Exploring Gut Microbiota and the Influence of Physical Activity Interventions o...
Morgado, Micaela C.; Sousa, Mónica; Coelho, André B.; Costa, Júlio A.; Seabra, AndréThe recognition that the gut microbiota of obese children differs from lean children has grown, and some studies suggest that physical activity positively influences the gut microbiota. This systematic review explores the changes in the gut microbiota composition of obese and non-obese children and adolescents and provides an understanding of the effects of physical activity interventions in modulating their mi...
Effects of Physical Activity and Nutrition Education on the Gut Microbiota in O...
Morgado, Micaela C.; Sousa, Mónica; Marques, Cláudia; Coelho, André B.; Costa, Júlio A.; Seabra, AndréChildhood obesity continues to represent a growing challenge, and it has been associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis. This study examines the gut microbiota composition in overweight and obese school children and assesses whether a 12-week multidisciplinary intervention can induce changes in the gut microbiota. The intervention, which combined recreational football and nutritional education, was implemented a...
Prediction of Simulated 1,000 m Kayak Ergometer Performance in Young Athletes
Coelho, André B.; Nakamura, Fábio Y.; Morgado, Micaela C.; Alves, Francisco; Di Baldassarre, Angela; Flatt, Andrew; Rama, LuísThis study aimed to develop a predictive explanatory model for the 1,000-m time-trial (TT) performance in young national-level kayakers, from biomechanical and physiological parameters assessed in a maximal graded exercise test (GXT). Twelve young male flat-water kayakers (age 16.1 ± 1.1 years) participated in the study. The design consisted of 2 exercise protocols, separated by 48 h, on a kayak ergometer. The ...
Heart Rate Variability and Stress Recovery Responses during a Training Camp in ...
Coelho, André B.; Nakamura, Fábio Y.; Morgado, Micaela C.; Holmes, Clifton J.; Baldassarre, Angela; Esco, Michael R.; Rama, Luis M.Training camps are typical in elite Canoeing preparation, during which, the care to assure adaptation to avoid undesired fatigue is not always present. This study aimed identifying a specific sex response in perceived training loads, recovery and stress balance, and cardiac autonomic responses. Twenty-one elite athletes (11 males and 10 females) of the Portuguese Canoeing National team participated in the inves...
