Análise da ampliação da academia do SESI/AM para atendimento a pessoa com deficiência física: estímulo a inclusão social, laboral e qualidade de vida

Abstract

The search for quality of life has been a very important factor in the current scenario. A means of achieving quality of life would be through the practice of sports that provides health and people's well-being. The discussion on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the academies has been going on for some time. It is noteworthy that not all gyms are adapted to receive people with disabilities (PWD). Therefore, this problem is the main object of this study aimed at social inclusion, labor and promoting the quality of life of Persons with Disabilities with the expansion of the academy SESI / AM to attend this public. Brazil is a country considered one of the champions in the population with disabilities because there are 24.5 million Brazilians with some kind of physical or mental disability. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE, 2010), in the Amazon about 790,647 people have a disability in Manaus 461,414 people live with some form of disability, which demonstrates the need for attention to this audience. Not all gyms have adapted infrastructure to accommodate people with disabilities and that audience has grown year by year. The initiatives are few in contrast to encouragement from the various associations that serve the disabled. The physical exercise is fundamental to the growth and evolution of the treatment of certain types of disabilities and many institutions do not arouse interest to the importance of these actions. This makes it possible to justify the importance of expanding the services offered to this segment so full of limitations and lacking in attention. Regular physical activity has received attention in health promotion and quality of life, therefore, epidemiological evidence supports the positive effect of an active lifestyle. Given the above, this work aims to analyze the expansion of the Academy SESI Amazon Labour Club to serve the employees of the industrial sector with physical disabilities and other interested parties. The methodology is used traditional techniques of economic engineering to analyze the economic feasibility of the project. As a result of the feasibility study, the traditional techniques of economic engineering used indicated that the investment for expansion of the facility is feasible and the return on investment will be achieved. In order to evaluate the acceptance of this investment by the target audience, we used the technique of critical incident (ICT) and the joint analysis (CA). The application of the critical incident technique provided the attributes considered important for the adoption of this study: access, physical structure, partnerships and sponsorships and social inclusion. The analysis was used to determine the usefulness and the relative importance of the attributes identified as relevant, showing the attributes Physical Structure, Partnerships and Sponsorships and access were identified as the most important, noting that order. In conclusion, the adaptation of the Academy SESI for dissemination of practical activities to people with physical disabilities is seen as a strategic initiative in terms of social responsabilidfade, thus providing the quality of life and social inclusion of people with disabilities.
