ABSTRACT

O foco deste artigo se dá na análise de mudanças na for-ma e nos produtos de consumo alimentar por parte de frequenta-dores de uma academia de musculação, localizada em Vitória/ES. Esta pesquisa parte do entendimento da academia como um local onde são engendrados vocabulários, códigos e rituais próprios. Toma-se a entrada e frequência na academia como o ponto gera-dor de mudanças comportamentais ­ e não apenas corporais ­ que acabam por ultrapassar o limite físico do espaço e reverberam em diversas práticas cotidianas dos frequentadores, tendo influí-do de maneira central em uma reformulação de práticas e pro-dutos de consumo por parte dos alunos. Foca-se, com base nos resultados, na importância dada à alimentação por esse grupo, o que acabou por se confluir em uma nova forma e mercadorias de consumo, provocando alterações relacionais desses com a comida que passou a ser aceita e consumida.


The focus of this article is on the analysis of changes in the form and/or products of food consumption by those attending a bodybuilding gym located in Vitória/ES. This research is based on an understanding of the gym as a place where its own vocabularies, codes and rituals are engendered. Entering and attending the gym is seen as the point that generates behavioural changes ­ and not just bodily ones ­ that end up going beyond the physical limits of the space and reverberating in various daily practices of the regulars, having a central influence on a reformulation of consumer practices and products on the part of the students. The results focus on the importance given to food by this group, which ended up converging into a new form and commodity of consumption, causing changes in their relationship with the food that is now accepted and consumed.


Este artículo se centra en el análisis de los cambios en la forma y los productos del consumo de alimentos por parte de los asistentes a un gimnasio de culturismo situado en Vitória/ES. Esta investigación se basa en la comprensión del gimnasio como un lugar en el que se generan vocabularios, códigos y rituales pro-pios. La entrada y asistencia al gimnasio se considera el punto que genera cambios de comportamiento ­ y no sólo corporales ­ que acaban traspasando los límites físicos del espacio y reverberando en diversas prácticas cotidianas de los asiduos, influyendo de for-ma central en una reformulación de las prácticas y productos de consumo por parte de los alumnos. Los resultados se centran en la importancia dada a la comida por este grupo, que acabó conver-giendo en una nueva forma y mercancía de consumo, provocando cambios en su relación con la comida que ahora es aceptada y consumida.

ABSTRACT

A prática do circo como opção educativa, de condicionamento físico, recreativa ou artística, mostra uma notável expansão no contexto nacional nas últimas duas décadas. De modo particular, temos observado o aumento da prática das modalidades aéreas em escolas, academias e outros espaços públicos e privados. Com base nessa constatação, o objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a formação de professoras(es) de modalidades aéreas de circo na Região Metropolitana de Campinas (SP). Para isso, realizamos um levantamento de estabelecimentos que ofereciam aulas regulares, em seguida aplicamos um questionário semiestruturado (online) a 36 professoras responsáveis. Os resultados indicam que o primeiro contato com as modalidades aéreas se deu majoritariamente na universidade e em escolas de circo. O "tecido acrobático" é a modalidade mais oferecida, e a prática recreativa representa o campo de atuação mais comum, com relevante demanda da atividade como forma de condicionamento físico ou promoção da saúde. Verificamos uma formação diversificada, que inclui formação artística e o diploma de ensino superior para a maioria das participantes.


The practice of the circus as an educational, fitness, recreational or artistic option shows a notable expansion in the national context in the last two decades. In particular, the practice of aerial disciplines has been increasing in schools, gyms and other public and private places. Based on this finding, the objective of this study was to analyze the training of teachers of aerial circus modalities in the Metropolitan Region of Campinas - SP. For this, we carried out a survey of establishments that offered regular classes, then we applied a semi-structured questionnaire (online) to 36 teachers. The result shows the first contact to circus happened mostly at the university and in circus schools. The "silk" is the most popular discipline; and the recreational represents the most common motivation, with an important demand for fitness and health promotion. We noted a diversified training, including artistic education and higher education degree for most of them.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar, em uma academia da região do Barreiro, zona periférica de Belo Horizonte, se a musculação pode ser considerada como uma atividade de lazer para os seus praticantes. Como estratégia foi realizado um estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Para coleta de dados, utilizamos de um questionário padronizado e observação participante. Participaram da pesquisa, ao todo, 145 voluntários. Constatou-se que a maioria dos participantes da pesquisa consideram a prática de musculação como uma atividade de lazer, possibilitando espaços de sociabilidade e confraternizações. Não obstante, observamos que, para esses praticantes, o principal motivo para o ingresso e permanência na atividade é a estética corporal (hipertrofia muscular), podendo a musculação ser considerada um estilo de vida prazeroso que possui uma relevância fundamental para os sujeitos pesquisados.


