Increasing 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 ...
Com o número crescente de pessoas a frequentar ginásios, aumentam também os mitos e a desinformação acerca da suplementação alimentar, nomeadamente o uso de suplementos de creatina, o que pode implicar sérios problemas de saúde. Objetivos: Avaliar hábitos de consumo de suplementos de creatina em pessoas que frequentam ginásios. Metodologia: Estudo transversal e observacional de carácter quantitativo. Foi aplica...
Student mental health is a global goal, first because it is health we are talking about and secondly because it has implications in the quality of learning and, consequently, in the adequate preparation of professionals for society. The ANN presented excellent learning performance (> 90%) for all targeted variables, within reasonable to good generalization capacity (60-73%). Finally, the university student’s de...
Though 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...
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...

ObjectiveTo establish the effect of high-intensity and progressive volume resistance training (HIRT), on general health, functional, mental status, and quality of life (QOL) indicators in people with spinal cord injury (SCI).MethodsThe sample consisted of five people with SCI of both sexes, aged 46.2 +/- 13.9 years, submitted to 12 weeks of HIRT, twice a week. We analyzed before and after the 12 weeks of interv...
A utilização de creatina como suplemento durante a prática de atividade física tem sido extensivamente debatida como uma estratégia adotada para aprimorar o rendimento desportivo. (Bemben & Lamont et al., 2005; Branch et al., 2003). 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:...
Utilizing 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...
