    Publication . Machado, Tiago; Serrano, João
    O grande objectivo deste trabalho foi identificar as actividades realizadas nos tempos livres das crianças e jovens acolhidos em Lares de Infância e Juventude (LIJ), e, verificar o grau de satisfação face às actividades desenvolvidas de acordo com as variáveis idade e género. A amostra é composta por 103 crianças e jovens, acolhidos nos seis Lares de Infância e Juventude existentes no distrito de Castelo Branco. O instrumento de recolha de dados foi um questionário, aplicado a todas as crianças e jovens institucionalizadas. Os resultados demostram que as crianças e jovens realizam sobretudo atividades como ver TV, conversar com os colegas durante os seus tempos livres dentro das instituições, e fora das mesmas a prática desportiva é mais comum. As atividades variam de acordo com o género e escalão etário ao qual pertencem.

    The lack of specific training in Adapted Sports in Portugal is an obvious reality and according to this context, the Polytechnic of Castelo Branco, through their School of Education presents in the study plan of the bachelor’s degree of Sports and Physical Activity, the specialization of Sport for People with Disabilities. One of the Curricular Units (CU) included in the study plan is Adapted Sports, where several practical and collaborative methodologies are used. A questionnaire was address to 30 students with the purpose of evaluating the teacher’s performance and the importance of functional and practical dynamism of this Curricular Unit. The teaching methodologies used are highly appreciated by the students, as confirmed by the results of the curricular unit evaluation (mean 5.62) as well as the teacher’s performance (mean 5.66), for a maximal evaluation of 6. This CU also aims to sensitize the entire academic community to Adapted Sports, in order to develop workshops and continuous training in this field.

    Publication . Pires, Pedro Rui Inês; Mesquita, Helena; Batista, Marco; Honório, Samuel; Serrano, João; Machado, Tiago; Ibáñez, Sergio J.
    The coach role has been widely studied, and it has become a ruling factor in achievement of more knowledge, and by improving their competence. However, most studies are related to regular sports, making it essential to develop the same process in adapted sports. The present study aims to create a project that intends to establish a coaching profile in the field of Adapted Sport through the perspectives of coaches and athletes with Intellectual Disability (ID). Quantitative methods will be used as resource. We will question coaches through questionnaires for the mentoring profile (CPQ; SCDS; SCLS; SCPS) whereas for the leadership profile we will use the Sports Leadership Scale (ELD). As for the athletes they will be questioned through: BRSQ; BPNSS; SWLS and PANAS and Leadership Scale for Sports - LSS - Perception Version and Preferences). The results obtained in the described process, will serve to develop out the construction of a profile of training and performance for the coaches in the area of adapted sport.
