2. Athletes are subjected to the coaches’ power and they may go far in order to gain recognition and goods from the coach (e.g. sacrifice
their future health).
In these examples there will be no formula that can tell the coach how to act. Rather, each situation calls for ethical judgements by the
coach.
The Aristotelian notion of phronesis is useful in order to understand more clearly the ethical challenges involved in professional judgement
in coaching. Phronesis is a form of practical wisdom that balances knowledge of universals with a sound appreciation of the particulars
of each case (cf. Gallagher, 1992). The characteristic feature of practical rationality is judgement, which is a crucial aspect to take
into account when you navigate within the complexities and context-dependent features that are in play in the messy sport coaching
landscape.
We will discuss the relevance of phronesis to coaching, and ask if and how phronesis can be learned and practiced by coaches. For
Aristotle practical knowledge in general and phronesis in particular can only be learned by taking part in the practice one is concerned
with. This should suggest that for a coach phronesis could be learned through some form of apprenticeship in sports coaching, through
following `the good example´.

STUDY OF TIME DURATIONS: “THE TRAJECTORY OF THE BALL IN TEAM SPORTS AND HYPOTHESIS ABOUT ITS EFFECT
ON PERCEPTION’

Introduction: Sport teams have been the subject of various research concerning the quantitative aspects of performance, strength, endurance,
speed, the technical aspects of gestures, biomechanics, motor control, qualitative tactical aspects as game scheme and the
strategy as well as the educational issues for an appropriate teaching and training. We consider that these aspects can also help to build
up a theory about training methodology in team sports. It has never been studied how the ball is touched by the body: grasp, throw, the
reject of the ball and the time that it takes between two consecutive touches by two different players. These aspects have never been
searched or tested on the game court although they are present in all team sports. This affects the dynamics of the game as well as the
movement. Knowing how the ball is touched by the body and the relationship between the time and the space in different team sports is
related to perception and its effects on training methodology.
Objective : Measuring the time displacement of the ball between two consecutive touched by two players including the contact time for
different sport teams
Methodology : Video analysis of the matches of same rank. Performance analysis software and time measurement by statistics central
index as mean and mode, comparing time distance and contact with ball in different team sports
Results: Volleyball has the first lower time, basketball has the second lower time, handball has the third lower time and finally football
has the last time
Discussion: Rejection is a very fast movement , the fastest one among those that are usually performed in team sports. The information is
taken and processed in mind very quickly and the response must be equally fast. The small size of the playing field decreases the time
with which the ball moves.
Conclusion : In order to correctly analyze the phenomenon, it is required to deepen the main theories on motor control. We need to take
into account perception, aspects and include team sports training methodology.

Introduction: The infancy is the period what the child develops at every the dimensions (motor, physics, affective, social or cognitive). The
quality from the experiences lived by children this period they’ll determine of certain forms, the adult on which they if they’ll become. The
gymnastics activities are practices beneficial about to the persons at every the period of life. On first infancy they contributory on encouragement
and development from the body movements and the functions all-important, just as on skill control and body dominate in
different situation and on acquisition of standards basic of movement. Owing to the multiples factors what can step in on performance
motor of jobs of life diary, it works and/ or activities sporting realized for children this study object observe the influence from practice of
gymnastics activities into the development motor of children among 4 the 6 years old.
Method: Twenty eight children between 4 and 6 years old, both the types from community of São Caetano do Sul have been appraised
based on the Protocol of tests of balance and coordination (Lefévre, 1976). After the appraisals initial the children they performed the
practice gymnastics twice a day week with one hour of duration each class for 3 months. The practice gymnastics offers activities focused
about to the development from the capacities physics, skills manipulativas and the parts gymnastics (stars, rolls, forwards, backwards,
round off, flic flac, among another). The finish from the 3 months the children have been reappraising. For each test, observed the success
or failure comparing the two appraisals.
Results and Discussion: The tax of success on the tests of balance static and dynamic was of 70% initially at every the ages, inferior the
75% description for Lefévre (1976). After the practice gymnastics observed 100% of success on the states tests for all the ages. The results
indicates the importance from activity physical into the daily from the children for the purpose of develop the capabilities physics , skills
manipulativas and bring up a lifestyle more healthy for the child.
