- Alterações morfológicas e de rotina diária em três meses de confinamento devido à pandemia provocada pelo SARS COV-2 em crianças e jovens praticantes de atletismoPublication . Matos, Rui; Antunes, Raul; Salvador, Rogério; Amaro, Nuno; Rebelo-Goncalves, Ricardo; Lopes, Nataniel; Coelho, Luís
- Alterações no desempenho motor em 3 meses de confinamento devido à pandemia provocada pelo SARS-CoV-2 em crianças e jovens praticantes de atletismoPublication . Coelho, Luís; Rebelo-Goncalves, Ricardo; Antunes, Raul; Salvador, Rogério; Amaro, Nuno; Monteiro, Diogo; Lopes, Nataniel; Matos, RuiEste estudo analisou as alterações no desempenho de crianças e jovens praticantes de atletismo em 4 tarefas motoras: corrida de velocidade (CV), corrida de resistência (CR), salto horizontal (SH) e lançamento dorsal (LD), após o confinamento obrigatório e interrupção dos seus treinos em contexto normal, devido à pandemia SARS-Cov-2. Foram avaliados 46 praticantes de atletismo (23 raparigas; 23 rapazes), com idades compreendidas entre 9,3 e 13,2 anos de idade (M=11,5; DP=1,1) em dois momentos separados por cerca de 80 dias: antes e depois do 1.º confinamento. Os resultados demonstram uma diminuição dos valores médios de desempenho nas 4 tarefas motoras avaliadas, com diferenças estatisticamente significativas para 3 das 4 (p<,01), com exceção para a CV. Analisados os dados por grupos, nos atletas que mantiveram a prática de exercício físico regular durante o confinamento (43,5%), o decréscimo no desempenho apenas se revelou estatisticamente significativo para o SH e LD (p<.01), enquanto que para os atletas que não mantiveram a prática de exercício físico regular o decréscimo apenas se revelou estatisticamente significativo para a CR e LD (p<0,05). Comparados os grupos para as diferenças de desempenho entre os dois momentos, não foram constatadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p>0,05). Estes resultados corroboram os efeitos negativos do confinamento e das alterações no processo de treino nas camadas mais jovens, mesmo para os que mantiveram uma prática de exercício físico regular durante a interrupção dos seus treinos em contexto normal.

- Are Young Swimmers Short and Middle Distances Energy Cost Sex-Specific?Publication . Massini, Danilo A.; Almeida, Tiago A. F.; Vasconcelos, Camila M. T.; Macedo, Anderson G.; Espada, Mário A. C.; Reis, Joana F.; Alves, Francisco J. B.; Fernandes, Ricardo J. P.; Filho, Dalton M. PessôaThis study assessed the energy cost in swimming (C) during short and middle distances to analyze the sex-specific responses of C during supramaximal velocity and whether body composition account to the expected differences. Twenty-six swimmers (13 men and 13 women: 16.7 ± 1.9 vs. 15.5 ± 2.8 years old and 70.8 ± 10.6 vs. 55.9 ± 7.0 kg of weight) performed maximal front crawl swimming trials in 50, 100, and 200 m. The oxygen uptake ((Formula presented.) O2) was analyzed along with the tests (and post-exercise) through a portable gas analyser connected to a respiratory snorkel. Blood samples were collected before and after exercise (at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th min) to determine blood lactate concentration [La–]. The lean mass of the trunk (LMTrunk), upper limb (LMUL), and lower limb (LMLL) was assessed using dual X-ray energy absorptiometry. Anaerobic energy demand was calculated from the phosphagen and glycolytic components, with the first corresponding to the fast component of the (Formula presented.) O2 bi-exponential recovery phase and the second from the 2.72 ml × kg–1 equivalent for each 1.0 mmol × L–1 [La–] variation above the baseline value. The aerobic demand was obtained from the integral value of the (Formula presented.) O2 vs. swimming time curve. The C was estimated by the rate between total energy releasing (in Joules) and swimming velocity. The sex effect on C for each swimming trial was verified by the two-way ANOVA (Bonferroni post hoc test) and the relationships between LMTrunk, LMUL, and LMLL to C were tested by Pearson coefficient. The C was higher for men than women in 50 (1.8 ± 0.3 vs. 1.3 ± 0.3 kJ × m–1), 100 (1.4 ± 0.1 vs. 1.0 ± 0.2 kJ × m–1), and 200 m (1.0 ± 0.2 vs. 0.8 ± 0.1 kJ × m–1) with p < 0.01 for all comparisons. In addition, C differed between distances for each sex (p < 0.01). The regional LMTrunk (26.5 ± 3.6 vs. 20.1 ± 2.6 kg), LMUL (6.8 ± 1.0 vs. 4.3 ± 0.8 kg), and LMLL (20.4 ± 2.6 vs. 13.6 ± 2.5 kg) for men vs. women were significantly correlated to C in 50 (R2adj = 0.73), 100 (R2adj = 0.61), and 200 m (R2adj = 0.60, p < 0.01). Therefore, the increase in C with distance is higher for men than women and is determined by the lean mass in trunk and upper and lower limbs independent of the differences in body composition between sexes.
