Acute effects of dynamic stretching on knee joint position sense and dynamic ba...
Simões, Edgar; Tavares, Nuno; Saraiva, MarinaObjectives: Proprioception and dynamic balance are crucial elements of neuromuscular control during running, supporting movement precision and postural adjustments. Dynamic stretching is commonly used in warm-ups to enhance muscle activation and sensorimotor readiness, but its acute effects on proprioception and balance remain unclear. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Participants: Sixty-two healthy recreat...
Arthroscopic Repair of a Bucket-Handle Tear of a Discoid Lateral Meniscus in a ...
Silva Souto, Catarina; Sousa, Duarte; Carvalho, Tiago; Mesquita Montes, José; Tavares, Nuno; Souto, CatarinaA discoid meniscus is a rare congenital anatomic variation with an estimated incidence of 1% to 3% in children. Due to their abnormal shape, discoid meniscus are associated with reduced tissue quality, less vascularization and looser peripheral attachments when compared to normal ones. Individuals with this abnormality are more predisposed to sustain meniscal injuries. Although meniscal injuries are less preval...
Electromyographic activity of shoulder muscles on two preventive exercise progr...
Tavares, Nuno; Castro, Maria António; Vilas-Boas, João PauloStrength programmes have shown good results in preventing swimmer’s shoulder. However, there aren’t studies based on electromyographic (EMG) analysis in these programmes. This study aims to compare an EMG activity of the middle trapezius (MT), lower trapezius (LT), infraspinatus (IS), serratus anterior (SA), and pectoralis major (PM) in two swimmer’s shoulder preventive programmes – one performed with elastic b...
Effect of Preventive Exercise Programs for Swimmer’s Shoulder Injury on Rotator...
Tavares, Nuno; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Castro, Maria AntónioBackground: Over the season, competitive swimmers experience a progressive imbalance in rotator cuff strength, predisposing them to a significant risk factor for a swimmer’s shoulder injury. Objectives: Verify the effectiveness of two 12-week preventive programs on the shoulder rotators’ peak torque and conventional/functional ratios. Design: A care provider- and participant-blinded, parallel, randomized contro...
The Effect of Ice on Shoulder Proprioception in Badminton Athletes
Marouvo, Joel; Tavares, Nuno; Dias, Gonçalo; Castro, Maria AntónioThis study aims to analyze the influence of the application of cryotherapy on shoulder proprioception in badminton athletes. Thirty federated badminton athletes were included in this study, all of whom belonged to three of the teams currently competing in national competitions (Portugal). Their mean ages were 21.00 ± 5.60 years, and their experience in the modality was 8.40 ± 6.93 years. They practiced in an av...

A, Araujo; Tavares, Nuno; Faria, Ana Luísa; Gomes, Rosa; Mendonça, Joana Carvalho; Parente, Bárbara; Capela, Andreia; Barata, Fernando; Macedo, AnaChemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) negatively impact cancer patients' quality of life and treatment outcomes. This study evaluated the achievement of complete response to CINV prophylaxis during the first five days after chemotherapy in adult outpatient cancer clinics with solid malignant tumours receiving Moderate or Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy (MEC or HEC) in Portugal. During the study, patien...

Effectiveness of Therapeutic Exercise in Musculoskeletal Risk Factors Related t...
Tavares, Nuno; Dias, Gonçalo Nuno Figueiredo; Carvalho, Paulo; Vilas-Boas, João Paulo; Castro, Maria AntónioBackground: Therapeutic exercise seems to minimize musculoskeletal risk factors related to swimmer’s shoulder. However, there is an absence of a qualitative evaluation of these programs and a great variability regarding the characteristics of exercises. The objective of this review was to identify, evaluate, and compare exercise programs used to minimize musculoskeletal risk factors related to swimmer’s shoulde...
