The multistage 20-m Shuttle Run Test for predicting VO2Peak in 6–9-year-old chi...
Brito, João; Domingos, Christophe; Pereira, Ana Fátima; MOUTÃO, JOÃO; Oliveira, RafaelThis study aimed (i) to verify if using and carrying a portable gas analyzer (PGA) con strained the performance of school children on the multistage 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT), (ii) to verify which peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) predictive equations have greater agreement with VO2peak values measured by direct oximetry using the 20mSRT. The study participants were 130 children ((67 boys (age 7.76 ± 0.97 ...
A Review on Aging, Sarcopenia, Falls, and Resistance Training in Community-Dwel...
Rodrigues, Filipe; Domingos, Christophe; Monteiro, Diogo; Morouço, PedroAs aging continues to grow in our society, sarcopenia and associated fall risk is considered a public health problem since falling is the third cause of chronic disability. Falls are negatively related to functionality and independence and positively associated with morbidity and mortality. The cost of treatment of secondary injuries related to falls is high. For example, one in ten fall incidents leads to bone...
The influence of noise in the neurofeedback training sessions in student athletes
Domingos, Christophe; Caldeira, Higino da Silva; Miranda, Marco; Melicio, Fernando; Rosa, Agostinho; Pereira, José GomesConsidering that athletes constantly practice and compete in noisy environments, the aim was to investigate if performing neurofeedback training in these conditions would yield better results in performance than in silent ones. A total of forty-five student athletes aged from 18 to 35 years old and divided equally into three groups participated in the experiment (mean +/- SD for age: 22.02 +/- 3.05 years). The ...
Session frequency matters in neurofeedback training of athletes
Domingos, Christophe; Peralta, Miguel; Prazeres, Pedro; Nan, Wenya; Rosa, Agostinho; Pereira, José G.Neurofeedback training has been an increasingly used technique and is taking its first steps in sport. Being at an embryonic stage, it is difficult to find consensus regarding the applied methodology to achieve the best results. This study focused on understanding one of the major methodological issues—the training session frequency. The aim of the investigation was to understand if there are differences betwee...
