Abstract Aim: The aims of the present study were to verify the self-perception level of the chronotype of amateur street runners and to test the association between the chronotype, gender, age, and preferred training time. Methods: A total of 166 amateur street runners were included (♀ = 89, age 38.9 ± 11.2 years; ♂ = 77, age 38.0 ± 9.7 years). The Brazilian version of the Horne & östberg questionnaire was used to assess chronotypes and the preferred training time was determined through a multiple choice question. Based on chronotype definitions that suggest that when free to choose, morning-types (MT) would prefer training in the morning, evening-types (ET) in the evening and neither-types (NT) would not have a predilection for any specific time. The corroboration of this hypothesis was assumed as self-perception level of the chronotypes. Results: Women showed higher self-perception levels of their chronotype compared to men (58.4% vs. 41.6%; χ2 = 4.699; p = 0.030). By chronotypes, MT, NT, and ET self-perception levels were 73.9%, 15.9%, 88.9%, respectively (χ2 = 57.489; p < 0.001). The most observed women circadian typology was MT, while in men it was NT (χ2 = 8.951; p = 0.011). However, there was no significant association between gender and preferred training time (χ2 = 2.654; p = 0.265). Age, female gender and preference to exercise during the day are associated with MT. Conclusion: Women runners showed a greater perception of their circadian traits than men, despite there was no association between gender and preferred training time.

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi classificar as revistas A1, área 21, de acordo com as taxas envolvidas no processo de publicação. Os periódicos foram selecionados a partir da área Educação Física, quadriênio 2013-2016. A busca foi realizada em Abril de 2019. As informações referentes ao custeio incluíram taxas de submissão, processamento e/ou tramitação, publicação e cobranças adicionais. As despesas com o acesso aberto também foram atribuídas aos autores. Os periódicos foram classificados dos mais baratos para os mais caros. Em caso de igualdade nos valores cobrados, utilizou-se o fator de impacto como critério de desempate, seguindo a ordem decrescente para esse índice. Dos 235 periódicos, somente 8 apresentaram gratuidade no processo. Considerando o cenário de financiamentos limitados para pesquisa tais achados poderiam impactar na produtividade científica nacional.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to classify the A1 journals of area 21 according to the rates involved in the publication process. The journals were selected from the Physical Education evaluation area, quadrennium 2013-2016. The search was conducted in April 2019. Costing information included submission, processing, publication and additional fees. Open access expenditure has also been allocated. The journals have been ranked from the cheapest to the most expensive. Only 8 of 235 journals presented gratuity in the process. Considering the scenario of limited research funding, such findings could impact on national scientific productivity.

RESUMEN El objetivo del estudio fue clasificar las revistas A1, área 21, de acuerdo con las tasas involucradas en el proceso de publicación. Las revistas fueron seleccionadas del área de Educación Física, cuatrienio 2013-2016. La búsqueda se realizó en abril de 2019. La información de costos incluyó el envío, el procesamiento y / o las tarifas de procesamiento, la publicación y los cargos adicionales. Los gastos con acceso abierto también se atribuyeron al autor. Las revistas se clasificaron del más barato al más caro. En caso de igualdad en las cantidades cobradas, el factor de impacto se consideró el desempate, siguiendo el orden descendente de este índice. De las 235 revistas, solo 8 se presentaron de forma gratuita en el proceso. Considerando el escenario de financiamiento limitado para la investigación, tales hallazgos podrían afectar la productividad científica nacional.
