Determinação da carga de trabalho decorrente de aulas de educação física escolar

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the use of methods of determining the workload of physical exertions in Physical Education classes. The sample was composed of students from 11 to 13 years, and anthropometric measurements were performed accompanied two Physical Education classes, to determine the time engaged in physical exertion, running time, and workload. This was determined by the method of heart rate zone (HR) and perceived exertion (PSE). The data were presented relative and absolute frequencies, descriptive statistics (mean, range of variation and standard deviation) and measures of association (Graph Pad Prism 5.0). The results fall that the efforts made were of low intensity and duration in terms of changing the FC and the time of active participation in the classroom, with boys performing more active than girls. The determination of the workload corroborated these results. The methods showed positive and linear with time and engaged time running. Thus it is assumed that both methods could be used to analyze the efforts made during Physical Education classes.
