Effects of a 16-week High-Speed Resistance Training program on body composition...
Martins, Alexandre; Brito, João; Fernandes, Orlando; Oliveira, Rafael; Gonçalves, Bruno; Batalha, NunoBackground & aims: Aging frequently causes changes in body composition, such as a loss of strength and muscular mass and an increase in fat mass. Exercise training programs have been suggested as effective strategies to mitigate or prevent age-related declines in body composition. Therefore, this study exam- ined the effects of a sixteen-week High-Speed Resistance Training (HSRT) program on body composition par...
Phase angle as a key marker of muscular and bone quality in community- dwelling...
Martins, Alexandre; Brito, João; Batalha, Nuno; Oliveira, Rafael; Parraca, José; Fernandes, OrlandoThe aim of the present cross-sectional exploratory pilot study was to analyze the ability of the Phase Angle (PhA) to predict physical function, muscle strength and bone indicators, upon adjusting for potential confounders [age, sex, lean mass, and body mass index (BMI)]. This study included 56 physically independent older adults (age, 68.29 ±3.01 years; BMI, 28.09 ±4.37 kg/m2). A multi-frequency segmental bioe...

Predicting the Health Status of a Pulp Press Based on Deep Neural Networks and ...
Martins, Alexandre; Mateus, Balduíno; Fonseca, Inácio; Farinha, José Torres; Rodrigues, João; Mendes, Mateus; Cardoso, António MarquesThe maintenance paradigm has evolved over the last few years and companies that want to remain competitive in the market need to provide condition-based maintenance (CBM). The diagnosis and prognosis of the health status of equipment, predictive maintenance (PdM), are fundamental strategies to perform informed maintenance, increasing the company’s profit. This article aims to present a diagnosis and prognosis m...
Online Monitoring of Sensor Calibration Status to Support Condition-Based Maint...
Martins, Alexandre; Fonseca, Inácio; Farinha, José Torres; Reis, João; Cardoso, António J. MarquesCondition-Based Maintenance (CBM), based on sensors, can only be reliable if the data used to extract information are also reliable. Industrial metrology plays a major role in ensuring the quality of the data collected by the sensors. To guarantee that the values collected by the sensors are reliable, it is necessary to have metrological traceability made by successive calibrations from higher standards to the ...
