Physiological responses and physical performance of advanced and novice athlete...
dos Santos Figueira Rodrigues, Eduardo; Del Vecchio, Fabrício B.; Vilaça-Alves, José; Neto, João F. L.; Aranha, ÁgataIn Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), the evaluation of athletes' performance is carried out mostly through non-specific tests. So far, there is only one specific test, the Anaerobic Specific Assessment for Mixed Martial Arts (ASAMMA). Thus, the objective of the present study was to apply ASAMMA to MMA athletes and compare their performance according to the competitive level. In the present study, 20 MMA athletes were i...
Are starters accumulating significantly higher load than non-starters? Load, We...
Oliveira, Rafael; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Morgans, Ryland; Rafael-Moreira, Tiago; Vilaça-Alves, José; Brito, João PauloThe study aimed to (i) compare accumulated load and wellness between starters and non-starters of a European professional soccer team; (ii) analyse the relationships between wellness and load measures, and; (iii) compare training/match ratio (TMr) of external and internal load between starters and non-starters. Ten players were considered starters, while seven were classified as non-starters over a 16-week peri...
Are microcycles with different training session numbers providing sufficient lo...
Oliveira, Rafael; Canário-Lemos , Rui; Morgans, Ryland; Peixoto, Rafael; Vilaça-Alves, José; Paulo Brito, JoãoProfessional soccer involves varying numbers of training sessions and matches each week, which can influence load distribution. Understanding the exact distribution may allow appropriate load periodisation and planning for players. Thus, this study aimed to (i) compare accumulated load and wellness between weeks with different numbers of training sessions and (ii) compare the training/match ratio (TMr) of exter...
The relationship between wellness and training and match load in professional m...
Brito, João Paulo; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Peixoto, Rafael; Vilaça-Alves, José; Morgans, Ryland; Oliveira, RafaelThis study aimed to (i) analyse the within-microcycle variations in professional soccer players and (ii) analyse the relationships between wellness and training and match load demands during the following day (MD+1) and the day before match-play (MD-1). Thirteen professional soccer players (24.85±3.13 years) were monitored daily over 16 weeks for wellness, training and match-play intensity. The daily wellness m...
Post-Activation Potentiation Enhancement of Countermovement Jump Performance us...
Peixoto, Rafael; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Moreira, Tiago; Vilela, Guilherme; Chaves, Gabriela Lucas; Aidar, Felipe José; Casanova, Filipe; Monteiro, GabrielaPost-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. ...
Mario Trindade’s Training Method: The Journey to 100m Wheelchair Gold Medal at ...
Coelho, Eduarda; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Forte, Pedro; Costa, Fávia; Vilaça-Alves, JoséThis article aims to present Paralympic athlete Mario Trindade’s training to become the European Champion at the 100-meter wheelchair race in Berlin 2018. The lack of information on this specific training has impaired the beginning of this journey. However, the daily monitoring of this athlete over 20 years has permitted us to realise that the training methods of athletes with disabilities are not very differen...
Drop set versus traditional strength training protocols equated in volume on mu...
Vilaça-Alves, José; Brito, João; Machado, Beatriz; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Moreira, Tiago; Matos, Filipe; Peixoto, Rafael; Monteiro, Gabriéla; Garrido, NunoPurpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two strength training protocols, equated in volume, on the elbow flexor muscle thickness (MT) in women. Methods Twenty-seven women (mean±sd, age 21.89±2.85 years; stature,167.82±5.90 cm; body mass 63.01±7.20 kg; estimate of body fat mass, 19.19±2.88%) were divided in three experimental groups: a drop-set (DS), a traditional (TR), and a control grou...
Are physiological, physical, wellness and load decisive markers of starting pla...
Oliveira, Rafael; Canário-Lemos, Rui; Morgans, Ryland; Rafael-Moreira, Tiago; Vilaça-Alves, José; Brito, JoãoThe study aim was to compare physiological, physical, accumulated wellness and load markers within a European professional soccer team between starters and non-starters. Ten starters (age: 25.1 ± 2.2 years; experience: 7.3 ± 2.3 years) and eight non starters (age: 26.1 ± 4.6; years’ experience: 8.3 ± 4.1 years) participated in the study. The study was conducted across 20 weeks where 75 training sessions and 15 ...

Bioimpedance Phase Angle and Muscle Strength Performance in Young Male Volleyba...
Cirillo, Everton Luis Rodrigues; Afonso, José; Cirillo, Fabiane Tavares; Vilaça-Alves, José; Dourado, Antônio Carlos; Casanova, FilipeVolleyball performance depends partially on lower limb strength. The phase angle (PhA) is a marker of functional muscle mass and a surrogate measure of athletic muscle performance. This study aimed to verify the correlation between PhA (bioimpedance) and lower limb muscle strength in young volleyball athletes. The sample included 38 young male volleyball athletes (Age: 16.7±1.3 years; Weight: 73.7±9.7 kg; Heigh...
