Variation of knee joint-position sense of soccer players during one season: An ...
Azevedo, Joana; Rodrigues, Sandra; Moreira-Silva, Isabel; Cardoso, Ricardo; Seixas, AdéritoIntroduction: The distribution of injuries during a competitive season in soccer is not consensual. It is suggested that muscle fatigue may be an underlying factor of increased risk of injury when load is high during the season since an impairment in the muscle mechanoreceptors’ function has been reported, affecting the necessary proprioceptive acuity to maintain the joint stability. Objective: To assess the va...
Prevalence of injuries and associated factors among portuguese teenage soccer p...
Azevedo, Joana Raquel Ferreira Santos; Costa-Moreira, Ana; Cardoso, Ricardo; Moreira-Silva, Isabel; Seixas, AdéritoIntroduction: There is scarce literature on the prevalence of injuries among teenage soccer players and their associated factors. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of injuries in Portuguese male and female teenage soccer players and their associations with sociodemographic, anthropometric, and training factors. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 162 teenage players ...
Acute effects of muscle fatigue on the knee joint-position sense of trained and...
Azevedo, Joana; Rodrigues, Sandra; Moreira-Silva, Isabel; Cardoso, Ricardo; Seixas, AdéritoBackground: The acute effects of muscle fatigue on the knee joint-position sense (KJPS) are not consensual. Although it is known that peripheral fatigue affects the muscle spindle function by increasing its discharge threshold, reports of positive and negative impacts of muscle fatigue on the KJPS of both trained and non-trained individuals can be found in the literature. Aim: To assess the acute effects of mus...
Acute effects of static-stretching on the shoulder joint-position sense: A rand...
Azevedo, Joana; Sousa, Joana; Moreira-Silva, Isabel; Cardoso, Ricardo; Seixas, AdéritoIntroduction: The influence of static-stretching on variables like shoulder muscle strength has been addressed in different sports. However, its effect on the joint-position sense is poorly investigated. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of static-stretching on the shoulder-joint position sense of overhead athletes. Methodology: A three-period block-randomized controlled crossover tr...
Vitamin D intake and cardiometabolic: risk factors in adolescents
Moreira, Carla; Moreira, Pedro; Abreu, Sandra; Santos, Paula Clara; Moreira-Silva, Isabel; Póvoas, Susana; Mota, Jorge; Santos, RuteA growing body of research suggests that vitamin D might play an important role in overall health. No data exist on vitamin D intake for the Azorean adolescent population. The purpose of this study was to assess vitamin D intake and investigate a possible association between vitamin D intake and cardiometabolic risk factors in Azorean adolescents. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted on 496 adoles...
Intake of milk, but not total dairy, yogurt, or cheese, is negatively associate...
Abreu, Sandra; Moreira, Pedro; Moreira, Carla; Moreira-Silva, Isabel; Mota, Jorge; Santos, Paula Clara; Santos, RuteEpidemiologic studies have reported an inverse association between dairy product consumption and cardiometabolic risk factors in adults, but this relation is relatively unexplored in adolescents. We hypothesized that a higher dairy product intake is associated with lower cardiometabolic risk factor clustering in adolescents. To test this hypothesis, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 494 adolescents age...
