Body composition among long distance runners
Rosado, Joana; Duarte, João P.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Costa, Daniela C.; Martinho, Diogo V.; Santos, João Valente dos; Rama, Luis M.; Tavares, Óscar M.OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to examine the body composition of adult male ultra-trail runners (UTR) according to their level of participation (regional UTR-R, vs. national UTR-N). METHODS: The sample was composed of 44 adult male UTR (aged 36.5±7.2 years; UTR-R: n=25; UTR-N: n=19). Body composition was assessed by air displacement plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiom...
Biodiversidade aquática e qualidade de rios em eucaliptais certificados no cent...
Oliveira, João Manuel; Paulino, João Carlos; Segurado, Pedro; Rosado, Joana; Rivaes, Rui Pedro; Fernandes, Fátima; Serafim, Pedro; Ferreira, TeresaEm Portugal, mais de 150.000 ha de plantações de eucalipto (Eucalyptus globulus) são já geridas em conformidade com os sistemas internacionais de certificação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de avaliar a biodiversidade e a qualidade ecológica de pequenos rios associados a este tipo de povoamentos, usando diversas comunidades aquáticas – peixes, anfíbios e macroinvertebrados – bem como um índice de condição mor...

Duarte, João P.; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Couto, Pedro; Costa, Daniela; Martinho, Diogo V.; Seabra, AndréThe current study aimed to examine the reliability of the conventional and functional ratios derived from peak torques (PTs) and those obtained from the combination of knee flexors torque at the angle of knee extensors PT. Twenty-six male athletes (mean of 24.0±0.7 years) from different sports completed a test-to-test variation in isokinetic strength (Biodex, System 3) within a period of one week. Anthropometry...

Novais, Maria Helena; Morais, Maria Manuela; Nunes, Susana; Rosado, Joana; Penha, Alexandra; Zavattieri, Amely; Potes, Miguel; Salgado, RuiThe ALqueva hydro-meteorological EXperiment (ALEX) field campaign took place monthly during summer 2014 and consisted in in situ measurements and sampling of water and biological elements, collected from three fixed platforms placed in the lacustrine zone. This integrated overview, including meteorological, environmental and biological results contributes to improve the knowledge of the reservoir dynamics and t...
Non perennial Mediterranean Rivers in Europe: Status, pressurs, and challanges ...
Skoulikidis, Nikolaos; Sabater, Sergi; Datry, Thibault; Morais, Manuela; Buffagni, Andrea; Dorflinger, Gerald; Zogaris, StamatisNon-perennial rivers and streams (NPRS) cover >50% of the global river network. They are particularly predominant in Mediterranean Europe as a result of dry climate conditions, climate change and land use development. Historically, both scientists and policy makers underestimated the importance of NRPS for nature and humans alike, mainly because they have been considered as systems of low ecological and economi...

Biotite (Black Mica) as an Adsorbent of Pesticides in Aqueous Solution
Ceolin, Leonardo Paulino Werneck; Aguiar Junior, Terencio Rebello; Morais, Maria Manuela; Rosado, Joana; Veloso, Ana Denise; Paulino, Berenice FerreiraChemical contamination of water resources on the planet generates a range of environmental disturbances which impair ecosystems. Humans ingest such chemicals often present in water. Conventional treatments fail to remove these contaminants from water, requiring complementary methods such as activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis, or distillation, which are expensive and seldom used in the public water supply...
