Effects of a 16‑week high‑speed resistance training program on physical and cog...
Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Batalha, Nuno; Fernandes, Orlando; Gonçalves, Bruno; Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João PauloPurpose This study investigated the effects of a 16-week high-speed resistance training (HSRT) program on physical and cognitive function in independent older adults. Methods Seventy-nine participants were assigned to an intervention group (IG, N= 40, 68.50 ± 3.54 years) or a control group (CG, N = 39, 72.08 ± 5.89 years). The IG completed 60–70 min of supervised HSRT three times weekly for 16 weeks. All concen...
Long-term effects on rate of torque development and fear of falling following h...
Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Fernandes, Orlando; Gonçalves, Bruno; Batalha, Nuno; Brito, João Paulo; Oliveira, RafaelThis study examined the influence of physical activity (PA) on the retention of rate of torque development (RTD) effects achieved following a 16-week high-speed resistance training (HSRT) over a 12-month follow-up period. Secondly, the fear of falling was also assessed. After the follow-up, 36 participants were categorized into two groups according to the PA: light activity group (LAG, N = 20, age 70.00 ± 3.66 ...
Comparisons of external load variables among periods, playing status, and posit...
Nobari, Hadi; Barjaste, Amir; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Oliveira, RafaelThe aims of this study were to compare weekly variations of training monotony (TM) and training strain (TS) among peri ods of the season, playing status and playing positions in professional soccer athletes. Nineteen male professional soccer players were monitored daily over a 43-week period for their total distance, sprint distance ( . 23 km h21 ), acceleration (Acc, . 4ms22 ), and decelerations numbers (Dec, ...
Effects of Combined Training Programs in Individuals with Fibromyalgia: A Syste...
Sousa, Mónica; Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; MOUTÃO, JOÃO; Alves, SusanaFibromyalgia is a rheumatic disease characterised by chronic widespread muscular pain and its treatment is carried out by pharmacological interventions. Physical exercise and a healthy lifestyle act as an important mechanism in reducing the symptoms of the disease. The aims of this study were to analyse and systematise the characteristics of combined training programs (i.e., type and duration of interventions, ...
The effects of high-speed resistance training on health outcomes in independent...
Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Fernandes, Orlando; Pereira, Ana; Oliveira, Rafael; Alderete Goñi, Franco David; Leite, Nilton João ChantreHuman ageing involves several physiological impairments—in particular, a decrease in sensorimotor function and changes in the nervous system reduce muscle strength, power, balance, and functional capacity performance. Preventive strategies are essential to ensure the quality of life of the elderly. High-speed resistance training (HSRT) may be an effective approach to muscle power development in this population,...
Acute and chronic workload ratios of perceived exertion, global positioning sys...
Nobari, Hadi; Alijanpour, Nader; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Oliveira, RafaelThe study aim was 2-fold (i) to describe and compare the in-season variations of acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR) coupled, ACWR uncoupled, and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) through session-rated perceived exertion (s-RPE), total distance (TD), high-speed running distance (HSRD), and sprint distance across different periods of a professional soccer season (early, mid, and end-season) between s...
In-season quantification and relationship of external and internal intensity, s...
Nobari, Hadi; Gholizadeh, Roghayyeh; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Badicu, Georgian; Oliveira, Rafael: The purpose of this study was two-fold: (a) to describe and analyse the relationship of the in-season variations of external and internal intensity metrics as well as well-being measures across different periods of a semi-professional soccer season (early-, mid- and end-season); and (b) to describe training monotony (TM) and training strain (TS) for 20 weeks in a semi-professional soccer season. Eighteen semi...
Seasonal variations of the relationships between measures of training monotony ...
Nobari, Hadi; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Oliveira, Rafael; Paolo Ardigò, LucaThe purposes of this study were (a) to determine the variations in internal and external measures of training monotony (TM) and strain (TS) in professional soccer players according to periods of the season and playing positions, and (b) to analyze the relationships between internal and external measures of TM and TS. Twenty male professional players (age= 29.4 ± 4.4 years) were followed for 20 weeks through ses...
In-season microcycle quantification of professional women soccer players—extern...
Fernandes, Renato; Ceylan, Halil İbrahim; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Brito, João; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Nobari, Hadi; Reis, Victor MachadoAlthough data currently exists pertaining to the intensity in the women’s football match, the knowledge about training is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify external (locomotor activity) and internal (psychophysiological) intensities, as well as the wellness profile of the typical microcycle from professional female soccer players during the 2019/20 in-season. Ten players (24.6 ± 2.3...

Nobari, Hadi; Arslan, Ersan; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Oliveira, RafaelBackground: The aim of this study was to describe and compare the in-season variations of acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR) coupled, uncoupled, and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) through session rating of perceived exertion (s-RPE), total distance (TD), high-speed running distance (HSRD) and sprint distance (SPRINT) in three diferent periods of an elite soccer season according to player positio...
