composed of 16 introverted and 16 extroverted subjects, based upon Brazilian versions of Eysenck’s questionnaire. Results: Elderly introverts fell short of the target more often and committed more overall errors than the elderly extroverts. Additionally, compared to their younger adult counterparts, the elderly subjects fell short of the target more often and com...

Sessenta e sete nadadores de ambos os sexos, com níveis distintos de rendimento, com e sem deficiência, responderam a versão brasileira do “Eysenck Personality Questionnaire”. A análise de variância indicou diferenças significativas nas variáveis “prova” (os nadadores de fundo pontuaram mais alto em Psicoticismo que os nadadores de velocidade) e “sexo” (as nadadoras pontuaram mais alto em Neuroticismo que os nadadores). Não foram detectadas diferenças significativas nas variáveis “nível competitivo” e “deficiência”.

For swimming skills, several motor experiences may prove effective. Purpose. The aim was to analyse the influence of previous experience in playing in water, swimming lessons, and music or dance lessons on learning the breaststroke kick. Methods. The study involved 39 Physical Education students possessing basic swimming skills, but not the breaststroke, who performed 400 acquisition trials followed by 50 retention and 50 transfer trials, during which stroke index as well as rhythmic and spatial configuration indices were mapped, and answered a yes/no questionnaire regarding previous experience. Data were analysed by ANOVA (p = 0.05) and the effect size (Cohen’s d ≥0.8 indicating large effect size). Results. The whole sample improved their stroke index and spatial configuration index, but not their rhythmic...

Quarenta e três adultos jovens de ambos os sexos foram divididos em três grupos: frequência de 100% (G100), 50% (G50) e 0% (G0). Eles praticaram uma tarefa de rastrear e tocar seis sensores em resposta ao acendimento sequencial de seis estímulos luminosos. O desempenho foi medido pelo número de blocos de tentativas necessário para reconhecer a sequência, e pelo total de sequências corretas e/ou antecipadas. Análise de variância mostrou que o G0 precisou de menos blocos que o G100 para o alcance do critério de aquisição. Embora não tenha havido efeito das diferentes frequências de FC no número de respostas corretas e antecipadas, observou-se que executar a tarefa com alta frequência de FC retardou a aquisição da habilidade.