This study aimed to investigate, in a gym of Barreiro's region, peripheral zone of Belo Horizonte, if the weight-training can be considered as a leisure activity to your practitioners. As strategy a study case was conducted, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. In order to collect data, we used a standardized questionnaire and participant observation. 145 volunteers participated in the research. It was found that most research participants consider the practice of weight-training as a leisure activity, which enables spaces for sociability and confraternization. Nevertheless, we observed that, for these practitioners, the main reason for entering and remaining in the activity is body aesthetics (muscular hypertrophy), and weight-training can be considered a pleasant lifestyle that has a fundamental relevance for the researched subjects.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The learning process of Mathematics is a challenge in Latin America; therefore, it is of vital importance to conduct actions that improve the performance in this science. Methods: This article is reporting on quasi-experimental research, where, through the use of Brain Gym, the objective is to improve: the definition of rational numbers, problem-solving ability, mathematical order relationships, and equivalent fractions. We worked with 67 students between 12 and 14 years old, organized into an experimental group (n = 35) and a control group (no participation group; n = 32). Results: We made pre and post-test measurements and found that the control group students improved in their problem-solving ability F(1,65) = 8.76, p = 0.04, η 2 = 0.12 and equivalent fractions F(1,65) = 4.54, p = 0.03, η 2 = 0.06. Discussion: In conclusion, the importance of applying innovative processes to improve the teaching and learning of Mathematics can be affirmed. It is important to note that both the control and experimental groups improved their learning, however, the experimental group did so to a greater extent than the students in the control group, who received a traditional educational process, and they did learn, but not at the level of the experimental group.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El consumo de sustancias esteroides anabólico-androgénicas (EAA) no se limita a su uso en el deporte profesional, actualmente se ha extendido a usuarios de gimnasio que practican deporte con fines estéticos. Sin embargo, poco se sabe de sus consecuencias en el funcionamiento cognoscitivo por su consumo prolongado y en dosis elevadas. Por lo tanto, se realizó una revisión sistemática de los estudios llevados a cabo durante la última década (2011-2021). Fueron incluidos siete artículos para su revisión de los que se destaca que, los usuarios de gimnasio de consumo prolongado o dependiente a sustancias EAA presentan déficits en ciertas funciones cognoscitivas (memoria y funciones ejecutivas) en comparación con usuarios no consumidores, consumidores a corto plazo o no dependientes. Aunque es necesario que se lleven a cabo investigaciones que realicen una evaluación integral de los diferentes procesos cognoscitivos, los resultados de estos estudios ofrecen evidencia importante para que profesionales de la salud, ciencias del deporte, entrenadores fitness o deportivos, usuarios de gimnasio y el público en general puedan atender, intervenir o prevenir las posibles consecuencias.


Abstract The consumption of anabolic-androgenic steroid substances (AAS) is not limited to use in professional sports, it has now been extended to gym users who practice sports for aesthetic purposes. However, little is known about its consequences on cognitive function due to its prolonged consumption and in high doses. Therefore, a systematic review of the studies carried out during the last decade (2011-2021) was carried out. Seven articles were included for review, highlighting that gym users with long-term or substance-dependent use of AAS presenting deficits in certain cognitive functions (memory and executive functions) compared to non-users, short-term users, or not dependents. Although more research is needed on the comprehensive evaluation of the different cognitive processes, the results of these studies offer important evidence so that health professionals, sport sciences, fitness or sports trainers, gym users and the public in general can attend to, intervene or prevent possible consequences.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected workers in different health services including exercise professionals (EP). The urgent need to adapt in-person to online activities might have led to increased frequency of anxiety and depressive symptoms. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify the determinants of aggravated depressive and anxiety symptoms in EP in southern Brazil during social distancing from the COVID-19. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with EP who worked at fitness centers, sports clubs, private schools, or at a public exercise program offered by the municipal council. We used an online-based, self-administered, adapted version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale to compare symptoms of depression and anxiety pre- and during social distancing. RESULTS: Participants (n = 201) had a mean age of 32.7±8.0 years, with more than half being male, white, and having an university degree. We observed that 81%and 71%of respondents reported higher frequency in anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively, during social distancing than in the period before it. Physical education teachers, women, non-white professionals, and those with chronic disease were more likely to worsen anxiety symptoms. Women had higher odds to increased frequency in depressive symptoms. Physical activity and previous experience with internet-based tools for working activities reduced the risk of increased depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Sex, ethnicity, chronic diseases, educational level, physical activity, and experience with online tools were determinants for increased frequency of depression and anxiety symptoms in EP.

