ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Com base em estudo qualitativo, utilizando a história oral e a análise de documentos, procurou-se identificar as raízes da fisioterapia em Minas Gerais, a fim de discutir o processo de profissionalização e o desenvolvimento da identidade do fisioterapeuta neste Estado. METODOLOGIA: O foco do estudo foi dirigido principalmente a Belo Horizonte, no período compreendido entre 1950 e 1980. O referencial teórico utilizado foi a sociologia das profissões, e teve como guia os cinco passos de profissionalização descritos por Wilensky¹ que são a necessidade da ocupação tornar-se de dedicação exclusiva, o estabelecimento de procedimentos de instrução e seleção, a formação de uma associação profissional, a regulamentação da profissão e a adoção do código de ética. Na pesquisa de campo, foram utilizadas entrevistas do tipo semi-estruturada para colher depoimentos de pessoas consideradas chave, mediante amostragem em série, e o método escolhido foi a análise de conteúdo. RESULTADOS: Avalia-se que o processo de profissionalização da fisioterapia em Minas Gerais é marcado pela hegemonia médica na saúde e que a indefinição das atribuições e competências foram os fatores que motivaram os conflitos internos e externos. CONCLUSÕES: Conclui-se que, para a afirmação efetiva da fisioterapia como profissão, torna-se necessária a delimitação das especificidades do seu saber e do seu fazer (teoria e prática), identificando o papel do fisioterapeuta na equipe multidisciplinar de saúde.

ABSTRACT

In the present investigation, an elite group of competitive female French-Canadian gymnasts (N = 7) were evaluated using 35 standardized morphological measures at an interval of 475 days. At the two evaluatione, the average age of the gymnasts was 13.9 and 15.3 years and at the termination 4 of the 7 girls had not yet reached menarche. Standard body lengths, widths, skinfolds and proportions were measured. Almost everybody dependent variable increased significantly while the body proportions, for the most part, stayed the same. Skinfold measures of body fat tended to remain the same or to decrease over this period. In comparison to other reference groups of female gymnasts tested over the last 10 years, these elite competiters were younger, smaller, and lighter reflecting the present day trends. Implications of this decreased body size were discussed in terms of the potential mechanical advantages that accompany these characteristics.

ABSTRACT

The effect of both the availability and the quality of visual cues preceding stick-puck contact was investigated for an ice hockey goaltending task. Thirty-four young (15.8 years) goaltenders observed filmed sequences of a hockey player approaching the net and directing a shot to one of the four corners. The film sequences were edited so that 2, 4 or 8 images were occluded prior to the impact of the stick with the puck, reflecting durations of 1/12, 1/6, 1/3 of a second, respectively. The subjects' performances for both the wrist and the slap shot were measured as well as the level of response confidence in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The results indicated that performance precision was aided by the increased availability of pre-shot visual cues. It was also evident that the wrist shot provided more cues for the goaltender than did the slap shot. Performances were found to be superior in the horizontal as compared to the vertical plane. In all dimensions, the subjects' perceptions of their success closely followed the actual performance patterns. It appeared that information that could facilitate anticipation in this goaltending task was both available and useable during the period that precedes the shot.
