Comparison of Physical Activity Level, Body Composition, Strength, and Flexibil...
Encarnação, Samuel Gonçalves; Rezende, Vitor Hugo Santos; Gonçalves, Iarni Martins; Prata, Patrícia de Oliveira Ramalho; Mansur, Henrique NovaisIncreasing youths’ physical activity is mandatory to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCCDs). Basketball is a team sport that is potentially positive in increasing teenagers’ physical performance, health indicators, and well-being. Objective: The objective was to compare the physical activity level (PAL), body composition, strength, and flexibility of teen male basketball players (BG) (n = 15) and ...
Effects of Tryptophan and Physical Exercise on the Modulation of Mechanical Hyp...
Rezende, Rafael Marins; Coimbra, Roney Santos; Kohlhoff, Markus; Favarato, Lukiya Silva Campos; Martino, Hércia Stampini DuarteThough the mechanisms are not fully understood, tryptophan (Trp) and physical exercise seem to regulate mechanical hypersensitivity in fibromyalgia. Here, we tested the impact of Trp supplementation and continuous low-intensity aerobic exercise on the modulation of mechanical hypersensitivity in a fibromyalgia-like model induced by acid saline in female rats. Twelve-month-old femaleWistar rats were randomly div...
Assessing the aerodynamics of an able-bodied cyclist and a shoulder-amputee cyc...
Forte, Pedro; Marinho, D.A.; Neiva, Henrique P.; Sampaio, Tatiana; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Branquinho, Luís; Silva, A.J.; Monteiro, A.M.This study aimed to analyse the aerodynamics by numerical simulations with computer fluid dynamics of an ablebodied cyclist and a shoulder-amputee cyclist. An elite cyclist volunteered for this research; the cyclist was scanned with his competition gear and bicycle and the able-bodied and shoulder amputee 3D cyclists models were created. Numerical simulations were conducted between 1 m/s and 13 m/s (with increm...

Objetivos: Avaliar os efeitos da suplementação de creatina na força e potência muscular em adolescentes e adultos saudáveis praticantes de treino de resistência. Material e Métodos:...
Analyzing Key Factors on Training Days within a Standard Microcycle for Young S...
Teixeira, José Eduardo; Branquinho, Luís; Ferraz, Ricardo; Morgans, Ryland; Encarnação, Samuel Gonçalves; Ribeiro, Joana; Afonso, Pedro; Ruzmetov, NematUtilizing techniques for reducing multivariate data is essential for comprehensively understanding the variations and relationships within both biomechanical and physiological datasets in the context of youth football training. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the primary factors influencing training sessions within a standard microcycle among young sub-elite football players. A total of 6...
Match-to-Match Variation on High-Intensity Demands in a Portuguese Professional...
Teixeira, José Eduardo; Branquinho, Luís; Leal, Miguel; Morgans, Ryland; Sortwell, Andrew; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, A.M.; Afonso, PedroThe aim of this study was to analyze the match-to-match variation in high-intensity demands from one Portuguese professional football team according to playing positions. Twentythree male outfield professional football players were observed during eighteen matches of the Portuguese Second League. Time–motion data were collected using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Match running performance was anal...