- Assessing affective valence and activation in resistance training with the feeling scale and the felt arousal scale: A systematic reviewPublication . Bastos, Vasco; Rodrigues, Filipe; David, Paul; Teixeira, DiogoEvidence suggests affective responses to exercise can influence exercise adherence. However, there is a limited understanding of how and when to measure core affect in resistance training. As such, the objective of this systematic review was to analyze how the Feeling Scale and/or the Felt Arousal Scale have been used in resistance training to assess core affect. Focus was given to the contextual feasibility, timing, and frequency of assessment. A search in PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and PsycINFO databases was conducted (last search date July, 2022) with the purpose of including experimental and non-experimental studies, utilizing the Feeling Scale and/or the Felt Arousal Scale in resistance training, and focused on apparently healthy individuals of any age. Twenty-seven studies (N = 718 participants) published between 2009–2022 were qualitatively analyzed. Both scales appeared to be able to detect core affect within a wide array of intensities, ages, and equipment. As for the timing and frequency of measurement, no apparent standardization was evident. The use of the Feeling Scale, the Felt Arousal Scale, or both, to measure core affect appears to be feasible in resistance training practices. However, a lack of methodological background raises concerns regarding the quality of previous studies’ assessments and comparisons of results across studies.

Given the importance of accurately measuring this latent construct, it is imperative to carry out a careful assessment of the available tools. In this context, the aim of this review was to take an in-depth look at the six most cited measurement tools to assess FAI, with a specific focus on patient-reported outcome measures related to ankle and foot. Four electronic databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Pubmed, and SportDiscus) were searched (up to November 2022) to identify the six most cited questionnaires for assessing FAI. Our analysis showed that the most cited questionnaires are the following: the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), the Foot Function Index (FFI), the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), the Olerud and Molander Ankle Score (OMAS), and the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). Each questionnaire was thoroughly assessed and discussed in three sections: Development, Reliability, and Summaries. In addition, bibliometric data were calculated to analyze the relevance of each questionnaire. Despite variations in terms of validity and reliability, conceptualization, structure, and usefulness, the six questionnaires proved to be robust from a psychometric point of view, being widely supported in the literature. The bibliometric analyses suggested that the FAOS ranks first and the FFI ranks sixth in the weighted average of the impact factors of their original publications.
- Assessing the impact of strength training in the functional fitness of the elderlyPublication . Salvador, Rogério; Frontini, RobertaBACKGROUND: The health benefits of resistance training have been vastly valued in opposition to strength training. Nonetheless, literature has consistently acknowledged the clinical and functional benefits of strength training. The main aim of this study was to better understand the impact of the inclusion of a strength training on the functional aptitude of elderly participants. METHODS: This observational research recruited the sample at a local wellness center. Participants were part of two different groups: a Control Group and a Strength Training Group. Both groups were assessed in the beginning and at the end of the school year. A validated adaptation of The Senior Fitness Test was used. Height, weight, Body Mass Index, and body fat mass were also calculated. RESULTS: Regarding the differences from Time 1 to Time 2, the Strength Training Group obtained a statistically significant result on the chair stand and the Body Mass Index, with a large and a moderate effect respectively. The Control Group had a statistically significant result on the chair sit-and-reach, the two-minute step test and the percentage of body fat mass. CONCLUSIONS: The results seem to suggest that the two training methodologies may be effective in improving the functionality of the elderly. Strength training revealed potential contributions in the improvement of some of the results, such as flexibility of the upper limbs or even strength of the lower limbs.
