Improving Motor Competence of Children: The Super Quinas Intervention Program i...
Rodrigues, Luis P.; Cordovil, Rita; Costa, Júlio A.; Seabra, André; Guilherme, José; Vale, Susana; Luz, Carlos; Flôres, Fábio; Lagoa, Maria JoãoThe objective of this study was to describe the effects of an extra hour of a structured motor program on the motor competence (MC) of children 6–10 years old. The need for movement interventions to enhance MC among school-aged children has gained vital importance in the last years, given the negative secular trends reported. Hence, the Portuguese Football Federation organized an intervention program on MC to b...
Stemless Humeral Prosthesisin Shoulder Arthroplasty:Systematic Review
Silva, Rómulo; Almeida, Gabriela; Ferreira, Filomena; Barros, António; Gutierres, Manuel; Silva, RómuloIntroduction: Stemless shoulder prostheses were introduced as a new shoulder replacement system designed to reduce the potential risks associated with the humeral component and achieve better functional results by lowering the surgical complication rates. This systematic review aims to assess the latest available published findings regarding stemless shoulder replacement. Methods: A search in PubMed, Scopus, an...

Exploring the impact of screen-time exposure on motor competence and health-rel...
Figueira, Bruno; Gonçalves, Bruno; Silva, Rodrigo; Aleixo, Tomás; Rosa, Raul; Almeida, GabrielaChildren are spending large periods of the day engaged in screen-based activities, despite research demonstrating potential harms related to obesity, sleep, fitness, and cognitive, social, and emotional development, among others. Although there are evidence-based guidelines for physical activity, sleep patterns, and healthy screen-time levels, no studies have addressed how children’s screen-time exposure affect...
Association between motor competence, health-related fitness and body mass inde...
Almeida, Gabriela; Rosa, Raul; Silva, Rodrigo; Aleixo, Tomás; Cruz, Dulce; Batalha, NunoThe purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between Motor Competence (MC), Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF), Muscular Strength (MS) and Body Mass Index (BMI) in 4th grade school children. This cross-sectional study included 116 children enrolled in the 4th grade (62 boys; Mage 9.95yrs ± -0.33). Motor competence was assessed by a Motor Competence Assessment instrument, CRF was assessed by a 20m shut...
Promoting Transversal Skills for Enhanced Quality of Life and Inclusion in peop...
Félix, Adriana; Almeida, Gabriela; Pereira, Catarina; Pais, Sandra; Candeias, AdelindaABSTRACT This study aims to explore and analyze the existing literature on interventions promoting transversal skills (TS) to improve quality of life, well-being, and inclusion in individuals with cognitive needs. By employing advanced bibliometric techniques such as citation analysis and keyword mapping, academic publications were systematically examined across databases including the Online Knowledge Library ...
Sports participation and sex outweigh the relative age effect in motor competen...
Flôres, Fábio; Soares, Denise; Silva, Ana Filipa; Casanova, Nuno; Almeida, Gabriela; Marmeleira, José; Shabanliyski, DimitarBackground: The Relative Age Effect (RAE) refers to the advantage in physical and psychological development that children born earlier in the year often experience, which can influence their participation in sports. Aim: Analyze the influence of RAE on motor competence (MC) in school- aged children, focusing on differences across birth quartiles and types of sports participation. Methods: A cross-sectional stud...

Morais, Ana; Pereira, Filipa; Almeida, GabrielaInstitutionalized elders tend to have a higher dependency on the performance of basic and instrumental activities of daily living, as well as a higher percentage of cognitive defcit and poorer psychomotor performance. This short paper intends to analyze the impact of a psychomotor intervention in psychomotor profle and three specifc components - motor prevalence, cognitive prevalence, and physical constraints, ...
Determinants of Screen time in children aged 6-7 years: A multinomial logistic ...
Figueira, Bruno; Gonçalves, Bruno; Silva, Rodrigo; Almeida, GabrielaScreen time is an emerging determinant of health behaviours in childhood. Because screen exposure arises from intersecting individual, behavioural, and contextual influences, it benefits from multidimensional analytic approaches. Machine learning and predictive modelling can help to identify how these factors jointly affect daily screen exposure. This study aimed to identify predictors of screen time categories...
