Learning to cycle: body composition and balance challenges in balance bikes ver...
Mercê, Cristiana; Cordovil de Matos, Rita; Mafalda Bernardino; dos Santos Bernardino, Mafalda Filipa; Branco, Marco; Catela, DavidAbstract: 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...
Estevan, Isaac; Meester, An De; Veldman, Sanne L.C.; Lopes, Frederico; Hasanen, Elina; Laukkanen, Arto; Tortella, Patrizia; Sá, CristinaCycling 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...
Outdoor STEAM Education: opportunities and challenges
Correia, Marisa; Ribeirinha, Teresa; Paz-Beirante, David; Santos, Raquel; Simões Dias, Isabel; Luís, Helena; Catela, DavidThere is a consensus that students should be involved in interdisciplinary activities that promote a solid education in STEAM subjects from an early age. The outdoor settings of schools present an advantageous context for STEAM education, allowing for a myriad of learning experiences. To understand how teachers perceive the pedagogical use of the school’s outdoor space, a study was carried out in a cluster of s...
Variability of gross and fine motor control in different tasks in fibromyalgia ...
Brígida, Nancy; Catela, David; Mercê, Cristiana; Branco, Marco A. C.Fibromyalgia (FM) is normally defined as a widespread pain syndrome or disease that presents disturbances in gross and fine motor control. As a gross motor control skill, gait requires coordination, balance, and muscle strength, and it could be an essential factor for FM patients to perform daily activities. Measuring the spatial and temporal gait parameters or gait variability has been used to assess motor pat...
Predictability and complexity of fine and gross motor skills in fibromyalgia pa...
Brígida, Nancy; Catela, David; Mercê, Cristiana; Branco, Marco A. C.Background: Fine and gross motor tasks are usually used to evaluate behavioral dysfunctions and can be applied to diseases of the central nervous system, such as fibromyalgia (FM). Non-linear measures have allowed for deeper motor control analysis, focusing on the process and on the quality of movement. Therefore, to assess uncertainty, irregularity, and structural richness of a time series, different algorithm...
Cenário de aprendizagem: STEAM outdoor │ Chãos
Branco, Neusa Cristina Vicente; Cavadas, Bento; Catela, David; Linhares, ElisabeteO ambiente outdoor é um contexto de aprendizagem com diversos benefícios para o desenvolvimento e a aprendizagem das crianças e dos jovens. A educação STEAM associada ao ambiente outdoor pode contribuir para solucionar problemas relativos a situações reais mobilizando as ciências, a tecnologia, a matemática, as artes/humanidades e o processo de engenharia de um modo inovador. Uma abordagem com estas característ...
Heart rate variability, blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation during ...
Catela, David; Santos, Júlia; Oliveira, Joana; Franco, Susana; Mercê, CristianaHeart rate variability (HRV) is the change in time intervals between heart beats, reflecting the autonomic nervous system’s ability to adapt to psychological and physiological demands. Slow breathing enhances parasympathetic activity, increasing HRV. Pranayama, a yoga breathing technique, affords the conscious regulation of respiration frequency. This study aimed to characterize HRV, blood pressure and peripher...
Development and validation of a hip hop intervention programme for pre-school c...
Bernardino, Sofia; Saramago, Neuza; Catela, David; Branco, Marco A. C.; Mercê, CristianaPhysical inactivity and obesity in children are public health problems that can be fought through the practice of rhythmic activities such as hip hop. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Crianças+ hip hop physical exercise programme, designed to promote increased physical activity and improved physical-motor skills in children aged 3 to 5 years old. The exercise programme was designed and vali...
Educação STEAM outdoor: perceções dos docentes e oportunidades de formação
Correia, Marisa; Beirante, David; Serrão-Arrais, Ana; Catela, David; Santos, Raquel; Clara Martins, Maria; Galinha, Sónia Maria Gomes AlexandreA educação STEAM (Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia, Artes/Humanidades e Matemática), aliada ao ambiente outdoor, poderá promover o desenvolvimento integral e harmonioso das crianças e jovens, uma vez que se perspetivam aprendizagens significativas e o incentivo à adoção de estilos de vida saudáveis. O presente estudo tem como principais objetivos avaliar a perceção de educadores de infância e professores do 1.º ...