ABSTRACT

Dietary supplements have been increasingly used by gym users and are often consumed without the guidance of a health professional. Moreover, the indiscriminate supplements use can have adverse health effects, such as changes in liver and kidney function. The aim of this study was to verify the association between dietary supplements intake with alterations in the liver and kidney function among gym users. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 594 gym users (mean age 37 (sd 14) years, 55·2 % women) from a city in southern Brazil. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the use of dietary supplements. The markers of the liver (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltransferase) and renal (creatinine and urea) function were also evaluated on a subsample of the study population. Data were analysed by binary logistic regression, adjusted for sex, age and education. The prevalence of dietary supplement intake was 36·0 %. Individuals who intake dietary supplements showed a higher prevalence to present slight alterations in the AST enzyme and in the urea after adjustments for potential confounders. In conclusion, the use of dietary supplement was associated with slight alterations in AST enzyme and in the urea among gym users. These findings show the importance of using supplements correctly, especially with guidance from professionals trained to avoid possible risks to health.

ABSTRACT

The aims for this study were to perform a Portuguese language cross-cultural adaptation of the Teruel Orthorexia Scale (TOS) and to evaluate the scale's psychometric properties, including verifying the frequency of behaviors characteristic of orthorexia nervosa and healthy orthorexia, among a group of Brazilian gym users. First, we adapted the Spanish version of the TOS to the Brazilian Portuguese language following international protocols to guarantee idiomatic, semantic, conceptual, and cultural equivalence. Then participants completed both the new Portuguese version of the TOS and a socioeconomic questionnaire. Among our sample of 226 young Brazilian adults (63.7% men; M age = 28.8, SD = 5.1 years), we assessed the bi-factorial model of the TOS through factorial, convergent, and discriminant validity, reliability, and factorial invariance. We calculated the mean scores of the TOS factors and the frequency of behaviors of both orthorexia nervosa and healthy orthorexia. The new Portuguese version was well understood by participants, and the TOS bi-factorial model presented adequate psychometric properties and showed invariance in independent subsamples and in men and women. The mean scores were different between sexes only for orthorexia nervosa, with women obtaining higher values. The frequency of orthorexia nervosa behaviors was 5.3% and of healthy orthorexia was 41.2%. Based on these findings, the Brazilian Portuguese version of the TOS can be a useful tool for investigating orthorexia-like behaviors in future research.

