Physical literacy assessment is considered a vital resource to decrease the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity in children and adolescents worldwide. In Portugal, there is no physical literacy assessment tool for children under 15 years old. The main objective of this study was to carry out a translation and cultural adaptation of the Canadian Physical Literacy Assessment 2 (CAPL-2) into...
This study examined the effects of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Supta on Center of Pressure (CoP) displacement in healthy student pilots, using the Biosignals Plux force platform, under the premise that yoga would lead to improvements in pos- tural control responses. CoP response was analyzed by the Plux (Portugal) one-dimensional force platform. A total of 18 military pilots participated in this study. The pilots wer...

Patients who cannot fully comply with conventional clinic-based rehabilitation (CR) sessions after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) may find additional internet- based sessions beneficial. These remote sessions include therapeutic exercises that can be done at home, potentially extending the reach of rehabilitation services to underserved areas, prolonging the duration of care and providing improved supervision. The s...
Padel, an increasingly popular sport, presents some associated cardiovascular risks, which can be prevented by heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring. However, there is no study worldwide that characterizes HRV during padel games. Therefore, this study aims to monitor HRV responses and characterize them using linear and non-linear metrics at three timepoints: at baseline, during a game, and during recovery. Tw...

Background: Supervised remote sessions consisting of therapeutic exercises delivered via the internet can be an excellent supplement for patients who are unable to respect conventional outpatient rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by increasing exposure and extending the duration of recovery practises. It can also assist in improving accessibility and collaboration between health pro...
Background: After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, patients who are unable to remain completely compliant with conventional outpatient rehabilitation may benefit from remote sessions consisting of therapeutic exercises delivered via the internet. These sessions may increase accessibility in traditionally isolated and underserved regions, extend the duration of care, enhance surveillance and supervisio...
Background: Many individuals who undergo knee surgery recover without complications; however, some may experience postoperative pain and be unable to resume their normal daily activities. Prospective observational studies on knee postoperative pain can be useful for identifying patients at risk, recognising predictive factors, and determining the most effective management strategies. Objectives: The main purpos...
