Effects of On-Court Tennis Training Combined with HIIT versus RST on Aerobic Ca...
Morais, J.E.; Kilit, Bulent; Arslan, Ersan; Bragada, José A.; Soylu, Yusuf; Marinho, D.A.The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of on-court tennis training (OTT) combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or repeated sprint training (RST) on the physiological, kinematic, kinetic, and perceptual responses of young tennis players. Twenty-four male tennis players (age 13.6 ± 0.3 years) were randomly assigned to either the OTT + HIIT group (n = 12) or the OTT + RST group (n = 1...
Comparative analysis of physical fitness and body composition in first-year bac...
Morais, J.E.; Larrière, Onésie; Bragada, José A.; Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Magalhães, Pedro; Schnegg, Antoine; Houndekon, Martial; Garnier, Yoann M.Physical fitness and body composition are foundational to the training and academic success of sports sciences students. However, baseline physical profiles may vary across institutions and countries, reflecting differences in cultural, educational, and physical activity environments. This study aimed to compare physical fitness levels and anthropometric characteristics of first-year sports sciences students fr...

Effects of a 16-week training program with a pyramidal intensity distribution o...
Magalhães, Pedro; Cipriano, Flávio; Morais, J.E.; Bragada, José A.Different training intensity distributions (TIDs) have been proposed to improve cycling performance, especially for high-competition athletes. The objectives of this study were to analyze the effect of a 16-week pyramidal training intensity distribution on somatic and power variables in recreational cyclists and to explore the training zone with the greatest impact on performance improvement. The sample consist...
Net Heart Rate for Estimating Oxygen Consumption in Active Adults
Bragada, José A.; Magalhães, Pedro; São-Pedro, Eric; Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Morais, J.E.The aim of this study was to verify the accuracy of predicting oxygen consumption (O-2) in predominantly aerobic activities based on net heart rate (netHR), sex, and body mass index (BMI) in active adults. NetHR is the value of the difference between the resting HR (HRrest) and the average HR value obtained during a given session or period of physical activity. These activities must be continuous, submaximal, a...
Bibliometric Review of the Step Test: A Comprehensive Analysis of Research Tren...
Sampaio, Tatiana; Marinho, D.A.; Bragada, José A.; Morais, J.E.The step test provides valuable information on cardiorespiratory parameters such as maximal oxygen uptake and heart rate. Cardiorespiratory capacity is critical to health-related fitness, with heart rate recovery after exercise serving as a predictor of mortality risk. Main Body: The primary objective of this review was to identify trends, key contributors, and emerging themes in the step test literature throug...
Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Risk in a Higher Education Community of North-Eas...
Duarte, Carlos Manuel Teixeira; Magalhães, Pedro; Saldanha, Laissa de Sousa; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Bragada, José A.Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is considered one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. The aim of this study was to analyse the risk of developing T2D in a higher education community of Bragança, North-Eastern Portugal. The observational, cross-sectional and prospective sample comprised 3021 individuals, aged between 18 and 64 years old, of whom 1759 were women (mean age 24.16 ± 8.80 years) and 1263 were men (mean a...
StepTest4all: improving the prediction of cardiovascular capacity assessment in...
Sampaio, Tatiana; Morais, J.E.; Bragada, José A.Cardiovascular capacity, expressed as maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), is a strong predictor of health and fitness and is considered a key measure of physiological function in the healthy adult population. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the physical activity levels (PAlevel) of participants in the StepTest4all (validated protocol for the estimation of VO2max in adults). The sample cons...
The Accuracy and Reliability of the Power Measurements of the TACX Neo 2T Smart...
Morais, J.E.; Bragada, José A.; Magalhães, Pedro; Marinho, D.A.The power output in cycling is one of the most important factors for athletes and coaches. The cycling community has several commercial gears that can be used. One of the most used is the TACX Neo 2T (TN2T) smart trainer. The objective of this study was to investigate the metrological proprieties of the TN2T (accuracy and reliability), as well as its agreement with the Garmin Vector 3 (GV3) pedals at different ...
Physical activity, strength training and nutritional support in patients with m...
Bragada, José A.; Teixeira, J.A.; Bragada, João P.; Duarte, Carlos Manuel Teixeira; Pontes, João H.; Saldanha, Laissa de Sousa; Magalhães, PedroThe prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has been increasing exponentially in the Portuguese population. Primary prevention using physical activity (PA), exercise and healthy lifestyles seems to be limited. Thus, current study aims to present the design and preliminary findings of a pilot community intervention for patients with MetS. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted between April and Jul...
