Ergo4Workers: A User-Centred App for Tracking Posture and Workload in Healthcar...
Sabino, Inês; Fernandes, Maria do Carmo; Antunes, Ana; Monteny, António; Mendes, Bruno; Caldeira, Carlos; Guimarães, Isabel; Grazina, NidiaHealthcare professionals (namely, occupational therapists) face ergonomic risk factors that may lead to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD). Ergonomic assessments are crucial to mitigate this occupational issue. Wearable devices are a potential solution for such assessments, providing continuous measurement of biomechanical and physiological parameters. Ergo4workers (E4W) is a mobile application desi...
Studying the Effects of Water Content in Breast Microwave Imaging with a Volunteer
Godinho, Daniela M.; Simões, Afonso; Mendes, Bruno; Canastra, Gonçalo; Correia, Inês A.; Saraiva, Joana; Dias, Rodrigo; Conceição, Raquel C.Microwave Imaging (MWI) has been studied for early breast cancer detection in the last few decades. Volunteer and patient studies have recently been performed in academia and industrial environments [1]. Nevertheless, the axillary region, which may be affected by breast cancer, has not been assessed in such studies.
5G network as key-enabler for vehicular platooning
Duarte, Paulo; Soyturk, Mujdat; Robles, Ramiro; Araújo, Marco; Yaman, Berkay; Goes, Adriano; Mendes, Bruno; Javanmardi, Gowhar; Gutiérrez Gaitán, MiguelThe future of goods transportation will rely on increased efficiency, lower risks, and diminished delays through the use of vehicle platoons that benefit from vehicular connectivity using V2X (Vehicle to Everything) applications. This article describes a system that offers the aforementioned vehicular connectivity to platoons, based on AI-enhanced 5G for resource allocation in wireless platoon intra-communicati...
Within- and between-mesocycle variations of well-being measures in top elite ma...
Oliveira, Rafael; Ceylan, Halil İbrahim; Brito, João; Martins, Alexandre; Nalha, Matilde; Mendes, Bruno; Clemente, Filipe ManuelBackground: The aims of this study were to describe the variations of training monotony (TM), training strain (TS), and acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) through Hooper Index categories (fatigue, stress, DOMS, and sleep quality) and to compare those variations between player status and player positions. Methods: Seventeen male professional soccer players participated in this study. Considering player status, ...
Development of a Hardware in the Loop Ad- Hoc Testbed for Cooperative Vehicles ...
Vasconcelos Filho, Ênio; Mendes, Bruno; Santos, Pedro M.; Tovar, EduardoCooperative Cyber-Physical Devices (Co-CPS) are reaching into the most diverse areas and pose new integration challenges. This is particularly true between cooperative autonomous machines, where safety and reliability must often be guaranteed without human presence. Among these scenarios, Cooperative Vehicular Platooning (Co-VP) applications present an exciting promise: improving road occupation, reducing accid...
Animal models of colorectal cancer: from spontaneous to genetically engineered ...
Nascimento-Gonçalves, Elisabete; Mendes, Bruno; Silva-Reis, Rita; Faustino-Rocha, Ana Isabel; Gama, Adelina; Oliveira, Paula AlexandraColorectal cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies in humans, affecting approximately 1.8 million people worldwide. This disease has a major social impact and high treatment costs. Animal models allow us to understand and follow the colon cancer progression; thus, in vivo studies are essential to improve and discover new ways of prevention and treatment. Dietary natural products have been...
In-season internal and external workload variations between starters and non-st...
Oliveira, Rafael; Vieira, Luiz H. Palucci [UNESP]; Martins, Alexandre; Brito, João Paulo; Nalha, Matilde; Mendes, Bruno; Clemente, Filipe ManuelMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:41:07Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-07-01; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia; Background and Objectives: Interpretation of the load variations across a period seems important to control the weekly progression or variation of the load, or to identify in-micro-and mesocycle variations. Thus, the aims of this study were twofold: (a) to describ...

Oliveira, Rafael; Vieira, Luiz; Martins, Alexandre; Brito, João; Nalha, Matilde; Mendes, Bruno; Clemente, Filipe ManuelThe aim of this study was two-fold: (a) to describe the in-season variations of training monotony, training strain, and acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR) through session rated perceived exertion (s-RPE), total distance and high-speed running (HSR); (b) to compare those variations between starters and non-starters. Seventeen professional players from an European First League team participated in this study. T...

Effects of match location, match result and the quality of opposition in traini...
Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João; Loureiro, Nuno; Padinha, Vitor; Ferreira, Bruno; Mendes, BrunoThe aim of this study is to analyse effects of match location, match result and level of opponents in training load on the two following days of the match (MD+1; MD+2) in a top-class elite soccer European team. Nine players participated in this study. Total distance covered, distances of different exercise training zones (1–5) and average speed (AvS) were analysed. The session rating of perceived exertion (s-RP...
