Being the teenager a “microworld” in transformation, is intend to characterize and compare (gender) body composition parameters in Higher Education students. Methods. The characterization was performed through univariate analysis and the comparison using Mann-Whitney test, for a statistical significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results. Female students presented less satisfactory results in Waist Circumference (WC) and Waist-Hip Ratio (WHiR), male students in Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-Height Ratio (WHeR), and there are statistically significant differences in 3 of the 4 parameters (WC, WHiR and WHeR). Conclusions. These results may be useful to define strategies to combat overweight and obesity, considering the characteristics of this specific population.

  • Physical self-description and sport participation, by gender, of university students
    Publication . Campos, Francisco; Marques, Mariana; Silva, Sofia; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Simões, Vera; Franco, Susana
    University students, who are regular sport participants, showed a superior and more positively physical selfdescription in body fat, general physical self-concept and self-esteem perception (Silva, Vicente, Amaro, & Campos, 2016). In another study with university students, in order to investigate what they think about their own physical appearance (Silva, Saenger, & Pereira, 2011), it was concluded that 63% of male and 67% of female students presents dissatisfaction, although for contradictory reasons (female students were dissatisfied due to overweight; male students were dissatisfied due to the thinness index). Considering this, based on the presented studies, the aim of this research is to characterize and compare sport participants by gender - students of the Cuenca Campus of the Universidad Castilla La Mancha (Spain) - according 4 (four) dimensions of their physical self-description: (1) body fat; (2) general physical self-concept; (3) self-esteem; (4) physical appearance. It was applied a reduced version of the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ), translated to Spanish (Tomás, 1998). The data were collected from 175 university students (22,00±3,41 years old), regular sport participants (at least once per week): 86 females (21,15±1,99 years old) and 89 males (22,82±4,18 years old). After the application of the ANOVA one-way test is possible to confirm, comparing the male with the female sport participants, that there are no statistical significant differences in the dimensions: body fat (F=0,001; p=0,973); self-esteem (F=0,186; p=0,667); physical appearance (F=0,748; p=0,388). In contrast, there are statistical significant differences in general physical selfconcept dimension (F=4,269; p=0,040), having the male participants a higher mean of answer values (M=4,643).

  • Progressão da Carreira no Setor Público : Estudo de Caso numa Câmara Municipal
    Publication . Marques, Mariana; Sampaio, Marta
    Embora se tenha conhecimento de que existe progressão na carreira no setor público, muito pouco se sabe sobre como esta se processa. Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender quais são os fatores que constituem este processo, desde as políticas de recursos humanos integradas na autarquia local à motivação dos seus funcionários e se desta forma, se sentem motivados a desenvolver-se profissionalmente e progredir na organização onde exercem funções. Este estudo de caso foi realizado numa câmara municipal, sendo a metodologia aplicada inquéritos por questionário e análise de documentos internos. Os resultados indicam que a progressão nesta organização nem sempre está alinhada com as práticas de Recursos Humanos existentes, sobressaindo a importância dada pelos colaboradores a que esse tipo de práticas tivesse maior impacto na sua progressão, o que sugere que a existência de uma gestão estratégica de recursos humanos nas políticas instituídas na organização, proporcionaria aos funcionários maior motivação para progredir internamente na sua carreira.
