Individuals with lower-limb amputations may have a significant strength deficit. This deficit may be related to the stump length and can lead to changes in gait, reduced energy efficiency, walking resistance, altered joint load, and increased risk of osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain. This systematic review used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) guidelines to examine the effects of resistance training in lower limb amputees. Interventions with resistance training and other training methods were sufficient to achieve muscle strength gain in muscles of the lower limbs, improved balance, and improvements in gait pattern and speed when walking. However, it was impossible to determine from the results whether resistance training was mainly responsible for these benefits or even whether the positive effects presented would be observed with only this training method. When combined with other exercises, interventions with resistance training made possible gains for this population. Accordingly, it is noteworthy that the main finding of this systematic review is that the effects may be different according to the level of amputation, with mainly transtibial and transfemoral amputations studied.

Adaptive Surf arises to corroborate to the diversity of physical activity practices in nature by enabling it to be carried out by people with any type of disability, such as physical, hearing, intellectual or other, in order to expand the range of inclusive possibilities and be one of the aspects of Adapted Physical Education. In this context, the aim of this study is to carry out a brief integrative review on adaptive surfing and parasurfing for people with disability and their development process at national and international levels, together with a literature review. Therefore, the study is characterized as a narrative research, with a qualitative approach. From the analysis of the data, it was possible to observe that there is a literary scarcity regarding the theme, however, in recent years there has been a greater incidence of the modality’s dissemination, which, even little in the academic environment, has been rising over both parasports practices, whether for recreation or for high performance purposes.

Este artigo consiste em um estudo de caso que trata de questões relativas à inclusão da pessoa com deficiência na educação a distância. Através de uma entrevista com um discente com deficiência visual desta modalidade de ensino, buscamos compreender aspectos significativos da relação entre educação a distância e a inclusão. Percebemos que a educação a distância tem potencial inclusivo para este discente desde sua origem, eliminando barreiras presentes na educação presencial. A evolução das tecnologias de informação e comunicação é outro fator que colabora para uma educação mais acessível. No entanto, percebe-se que ainda são necessárias melhorias gerais para uma educação inclusiva adequada. Palavras-chave: Ensino superior. Educação a distância. Inclusão. Deficiência visual.