ABSTRACT

A Academia a Céu Aberto é uma política pública que tem como objetivo implantar equipamentos de ginástica adaptados e sem peso em praças e parques da cidade de Belo Horizonte/Minas Gerais (MG). O objetivo deste artigo foi investigar a implementação e gestão desse Programa com foco na estrutura normativa e organizacional. Como metodologia, foram realizadas pesquisas documentais e de campo a partir de uma entrevista semiestruturada com um técnico responsável pela sua gestão. Foi identificado que não há um projeto com as normas e diretrizes dessa política, sendo essa ação de lazer relacionada com uma prática simplista, atrelada a tudo que não é competitivo e condicionada à saúde. Além disso, a política não possui um monitoramento, o que pode interferir na sua gestão e continuidade. Por fim, estudos que relacionam a implementação de políticas públicas de lazer são recentes e contribuem para uma reflexão crítica sobre a temática.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence, and the demographic, socio-economic, and health correlates to Outdoor Gyms (OGs) use for adults from a southern Brazilian city. STUDY DESIGN: Population-based cross-sectional study. METHODS: A total of 431 adults (66.8% women) aged 18-87 years living in the surroundings of four OGs distributed in different regions of the city were randomly selected. Information about OG use for physical activity (PA) practice, and demographic, socio-economic, and health variables were collected by household interviews. Associations between independent variables and OG use were analyzed with results expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS: About one-third of participants (30.4%; 95% CI: 26.1-34.7) informed using OGs for PA practice, and 20.4% (95% CI 16.8-24.4) informed using it twice or more times a week (≥2x/week). Adjusted analysis indicated that the OG use ≥2x/week is higher for women (OR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.11-3.35) and for those with lower family income (OR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.03-4.13) than men and those with higher family income, respectively. CONCLUSION: About 30% of the population uses OGs for PA practice. Women and low-income people are those who more commonly use OGs for PA practice. The installation of these facilities in public spaces may reduce social inequities related to leisure-time PA.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O presente estudo objetivou compreender os sentidos produzidos com a prática da dança em academias de ginástica. Utilizou-se como abordagem teórica-metodológica a fenomenologia, valorizando as experiências descritas por professores e coordenadores através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, interpretadas por meio das análises ideográfica e nomotética. As análises permitiram-nos identificar múltiplos sentidos atribuídos à dança nas academias. Conclui-se que, embora haja uma centralidade da dança como exercitação e produto de consumo nas academias, as instituições, na figura dos(as) coordenadores(as) e professores(as), não só reconhecem suas características multifacetadas, como se constituem como atores para compor e produzir novos sentidos à sua prática.


ABSTRACT This study aimed to understand the meanings produced with the practice of dance in gyms. Phenomenology was used as a theoretical-methodological approach, valuing the experiences described by teachers and coordinators through semi-structured interviews, interpreted through ideographic and nomothetic analyses. The analyzes allowed us to identify multiple meanings attributed to dance in gyms. It is concluded that, although there is a centrality of dance as exercise and consumption product in gyms, institutions, in the figure of coordinators and teachers, not only recognize its multifaceted characteristics, but also constitute themselves as actors that compose and produce new meanings to their practice.

Como analistas nos permiten identificar múltiples atributos atribuidos a la danza en el ámbito académico. Se concluye que, si bien la danza es una centralidad de la danza como ejercicio y producto de consumo en la academia, como instituciones, en la figura de (como) coordinadores (como) y profesores (como), no para reconocer sus características multifacéticas, como obras constituidas que componen y producen nuevas ideas sobre su práctica.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi descrever o perfil dos proprietários de academias de gin ást icas da cidade de Pelotas-RS. Estudo descritivo parte do censo de academias de Pelotas-RSrealizado em 2 01 2. Para mapear as academias de ginástica da zona urbana da cidade, dividiu-se o município em 1 9 setores. Foram encontradas 170 academias e 183 proprietários. Os dados foram coletados através de en t revista estruturada, contendo questões econômicas (renda mensal em reais), sociodemográficas (sexo, cor da pele, idade, escolaridade), comportamentais (hábito de fumo, consumo de álcool, atividade física), labo rais (número de estabelecimentos em que é proprietário, carga horária semanal), e de conhecimento sobre legislação trabalhista (CLT) e conselho fiscalizador (CREF). Foi realizada uma análise descritiva com cálculo de médias e desvios-padrão para as variáveis numéricas e proporções para as variáveis categóricas. Ao todo, 161 proprietários participaram do estudo. Em sua maioria, os proprietários eram do sexo masculino (64,4%), de cor de pele branca (42,8%), pertencentes à faixa etária de 30 a 39 an os (4 2,8%), não fumavam (75,8%) e eram ativos fisicamente (82,0%). Quanto à formação, mais da metade (5 4,0%) era graduado em Educação Física e possuía algum curso de pós-graduação (52,2%). Com relação à experiência de trabalho em academias e conhecimento, 71,6% trabalhavam há mais de cinco ano s n as academias e 41,6% tinham pouco/nenhum conhecimento sobre leis trabalhistas. Concluiu-se que, apesar do tempo de atuação como gestores, é evidente a carência de formação adequada e conhecimento sobre legislação, indicando que os gestores ainda atuavam apenas com o conhecimento empírico adquirido ao longo dos anos...(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Aim: The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric proprieties of the Questionnaire of Attitudes towards Doping in Fitness (QAD-Fit), originally developed by Serpa and colleagues and adapted to Portuguese gym/fitness context. Methods: A cross-sectional survey utilizing a web self-administered questionnaire was used. The sample was composed of 453 gym/fitness center practitioners, aged between sixteen and seventy-nine years old (M = 35.64; SD = 13.08), enrolled in several gym activities. Results: The confirmatory factorial analysis provided support to the four-factor structure proposed. All factors displayed good internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The multi-group analysis revealed cross-validity and the model´s invariance. The correlation between QAD-Fit and the Doping-related Theory of Planned Behavior Measures (DRTPBM) revealed evidence of its concurrent validity. Conclusion: The findings of this research revealed that QAD-Fit is a psychometrically valid and reliable instrument to assess attitudes towards doping consumption in gym and fitness settings.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O artigo discute as relações entre ginástica e saúde no Rio de Janeiro do século XIX a partir do caso de uma das mais prestigiosas escolas do período: o Colégio Abílio. Mais do que descortinar os discursos que cercavam o oferecimento da prática na instituição, busca-se compreender seus diferentes arranjos no cotidiano escolar. Foram utilizadas duas fontes de natureza diferenciada: periódicos publicados na cidade e o romance O Ateneu, de Raul Pompéia. Conclui-se que o desafio que se apresenta para melhor entender a presença social da ginástica é captar a multiplicidade de apreensões que a cercavam no período em tela.


