Body composition among long distance runners
Rosado, Joana; Duarte, João P.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Costa, Daniela C.; Martinho, Diogo V.; Santos, João Valente dos; Rama, Luis M.; Tavares, Óscar M.OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to examine the body composition of adult male ultra-trail runners (UTR) according to their level of participation (regional UTR-R, vs. national UTR-N). METHODS: The sample was composed of 44 adult male UTR (aged 36.5±7.2 years; UTR-R: n=25; UTR-N: n=19). Body composition was assessed by air displacement plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiom...

Oliveira-Rosado, Joana; Duarte, João P.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Costa, Daniela; Martinho, Diogo V.; Sarmento, Hugo; Santos, João Valente dosObjective: To describe and identify the importance of different indicators of the aerobic and anaerobic fitness of male ultra-trail runners according to their level of participation (regional or national). Methods: Forty-four male ultra-trail runners were assessed (36.5±7.2 years). They were classified as regional (n=25) and national (n=19). Wingate test was used to assess the anaerobic pathway. A progressive i...
Allometric Modeling of Wingate Test among Adult Male Athletes from Combat Sports
Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Morato, Vinícius; Costa, Daniela; Martinho, Diogo V.; Rama, Luis M.; Valente-dos-Santos, JoãoBackground and objectives: Athletes from combat sports are grouped into a series of weight categories that are intended to promote fair competition. Differences in performance are partly attributable to differences in body size. Consequently, ratio standards in which a performance variable is simply divided by an anthropometric characteristic such as body mass are often used, although this application is not re...

Kinetic Analysis of Water Fitness Exercises: Contributions for Strength Develop...
Santos, Catarina C.; Rama, Luis M.; Marinho, Daniel A.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Costa, Mário J.The evaluation of propulsive forces in water allows the selection of the most appropriate strategies to develop strength during water fitness sessions. The aim of this study was threefold: (i) to analyze the rate of force production; (ii) to analyze the rate of force variation; and (iii) to compare limbs' symmetry in two water fitness exercises. Twenty-two young health subjects (age: 21.23 ± 1.51 years old, bod...
Heart Rate Variability and Stress Recovery Responses during a Training Camp in ...
Coelho, André B.; Nakamura, Fábio Y.; Morgado, Micaela C.; Holmes, Clifton J.; Baldassarre, Angela; Esco, Michael R.; Rama, Luis M.Training camps are typical in elite Canoeing preparation, during which, the care to assure adaptation to avoid undesired fatigue is not always present. This study aimed identifying a specific sex response in perceived training loads, recovery and stress balance, and cardiac autonomic responses. Twenty-one elite athletes (11 males and 10 females) of the Portuguese Canoeing National team participated in the inves...
Total and regional bone mineral and tissue composition in female adolescent ath...
Valente-dos-Santos, João; Tavares, Óscar M.; Duarte, João P.; Sousa e Silva, Paulo M.; Rama, Luis M.; Casanova, José M.; Fontes-Ribeiro, Carlos A.Background: Exploring the osteogenic effect of different bone-loading sports is particular relevant to understand the interaction between skeletal muscle and bone health during growth. This study aimed to compare total and regional bone and soft-tissue composition between female adolescent swimmers (n=20, 15.71±0.93 years) and volleyball players (n=26, 16.20±0.77 years). Methods: Dietary intake was obtained usi...
