A Novel Approach to Training Monotony and Acute-Chronic Workload Index: A Compa...
Afonso, José; Nakamura, Fábio Yuzo; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Peixoto, Rafael; Fernandes, Cátia Sofia; Mota, Tomás; Ferreira, Miguel; Silva, RafaelaLoad 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...
Are microcycles with different training session numbers providing sufficient lo...
Oliveira, Rafael; Canário-Lemos , Rui; Morgans, Ryland; Peixoto, Rafael; Vilaça-Alves, José; Paulo Brito, JoãoProfessional soccer involves varying numbers of training sessions and matches each week, which can influence load distribution. Understanding the exact distribution may allow appropriate load periodisation and planning for players. Thus, this study aimed to (i) compare accumulated load and wellness between weeks with different numbers of training sessions and (ii) compare the training/match ratio (TMr) of exter...

Brito, João Paulo; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Peixoto, Rafael; Vilaça-Alves, José; Morgans, Ryland; Oliveira, RafaelThis study aimed to (i) analyse the within-microcycle variations in professional soccer players and (ii) analyse the relationships between wellness and training and match load demands during the following day (MD+1) and the day before match-play (MD-1). Thirteen professional soccer players (24.85±3.13 years) were monitored daily over 16 weeks for wellness, training and match-play intensity. The daily wellness m...
Post-Activation Potentiation Enhancement of Countermovement Jump Performance us...
Peixoto, Rafael; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Moreira, Tiago; Vilela, Guilherme; Chaves, Gabriela Lucas; Aidar, Felipe José; Casanova, Filipe; Monteiro, GabrielaPost-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) refers to the temporary improvement in physical abilities resulting from a previous conditioning activity (CA), and velocity-based resistance training has been proposed to optimise PAPE. The present study aimed to evaluate the optimal rest interval to induce PAPE in the countermovement jump using heavy parallel squats monitored by the velocity loss (VL) threshold. ...
Drop set versus traditional strength training protocols equated in volume on mu...
Vilaça-Alves, José; Brito, João; Machado, Beatriz; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Moreira, Tiago; Matos, Filipe; Peixoto, Rafael; Monteiro, Gabriéla; Garrido, NunoPurpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two strength training protocols, equated in volume, on the elbow flexor muscle thickness (MT) in women. Methods Twenty-seven women (mean±sd, age 21.89±2.85 years; stature,167.82±5.90 cm; body mass 63.01±7.20 kg; estimate of body fat mass, 19.19±2.88%) were divided in three experimental groups: a drop-set (DS), a traditional (TR), and a control grou...
The influence of range of motion on the functional and structural capacity of t...
Ferreira, Luís M.; Ferreira, Luís; Ribeiro, Joana; Branquinho, Luís; Peixoto, Rafael; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Forte, PedroRange of motion in exercises is one of the foundations for greater activation of a muscle group. The objective of this investigation was to compare the structural and functional capacity of the triceps brachii between three groups with different angles (90°, 110°, and 130°) in a unilateral elbow extension exercise. The sample consisted of 25 subjects with a mean age of 24.12 ± 3.83 years, mean height of 1.78 ± ...

Oliveira, Rafael Franco Soares; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Peixoto, Rafael; Vilaça-Alves, José; Morgans, Ryland; Brito, JoãoThe aims of this study were to: (i) analyse the within-microcycle variations in professional soccer players; (ii) analyse the relationships between wellness and training and match load demands; (iii) analyse the relationships between match-day (MD) demands and wellness during the following day (MD+1); and (iv) analyse the relationships between MD and wellness during the day before match-play (MD-1). Thirteen pr...

Validity and reliability of maximum oxygen uptake on an Air Bike arm- and leg-e...
Canário-Lemos, Rui; Machado-Reis, Víctor; Garrido, Nuno Domingos; Rafael-Moreira, Tiago; Peixoto, Rafael; Nobre-Pinheiro, Bruno; Vilaça-Alves, JoséAir Bike ergometers have recently appeared and become popular among fitness. These ergometers combine the use of upper or lower limbs while remaining seated. Its characteristic is that of a system of external load imposed through air resistance which increases with the cadence imposed on the equipment. The present study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the ramp test and standard leg-cycle ergometer to asses...
Adaptive Learning Process for the Evolution of Ontology-Described Classificatio...
Peixoto, Rafael; Cruz, Christophe; Silva, NunoOne of the biggest challenges in Big Data is to exploit value from large volumes of variable and changing data. For this, one must focus on analyzing the data in these Big Data sources and classify the data items according to a domain model (e.g. an ontology). To automatically classify unstructured text documents according to an ontology, a hierarchical multi-label classification process called Semantic HMC was...
