Um estudo da resistência cardiorrespiratória: um fator de qualidade de vida para alunos da educação básica

Abstract

Cardiorespiratory endurance is a very important physical capacity or fitness for human health. It intensely works the body's major systems: respiratory and circulatory. In this work, pulmonary ventilation and oxygenation of the muscles by the oxygen carried by the blood occur. The development of physical capacity and cardiorespiratory endurance can be a qualityof-life factor for students in the early years of basic education. The objective of this work is to create a continuous training instrument that is easy to implement, but with a strong theoretical basis for teachers on the development of cardiorespiratory endurance as a way of improving quality of life and creating the habit of practicing physical activities in their students. In this context even though various types of media show that creating the habit of practicing physical activity is healthy and even prophylactic for various pathologies and metabolic syndromes, our population is still resistant to this practice. However, as our children can experience this in a compulsory subject in nursery, primary and secondary education, backed by the Law on the Guidelines and Basis of Brazilian Education, we should take advantage of this moment to encourage our students to do this. The subject of Physical Education, although compulsory in basic education, according to the LDB, still has no regulation on what should be taught in its classes, thus leaving ample room for work and different objectives, unlike past legislation. The aim of this work is to create an easy-to-use continuing education tool, but with a strong theoretical basis for teachers on the development of cardiorespiratory endurance as a way of improving quality of life and creating a habit of practicing physical activity in their students. Participants in continuing education through workshops showed in their records that this instrument achieved its objectives, as they understood the benefits of developing cardiorespiratory endurance in basic education students, in addition to understanding what it is for and how they can use this physical capacity as a form of physical development and to improve the quality of life of its students.
