CARDOSO, Fernando Luiz; MARINHO, Alcyane  e  PIMENTEL, Giuliano Gomes de Assis. Gender issues in universtity practitioners of adventure sports. Rev. educ. fis. UEM [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.4, pp.597-608. ISSN 1983-3083.  https://doi.org/10.4025/reveducfis.v24.4.17613.

This study compare the adventure sports practitioners and non practitioners in order to identify specificities among academics of an undergraduate degree in Physical Education. The sample was 157 (52%) men and 145 (48%) women, that filled out in an anonymous and private Sexual Identity Questionnaire (QIC). Of these 107 (35,1%) were classified as non practitioners, 133 (43,7%) as sporadic practitioners and 62 (20,5%) as frequent practitioners. Of the total controlled variables from this study, the adventure sport practice can be explained in 55% of its variation for men and the body satisfaction in 30% for men and 52% for women. Psychological aspects of adventure sport practitioners point to socio-cultural influence of the environment opportunities, as well as, for the children's psychological dimension of a co-educative motor experience.
