Acute effects of dynamic stretching on knee joint position sense and dynamic ba...

Simões, Edgar; Tavares, Nuno; Saraiva, Marina

Objectives: Proprioception and dynamic balance are crucial elements of neuromuscular control during running, supporting movement precision and postural adjustments. Dynamic stretching is commonly used in warm-ups to enhance muscle activation and sensorimotor readiness, but its acute effects on proprioception and balance remain unclear. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Participants: Sixty-two healthy recreat...

Postural Control and Muscle Activity during Dual-Task in Young Adults

Saraiva, Marina; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Castro, Maria António

In everyday life, we recurrently perform two tasks simultaneously, which is called dual-tasking. A common dual task is smartphone use while standing or walking. According to previous studies, this task can compromise postural stability. However, few studies have analyzed lower limb muscle activity during dual-tasking using smartphones. This study aimed to assess the postural sway and muscle activity during dual...

Muscular and Prefrontal Cortex Activity during Dual-Task Performing in Young Ad...

Saraiva, Marina; Castro, Maria António; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo

Postural control depends on attentional resources besides automatic processes. The dual-task paradigm is a possible approach to analyzing the interference and performance between motor and/or cognitive tasks. Various studies showed that, when individuals simultaneously perform two tasks, the postural stability can decline during a dual-task compared with a single-task due to the attentional resources required p...


Effects of Motor Task Difficulty on Postural Control Complexity during Dual Tas...

Saraiva, Marina; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Fernandes, Orlando J.; Castro, Maria António

Few studies have evaluated the effect of a secondary motor task on the standing posture based on nonlinear analysis. However, it is helpful to extract information related to the complexity, stability, and adaptability to the environment of the human postural system. This study aimed to analyze the effect of two motor tasks with different difficulty levels in motor performance complexity on the static standing p...

Standing Posture in Motor and Cognitive Dual-Tasks during Smartphone Use: Linea...

Saraiva, Marina; Fernandes, Orlando; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Castro, Maria António

Analysis of the center of pressure (CoP) during cognitive or motor dual-tasking is widely used to characterize postural control. Most studies use traditional measures of CoP to quantify postural control, but given its complexity, nonlinear analysis of CoP is of growing interest in the area. This study aims to analyze CoP behavior in healthy young adults during standing posture performance while simultaneously p...

Caseiro, Armando; Rocha, Clara; Silva, Ana Margarida; Ferreira, Carla; Silva, Isabel; Clemente, Mariana; Cipriano, Inês; Saraiva, Marina

Aging is a social and economic challenge of the highest importance and a multidisciplinary intervention seems to be a promising approach for improving the quality of life of elderly individuals. This project was designed aimed at promoting an active and healthy aging through the implementation of an intervention program based on the comprehensive geriatric assessment model (AGA@4life), focused on promoting heal...

EuroFIR guidelines for assessment of methods of analysis: GAMA

Castanheira, Isabel; Saraiva, Marina; Rego, Andreia; Ollilainen, Velimatti

Analytical methodology is a key factor in food composition databases and specific criteria, at the component level, is needed for comparison of analytical data from different sources. The aim of this work is to describe how EuroFIR guidelines for assessment of methods of analysis are created and made available to users. Comprehensive information for macronutrients, vitamins, minerals and trace elements addressi...
