Excess adiposity and low physical fitness hamper Supine-to-Stand test performan...
Tadiotto,Maiara C.; Duncan,Michael; Mota,Jorge; Moraes-Junior,Frederico B.; Corazza,Patricia R.P.; Czoczuk,Matheus; Menezes-Junior,Francisco J. deAbstract Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between body adiposity and physical fitness with performance in the Supine-to-Stand test (STS-test) in sedentary adolescents. Methods: Sixty-two adolescents, of both sexes, between 10 and 16 years old, participated in the study. Body mass (BM), height, waist circumference (WC), fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), right and left handgrip s...
Body composition among long distance runners
Rosado,Joana; Duarte,João P.; Sousa-e-Silva,Paulo; Costa,Daniela C.; Martinho,Diogo V.; Valente-dos-Santos,João; Rama,Luís M.; Tavares,Óscar M.SUMMARY 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 abso...
Physiological profile of adult male long-distance trail runners: variations acc...
Oliveira-Rosado,Joana; Duarte,João P.; Sousa-e-Silva,Paulo; Costa,Daniela C.; Martinho,Diogo V.; Sarmento,Hugo; Valente-dos-Santos,João; Rama,Luís M.ABSTRACT Objective To describe and identify the importance of different indicators of the aerobic and anaerobic fitness of male ultra-trail runners according to their level of participation (regional or national). Methods Forty-four male ultra-trail runners were assessed (36.5±7.2 years). They were classified as regional (n=25) and national (n=19). Wingate test was used to assess the anaerobic pathway. A progre...
Body composition, strength static and isokinetic, and bone health: comparative ...
Tavares,Óscar M.; Duarte,João P.; Werneck,André O.; Costa,Daniela C.; Sousa-e-Silva,Paulo; Martinho,Diogo; Luz,Leonardo G. O.; Morouço,PedroABSTRACT Objective: To compare tissue composition, total and regional bone mineral content and bone mineral density, static hand grip and knee joint isokinetic strength between amateur soccer players and Control Group. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Air displacement plethysmography was used to estimate body volume and, in turn, density. Body composition, bone mineral content and bone mineral density were asses...
Biocultural approach of the association between maturity and physical activity ...
Werneck,André O.; Silva,Danilo R.; Collings,Paul J.; Fernandes,Rômulo A.; Ronque,Enio R.V.; Coelho-e-Silva,Manuel J.; Sardinha,Luís B.Abstract Objective: To test the biocultural model through direct and indirect associations between biological maturation, adiposity, cardiorespiratory fitness, feelings of sadness, social relationships, and physical activity in adolescents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted with 1,152 Brazilian adolescents aged between 10 and 17 years. Somatic maturation was estimated through Mirwald's method ...
Agreement between dual x-ray absorptiometers using pencil beam and fan beam: in...
Tavares,Óscar; Duarte,João P; Costa,Daniela C.; Sousa-e-Silva,Paulo; Martinho,Diogo; Lus,Leonardo G. O.; Duarte-Mendes,Pedro; Valente-dos-Santos,JoãoSUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The current study was aimed to examine intra-individual variation on indicators of bone health in addition to whole-body plus appendicular tissue measurements using two concurrent assessments based on pencil beam and fan beam dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) systems in adult athletes from several sports. METHOD: Thirty-two male participants (27.6±10.1 years) were measured on anthropomet...
Quality of life, school backpack weight, and nonspecific low back pain in child...
Macedo,Rosangela B.; Coelho-e-Silva,Manuel J.; Sousa,Nuno F.; Valente-dos-Santos,João; Machado-Rodrigues,Aristides M.; Cumming,Sean P.OBJECTIVES: To describe the degree of disability, anthropometric variables, quality of life (QoL), and school backpack weight in boys and girls aged 11-17 years. The differences in QoL between those who did or did not report low back pain (LBP) were also analyzed. METHODS: Eighty-six girls (13.9 ± 1.9 years of age) and 63 boys (13.7 ± 1.7 years of age) participated. LBP was assessed by questionnaire, and disabi...
