Association between lung function and dyspnoea and its variation in the multina...
Müller, A.; Wouters, E. F.; Koul, P.; Welte, T.; Harrabi, I.; Rashid, A.; Loh, L. C.; Al Ghobain, M.; Elsony, A.; Ahmed, R.; Potts, J.; Mortimer, K.Background: Dyspnoea is a common symptom of respiratory disease. However, data on its prevalence in general populations and its association with lung function are limited and are mainly from high-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of dyspnoea across several world regions and to investigate the association of dyspnoea with lung function. Methods: Dyspnoea was assessed, and lung functio...
MIH tooth sealing and protection: a new engineered solution
Silva, Filipe Samuel; Rodrigues, F.; Arieira, A.; Madeira, S.; Pinto, J.Background: This in vitro study provides evidence of mechanical, thermal, air, biological, anti-bacterial, and adhesion properties of a modified Peek-based composite structure, to protet hipomineralized teeth in pediatric crowns. Methods: The following tests, representing different intra-oral conditions, were performed: Stress relaxation properties of new engineered solution, representing chewing loads. Thermal...
Exercise intensity agreement, need satisfaction, and exercise behavior: A sex-m...
Teixeira, D. S.; Andrade, A. J.; Faria, J.; Marques, P.; Bastos, V.; Rodrigues, F.; Sousa, A. M.; Pereira, H. V.Several theoretical frameworks have been used to understand exercise adherence. Basic psychological needs (BPN), grounded on self‐determination theory, have received large attention for this purpose. More recently, the hedonic theory and the assumptions related to the exercise characteristics (e.g., intensity) that can bolster positive affective responses have been revitalized. This study aimed to explore the a...

Attentional Bias Toward Forest Fires-Related Stimuli Among Firefighters and Gen...
Rodrigues, F.; Bártolo, A.; Santos, I.; Pereira, A.; Silva, C.Firefighters are first responders in emergencies, being repeatedly exposed to traumatic events and extreme conditions, much more so than the general population (Berger et al., 2012; Meda et al., 2012). There seems to be a relationship between emotions, cognitions and trauma, with critical incidents inducing more traumatic symptoms (Hayes et al., 2012; Pinto et al., 2015). Emotional reactions are organized by mo...
In vitro toxicity assessment of firefighters’ breathable air collected on polyu...
Bessa, M. J.; Teixeira, J.; Delerue-Matos, C.; Sarmento, B; Rodrigues, F.; Oliveira, M.Background: Occupational exposure as a firefighter has been recently classified as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) [1]. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are one of the main fire-related pollutants [3], and their presence in the breathable air of firefighters was already demonstrated [4]. However, the toxicity mechanisms involved in such exposures ...
The Mediation Role of Perceived Benefits and Barriers in the Relationship Betwe...
Rodrigues, F.; Monteiro, D.; Lopes, Vítor P.We investigated whether the relationship between significant others’ social support and adolescents’ physical activity (PA) is mediated by perceived barriers and benefits of PA. In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from 497 adolescents (girls = 272, boys = 225) aged between 12-18 years (M = 15.87, SD = 1.43) from six different middle and secondary schools. We collected data regarding social cognitive...
How Does the Level of Physical Activity Influence Eating Behavior? A Self-Deter...
Fernandes, Vanessa; Rodrigues, F.; Jacinto, M.; Teixeira, Diogo; Cid, L.; Antunes, Raul; Matos, R.; Reigal, Rafael E.; Hernández-Mendo, AntonioPhysical activity and diet are two predominant determinants of population health status that may influence each other. Physical activity has been identified as a behavior that may lead to a healthier diet and regulates eating behaviors. This research aimed to investigate how the level of physical activity is associated with the motivation related to eating behaviors and, consequently, the eating style individua...
Affective responses to resistance exercise: toward a consensus on the timing of...
Andrade, A.J.; Ekkekakis, P.; Evmenenko, A.; Monteiro, D.; Rodrigues, F.; Cid, Luis; Teixeira, D.S.Tailoring exercise prescriptions aimed at improving affective responses to resistance exercise may promote pleasurable experiences and thus exercise adherence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate different timing protocols for administering rating scales for the assessment of affective valence (Feeling Scale, FS) and perceived activation (Felt Arousal Scale, FAS) during resistance exercise. Thirty-three e...
The behavioral regulation in exercise questionnaire (BREQ-4): psychometric evid...
Teixeira, D.S.; Rodrigues, F.; Monteiro, D.; Cid, LuisThe assessment of motivation has been a key aspect to the understanding of exercise participation, and research grounded in self-determination theory has presented valid and reliable instruments for that purpose. Given the need to continually refine this latent construct, the present study aimed to translate, adapt, and psychometrically validate a subscale targeting the approach facet of introjection, and to te...