Abstract This article discusses the relationship between physical education and health in Rio de Janeiro in the nineteenth century, drawing on the case of one of the most prestigious schools at the time, Colégio Abílio. Rather than merely revealing the discourses that surrounded the provision of physical education at the school, we seek to comprehend the different ways in which it was incorporated into its educational routine. Two sources of different kinds were used: newspapers published in the city and the novel O Ateneu, by Raul Pompéia. We conclude that the challenge in understanding the social presence of physical education in the period in question is how to pick up the multiple apprehensions that surrounded it.

ABSTRACT

Com o objetivo de compreender o processo decisório de indivíduos que contratam os serviços de uma academia de ginástica e musculação, mas não a frequentam, o presente artigo contextualiza o crescimento do setor e inclui as transformações comportamentais observadas durante esse processo, enquanto apresenta resultados de análises correlatas anteriores. Em seguida, são realizadas breves revisões teóricas de psicologia econômica e tomada de decisão para embasar a elaboração do questionário e entrevista aplicados a donos e clientes de academias. Os dados primários são então analisados através de uma metodologia qualitativa exploratória, e os resultados são apresentados relacionando-os às teorias previamente apresentadas. Os resultados obtidos reafirmam o comportamento irracional de consumo além de demonstrar a importância de operadores emocionais como prazer e dor, além da necessidade de atenção exclusiva por parte do cliente.


In order to understand the decisionmaking process of individuals who hire the services of a fitness gym, but do not frequent same, this article analyzes growth in this sector and includes the behavioral changes observed during this process, while presenting results of previous related analyzes. After that a brief theoretical review of economic psychology and decision making is presented to support the preparation of the questionnaire and the interview applied to gym owners and clients. The primary data are then analyzed using an exploratory qualitative method and the results are presented according to the theories presented previously. The results reaffirm the irrational behavior of consumption as well as demonstrating the importance of emotional operators such as pleasure and pain, and the need for exclusive attention on the part of the client.

