Machine learning classification of consumption habits of creatine supplements i...
Magalhães, Patrícia C.; Encarnação, Samuel; Miguel Forte, Pedro; de Araújo Teixeria, José Eduardo; Monteiro, A. M.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Pereira, Ana M.The aim is to identify usage patterns and the main factors that influence creatine supplementation, providing a basis for future educational interventions and recommendations for safe and effective use. The study was applied to gym goers in Bragança, where a QR code for a survey was released. 158 people participated, 65 non-consumers of creatine supplementation (37.34% men; 22.78% women) and 95 consumers (15.19...

Observational Analysis in Basketball: A literature review
Branquinho, Luís; Marques, Mário C.; Paiva, Eduardo; Reis, Tiago; Sousa, Ana Maria; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Ruzmetov, Nemat; Matos, Sérgio; Arede, JorgeTechnological instruments and methods for monitoring, observation, and analysis have become increasingly important for gaining insights into basketball performance. Thus, this literature review aimed to compile information about methods and instruments for observational analysis in Basketball. Previous studies have applied several valid methods for physiological, technical, and tactical analysis in Basketball, ...
No me muevo, no puedo dormir-me caigo: una revisión y metanálisis del ejercicio...
Forte, Pedro; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, António M.; Pecos-Martín, DanielThis systematic review and meta-analysis aim assess the impact estimation of physical exercise on sleep quality and balance in older adults. A rigorous literature search adhering to PRISMA guidelines was conducted across Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases, yielding a total of 3885 articles. Following stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 articles were selected for analysis, with 4 ultimately ...
The Associations Between the Swimming Speed, Anthropometrics, Kinematics, and K...
Pinto, Mafalda P.; Neiva, Henrique P.; Sampaio, Tatiana; Oliveira, João P.; Marinho, D.A.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Morais, J. E.There is scarce information about what characterizes the swimming speed in the butterfly stroke and the role of thrust in its characterization and prediction. The aim of this study was to compare the fastest and poorest butterfly swimmers based on a set of anthropometric, kinematic, and kinetic variables and to identify the swimming speed predictors. Eight young male swimmers were divided into two equal groups ...
Effectiveness of a multicomponent physical exercise program against older adult...
Encarnação, Samuel; Alves, João Ribeiro; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Forte, Pedro; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Monteiro, António M.This study assessed the effectiveness of a multicomponent exercise training against old adults' physical fragility and obesity risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. An experimental, controlled, and longitudinal study was performed in October 2021 (during the pandemic) and after the intervention in March 2023 (during the pandemic), totalizing 16-month intervention. A total of 53 elderly (37 older women and 16 older...
Predicting Sleep Quality Based on Metabolic, Body Composition, and Physical Fit...
Forte, Pedro; Encarnação, Samuel; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Branquinho, Luís; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, António M.; Pecos-Martín, DanielSleep plays a crucial role in the health of older adults, and its quality is influenced by multiple physiological and functional factors. However, the relationship between sleep quality and physical fitness, body composition, and metabolic markers remains unclear. This exploratory study aimed to investigate the associations between sleep quality and physical, metabolic, and body composition variables in older a...
Swimming speed comparison between two distinct arm pulls during the butterfly s...
Morais, J. E.; Marinho, D.A.; Neiva, Henrique P.; Moriyama, Shin-Ichiro; Barbosa, Tiago M.The aim of this study was to compare the butterfly swimming speed during the insweep phase of two distinct arm pull patterns. Ten national-level swimmers (5 males with 17.5 ±0.8-years and 5 females with 16.8±0.9-years) were analyzed while performing butterfly all-out trials based on two distinct arm-pull patterns (“bent” and “straight”). The “bent” armpull refers to the stroke kinematics they use to swim. The “...
Multicomponent Exercise and Functional Fitness: Strategies for Fall Prevention ...
Schneider, André; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, António M.Aging is associated with physiological changes that increase the risk of falls, impacting functional independence and quality of life. Multicomponent exercise training has emerged as an effective strategy for mitigating these risks by enhancing strength, balance, flexibility, and aerobic capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 30-week multicomponent training program on functional fitness and fal...
Mapping football tactical behavior and collective dynamics with artificial inte...
Teixeira, José Eduardo; Maio, Eduardo; Afonso, Pedro; Encarnação, Samuel; Machado, Guilherme; Morgans, Ryland; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, António M.Football, as a dynamic and complex sport, demands an understanding of tactical behaviors to excel in training and competition. Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolutionized the tactical performance analysis in football, offering unprecedented data analytics insights for players, coaches, and analysts. This systematic review aims to examine and map out the current state of research on AI-based tactical behavior...
