A Novel Approach to Training Monotony and Acute-Chronic Workload Index: A Compa...

Load is a multifactorial construct, but usually reduced to parameters of volume and intensity. In the last decades, other constructs have been proposed for assessing load, but also relying on relationships between volume and intensity. For example, Foster's Training Monotony has been used in athletes' load management simply by computing mean weekly load divided by its standard deviation, often multiplied by ses...

Towards a de facto Nonlinear Periodization: Extending Nonlinearity from Program...

Planning is paramount in sport. Among different philosophical approaches to planning, periodization is a highly popular concept that refers to structured training periods with ensuing programs encompassing moments of progressively-loaded training, followed by recovery; it is normally deemed paramount to optimize adaptations and performance. While planning provides generic guidelines, periodization refers to the...

The Influence of Playing Position on Physical, Physiological, and Technical Dem...

Background There has been an increase in studies examining the demands of soccer relative to each playing position in recent years. Understanding the physical, physiological, and technical demands on soccer players according to their positional role during competitive matches is necessary to understand match requirements and develop position-specifc training practices. Thereby, there is a clear need to synthesi...

What we do not know about stretching in healthy athletes: a scoping review with...

Background: Stretching has garnered significant attention in sports sciences, resulting in numerous studies. However, there is no comprehensive overview on investigation of stretching in healthy athletes. Objectives: To perform a systematic scoping review with an evidence gap map of stretching studies in healthy athletes, identify current gaps in the literature, and provide stakeholders with priorities for futu...

Surf therapy for people with mental health disorders: a systematic review of ra...

Background: Surf therapy is gaining popularity for improving mental health. However, there is limited research evidence to substantiate these claims. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to assess randomized or non randomized studies analyzing the efficacy of surf therapy in improving symptoms of mental illness compared to non exercising controls and/or alternative intervention, and to identify evidential ga...

Operationalising flexible planning coupled with ongoing assessment strategies. ...

Embracing a tailor-made approach to training, the aim of this study was to understand how ongoing adaptation and planning of training sessions (through bidirectional feedback between planning and assessment) contrasts with a more rigid planning with only 4-weeks adaptations, and how those differences impact on learnin trajectories. A longitudinal, randomized design with a qualitative analysis was conducted duri...

Guia de Boas Práticas para a manutenção de Faixas de Gestão de Combustível

A preservação da Floresta, ao nível dos ecossistemas e dos recursos existentes, passa pela construção de uma estratégia de defesa contra os incêndios, aliada à proteção das espécies, respeitando a biodiversidade da região onde se executa a gestão de combustível, não obstante o cumprimento da legislação que define os critérios para a execução das faixas de gestão de combustível.Neste sentido, este manuel pretend...
