Intra-observer reproducibility and inter-observer agreement of Fels skeletal ag...
Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Silva, Manuel Coelho e; Celis-Moreno, Jorge M.; Costa, Daniela C.; Martinho, Diogo V.; Ribeiro, Luís P.; Oliveira, TomásBackground Skeletal age (SA) is an estimate of biological maturity status that is commonly used in sport-related medical examinations. This study considered intra-observer reproducibility and inter-observer agreement of SA assessments among male tennis players. Methods SA was assessed with the Fels method in 97 male tennis players with chronological ages (CA) spanning 8.7–16.8 years. Radiographs were evaluated ...
Observed and predicted ages at peak height velocity in soccer players
Malina, Robert M.; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Martinho, Diogo V.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Figueiredo, Antonio J.; Cumming, Sean P.; Králík, MiroslavThe purpose of the study was to evaluate predicted maturity offset (time before age at PHV) and age at PHV (chronological age [CA] minus maturity offset) in a longitudinal sample of 58 under-13 club level soccer players in central Portugal for whom ages at PHV were estimated with the SITAR model. Two maturity offset prediction equations were applied: the original equation which requires CA sitting height, estim...
Body composition among long distance runners
Rosado, Joana; Duarte, João P.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Costa, Daniela C.; Martinho, Diogo V.; Santos, João Valente dos; Rama, Luis M.; Tavares, Óscar M.OBJECTIVE: The current study aimed to examine the body composition of adult male ultra-trail runners (UTR) according to their level of participation (regional UTR-R, vs. national UTR-N). METHODS: The sample was composed of 44 adult male UTR (aged 36.5±7.2 years; UTR-R: n=25; UTR-N: n=19). Body composition was assessed by air displacement plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiom...
Physiological profile of adult male long-distance trail runners: variations acc...
Oliveira-Rosado, Joana; Duarte, João P.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Costa, Daniela; Martinho, Diogo V.; Sarmento, Hugo; Santos, João Valente dosObjective: To describe and identify the importance of different indicators of the aerobic and anaerobic fitness of male ultra-trail runners according to their level of participation (regional or national). Methods: Forty-four male ultra-trail runners were assessed (36.5±7.2 years). They were classified as regional (n=25) and national (n=19). Wingate test was used to assess the anaerobic pathway. A progressive i...
Allometric Modeling of Wingate Test among Adult Male Athletes from Combat Sports
Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Morato, Vinícius; Costa, Daniela; Martinho, Diogo V.; Rama, Luis M.; Valente-dos-Santos, JoãoBackground and objectives: Athletes from combat sports are grouped into a series of weight categories that are intended to promote fair competition. Differences in performance are partly attributable to differences in body size. Consequently, ratio standards in which a performance variable is simply divided by an anthropometric characteristic such as body mass are often used, although this application is not re...
Body composition, strength static and isokinetic, and bone health: comparative ...
Tavares, Óscar M; Duarte, João P.; Werneck, André O; Costa, Daniela C.; Silva, Paulo Sousa e; Martinho, Diogo V.; Luz, Leonardo G. O.; Morouço, PedroObjective: To compare tissue composition, total and regional bone mineral content and bone mineral density, static hand grip and knee joint isokinetic strength between amateur soccer players and Control Group. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Air displacement plethysmography was used to estimate body volume and, in turn, density. Body composition, bone mineral content and bone mineral density were assessed for t...
