COMPETÊNCIA MOTORA REAL PERCEBIDA: PRECISÃO DA ESTIMATIVA DA PERFORMANCE
Almeida, Gabriela; Luz, Carlos; Rodrigues, Luís Paulo; Lopes, Vitor; Cordovil, RitaO presente estudo teve como objetivo caraterizar a tendência de erro da competência motora percebida (CMP), segundo perfis de competência motora (CM) e precisão da CMP. A CM e a precisão da CMP de 287 crianças (51,57% meninos; Midade=8,63; DP= 1,15) foram avaliadas respetivamente pela Bateria Motor Competence Assessment e por quatro tarefas motoras (salto horizontal, lançamento, pontapé e caminhar para trás num...
Multidefect detection tool for large-scale PV plants: Segmentation and classifi...
Rocha, Daniel; Alves, Joao; Lopes, Vitor; Teixeira, Jennifer P.; Fernandes, Paulo A.; Costa, Mauro; Morais, Modesto; Salome, Pedro M. P.Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with highresolution optical and infrared (IR) imaging have been introduced in recent years to perform inexpensive and fast inspections in operation and maintenance activities of solar power plants, reducing the labor needed, while lowering the on-site inspection time. Even though UAVs can acquire images extremely quickly, the analysis of those images is still a time-consuming pro...
Profiles of motor competence and its perception accuracy among children: Associ...
Almeida, Gabriela; Luz, Carlos; Rodrigues, Luís Paulo; Lopes, Vitor; Cordovil, RitaThe main goals of this study were to identify profiles in school-aged children based on actual Motor Competence (MC) and accuracy of Perceived Motor Competence (PMC) and to examine how children with different profiles differ in terms of Physical Fitness (PF) and Body Fat percentage (BF%). The MC of a total of 287 children (51.6% boys, aged between 6 and 10 years-old) was assessed using the Motor Competence Asse...
Magnesium stents manufacturing: experimental application of a novel hybrid thin...
Lopes, Vitor; Puga, Helder; Gomes, Inês Varela; Peixinho, Nuno; Teixeira, J. Carlos; Barbosa, J.The present study addresses a thin-walled investment casting methodology of AZ91D-1 wt% CaO magnesium alloy for stent manufacturing. Additive manufacturing and Yttria-based coating were applied to optimize the process. An induction melting furnace assisted by vacuum was used to cast magnesium alloy stents with 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm wall thickness under an argon-protective atmosphere. According to the proposed metho...

Cardiorespiratory, metabolic and energy expenditure adaptations in head-out aqu...
Bartolomeu, Raul; Barbosa, Tiago; Morais, Jorge; Lopes, Vitor; Bragada, José; Costa, MárioPurpose: (i) to establish the relationship between acute physiological responses and musical cadence; (ii) to compare physiologic responses between young and older women. Methods: 18 older (mean=65.06±5.77 years) and 19 young (mean=22.16±2.63 years) women underwent an intermittent and progressive protocol performing the head-out aquatic exercise "rocking horse". Results: older women demonstrated lower values in...
Longitudinal study in male swimmers: a hierarchical modeling of energetics and ...
Costa, Mário; Bragada, José; Marinho, Daniel; Lopes, Vitor; Silva, António; Barbosa, TiagoThe aim of this study was to assess the pooled and individual response of male swimmers over two consecutive years of training and identify the energetic and biomechanical factors that most contributed for the final performance. Nine competitive swimmers (20.0 ± 3.54 years old; 10.1 ± 3.41 years of training experience; 1.79 ± 0.07 m of height; 71.34 ± 8.78 kg of body mass; 22.35 ± 2.02 kg·m(-2) of body mass ind...
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: Cause of a Cardiogenic Shock
Fevereiro, Maria do Carmo; Simões, Maria Inês; Lampreia, Fátima; Marcão, Isabel; Godinho, António; Lopes, VitorTakotsubo cardiomyopathy, of unknown etiology, is characterized by sudden and transient systolic dysfunction of the mid-apical segments of the left ventricle without significant coronary disease, and full normalization of segmental changes. More common in middle-aged women, it is cause of differential diagnosis with acute coronary syndrome. We present the case of a 59 year old woman admitted to the emergency ro...
