Proceedings of the CIDESD International Congress 2025
Marinho, Daniel Almeida; Viana, João; Mota, PaulaThe papers published in these proceedings were submitted to the Scientific Committee of the CIDESD International Congress 2025, held from June 5 to 7, at Covilhã, Portugal. Authors are exclusively responsible for the content of the manuscript published. The editors and the Scientific Committee of the CIDESD International Congress 2025 assume no responsibility for the opinions and statements expressed by the aut...
Editorial: Exploring motor imagery across the lifespan – gaps between practical...
Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Bertollo, Maurizio; Ramalho, André; Marinho, Daniel AlmeidaMotor imagery (MI), understood as the multisensory mental simulation of action, engages motor planning and higher-order cognitive networks, linking motor control with broader cognitive functions. Beyond simple rehearsal, MI reorganizes neural activity and supports the acquisition, refinement, and retention of motor skills throughout the lifespan. Its benefits have been demonstrated across rehabilitation, educat...
The influence of water aerobics on muscle strength and body composition
Brandão Faíl, Luís; Neiva, Henrique Pereira; Marinho, Daniel AlmeidaWith advancing age, some declines in health and physical fitness become expected. Considering that water aerobics is one of the aquatic activities most practised by adults and older adults, verifying its impact on the different parameters of physical fitness in these age groups is important. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of 12 weeks of water aerobics on muscle strength and body compos...
Effect of resisted sled sprint with different loads on running velocity, step f...
Hamamichi, Takeru; Naoi, Kiyotaka; Shigeta, Susumu; Morais, Jorge; Marinho, Daniel Almeida; Moriyama, Shin-IchiroResisted sled sprint (RSS) is a traditional sprint training in which a variety of loads are used for multiple aims. Nevertheless, a detailed analysis of the effects of different loads has not yet been performed. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of load differences on running velocity, step frequency, and step length during RSS in trained collegiate track and field athletes. Twenty-one collegia...
Comparative Analysis of Cyclist Energy Cost and Drag: Able-Bodied vs. Shoulder ...
Sampaio, Tatiana; Morais, Jorge Estrela; Marinho, Daniel Almeida; Barbosa, Tiago Manuel; Monteiro, António Miguel; Forte, PedroIn cycling, drag is the force that opposes the cyclist's motion and is caused by the cyclist's and their equipment's interaction with the air. The surface area of the cyclist and their equipment, such as the bike, helmet, and body postures, substantially impact how much drag they encounter. This study compared the energy cost (Ec) of an able-bodied and shoulder amputee cyclist through numerical simulations usin...
The effect of using a parachute on the propulsive force and stroke mechanics du...
Santos, Catarina Costa; Costa, Mário Jorge; Paiva, Daniel; Rodrigues, Pedro; Marinho, Daniel AlmeidaBiomechanical analysis in swimming has been widely undertaken with propulsion and add-resistance materials. This approach tried to understand how coordination and stroke mechanics were influenced by using such aids. To date, just one study aimed to understand the effect of parachute on the propulsive force at different water flows in a flume (Schnitzler, Brazier, Button, Seifert, & Chollet, 2011). Thus, the aim...
A influência das variáveis antropométricas e de força muscular no rendimento de...
Viana, Bárbara Lopes; Pinto, Mafalda Pamplona; Neiva, Henrique Pereira; Pinheira, João Jorge; Marinho, Daniel AlmeidaAs variáveis antropométricas e a força muscular têm sido apontados como fatores determinantes para o rendimento em nadadores jovens (Morais et al., 2013). No entanto, a influência de algumas destas variáveis ainda não é clara na literatura. Com o presente estudo procuramos verificar de que forma as características antropométricas (i.e. altura, massa corporal e envergadura) e a força muscular explosiva poderão i...
Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Peabody Development...
Rebelo, Miguel; Serrano, João; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Monteiro, Diogo; Paulo, Rui; Marinho, Daniel AlmeidaThe purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Peabody Developmental Motor Scales II (PDMS-2-Folio and Fewell, 2000) using a Portuguese sample. The validation of the Portuguese version of the PDMS-2 was applied according to the manual, for 392 children, from two institutions, from 12 to 48 months, with an analysis of the internal consistency (α Cronbach), of test–retest reliability (ICC...
Sex differences in relationships between perceived coach-induced motivational c...
Rodrigues, Filipe; Macedo, Rita; Cid, Luis; Teixeira, Diogo Santos; Marinho, Daniel Almeida; Monteiro, DiogoThis study analyzed independent and codependent effects of task- and ego-involving motivational climates on basic psychological need satisfaction and behavioral regulation (i.e., autonomous and controlled motivation) among young athletes. Participants were young Portuguese female (n = 114) and male (n = 324) swimmers, nested within four different clubs. Participants completed a multisection survey, assessing mo...
Motivational patterns in persistent swimmers: a serial mediation analysis
Teixeira, Diogo Santos; Pelletier, Luc; Monteiro, Diogo; Rodrigues, Filipe; MOUTÃO, João; Marinho, Daniel Almeida; Cid, LuisObjective: The main objective of the present study was to examine the associations between coach-created task-involving climate and athletes' intentions to continue practicing sport, through a serial mediation analysis that included basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPN), self-determined motivation (SDM) and enjoyment. Methods: 799 elite swimmers (450 males, 349 females; aged 12-22 years, M = 16.65, SD = ...
