Effects of exercise prehabilitation on functional capacity and health-related q...
Garcia, Catarina; Leão, Inês; Pinto, Diogo; Dias Rato, Nuno; Campolargo, Ana; Dias, Isabel; Monteiro, Ana Raquel; Monteiro Soares, AdrianaHead and neck cancer (HNC) patients submitted to radical chemoradiotherapy (CRT) have to deal with various physical and psychosocial problems related to cancer and its treatment, which negatively affect functional capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Thus, the aim of this work was to analyse the impact of an exercise prehabilitation (EP) program on the functional capacity and HRQoL in HNC patien...
A model-driven approach to enhance data visualization through domain knowledge ...
Almeida, Andreia; Alves, Alberto; Santos, Maribel Yasmina; León, Ana; Pires, João MouraBig Data is challenging analytical contexts, namely when aligning data and analytical requirements. While the capacity to collect and store new data is expanding rapidly, the pace at which it can be analyzed is developing more slowly. Defining these analytical requirements and selecting the most appropriate visualizations often depends on an in-depth understanding of what users need from the data. To address th...

Impact of a COmprehensive cardiac REhabilitation framework among high cardiovas...
Viamonte, Sofia Gonçalves; Joaquim, Ana Vieira; Alves, Alberto; Vilela, Eduardo; Capela, Andreia; Ferreira, Cristina; Duarte, Barbara; Rato, Nuno DiasBackground: Cancer survivors are challenging patients, as they often present increased cardiovascular risk. In this background, cardio-oncology rehabilitation frameworks for specific cancer patients have been proposed. How- ever, optimal program designs, as well as their overall safety and efficacy in different subsets of patients, are not fully ascertained. Design: Single-center, pragmatic, prospective, random...
Effects of a physical exercise program on quality of life and physical fitness ...
Joaquim, Ana; Amarelo, Anabela; Antunes, Pedro; Garcia, Catarina; Leão, Inês; Vilela, Eduardo; Teixeira, Madalena; Duarte, Bárbara; Vieira, MicaelTo assess the effects of a group class physical exercise program on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), physical fitness and activity, and safety in early breast cancer women after treatment, a double phase trial [16-week control phase (CP) followed by a 16-week intervention phase (IP)] was designed. Outcomes were evaluated at baseline (T1), 8 (T2) and 16 (T3) weeks (CP), and 24 (T4) and 32 (T5) weeks (IP)....

Given its economic and health-related impact, it is a major medical and societal concern. Patients with resistant hypertension have a higher risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, chroni...

Antunes, Pedro Miguel da Silva; Esteves, Dulce; Nunes, Célia; Amarelo, Anabela; Moutinho, José Fonseca; Afreixo, Vera; Costa, Henrique; Alves, AlbertoCardiotoxicity is a known complication and one of the most adverse effects from the use of conventional treatments such as anthracyclines and trastuzumab in breast cancer (BC) care. This phenomenon has been associated with the restriction of therapeutic options and the increase of cardiovascular complications, which may compromise the survival of patients. Implementation of preventive strategies is an important...

Effects of different re-warm up activities in football players' performance
Abade, Eduardo; Sampaio, Jaime; Gonçalves, Bruno; Baptista, Jorge; Alves, Alberto; Viana, JoãoWarm up routines are commonly used to optimize football performance and prevent injuries. Yet, official pre-match protocols may require players to passively rest for approximately 10 to 15 minutes between the warm up and the beginning of the match. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the effect of different re-warm up activities on the physical performance of football players. Twenty-Two Portuguese ...
