Mohammadi Nia Samakosh, Hadi; Oliveira, Rafael; Shahabi, Shahriar; Sarvarifar, Behrooz; Moddares Gorji, Sahar; Amirkhanloo, Amirreza; Badicu, GeorgianPatellofemoral pain (PFP) is a widespread problem in athletes who participate in jumping, cutting, and pivoting sports. Forty-four players participated in this study. They were divided into two groups: exercise plus Electro Myo Stimulation (EMS, G1) and exercise without EMS (G2), both with 12 women and 10 men. The exercise consisted of 8 weeks of a high-intensity strength program for 45-60 minutes, plus cooling...

Molaee, Faeze; Shahmir, Mohammad; Oliveira, Rafael; Mohammadi Nia Samakosh, Hadi; Hajrezaee, Behnaz; Sarvari Far, Behrooz; Paolo Ardigò, LucaThe rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that act to stabilize the human shoulder and allow for its extensive range of motion. This study aimed to compare the immediate effect and durability of mobilization and oscillation dumbbell (OD) training on the Joint Position Sense (JPS) and strength of rotator cuff muscles in young tennis players. Twenty-six tennis players were divided into two experimental g...

Leão, César; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Silva, Bruno; Pereira, Joel; Badicu, Georgian; Camões, Miguel; Cancela, José MariaThe aim of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of a novel tool to assess skinfolds and to compare the muscle mass measured through dual-x-ray-absorptiometry (DXA) and estimated using the Lee equation from the values of the skinfolds and girths in a healthy young adult population. Methods: The present study followed a cross-sectional design, including 38 participants, with 27 males (22.04 ± 5.2...

Yagin, Fatma Hilal; Hasan, Uday CH; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Eken, Ozgur; Badicu, Georgian; Gulu, MehmetThis study aimed to predict professional soccer players’ positions with machine learning according to certain locomotor demands. Data from 20 male professional soccer players (five defenders, eight midfielders, and seven attackers) from the same team were tracked daily with a global navigation satellite system. A total of 1910 individual training sessions were recorded. The 10-fold cross-validation method was u...

Nobari, Hadi; Gholizadeh, Roghayyeh; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Badicu, Georgian; Oliveira, Rafael: The purpose of this study was two-fold: (a) to describe and analyse the relationship of the in-season variations of external and internal intensity metrics as well as well-being measures across different periods of a semi-professional soccer season (early-, mid- and end-season); and (b) to describe training monotony (TM) and training strain (TS) for 20 weeks in a semi-professional soccer season. Eighteen semi...

Guo, Wenxia; Liang, Meifu; Lin, Junlei; Zhou, Ruihang; Zhao, Ningning; Aidar, Felipe J.; Oliveira, Rafael; Badicu, Georgian(1) Purpose: This study aimed to explore the time duration of post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) in elite male sprinters with different strength levels. (2) Methods: Thirteen elite male sprinters were divided into a strong group (relative strength: 1RM squat normalized by body mass of ≥ 2.5; n = 6) and a weak group (relative strength of < 2.5; n =7). All sprinters performed one static squat jump (SS...
