Skinfolds compressibility and digital caliper’s time response in skinfold measu...
Vaquero-Cristóbal, Raquel; Moreira, Ana Catarina; Esparza-Ros, Francisco; Barrigas, Carlos; Albaladejo-Saura, Mario; Vieira, FilomenaBackground: The skinfold caliper reading of the skinfold thickness depends on its dynamic compressibility. This has led to the fact that, while it is indicated that skinfold readings should be taken when the reading is stable, there is no consensus on at what second the reading should be taken after the application of the skinfold caliper. The new Lipowise PRO digital skinfold caliper was used to analyze the ev...

Esparza-Ros, Francisco; Moreira, Ana Catarina; Vaquero-Cristóbal, Raquel; Barrigas, Carlos; Albaladejo-Saura, Mario; Vieira, FilomenaBackground: The aim of this study was to analyze the validity of four different skinfold calipers, as well as to establish the differences between them in a healthy young adult population. Methods: The present study followed a cross-sectional design, including 138 participants, with 69 males (21.46 ± 2.52 years) and 69 females (22.19 ± 2.85 years). The measurement protocol included basic measurements of body ma...
Maturidade, desempenho académico, capacidade de raciocínio e estatuto sócioecon...
Barrigas, Carlos; Fragoso, IsabelO presente artigo pretende avaliar a associação entre a maturidade, o desempenho académico (DA), a capacidade de raciocínio (CR) e o estatuto sócio-económico (ESE), numa amostra de 792 crianças (394 rapazes e 398 raparigas), com idades entre os 6 e os 13 anos. A maturidade foi calculada com recurso à idade óssea (Tanner et al., 2001) e o DA foi obtido através de inquérito aos professores, resultados em testes d...
