- Comparison of motivational factors between the practice of sports of nature, competitive adventure and leisurePublication . Brandão, António; Frontini, Roberta; Peixoto, Diogo; Fernandes, Daniel; Clemente, Filipe ManuelThe main aim of this study was to compare sports practitioners of a competitive and leisure nature sports regarding their motivations for practice. The sample consisted of 631 adults (504 men and 127 women) who practiced nature and adventure sports. Participants answered an assessment protocol composed of a sociodemographic form and the Exercise Motivation Inventory - 2 (EMI-2) questionnaire. Among leisure and competition practitioners, variations were analyzed using standardized effect size differences (ES) with 90% Confidence Interval (CI). The following scale was used to interpret the magnitude effect: <0,2, trivial; 0,2-0,6, small; 0,6-1,2, moderate; > 1,2, large. The probabilities were tested considering the smallest worthwhile changes (SW, 0,2 x between SD subjects). The following scale was used for qualitative probabilities: 25-75%, possibly; 75-95%, likely; 95-99% very likely; e> 99% almost certain. Differences in variables were tested regarding the following factors: Social Recognition, Positive Health, Weight, Stress Management, Revitalisation, Enjoyment, Challenge, Affiliation, Competition, Health Pressures, Health Avoidance, Appearance, Strength & Endurance and Nimbleness. Only the variables Enjoyment and Competition had moderate magnitude when comparing leisure to competitive practitioners. When comparing within gender, we found that the variable Competition is more noticeable in females compared to leisure having a probability of almost certain with large magnitude on the Enjoyment variable -29.2% [-36.8;-20.6]; ES: -2.17 [-2.89;-1.45] and competition -50.7% [-60.6;-38.4]; ES: -1.52 [-2.00;-1.04]. Understanding the motives that fit the practice of a particular sport is essential to tailor a strategy and make sports plans more appealing and interesting for their practitioners. The Enjoyment and Competition factors were the most significant, which influenced the gender differences between and when comparing the profile of leisure and competitors.
- Comparison of motivational factors for the practice of exercise at gyms and nature and adventure sportsPublication . Frontini, Roberta; Brandão, António; Monteiro, Maria; Salvador, Rogério; Lima, Ricardo Franco; Fernandes, Daniel; Clemente, Filipe ManuelPhysical inactivity continues rising making it necessary to understand what motives the practice of physical exercise and sports. 901 Portuguese practitioners of exercise at gyms and nature and adventure sports modalities were recruited. Participants answered to the Portuguese version of the Exercise Motivations Inventory-2 (EMI-2) to assess the motives for the practice. Independent t-test were executed to compare the motives between the 2 groups and d Cohen was executed for effect size. We found that some motives were significantly higher in exercise at gyms compared to nature and adventure sports, namely Health Avoidance (p = 0.001; d = 1.27), Health Pressures (p = 0.001; d = 0.76), Positive Health (p = 0.001; d = 1.09), Strength & Endurance (p = 0.001; d = 1.02) and Nimbleness (p = 0.001; d = 0.80). These results are in line with previous studies suggesting that the pursuit of health benefits is usually most identified by physical exercise practitioners. These studies are important to create different motivational profiles which may have an impact in the practice (and in the avoidance of withdrawals) in physical activity practice. Keywords: Exercise at gyms; Nature and adventure sports; Motivation.
- Depressive Symptoms and Burnout in Football Players: A Systematic ReviewPublication . Sarmento, Hugo; Frontini, Roberta; Marques, Adilson; Peralta, Miguel; Ordoñez-Saavedra, Nestor; Duarte, João Pedro; Figueiredo, António; Campos, Maria João; Clemente, Filipe ManuelThe purpose of this article was to systematically review and organise the available literature devoted to the topic of depressive symptoms and burnout in football players. A systematic search was conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTdiscus, PubMed, and Psychinfo for articles published up to June 2020. The searches yielded 1589 articles, and after the screening process, a total of 18 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included for review. Playing position and conflicts with coach/management seems to have a direct influence on the prevalence of depressive symptoms in current players as do the injuries and life events of former players. During the pre-competition phase, most of the athletes displayed reduced rates, indicating burnout. An exploration of the mental health of football players will help to create models of care and guide professionals so that they may help players achieve better performance while also having better wellbeing. Understanding how to prevent and cope with the emotional wellbeing of football players will be possible to guide players and coaches.
