MARIN, Patrício Emílio  and  FERREIRA, Leandro. Teaching and learning process of strength training: pedagogy applied to nonformal education. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2019, vol.36, n.109, pp. 47-56. ISSN 0103-8486.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyse if the strength training instructors teach the conceptual dimensions of content, procedural dimensions of content and attitudinal dimensions of contents. METHODS: Eight physical education professionals took part in order to accomplish this study. They are strength training instructors of four fitness centers at two cities from the Jaboticabal region. The volunteers were evaluated in three stages called observation, simulation and interview. In the first stage the volunteers were followed in their professional performance in a normal day of work. In the simulation phase the professionals participated in a practical activity such as in a job interview. The last step the physical education professionals were inquired about the knowledge and orientation of their students in the dimensions of contents. The information was organized through analysis of content and frequency that it happened the cases. RESULTS: It was observed that the professionals teach procedures such as posture, range of motion, bulk and intensity of training. Regarding concepts few information is taught, highlighting the names of muscle groups. For attitudinal content only discipline is taught. When the three situations analyzed on this study only for the procedural dimension, the simulation and interviews got an agreement that were observed in practice. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that the procedural dimension of the content is more taught by the strength training instructors if compared to the conceptual dimension. The attitudinal dimension is almost not addressed. There are gaps in the teaching learning process mainly in the conceptual and attitudinal dimensions which shows that it is necessary more commitment from the physical education professionals linked to these dimensions of contents.
