Walk or be walked by the dog? The attachment role
Martins, Catarina Freitas; Silva , Luís; Soares, Jorge; Pinto, Graça Sofia Monteiro; Abrantes, Catarina; Gomes , Francisca; Cardoso , LuísThe recruitment of dogs as a source of encouragement and motivation for physical activity (PA) has garnered increased scientific attention (Christian et al., 2016; Morrison et al., 2014; Soares et al., 2015; Westgarth et al., 2014). Accelerometers are a valuable instrument for quantifying PA and energy expenditure in both humans and dogs (Montoye et al., 2020; Yam et al., 2011). However, a recent meta-analytica...

Effect of physical exercise in sarcopenia in institutionalised elderlies
Oliveira Marinho Gomes, Inês; Azevedo, Luís; Martins, Catarina; Pinto, Henrique; Martins, Sofia; Soares, Jorge; Abrantes, Catarina; Pinto, GraçaAgeing is an irreversible natural and normal life process that leads to function loss, often associated with sarcopenia and increased dependence on others. Physical exercise induces an improvement in muscle function, counteracting the effects of ageing and potentially delaying dependence. The main objective of this study was to measure the effect of a physical exercise program on physical fitness, sarcopenia, a...