- The Effectiveness of Post-exercise Stretching in Short-Term and Delayed Recovery of Strength, Range of Motion and Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled TrialsPublication . Afonso, José; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Nakamura, Fábio Yuzo; Morouço, Pedro; Sarmento, Hugo; Inman, Richard A.; Ramirez-Campillo, RodrigoBackground: Post-exercise (i.e., cool-down) stretching is commonly prescribed for improving recovery of strength and range of motion (ROM) and diminishing delayed onset muscular soreness (DOMS) after physical exertion. However, the question remains if post-exercise stretching is better for recovery than other post-exercise modalities. Objective: To provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of supervised randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of post-exercise stretching on short-term (≤1 h after exercise) and delayed (e.g., ≥24 h) recovery makers (i.e., DOMS, strength, ROM) in comparison with passive recovery or alternative recovery methods (e.g., low-intensity cycling). Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42020222091). RCTs published in any language or date were eligible, according to P.I.C.O.S. criteria. Searches were performed in eight databases. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane RoB 2. Meta-analyses used the inverse variance random-effects model. GRADE was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. Results: From 17,050 records retrieved, 11 RCTs were included for qualitative analyses and 10 for meta-analysis (n = 229 participants; 17–38 years, mostly males). The exercise protocols varied between studies (e.g., cycling, strength training). Post-exercise stretching included static stretching, passive stretching, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Passive recovery (i.e., rest) was used as comparator in eight studies, with additional recovery protocols including low intensity cycling or running, massage, and cold-water immersion. Risk of bias was high in ~70% of the studies. Between-group comparisons showed no effect of post-exercise stretching on strength recovery (ES = −0.08; 95% CI = −0.54–0.39; p = 0.750; I2 = 0.0%; Egger's test p = 0.531) when compared to passive recovery. In addition, no effect of post-exercise stretching on 24, 48, or 72-h post-exercise DOMS was noted when compared to passive recovery (ES = −0.09 to −0.24; 95% CI = −0.70–0.28; p = 0.187–629; I2 = 0.0%; Egger's test p = 0.165–0.880). Conclusion: There wasn't sufficient statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis that stretching and passive recovery have equivalent influence on recovery. Data is scarce, heterogeneous, and confidence in cumulative evidence is very low. Future research should address the limitations highlighted in our review, to allow for more informed recommendations. For now, evidence-based recommendations on whether post-exercise stretching should be applied for the purposes of recovery should be avoided, as the (insufficient) data that is available does not support related claims. Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO, identifier: CRD42020222091.
- Passion, grit, and mindset in undergraduate sport sciences studentsPublication . Frontini, Roberta; Sigmundsson, Hermundur; Antunes, Raul; Silva, Ana Filipa; Lima, Ricardo Franco; Clemente, Filipe ManuelThe aim of this study was two-fold: (i) to compare passion, grit and mindset between sexes; and (ii) to analyze the relationships between passion, grit and mindset. Fifty-eight men (age: 20.10 ± 2.70 years old) and forty-eight women (age: 19.27 ± 4.10 years old) sports sciences undergraduate students voluntarily participated in this study. A cross-sectional survey design was followed. The passion scale, grit scale and mindset scale were provided to participants. Comparisons in the passion, grit and mindset items revealed no significant differences between sexes (p > 0.05). Relationships between passion, grit and mindset were tested. Overall (both sexes considered), correlations presented small magnitudes in the pair's passion*grit (r = 0.28; 95%CI [-0.07; 0.31]; p = 0.004), passion*mindset (r = 0.203; 95%CI [0.01; 0.38]; p = 0.043) and grit*mindset (r = 0.06; 95%CI [-0.14; 0.25]; p = 0.574). As conclusions, the present study did not find significant differences in passion, grit and mindset between sexes in undergraduate sports sciences students. Additionally, it was verified that relationships between passion, grit and mindset are small in this population.
