Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) refers to the temporary improvement in physical abilities resulting from a previous conditioning activity (CA), and velocity-based resistance training has been proposed to optimise PAPE. The present study aimed to evaluate the optimal rest interval to induce PAPE in the countermovement jump using heavy parallel squats monitored by the velocity loss (VL) threshold. ...
The internal intensity monitoring in soccer has been used more in recent years in men's football, however, in women's soccer, the existing literature is still scarce. The aims of this study were threefold: (a) to describe the weekly variations of training monotony (Foster, 1998), training strain and acute:chronic workload ratio (Murray et al., 2017) through session Rated Perceived Exertion (s-RPE); (b) to descr...
Although there is already some knowledge about the intensity in the women's football match, the knowledge about training is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify external (locomotor activity) and internal (psychophysiological) intensities, as well as the wellness profile of the typical microcycle from professional female soccer players during the 2019/20 in-season. Ten players (24.6 ± 2...

External intensity quantification and body composition assessments across the season allow soccer coaches to adjust the intensity during training sessions, thereby avoiding excessive fatigue and helping players maximize their physical fitness status during matches. Thus, the aims of this study were (1) to describe variations in external intensity periods of distance and accelerometry-based measures across the e...
This study evaluates the effects of the use of backpack load and trekking poles on feld track walking energy expenditure. Twenty male volunteer pole walkers (age: 22.70 ± 2.89 years; body mass: 77.90 ± 11.19 kg; height: 1.77 ± 0.06 m; percentage of body fat: 14.6 ± 6.0 %) walked at a self-selected pace on a pedestrian feld track over a period of more than six months. Each subject was examined at random based on ...
Introdução: O desempenho de remadores no remoergômetro é motivo de curiosidade entre os cientistas. Os modelos de predição podem medir o desempenho no remoergômetro. Neste sentido, as variáveis estudadas foram analisadas como possíveis preditores de desempenho. Objetivo: Desenvolver diferentes modelos de regressão a fim de predizer o desempenho com o uso das variáveis antropométricas composição corporal, consum...
As condições geoclimáticas adversas à agricultura de Cabo Verde estão na origem da sua grande dependência das importações de alimentos e dos preços impostos pelo mercado internacional. O aumento destes preços pode tornar o acesso aos alimentos mais difícil e aumentar o risco de insegurança alimentar das famílias. Este artigo procura identificar os fatores locais de resiliência à ameaça de subida dos preços inte...
