Differences between sexes in dynamic balance assessed with the Y-balance test (...
Sampaio, Tatiana; Oliveira, João; Barbosa, Tiago; Marinho, Daniel; Forte, Pedro; Morais , JorgeSwimming requires a significant amount of strength and upper body endurance, as well as shoulder mobility and stability. The Y-balance test is a land-based assessment that requires minimal equipment and examines the unilateral upper-body performance of athletes in their final range of motion to maintain stability (Gorman, Butler, Plisky, & Kiesel, 2012). Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate diffe...

Paiva, Daniel; Marinho, Daniel; Neiva, Henrique; Rama, LuísThe main objective of this study was to characterise the warmup strategies currently used by Portuguese coaches in swimming competitions. A questionnaire, "Warmup in Swimming Competition: Characterization of the strategies used by Portuguese Coaches” was applied to collect the data. All coaches who participated in the study stated that they prescribe warmup to athletes in a competition situation, arguing that t...
The acute effects of a swimming session on the shoulder rotators strength and b...
Batalha, Nuno; Parraca, Jose; Marinho, Daniel; Conceição, Ana Teresa; Louro, Hugo; Silva, António; Costa, MárioThe purpose of this study was to analyze the acute effects of a standardized water training session on the shoulder rotators strength and balance in age group swimmers, in order to understand whether a muscle-strengthening workout immediately after the water training is appropriate. A repeated measures design was implemented with two measurements performed before and after a standardized swim session. 127 parti...
VO2 kinetics and bioenergetic responses to sets performed at 90%, 92.5%, and 95...
Matos, Cristiano Cardoso de; Marinho, Daniel; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Castro, Flavio Antônio de SouzaPurpose The aim of this study was to analyze the acute responses of oxygen uptake and its kinetics, blood lactate concentration, total metabolic energy and energetic contributions to swimming tests performed at 90%, 92.5% and 95% of the 400 m front crawl test mean speed. Methods Fourteen male swimmers (26.7 ± 5.4 years) performed a 400 m front crawl test and three swimming sets at 90%, 90.5%, and 95% of the mea...
Diferenças nas habilidades motoras em crianças entre os 12 e os 23 meses, consi...
Rebelo, Miguel; Serrano, João; Petrica, João; Faustino, António; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Paulo, Rui; Marinho, DanielO objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se existem diferenças no desenvolvimento das habilidades motoras (globais e finas) comparando crianças que ainda eram amamentadas por leite materno com as que já não eram ou nunca foram amamentadas. A amostra é de 153 crianças de ambos os sexos (18,22±2,98 meses), 58 ainda são amamentadas por leite materno (17,59±1,92 meses) e 95 já não são amamentadas por leite materno ou...
Validity and Reliability of the Smart Groin Trainer for Measuring Hip Adduction...
Sousa, António Carlos; Marques, Diogo Luís; Calado, António Manuel; Pacheco, Carlos; Marinho, Daniel; Marques, Mário Cardoso; Travassos, BrunoWe analyzed the Smart Groin Trainer device's validity and reliability to measure the isometric hip adduction strength during the adductor squeeze strength test. Fifteen professional soccer players (25.33±4.06 years) and fifteen university students (21.60±1.76 years) participated in this study. All participants performed the squeeze strength test using two portable dynamometers: Smart Groin Trainer and Globus Er...
Analysis and prediction of competition performance in master swimmers
Louro, Hugo; Freitas, João Diogo; Borrego, Carla; Cunha, Rui; Marinho, Daniel; Santos, Catarina; Conceição, AnaThis study aimed to quantify the participation of male master swimmers during ten seasons (2008/2009 – 2018/2019) in the national master swimmers and predict the results for the 2020/2021 season in the events of 50 100, 200 and 400 m freestyle. Eight age groups were considered, namely, A to H with a total of 5,368 participants, in the four events analysed 50, 100, 200 and 400 m freestyle. The best time of each ...

Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the portuguese peabody development...
Rebelo, Miguel; Serrano, João; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Monteiro, Diogo; Paulo, Rui; Marinho, DanielThe purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Peabody Developmental Motor Scales II (PDMS-2-Folio and Fewell, 2000) using a Portuguese sample. The validation of the Portuguese version of the PDMS-2 was applied according to the manual, for 392 children, from two institutions, from 12 to 48 months, with an analysis of the internal consistency (α Cronbach), of test–retest reliability (ICC...
Training and Profile of Special Olympics Portugal Coaches: Influence of Formal ...
Pires, Pedro Rui Inês; Batista, Marco; Marinho, Daniel; Antúnez, Antonio; Mesquita, Helena; Ibáñez, Sergio J.Since coaches play an important role in the development of athletes, the process and mechanisms used by Special Olympics Portugal to develop coaches’ skills are worthy of research. In this context, the study aims to identify the training paths and profiles of the Special Olympics Portugal coach. It also aims to analyze the relationship between formal and non-formal learning in the profile and training of this t...
