Purpose: Compare physical education (PE) teachers’ perceptions of their students’ motor competence (MC) with students’ objectively assessed actual motor competence. Methods: 20 PE teachers and 340 students participated. Teachers were asked to estimate the student MC. Normative videos of the performance on each test (Standing Long Jump, Shuttle Run, Shifting Platforms, Jumping Sideways, Ball Throwing, and Kickin...
Introduction: The present investigation carried out a cross-cultural adaptation of the category-ratio Borg Scale (Borg CR - 10 scale) into Portuguese. It assessed its content validity and reliability during adolescents' progressive aerobic capacity test in school. Methods: In the first phase, a cross-cultural adaptation and content validity analysis of the Borg CR-10 scale were performed, followed by a pilot st...
Adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) face a heightened risk of falls. Exercise approaches have been identified as a potential strategy to improve physical function and mitigate fall risk. Evaluate the effectiveness of exercise in preventing and mana- ging falls among adults and older adults with CVDs. A comprehensive search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to June 2024 was conducted acros...
Background: Falls are a major public health concern among older adults, often resulting in injury, functional decline, and reduced quality of life. While handgrip strength (HGS), fall efficacy, and balance confidence have individually been associated with fall risk, their combined predictive value is still underexplored, particularly in physically active older adults. This study aimed to investigate the relatio...
The relationships between anthropometric characteristics and fitness abilities is paramount for optimizing training and improving performance. This study investigated the relationships be- tween anthropometric measurements and time to cover 20 m in front crawl swimming. Eight- een participants aged 7 to 14 years (6 boys and 12 girls) were recruited. Anthropometric meas- urements (height and arm span), vertical ...
