Segmentation of Portuguese customers’ expectations from fitness programs
Get PDFExpectations towards fitness exercises are the major factor in customer satisfaction in the service sector in question. The purpose of this study is to present a segmentation framework for fitness customers, based on their individual expectations. The survey was designed and validated to evaluate individual expectations towards exercises. The study included a randomly recruited sample of 723 subjects (53% males; 47% females; 42.1±19.7 years). Factor analysis and cluster analysis with Ward’s cluster method with squared Euclidean distance were used to analyse the data obtained. Four components were extracted (performance, enjoyment, beauty and health) explaining 68.7% of the total variance and three distinct segments were found: Exercise Lovers (n=312), Disinterested (n=161) and Beauty Seekers (n=250). All the factors identified have a significant contribution to differentiate the clusters, the first and third clusters being most similar. The segmentation framework obtained based on customer expectations allows better understanding of customers’ profiles, thus helping the fitness industry develop services more suitable for each type of customers. A follow-up study was conducted 5 years later and the results concur with the initial study.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Supervised Exercise Patterns among Diabetic and Non-diabetic Portuguese Adults
Get PDFBackground. Physical activity (PA) is a keystone of diabetes management, but although self-exercise is beneficial,
supervised exercise (SE), adapted to individual characteristics, and is more effective. Objectives. The main research
goal is to compare SE patterns among diabetic and non-diabetic Portuguese adults. Methods. A total of 484 participants
(85 diabetics, 399 non-diabetics), aged 41-90 years old (mean=58.9; SD=11.9) were interviewed. PA level was
assessed using short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Attendance in different SE programs
was evaluated across three kinds of PA programs providers: gym/health-clubs; swimming pools and other club/ sports
facilities. Itens like Barriers to Exercise; Intention to participate; Importance of the structure and PA information
sources were also evaluated. Independent t-tests were used to examine the difference between the group means, and
Levene’s test was used to check the homokedasticity of the groups’ variances. Results. PA level of diabetics (32%
low; 25% moderate; 44% high) and non-diabetics (29% low; 33% moderate; 39% high) display no differences. 90%
of diabetics do not attend SE. The main barrier for diabetics’ non-participation is the perception that the exercise is not
adequate to their health. Doctors are the preferred information source for diabetics and they rely less on information
provided by the Internet, with may impair on-line campaigns. Conclusion. Promoting exercise in diabetics should shift
the focus from "promoting physical activity" to "promoting SE".info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Physical activity and supervised exercise among hypertensives and normotensives: status and barriers
Get PDFPurpose Physical activity (PA) is considered central to hypertension prevention and management. The main purpose of this article is to compare supervised exercise (SE) patterns among hypertensive and normotensive Portuguese adults.
Methods A total of 966 participants aged between 15 and 90 years old (mean 41.9; SD 19.5) were surveyed face-to-face in public places across Portugal. Participants were considered hypertensives (n=144) if they have systolic and diastolic blood pressure higher than 160 and 90 mmHg or report taking antihypertensive medication. PA was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test for associations and t test for independent samples were used to analyze data.
Results Hypertensive individuals show a higher prevalence of sedentary lifestyle than normotensive (31% vs 20%). About 40% of hypertensive patients have a high level of physical activity. Several signifcant diferences were found between hypertensives and normotensives regarding the causes for non-participation, information sources and motivation to participate. For infrastructures, only the quality of the equipment (p=0.032), innovative activities (p=0.027), and the opportunity to socialize (p=0.000) are capable of diferentiating the two groups.
Conclusions This study shows the prevalence of sedentary behavior among the hypertensive population. Hypertensives and normotensive behavior reveal diferent patterns on the barriers, sources of information, and perception regarding the structures. Service providers seem incapable to make hypertensives aware of the risks associated with PA and the benefts associated with SE. More information is needed to make hypertensives aware of the benefts of SE programs.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Get PDFSOB A ÓTICA DA ERGOLINGUÍSTICA: UM ESTUDO SOBRE O TRABALHO DE PROFESSORES EM FORMAÇÃO NO PIBID
Get PDFEste trabalho objetiva discutir a reflexão sobre a formação de professores de língua portuguesa no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), a partir da aplicação dos métodos de autoconfrontação (CLOT, 1997). Partimos da hipótese de que esses métodos motivam a autorreflexão do trabalhador que se observa em situações de trabalho, funcionando como um importante instrumento de conhecimento sobre o trabalho real do professor em formação. Pelo enfoque na Ergolinguística (PORTO, 2010; 2011; 2021), investigamos o funcionamento da linguagem sobre o trabalho do professor, bem como a linguagem como uma atividade dialógica de produção de sentidos.

Full text linkObjective: identifying strategies of care developed with children in mental distress and describing the concept of families and professionals about these care practices. Method: a qualitative study conducted in July and August 2013 with professionals and families of children enrolled in CAPSi in Campina Grande. The material was analyzed by means of the proposed of Bardin, from which emerged the following category: The care strategies used in CAPSinho (little CAPS). Result: care practices developed were: the play activities of social integration, sensory stimulation, play group, among others. Family members and professionals emphasized the positive aspects of strategies developed in the service; however, they mentioned as a barrier the absence of some professionals. Conclusion: although it has been noticed changes in the behavior of children, the development of these practices of care requires a planning and monitoring geared to the needs of children, making it essential working with a multidisciplinary team

Physical activity level as a booster of entrepreneurial intention: a social innovation approach
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate if engaging in physical activity (PA) and gender influences people’s entrepreneurial intention (EI). A survey for measuring EI and PA was developed and administered to the general population. The data were collected with a questionnaire distributed across all continental Portuguese regions. A two-way analysis of variance was used to test the influence of PA level and gender in EI. The
results highlight that PA and gender have an impact on EI. This study’s main practical implication is that evidence was found that people need to be involved in more PA, especially in high PA level, because the results show that there is an association with increased levels of EI. This paper contributes to filling a gap in the literature by identifying the importance of PA for the increase of EI. This relationship may be a consequence of skills promoted by the practice of PA and also the development of some personal psychological and cognitive characteristics such as autonomy, risk tolerance, and leadership. The main implication resulting from this study is that it is essential to develop and booster PA into society, namely through PA programmes in organisations,
not only for improving persons’ health condition but also as a social benefit, that can promote social innovation and entrepreneurship.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
