ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to map the instruments used to assess parental support for physical activity and their constructs and psychometric properties. Data source: A scoping review was conducted, with searches in seven electronic databases and reference lists, covering articles available until April 2022. Original and cross-sectional studies were sought that used questionnaires, inventories or questions to assess parental support for the practice of physical activity and sports by children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years and that assessed the barriers reported by parents or guardians for not offering support. Data synthesis: Of the initial 1739 articles, 21 made up the synthesis. From a general perspective, 11 studies from 5 continents used a questionnaire or inventory or question to assess parental support; the majority of the samples evaluated were made up of girls and mothers. The intraclass correlation coefficient was the most used measure to evaluate the reliability of the instruments (10 studies). To assess the reliability of the instruments, Cronbach’s alpha was the most used measure (13 studies). Conclusions: Only one instrument was constructed respecting the psychometric properties. Authors are advised to consider the importance of following the instrument validity evidence process when developing or adapting instruments.

Abstract Background Considering the evident risk in the literature between the use of screen devices and sleep, there are still few studies on the relationship between each electronic screen device, media programs and sleep duration and sleep-related problems among adolescents and which variables interfere in these relationships. Therefore, this study has the following objectives: (1) to determine which are the most common electronic display devices related to sleep time and outcomes and (2) to determine which are the most common social network applications, such as Instagram and WhatsApp, associated with sleep outcomes. Methods This was a cross-sectional study with 1101 Spanish adolescents between 12 and 17 years old. Age, sex, sleep, psychosocial health, adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), sport practice, and time spent on screen devices were assessed by an ad hoc questionnaire. Linear regression analyses were applied, adjusting for several covariables. Poisson regression was applied between the sexes. A p value

OBJETIVO: Comparar as atitudes de atletas do sexo masculinos e feminino frente a dilemas em situações de jogo de futebol, tomando como referência os valores de honestidade e justiça, sob o ponto de vista do fair play. MÉTODOS: Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram atletas adolescentes de 16 e 17 anos, vinculados a um clube de futebol do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa comparativa com abordagem qualitativa. Foram realizadas entrevistas presenciais em que foram apresentados dilemas em situações hipotéticas de jogos de futebol, (1) foram coletadas as respostas dos(as) atletas (2) através das técnicas de análise de discurso foram definidas dimensões de análise e; (3) a partir dessas dimensões foram efetivadas as comparações entre atletas do sexo masculino e feminino. RESULTADOS: Não encontramos diferenças significativas entre os gêneros nos discursos dos atletas referentes às suas atitudes em relação aos dilemas. A forma de encarar e vivenciar o futebol foi muito parecida. A maioria dos e das atletas mostraram-se mais propensos a não praticar o fair play. CONCLUSÃO: Não podemos negar que há diferenças biológicas e fisiológicas, mas não há diferença nas formas de viver e encarar esses “futebóis”. Há uma necessidade urgente de um trabalho mais sólido de educação ética e moral, o que não é uma tarefa simples e exige de todos os envolvidos na formação dos jovens atletas. Sendo assim o fair play e o desportivismo não são apenas da responsabilidade do jogador/atleta, mas sim de todos os que estão diretamente ou indiretamente envolvidos.
