Field Position-Related Variations in Body Mass, Postural Control, and Isokineti...
Rocha, João; Cruz, Hélder; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Ribeiro, João Nuno; Martins, Faber; Esteves, Pedro TiagoCombining body composition, dynamic postural control, and isokinetic strength allows for a comprehensive physical and functional assessment of football players across specific playing positions. The aim of this study was to analyze the field position-related variations in the physical and functional profiles of male football players. A convenience sample of 23 professional male football players from a Portugues...
Inspiratory muscle training – effectiveness in the intradialytic period
Casado, Sónia Alexandra Claro; Mendes, Eugénia; Preto, Leonel; Azevedo, Pedro; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Novo, AndréThe function of the inspiratory muscles in hemodialyzed patients is compromised, with a decrease in diaphragm thickness, muscle strength, and altered lung volumes (1,2). Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training: increased functional capacity and strength of inspiratory muscles, decreased sensation of dyspnea, improved quality of life, and lung volumes (3,4). To evaluate...
Physical exercise and hemodialysis – reality in Portugal
Casado, Sónia Alexandra Claro; Felgueiras, Sónia; Fermento, Cristiana; Mendes, Eugénia; Preto, Leonel; Azevedo, Pedro; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Novo, AndréBackground Patients with chronic kidney disease often experience fatigue and a low capacity to perform activities of daily living due to the burden of symptoms, leading to a decrease in quality of life (1). Physical exercise is recommended and safe for hemodialysis patients, in different types of training (aerobic, resistance, or combined) (2,3), with individualized prescription and supervised by health profess...
18 anos de hemodiálise: impacto na capacidade funcional
Casado, Sónia Alexandra Claro; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Mendes, Eugénia; Preto, Leonel; Novo, AndréA Insuficiência Renal Crónica (IRC) e a hemodiálise têm impacto significativo na capacidade funcional, associado à sarcopenia e sedentarismo, os quais constituem fatores de risco para maior morbilidade e mortalidade (1,2). A prática regular de exercício físico traz benefícios relevantes para pessoas com IRC, incluindo melhoria da capacidade funcional, da qualidade de vida e maior autonomia (3,4). Descrever a ev...

Marques, Ermelinda; Pires, Nuno; Vaz, Cláudia; Brito, Ana Raquel Costa; Serra, Nuno; Hornero Sánchez, Roberto; Gómez-Raja, Jonathan; Rocha, RuiO principal desafio que enfrenta este projeto é o envelhecimento da população, uma questão desafiante para as políticas dos países, Espanha e Portugal, e que se estende com maior incidência nas regiões que cooperam no projeto (EuroACE: Extremadura, Centro de Portugal e Alentejo) e que têm características comuns: reduzida densidade populacional e um acentuado envelhecimento. Este projeto enfrenta assim desafios ...
Pressão inspiratória máxima em doentes em hemodiálise
Casado, Sónia Alexandra Claro; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Mendes, Eugénia; Preto, Leonel; Novo, AndréOs doentes com Insuficiência Renal Crónica (IRC) sofrem alterações sistémicas, nomeadamente na composição corporal, pelo aumento de fluídos corporais e pela perda acentuada de massa muscular (1). À semelhança de outros grupos musculares, a função dos músculos inspiratórios em doentes com IRC em programa regular de hemodiálise está comprometida, com achados como diminuição da força muscular, alteração dos volume...
Functional capacity of hemodialysis patients – 13 years of evolution
Casado, Sónia Alexandra Claro; Bento, Maria Teresa; Mendes, Eugénia; Preto, Leonel; Azevedo, Pedro; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Novo, AndréChronic kidney disease and hemodialysis are factors that affect functional capacity, and physical inactivity, sarcopenia and a sedentary lifestyle are important risk factors for mortality (1,2). Physical exercise can offer multiple benefits to patients with chronic kidney disease, such as improving aerobic and functional capacity and having a positive impact on quality of life (3,4). To describe the changes in ...
Is sleep behavior impacted by sharing a bed or room with a partner? a cross-sec...
Cordeiro, Jéssica Fernanda Corrêa; Silva, Leonardo Santos Lopes da; Abdalla, Pedro Pugliesi; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Miranda, Kessketlen; Sebastião, EmersonArchaeology Despite exploring factors, little is known about sleep quality and room sharing in older adults. To examine differences in sleep quality among older adults as a function of bed/room sharing during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Brazil and enrolled 1,123 older adults aged 60 years and older. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to as...
Exploring perceived barriers to physical activity among older adults living in ...
Rúa-Alonso, María; Bovolini, Antonio; Costa-Brito, Ana Raquel; Vaz, Cláudia; Marques, Ermelinda; Serra, Nuno; Lopes, Vitor P.; Vila-Chã, CarolinaOlder people in low-population density regions tend to have fewer resources to engage in regular physical activity (PA) compared to their counterparts in urban areas. Moreover, PA assumes different dimensions, and the amount of PA related to each dimension may differ between women and men, predisposing them to different PA practices. Therefore, this cross-sectional study aims to describe the prevalence of barri...
The relationship between static and dynamic balance in active young adults
Gonçalves, Carla; Bezerra, Pedro; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Leão, César; Brandão, António; Cancela, José Maria CancelaPurpose. The objectives were to analyse differences of static and dynamic balance between sexes and test the correlations between static and dynamic balance measures. Methods. The study involved 77 physically active adults, university students (age: 19.1 ± 1.1 years; height: 170.2 ± 9.2 cm; body mass: 64.1 ± 10.7 kg). Static balance was assessed with a force platform under Romberg conditions: a foam surface, ey...
