Collective conceptualization of parental support of dual career athletes: The E...
Varga, Kinga; MacDonncha, Ciaran; Blondel, Laurence; Bozzano, Enrico; Burlot, Fabrice; Costa, Rute; Debois, Nadine; Delon, DominiqueThis study aimed to use a concept mapping methodology to develop a European framework of the needs of parents/guardians (P/G) for supporting athletes combining sport and education (dual career, DC). By means of a concept mapping methodology, 337 French, Irish, Italian, Portuguese, and Slovenian parents sorted and rated 80 potential statements associated to parenting DC athletes. Five distinct clusters emerged: ...
Train Like You Compete? Physical and Physiological Responses on Semi-Profession...
Castillo-Rodríguez, Alfonso; Cano-Cáceres, Francisco Javier; Figueiredo, Antonio; Fernández-García, José CarlosBackground: Decision-making in soccer has repercussions and depends on the environment of training or competition. The demands on the players can reveal if the decision-making is similar or different from that required during competition.

Measures of different levels − strategic, tactical or operational − are increasingly being implemented, so it is pertinent to analyze their effect on the distinct dimensions of sustainability: environmental, economic and social. Any strategic process must...
Thermal performance of a window shutter containing PCM: Numerical validation an...
Silva, Tiago; Vicente, Romeu; Amaral, Claudia; Figueiredo, AntonioThe present paper describes a numerical and experimental testing of a thermal energy storage system (TES) that contains phase change material (PCM). The definitions and assumptions of the developed numerical models to assess the performance and to simulate the thermal energy behavior are presented. The numerical calculation was performed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, and a real scale test...
