Drop set versus traditional strength training protocols equated in volume on mu...
Vilaça-Alves, José; Brito, João; Machado, Beatriz; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Moreira, Tiago; Matos, Filipe; Peixoto, Rafael; Monteiro, Gabriéla; Garrido, NunoPurpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two strength training protocols, equated in volume, on the elbow flexor muscle thickness (MT) in women. Methods Twenty-seven women (mean±sd, age 21.89±2.85 years; stature,167.82±5.90 cm; body mass 63.01±7.20 kg; estimate of body fat mass, 19.19±2.88%) were divided in three experimental groups: a drop-set (DS), a traditional (TR), and a control grou...
O obsoleto e a cidade : o reuso intermédio como ferramenta do planeamento urbano
Costa, PabloA paisagem urbana contemporânea é permeada pelo obsoleto. As cidades estão povoadas por ruínas, edifícios abandonados, espaços vacantes e terrenos vagos. O modelo de desenvolvimento urbano das últimas décadas pautado pela especulação imobiliária, as constantes crises económicas e o processo de aceleração do tempo nas sociedades contemporâneas, têm fomentado a obsolescência dos espaços urbanos e o aparecimento d...
Biosensor data, participatory methods, and urban design
Paiva, Daniel; Pedro, Tomás; Brito Henriques, Eduardo; Costa, Pablo; Boavida-Portugal, Inês; Ferreira, Daniela; Cachinho, HerculanoThe objective of this paper is to explore the application of biosensing techniques in participatory approaches to urban design, namely community mapping and scenario-elicitation. Wearable biosensors, such as electrodermal activity sensors or electroencephalograms, are increasingly used in the study of the sensory, emotional and cognitive experience of urban space (Osborne, 2022). This is happening in tandem wit...
Restoring place attachment in a ruined post-industrial landscape: change, sense...
Brito-Henriques, Eduardo; Costa, PabloPlace attachment in ruined post-industrial landscapes is a very controversial issue. This chapter explores this topic in Barreiro, a shrinking post-industrial town in the Lisbon metropolitan area, Portugal, that has become an effervescent spot for creativity in the very recent years. Thus, links among industrial ruination, arts and place attachment are especially explored in this chapter, looking at how this co...
Usos temporários em tempos de pandemia:
Costa, PabloNo atual momento de pandemia, alguns setores da economia têm se reinventado utilizando temporariamente espaços vagos nas cidades, mais precisamente terrenos vagos. Suas características espaciais permitem tanto o distanciamento social, exigido pelas autoridades de saúde, quanto a experimentação, tão necessária para se repensar paradigmas. Todavia, são muitas as experiências semelhantes que presenciamos durante a...
Interim reuse in urban derelicts: uncovering the community's attitudes and pref...
Costa, Pablo; Brito-Henriques, Eduardo; Cavaco, CristinaOver the last decades, interim reuse has emerged as a possible solution for vacant land and abandoned spaces in cities. It is presented as an alternative to conventional regeneration projects, opening up new possibilities for the occupation of formerly derelict spaces. However, in addition to such opportunities, it also poses a number of risks which need to be mitigated, calling for new mechanisms that foster t...
Lugares
Brito Henriques, Eduardo; Oliveira, Ivo P.; Labastida, Marta; Costa, Pablo; Pereira, RuiOs espaços abandonados das cidades são locais que motivam intrigantes indagações intelectuais. Bowman e Pagano (2004) chamaram-lhes as terrae incognitae do mundo urbanizado. Compararam-nos às regiões não exploradas que os cartógrafos deixavam em branco nos mapas históricos. Construções abandonadas, descampados e baldios urbanos deslizam diante dos olhos de quantos circulam nas cidades, mas poucos se aventuram a...
Designing the in-between: an alternative approach based on interdisciplinary de...
Cavaco, Cristina; Labastida, Marta; Costa, PabloAbandoned urban spaces such as ruins and vacant lands are an ever more ubiquitous presence in contemporary cities. Since the turn of the millennium, with the slowdown of the global economy, an increasing number of such obsolete spaces became the stage for alternative temporary occupations. Usually based on informal and bottom-up initiatives, these occupations provide interim usage for areas that have long been ...
Cyborg urbanization beyond the human: the construction and ruination of the Mat...
Brito-Henriques, Eduardo; Paiva, Daniel; Costa, PabloWork on cyborg urbanization has unveiled the way in which the city is produced through hybridizations of the human and non-human. However, less attention has been given to the ways by which nonhuman actors entangle each other without human mediation. On the other hand, literature on urban ruination has explored the agency of the non-human in landscape transformation, however few works have established the link ...
