It is evident that, with access to information, Brazilians' homes were taken over by the ease of finding information, thus providing an option to be able to ask questions about the respect of any subject on the Internet.

Such categories served as a support to establish a predominance of life-domains of the former bodybuilders. In addition, we identified the process and the synthesis of the search for information, however, due to a small indication of the model author, the most severe result of responses in time spaces between the interviews.
