- Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this pilot study is to make an application of the new developed instrument Fitness Instructors' Behaviour Observation System - Group Classes (SOCIF), and to describe which, in Resistance Training classes, the behaviour instructor's tendencies are. Materials and Methods:There were observed Resistance Training sessions, in group classes, with the content of resistance strength. We registered the behaviours duration through an observation system of the instructors (SOCIF). Results: It was guaranteed excellent values of reliability intra -observer. Discussion: We have concluded that: When we confronted the results of this study with other studies, independently of the context, the two principal behaviours of the teachers, coaches or instructors are Information and/or observation, and the other behaviours present an variable occurrence; there are some behaviours that are never manifested by the instructors; the positive behaviours prevail in relation to the negatives; the instructors use behaviours that are important as pedagogical strategies to retain the participants to the exercise practice, such as positive affectivity, praise, hustle and conversation with participants. The behaviours seem to vary between instructors; the instructors' behaviour seems to change their occurrence in agreement with the class' phases. The instructors' behaviour seems to be influenced by the position of the exercises. The instructors, during the class, spend most of the time in exercise.
