Effects of Aquatic Exercises for Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A 12-Week Int...
Perez-Sousa, Miguel A.; Pedro, Jéssica; Carrasco-Zahinos, Rocio; Raimundo, Armando; Parraca, Jose A.; Tomas-Carus, PabloBackground: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by low physical fitness, pain, and depression. The present study aimed to examine the effects of a supervised aquatic exercise program on physical fitness, depression, and pain in women with RA and determine whether decreases in pain mediate depression. Methods: Forty-three women with RA, divided into an experimental group (EG; n = 21) and a control group (...

Mendoza-Muñoz, María; Carlos-Vivas, Jorge; Castillo-Paredes, Antonio; Parraca, Jose A.; Raimundo, Armando; Alegrete, Joana; Pastor-Cisneros, RaquelPhysical literacy assessment is considered a vital resource to decrease the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity in children and adolescents worldwide. In Portugal, there is no physical literacy assessment tool for children under 15 years old. The main objective of this study was to carry out a translation and cultural adaptation of the Canadian Physical Literacy Assessment 2 (CAPL-2) into...
Prevalence of Lower Back Pain and Risk Factors in Equestrians: A Systematic Review
Duarte, Carlota Rico; Raimundo, Armando; Sousa, João Paulo; Fernandes, Orlando; Santos, RuteThis systematic review aimed to determine the prevalence of lower back pain (LBP) in equestrian athletes (EAs) and identify associated risk factors. Following the PRISMA guidelines, observational studies published between 2004 and 2024 in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German were included. The review identified relevant studies through the Web of Science, EBSCO, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS (last search performed on...

Ferreira, Soraia; Sintonen, Harri; Raimundo, Armando; Batalha, Nuno; Mendoza-Muñoz, María; Perez-Gomez, Jorge; Parraca, Jose A.(1) Background: Purpose: The assessment of quality of life is essential to the human condition and can be measured through questionnaires. This study aims to translate and culturally adapt the 15D questionnaire to assess the population’s quality of life, as well as explore its relative reliability and internal consistency; (2) Methods: The translation and cultural adaptation of the 15D questionnaire was carried...

Effect of physical exercise on taste perception and saliva composition: An expl...
Roque, Ana; Perez-Jimenez, Maria; Simões, Carla; Carreira, Laura; Capela e Silva, Fernando; Batalha, Nuno; Raimundo, Armando; Lamy, ElsaPhysical exercise has known physiological effects. Although it is empirically assumed that these effects extend to changes in salivation and even in appetite, the influence of exercise on oral biochemistry - and its potential interplay with taste perception - remains poorly understood. This exploratory study investigated the impact of physical exercise on salivary composition and intensity perceived for sweet a...
