OKIMURA-KERR, Tiemi y OKUMA, Silene Sumire. Atitude crítica de idosos sobre atividade física. Rev. Bras. Educ. Fís. Esporte [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.04, pp.717-729. ISSN 1981-4690.
The aim of this study was to analyze the critical attitude of elderly people in the Physical Activity Autonomy Program in relation to physical activity. The study included eighteen subjects, who answered two questions after attending each of the following classes: rhythmical activity, yoga, circular dance, tai chi chuan, saloon dance, aerobox and video oriented elderly activities. Qualitative analysis resulted in two categories of answers: reflections on personal needs and recognition of inadequacies in the proposed activities. Of these responses, 43% indicate critical reflection and 37% indicate inadequacies. The results indicate that most of the answers show no critical attitude to class experiences. However, a limitation of this study was the student’s difficult in writing procedure. This indicates a need to create other strategies to evaluation elderly population that is heterogeneous in terms of educational level and life experiences.
