Cross-cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Borg Rating of Perc...
Flôres, Fábio; Casanova, Nuno; Marconcin, Priscila; Silva, Ana Filipa; Serpa, Joana; Santos, Vanessa; Soares, Denise; Willig, RenataIntroduction: The present investigation carried out a cross-cultural adaptation of the category-ratio Borg Scale (Borg CR - 10 scale) into Portuguese. It assessed its content validity and reliability during adolescents' progressive aerobic capacity test in school. Methods: In the first phase, a cross-cultural adaptation and content validity analysis of the Borg CR-10 scale were performed, followed by a pilot st...
Sports participation and sex outweigh the relative age effect in motor competen...
Flôres, Fábio; Soares, Denise; Silva, Ana Filipa; Casanova, Nuno; Almeida, Gabriela; Marmeleira, José; Shabanliyski, DimitarBackground: The Relative Age Effect (RAE) refers to the advantage in physical and psychological development that children born earlier in the year often experience, which can influence their participation in sports. Aim: Analyze the influence of RAE on motor competence (MC) in school- aged children, focusing on differences across birth quartiles and types of sports participation. Methods: A cross-sectional stud...
Effects of lower limb power, aerobic capacity and hand grip strength on the tec...
Honório, Samuel; Santos, Jorge; Serrano, João; Rebelo, Miguel; Semião, Pedro; Vitorino, Diogo; Groflin, Yannick; Fernandes, Helder Miguel; Vaz, LuísIntroduction: Tennis is a sport with no time limit. This can result in matches lasting less than an hour or up to five hours. This variability requires that high-competition tennis athletes be trained both at an anaerobic level for better performance, and at an aerobic level, to help with recovery between points, during the game. Methods: This cross-sectional study intended to analyse how lower limb power, aero...

Makar, Piotr; Silva, Ana Filipa; Silva, Rui Miguel; Janusiak, Marcin; Smoter, Malgorzata; Clemente, Filipe ManuelThis study aimed to compare the agreement of ball speed in throwing and kicking between the Bushnell and the Stalker radar guns. Sixty-four healthy young adults (21.8 ± 3.5 years) performed a total of 320 throws and 320 kicks during the study. Ball speed was measured using both the Bushnell and the Stalker radar guns for each trial. The mean difference in throwing speeds was found to be 1.39 km/h (95% CI: 1.20;...
What we do not know about stretching in healthy athletes: a scoping review with...
Afonso, José; Andrade, Renato; Rocha-Rodrigues, Sílvia; Nakamura, Fábio Yuzo; Sarmento, Hugo; Freitas, Sandro R.; Silva, Ana Filipa; Laporta, LorenzoBackground: Stretching has garnered significant attention in sports sciences, resulting in numerous studies. However, there is no comprehensive overview on investigation of stretching in healthy athletes. Objectives: To perform a systematic scoping review with an evidence gap map of stretching studies in healthy athletes, identify current gaps in the literature, and provide stakeholders with priorities for futu...

González-Fernández, Francisco Tomás; Silva, Ana Filipa; Castillo Rodriguez, Alfonso; Onetti-Onetti, Wanesa; Clemente, Filipe ManuelThe aim of this study was to explore the variations (pre-post) of (i) Anthropometric measures: weight, body mass index, lean and muscle mass, (ii) Physical fitness: countermovement jump (CMJ) and VO2 max, (iii) heart rate variability (HRV) (recumbent and sitting): mean RR, RMSSD, NN50 and NN50 %, (iv) Psychomotor Vigilance Task, and v) SART: ACC Go, ACC NoGo and reaction times in semi-professional women soccer ...
The effects of post-warm-up active and passive rest periods on a vigilance task...
Silva, Rui Miguel; González-Fernández, Francisco; Rusillo-Magdaleno, Alba; Pires, Dinis; Ferreira, Filipe; Silva, Ana Filipa; Loureiro, VâniaThis study aimed to analyze how active versus passive rest periods after a warm-up influence performance in psychomotor vigilance tasks (PVT). Twenty amateur karate athletes participated in a randomized cross-over study consisting of two sessions with either a 20 min active rest involving kata techniques or passive rest. PVT was administered before and after these conditions to assess the changes in reaction ti...
Fully protected marine areas linked to reduced home ranges of fishes
Ohayon, Sarah; Abecasis, David; Almeida, Pedro R.; Alós, Josep; Aspillaga, Eneko; Belo, Ana Filipa; Costa, José Lino; Di Franco, AntonioHome range size is a fundamental trait that can affect the probability of fish being harvested and, at the same time, may be affected by fishing. The relationship between home range size and fishing will impact the effectiveness of fully protected areas (FPAs), as it will influence the number of fish moving into fished areas, affecting both spillover and edge effects. One hypothesis is that individuals within F...
