Atividades físicas/práticas corporais e o cuidado de si durante o confinamento da Covid-19 no Rio Grande do Norte. Orientadora: Dra. Maria Isabel Brandão de Souza Mendes. 2025. 65f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Educação Física) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/63135The research aimed to discuss Physical Activities/Body Practices (PA/BP) and selfcare during the Covid-19 confinement in Rio Grande do Norte, among undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students. It was a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, using a semi-structured questionnaire containing both closed and open-ended questions.Various PA/BP were carried out autonomously at home and in outdoor spaces, with the aid of digital platforms, providing those who experienced them with a diversity of sensations, both positive (relaxation, well-being, decreased anxiety, etc.) and negative (irritation and pain, for example), showing that these practices represent one part among several actions that can contribute to selfcare, in a subjective and unique way, but that, in isolation, do not guarantee only benefits. This discussion may contribute with new perspectives, implications, and other points for Physical Education in unusual contexts.Acesso AbertoAtividade física/prática corporalCuidado de siCovid-19Educação físicaRio Grande do NortemasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::EDUCACAO FISICA
