Development of a theory and evidence-based digital intervention tool for weight...

Background: Many weight loss programs show short-term effectiveness, but subsequent weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. Digital technologies offer promising means to delivering behaviour change approaches at low cost and on a wide scale. The NoHoW project was a European Commission H2020-funded project aimed to develop, test, and evaluate a digital Toolkit designed to promote successful long-term we...

A narrative review of motor competence in children and adolescents: what we kno...

Lack of physical activity is a global public health problem causing not only morbidity and premature mortality, but it is also a major economic burden worldwide. One of the cornerstones of a physically active lifestyle is Motor Competence (MC). MC is a complex biocultural attribute and therefore, its study requires a multi-sectoral, multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approach. MC is a growing area of research...

Perceived Environmental Supportiveness Scale: Portuguese Translation, Validatio...

Aim: Grounded on Self-Determination Theory, this study aimed to translate, adapt and validate the Perceived Environmental Supportiveness Scale (PESS) in a sample of Portuguese physical education students. Methods: The global sample was comprised of 964 students (518 females), divided in two groups: the calibration (n = 469) and the validation one (n = 483), all of them enrolled in two Physical Education (PE) cl...

The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) Portuguese-Version...

This study has as prime objective to analyze the psychometric properties of the Behavioral Regulation Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) in a sample of Portuguese exercisers and invariance across gender. Two independent samples (448 calibration; 374 validation), aged between 16 and 78 years (M = 40.29; SD = 16.24), of both gender, (495 female; 327 male) were enrolled in this study. The results show that the origin...

Translation and validation of the perceived locus of causality questionnaire (P...

Aim: This study main aim was to translate and validate one of the most used SDT-based instruments to assess motivation in PE classes, the Perceived Locus of Causality Questionnaire (PLOCQ), to the Portuguese context. Method: Sample was composed of 652 boys (M=15.4 years; SD=1.90) and 702 girls (M=15.47 years; D=1.95), enrolled in physical education classes in several Portuguese schools. Results: The analysis pr...

Fitness, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors: a correlational study

This study aimed to verify the relationship between anthropometric measures (AM), blood pressure (BP) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), predicted BMI z-score, waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) variance. A total of 245 children (8.90 ± .80years-old) were recruited from a Portuguese school. WHtR was classified according the reference ≥ 0...

Métodos: Participaram 77 crianças (7-10 anos) de uma escola portuguesa. O programa incluiu consultas/reuniões individuais, sessões educacionais, aum...

Longitudinal relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and academic achiev...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the prospective associations between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and academic achievement in the youth. Methods: The sample included 1286 fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-grade students, age 11 to 14 yr (Mage = 11.3 ± 1.1), from 14 schools followed for 3 yr. Academic achievement was assessed using the students’ marks at baseline and at follow-up 3 yr apart, in Portug...
