Measured and perceived physical responses in multidimensional fitness training ...
Munoz, J. E.; Gonçalves, A.; Gouveia, E. R.; Cameirão, M. S.; Bermúdez i Badia, S.Exergames have been used to increase physical activity levels to produce health benefits in older adults. However, only a small number of studies have quantified the physical activity levels produced by custom-made Exergames and their capacity to elicit recommended levels of exercise. This study investigates the effectiveness of custom-made Exergames, designed for multidimensional fitness training, in eliciting...
The biocybernetic loop engine: an integrated tool for creating physiologically ...
Bermúdez i Badia, Sergi; Cameirão, M. S.; Gouveia, E. R.; Muñoz, J. E.Biocybernetic loops (BLs) are physiological adaptation mechanisms created to augment human-computer interaction by interpreting human behaviour via physiological responses. Because of its inherent complexity, the development of BLs has been mainly utilized within the academic environment, with limited use of physiologically adaptive systems in promising fields such as assistive and gaming technologies. The Bioc...
Automating senior fitness testing through gesture detection with depth sensors
Gonçalves, A. R.; Cameirão, M. S.; Bermúdez i Badia, S.; Gouveia, E. R.Sedentarism has a negative impact on health, life expectancy and quality of life, especially in older adults. The assessment of functional fitness helps evaluating the effects of ageing and sedentarism, and this assessment is typically done through validated battery tests such as the Senior Fitness Test (SFT). In this paper we present a computer-based system for assisting and automating SFT administration and s...
Uma comparação da aptidão funcional de mulheres idosas portuguesas e brasileiras
Gouveia, E. R.; Maia, José António Ribeiro; Beunen, Gaston Prudence; Blimkie, Cameron Joseph; Gouveia, B. R.; Velosa, S. F.; Freitas, Duarte Luís deO objectivo deste estudo transversal foi descrever e comparar os perfis funcionais de duas amostras: 401 idosas portuguesas e 967 brasileiras (Krause et al., 2009), dos 60-79 anos. A aptidão funcional (ApF) foi avaliada usando a bateria Senior Fitness Test (Rikli & Jones 2001). Em ambas as amostras, as idosas dos 60-64 anos apresentaram melhores desempenhos na maioria dos testes de ApF, comparativamente às dos ...
