Move4Future: implementation and effects of a pilot physical exercise programme ...

Introduction and Objective: Multi-problem families include several risk factors (e.g., mental health and weight issues). Physical exercise could be a strategy to prevent, treat and overcome numerous disorders. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the effects of implementing the Move4Future pilot program, in children and adolescents, on the following variables: i) anxiety levels, ii) body composition, iii) physical...

Learning to cycle: body composition and balance challenges in balance bikes ver...

Abstract: Background/Objectives: Empowering our children and youth to cycle empowers them to pursue a healthier, fuller, and more responsible life. The present study implemented the Learning to Cycle program with the following aims: (i) to promote learning to cycle; (ii) to investigate and compare the use of different learning bicycles, i.e., balance bicycle (BB) and bicycle with training wheels (BTW); (iii) to...

How learning to cycle influences lifestyle: an eight country pooled analysis an...

Cycling plays a key role in the promotion of individual, community, and planetary health. However, no previous study has explored the interplay between the process of learning to cycle and cycling habits, adopting a person-centered approach. To understand which variables promote the learning process (i.e., acquisition) and lifelong bicycle use on a daily and recreational basis (i.e., engagement), the aim of thi...

Electromyographic analysis of deadlift for construction workers

Working in construction is physically demanding. The tasks inherent to this professional occupation physically wear workers down, leaving them at a high risk of injury, mainly in the shoulder and knee joints and the lumbar region (Chung et al., 2019; Umer et al., 2018). Those tasks require a great balance capacity and strength of the postural muscles, with the Construction Workers (CW) supporting heavy equipmen...

Análise da Coordenação Motora da Marcha em Pacientes com Artroplastia do Joelho...

A avaliação da marcha é um fator crucial na medição dos resultados pós-operatório da Artroplastia Total do Joelho. A Artroplastia Total do Joelho (ATJ) é uma opção cirúrgica destinada a pacientes com estágios avançados de degeneração articular no joelho. Esta cirurgia envolve a substituição completa da articulação por uma prótese, o que ajuda a restaurar o movimento e a qualidade de vida do paciente. Atualmente...

Forças de Reação do Apoio na Marcha em idoso com Artroplastia do Joelho Estudo ...

A avaliação da marcha é um fator crucial na medição dos resultados pós-operatório da Artroplastia Total do Joelho (ATJ). Esta opção cirúrgica destina-se a pacientes com estágios avançados de degeneração articular no joelho, envolvendo a substituição completa da articulação por uma prótese de forma a restaurar o movimento e a qualidade de vida do paciente. Em Portugal, entre o ano de 2021 e 2023 foram realizadas...

Accuracy and Interpretation of the Acceleration from an Inertial Measurement Un...

In this study, we aimed to assess sprinting using a developed instrument encompassing an inertial measurement unit (IMU) in order to analyze athlete performance during the sprint, as well as to determine the number of steps, ground contact time, flight time, and step time using a high-speed camera as a reference. Furthermore, we correlated the acceleration components (XYZ) and acceleration ratio with the perfor...

Learning to cycle: a constraint-led intervention programme using different cycl...

BackgroundCycling is a foundational movement skill which represents an important motor milestone to achieve in children's lives. The use of a bicycle with training wheels is the most common approach for learning how to cycle, although some evidence suggests that this approach is counterproductive.PurposeUnderpinned by an ecological dynamics and Constraints-led approach, this study investigated whether learning ...
