Background: nature-based interventions are generally recognized for their ability to improve health and wellbeing. Objectives: this scoping review maps the evidence on the use of technology to enhance nature-based interventions, examining various digital tools and their impact on maximizing the benefits of nature-based experiences. Methodology: a scoping review was carried out following the PRISMA ScR guideline...
Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) refers to the temporary improvement in physical abilities resulting from a previous conditioning activity (CA), and velocity-based resistance training has been proposed to optimise PAPE. The present study aimed to evaluate the optimal rest interval to induce PAPE in the countermovement jump using heavy parallel squats monitored by the velocity loss (VL) threshold. ...
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two strength training protocols, equated in volume, on the elbow flexor muscle thickness (MT) in women. Methods Twenty-seven women (mean±sd, age 21.89±2.85 years; stature,167.82±5.90 cm; body mass 63.01±7.20 kg; estimate of body fat mass, 19.19±2.88%) were divided in three experimental groups: a drop-set (DS), a traditional (TR), and a control grou...
Nos últimos anos, o consumo de dietas de base vegetal tem aumentado significativamente devido sobretudo ao aumento de evidência científica acerca dos benefícios deste tipo de alimentação, nomeadamente no que diz respeito ao combate às doenças não transmissíveis. Para além disso, verifica-se que a comercialização de produtos alimentares à base de plantas tem vindo a aumentar, apresentando-se como alternativa aos...
Background: The genetic variants of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex (VKORC1) and in the cytochrome CYP2C9*2 genes have been identified to influence the anticoagulant warfarin and influence its plasmatic levels. Therefore, the pharmacogenetic information on these genes is useful for reducing warfarin adverse reaction [1]. Objectives: This work addresses the development of disposable electrochemical genosenso...
The genetic variants of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex (VKORC1) and in the cytochrome CYP2C9*2 genes have been identified to influence the anticoagulant warfarin and influence its plasmatic levels. Therefore, the pharmacogenetic information on these genes is useful for reducing warfarin adverse reaction. This work addresses the development of disposable electrochemical genosensors able of detecting single ...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most deadly cancers worldwide. Current therapeutic strategies have low success rates and several side effects. This relevant clinical problem requires the discovery of new and more effective therapeutic alternatives. Ruthenium drugs have arisen as one of the most promising metallodrugs, due to their high selectivity to cancer cells. In this work we studied, for the first tim...
In this study, we aimed to examine how Portuguese physical education teachers per ceive the development of physical fitness through fitness tests in schools. The participants were 764 Portuguese teachers teaching at middle-school and high-school levels. The Physical Education Teacher Attitudes Toward Fitness Tests Scale (PETAFTS) was used to collect the data. The means and confidence intervals for each attitude...

Estudos têm demonstrado que uma alimentação de base vegetal está associada a diversos benefícios para a saúde, entre os quais a um equilíbrio do peso corporal, contribuindo no combate à obesidade. No entanto, e por existir um consumo reduzido de vegetais e leguminosas em Portugal, este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a qualidade proteica destes e de outros grupos de alimentos de base vegetal, como forma ...