- Pre- and Post-Activity Anxiety for Sustainable RaftingPublication . Faria, João; Quaresma, Luis; Cataldi, Stefania; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Bonavolontà, Valerio; Badicu, Georgian; Greco, Gianpiero; Brandão, António; Candia, Michele De; Frontini, Roberta; Latino, Francesca; Fischetti, FrancescoThis study aimed to (i) analyze the levels of state-anxiety of rafting customers, before and after the activity; and (ii) characterize the levels of trait-anxiety and the amount of physical activity performed weekly by clients of a rafting activity. The sample had 100 subjects of a nature sports company, in the rafting activity, with a mean age of 33.27 ± 10.10 years, with 44% female and 56% male participants. They were evaluated in two moments M1 (pre-activity) and M2 (post-activity). In M1, the STAI—State-Anxiety questionnaire and the IPAQ—International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short version) were applied. In M2, the STAI Form 1 State-Anxiety questionnaire was applied again, followed by the STAI trait-anxiety. The results showed no correlation between the amount of weekly physical activity and levels of trait-anxiety (rho(100) = −0.144; p-value = 0.152), thus not corroborating with the existing literature. Regarding state-anxiety, we found that in 55% of cases, it decreased with the practice of rafting, which suggests that the practice may have an anxiolytic effect and promote the well-being and relaxation of participants promoting, in this way, the sustainability of the rafting activity.
- Strength Training versus Stretching for Improving Range of Motion: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisPublication . Afonso, José; Ramirez-Campillo, Rodrigo; Moscão, João; Rocha, Tiago; Zacca, Rodrigo; Martins, Alexandre; Milheiro, André A.; Ferreira, João; Sarmento, Hugo; Clemente, Filipe Manuel(1) Background: Stretching is known to improve range of motion (ROM), and evidence has suggested that strength training (ST) is effective too. However, it is unclear whether its efficacy is comparable to stretching. The goal was to systematically review and meta-analyze randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of ST and stretching on ROM (INPLASY 10.37766/in-plasy2020.9.0098). (2) Methods: Cochrane Library, EBSCO, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, and Web of Science were consulted in October 2020 and updated in March 2021, followed by search within reference lists and expert suggestions (no constraints on language or year). Eligibility criteria: (P) Humans of any condition; (I) ST interventions; (C) stretching (O) ROM; (S) supervised RCTs. (3) Re-sults: Eleven articles (n = 452 participants) were included. Pooled data showed no differences between ST and stretching on ROM (ES = −0.22; 95% CI = −0.55 to 0.12; p = 0.206). Sub-group analyses based on risk of bias, active vs. passive ROM, and movement-per-joint analyses showed no between-protocol differences in ROM gains. (4) Conclusions: ST and stretching were not different in their effects on ROM, but the studies were highly heterogeneous in terms of design, protocols and populations, and so further research is warranted. However, the qualitative effects of all the studies were quite homogeneous.

- Web-Based Psychotherapy and Exercise Interventions for Depressive and Anxiety DisordersPublication . Carneiro, Lara; Afonso, José; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Frontini, RobertaThe last decade has seen a renewed recognition of the interconnection of the mental and physical well-being of people living with anxiety and depression disorders. Research has assessed the impact of exercise and psychological interventions as monotherapy and complementary treatments to usual care and found considerable benefits to reduce psychiatric symptoms and improve better quality of life. There is growing interest in online interventions, and online counseling can be an alternative to traditional face-to-face therapies. Questions remain on the effectiveness and best practices to deliver such interventions. The authors identify and summarize research evaluating online psychotherapy and exercise interventions in individuals with anxiety and depression disorders. They address web-based psychotherapy interventions and web-based exercise interventions for anxiety and depression disorders, followed by combined web-based intervention with psychotherapy and exercise, and discuss strategies to improve adherence to treatments.
