– LABORATORIES

The program has laboratories equipped with rooms for advisors and students and a meeting room, in addition to computers with internet access, through UFPel’s own network. In addition, the institution shares the use of UFPel’s Graduate Program in Epidemiology Program Laboratories. As a result, each laboratory has its own research infrastructure. ARE THEY:

LABORATORY OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF EXERCISE (LABFEX)

LABFEX aims to determine the acute and chronic effects of physical activity and the impact on population health that sedentary behavior can bring, especially in the field of chronic diseases. In addition, LABFEX provides the means to measure the consequences of physical exercise on physical-sports performance, investigating the biochemical and physiological mechanisms involved in this process. The laboratory is used by the two areas of concentration of the course.

MOTOR BEHAVIOR LABORATORY (LACOM)

LACOM focuses on research on motor behavior, using psychological, biomechanical and physiological approaches for the analysis of human movement, in order to advance the understanding of the various dimensions related to performance and motor learning.

LABORATORY OF CULTURAL STUDIES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The Laboratory provides institutional support for research and the study of Modern Sport, Leisure and Health from an Interdisciplinary perspective of the Humanities.

LABORATORY FOR SOCIAL, SCHOOL AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDIES

The main objective of the laboratory is to contribute to the conduct of research and studies of Modern Sports and Physical Education, which are oriented to prioritize the relationships between these (Modern Sports, Physical Education) with Education and with Society.

LABORATORY OF TEACHING, RESEARCH AND EXTENSION IN MEASURES AND EVALUATION

The Laboratory provides teaching and researching the assessment of body composition, physical fitness of sedentary, active people and athletes and the physical condition of sports teams.

NEUROMUSCULAR ASSESSMENT LABORATORY (LABNEURO)

The laboratory aims to provide the development of studies related to the evaluation and prescription of exercises from a physiological and biomechanical point of view with the participation and involvement of graduate and undergraduate students.

COLLECTIVE SPORTS STUDY LABORATORY – LEECOL

LEECOL aims to collaborate with the development of studies related to the area of ​​sport biodynamics, professional training for sports and school sports.

The “LABORATORY OF BODY COMPOSITION”, the LABORATORY OF HEALTH CARDIOVASCULAR and the LABORATORY OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY belong to another unit of the University and used in partnership between Programs.

It is also worth mentioning that the UFPel Higher School of Physical Education has a soccer field, multi-sport courts, a didactic gym, a weight and dance / gym room, a fight room, an artistic gym room. It also has a semi-Olympic heated swimming pool available for rent. This structure is fully shared with the Postgraduate Program and provides support for the research carried out by its teachers and students. Each of the teachers has their own room shared with, at most, one more teacher in the program, all of whom are air conditioned and have internet access.

– COMPUTER RESOURCES

The program’s students have at their disposal a PPG computer lab with internet access and Capes Portal. In addition to the library and computer lab available to students in the program, there is an internet signal via optical fiber in all classrooms and other ESEF facilities, with a speed of 20 Gigabytes. As a result of the improvement in the speed of the internet, it began to be used during the disciplines, for on-site viewing of information, and in defenses and meetings, with the participation of teachers via teleconference.
In addition, rooms equipped with Datashow are available to students and teachers. LIM computers (computer lab at ESEF UFPel) are also available to students of the Program, which are networked and run on the Windows operating system.

– LIBRARY

The ESEF Sectorial Library is linked to the UFPel Library System (Sisbi / UFPel), coordinated by the Library Division. It aims to serve students, teachers and ESEF employees, as well as the community in general, providing them with the retrieval of information relevant to their search for study and research in the field of Physical Education.
The Federal University of Pelotas has services such as cataloging at source, loan and online catalog, which are found online through the page https://prg.ufpel.edu.br/sisbi. The system allows the user to consult the bibliographic collection of the Library System, make loans, renewals and reservations of bibliographic material.
UFPel’s library system also has a digital library, which aims to disseminate the electronic content of the institution’s scientific production. It relies substantially on national and international experiences in building libraries in academic and research environments, integrating itself with the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations of the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (BDTD / IBICT). Additionally, there is the institutional server guaiaca.ufpel.edu.br which aims to create a comprehensive repository of UFPel’s scientific production and place it for public access over the internet, in addition to offering the academic community a working methodology for electronic publication.
The library shares cooperative information bases, such as: LILACS Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Information System; CCN- National Collective Catalog of Serial Publications; Collective Catalog of Technical Standards; COMUT- Bibliographic switching program. It also has the support of a Help-desk librarian from the Portal de Periódicos Capes for the South Region of the country.
The Higher School of Physical Education has a sectoral library in which books and periodicals can be found. It provides computers for users to consult the CAPES Journal Portal, without base restrictions including IEEE and Bank of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), institutional repository, collection of technical standards (ABNT), as well as remote access via Proxy. In addition, other services are developed such as bibliographic search, electronic bulletin of recent acquisitions, bibliographic switching, among others. The collection of ESEF’s sectoral library currently has 2,021 physical titles (4,705 copies), including books, periodicals and dissertations. Access to bibliographic content from related areas can also be found in other sector libraries at the Federal University of Pelotas.