ABSTRACT

Com o objetivo de compreender o processo decisório de indivíduos que contratam os serviços de uma academia de ginástica e musculação, mas não a frequentam, o presente artigo contextualiza o crescimento do setor e inclui as transformações comportamentais observadas durante esse processo, enquanto apresenta resultados de análises correlatas anteriores. Em seguida, são realizadas breves revisões teóricas de psicologia econômica e tomada de decisão para embasar a elaboração do questionário e entrevista aplicados a donos e clientes de academias. Os dados primários são então analisados através de uma metodologia qualitativa exploratória, e os resultados são apresentados relacionando-os às teorias previamente apresentadas. Os resultados obtidos reafirmam o comportamento irracional de consumo além de demonstrar a importância de operadores emocionais como prazer e dor, além da necessidade de atenção exclusiva por parte do cliente.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a presença de insatisfação com a imagem corporal e de atitudes negativas em relação ao exercício, bem como a correlação entre estes fatores, em frequentadores de academia de ambos os sexos. Uma amostra de 100 desportistas (67 mulheres e 33 homens) respondeu eletronicamente o Questionário de Imagem Corporal (Body Shape Questionnaire) e a Commitment Exercise Scale (CES). Os participantes relataram massa corporal, estatura, tempo de frequência na academia e objetivos da prática. Análise de correlação de Pearson entre BSQ e CES foi realizada, bem como comparação dos escores da CES segundo classificação da BSQ pelo teste T de Student. Diferenças entre os sexos foram avaliadas com modelo linear geral. Modelos de regressão linear testaram preditores para satisfação corporal ou atitudes em relação ao exercício. As mulheres apresentaram maior insatisfação com a imagem corporal (p < 0,001) e não houve diferença entre os sexos nas atitudes em relação ao exercício. Não foi encontrada correlação entre a insatisfação com a imagem corporal e as atitudes em relação ao exercício, mas houve correlação positiva entre o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e a insatisfação com a imagem corporal (p = 0,001 para homens; p = 0,002 para mulheres). O tempo de frequência na academia foi preditor de atitudes negativas em relação ao exercício (R2 = 0,580), e o IMC e uma menor importância do lazer para a prática de exercício foram preditores de insatisfação corporal (R2 = 0,368). Sugere-se a realização de estudos semelhantes que avaliem outros aspectos da imagem corporal, tal como a busca pela muscularidade.


The aim of this study is to evaluate the body image dissatisfaction, and negative attitudes towards physical exercise, and the correlation among these two factors in individuals who frequently go to gyms. A sample of 100 sportspeople (67 women and 33 men) has answered electronically the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and Commitment Exercise Scale (CES). Participants also informed weight, height, time spent at the gym and their objectives in exercising. Pearson´s correlation analysis between BSQ and CES were evaluated, and CES scores were compared to BSQ classifications using Student's t-test. Differences between genders were evaluated using generalized linear model. Linear regression model tested predictors for body satisfaction and attitudes towards exercise. It was found that women have a higher level of body image dissatisfaction (p < 0,001). Moreover, there was not any difference between sex in relation to physical exercises. There was not found any correlation between body image dissatisfaction and the attitudes towards physical exercises, however, there was a positive correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and body image dissatisfaction (p = 0,001 to men; p = 0,002 to women). The time spent at the gym was predictor to negative attitudes towards physical exercises (R2 = 0,580), and the BMI and a smaller importance of leisure in the practice of physical exercise were predictors of body insatisfaction (R2 = 0,368). Similar studies evaluating other body image aspects, such as drive for muscularity are needed.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o valor percebido dos clientes de academias de ginástica sobre a importância e o desempenho dos serviços. A amostra foi composta por 108 clientes e utilizou-se o questionário proposto por Calesco, Both e Soriano (2013). Para análise dos dados utilizou-se a estatística descritiva para determinar à média e o desvio padrão, teste Kolmogorov Smirnov, Prova U de Mann-Whitney e considerou-se um nível de significância de 95% (p<0,05). Os clientes tendem a manter o valor percebido elevado sobre a importância, independente do tempo de prática. Entretanto, quanto maior o número de academias já frequentadas mais critica a visão frente determinados indicadores. Em relação ao desempenho, os clientes tendem a atribuir conceitos inferiores conforme o aumento do tempo de pratica, e principalmente, quando apresentam experiência de prática em mais de uma academia...

Los clientes tienden a mantener un alto valor percibido sobre la importancia del tiempo de práctica independiente. Sin embargo, cuanto mayor sea el número de academias visitadas por el cliente, mayor es su visión crítica frente ciertos indicadores. En cuanto al rendimiento, los clientes tienden a atribuir conceptos menores al aumentar el tiempo de la práctica, y esto es frecuente cuando tienen experiencia práctica en más de un gimnasio...

Customers tend to maintain high perceived value on the importance of independentpractice time. However, the higher the number of academies have attended more critical vision forward certain indicators.
