Evaluating the Effects of Sensorimotor Training on the Physical Capacities of Older People
Background: Physical activity (PA) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life (QoL) in older people, particularly by enhancing their balance and movement coordination. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of sensorimotor training intervention in older adults. Methods: A total of 90 participants, divided into a Control Group (n = 44) and Experimental Group (n = 46) were involved in a 24-week sensorimotor training program. T…
The effect of Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga method on air force pilots’ operational performance
Introduction: In today's military landscape, optimizing performance and bolstering physical health and mental resilience are critical objectives. Introducing a 12-week Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Supta Method (AVYSM) to the training protocol of military trained Airforce pilots, we aim to assesses the feasibility and impact of the method. Materials and equipment: Borg Scale assesses the intensity level of physical activity during the intervention. Fligh…
Physical Activity and Psychosocial Outcomes in Adults with Achondroplasia
This study provides preliminary evidence suggesting potential benefits of moderate-intensity physical activity on health-related quality of life and mental health among adults with achondroplasia, with notable gender differences. While limited by sample size and study design, the findings highlight the need for larger, longitudinal studies to further explore the role of physical activity in enhancing well-being in this population
Sex, cognitive state and falls as factors associated with malnutrition
Multivariable regression analysis revealed that being female, having a poor cognitive status and experiencing falls with injuries are the main independent factors influencing nutritional status in institutionalized older adults living in a rural area of Portugal
O Samba Não Tem Uma Nota Só
Ilê da oxum apará
The present work consists of an exploratory study on the Traditional Peoples and Communities of African Matrix (PCTMA), the Candomblé terreiros, in the field of cultural heritage policies. It intends a preliminary approach to aspects that evidence the identity construction of the cultural practice of the Ilê da Oxum Apará candomblé terreiro, located in the city of Itaguaí/RJ, as a political-mythical-religious territory, which affirms a symbolic h…
Standing Posture in Motor and Cognitive Dual-Tasks during Smartphone Use
Analysis of the center of pressure (CoP) during cognitive or motor dual-tasking is widely used to characterize postural control. Most studies use traditional measures of CoP to quantify postural control, but given its complexity, nonlinear analysis of CoP is of growing interest in the area. This study aims to analyze CoP behavior in healthy young adults during standing posture performance while simultaneously performing motor or cognitive tasks o…
The Effect of Expertise during Simulated Flight Emergencies on the Autonomic Response and Operative Performance in Military Pilots
Heart rate variability (HRV) and performance response during emergency flight maneuvers were analyzed. Two expert pilots (ages 35 and 33) and two rookie pilots (ages 25) from the Portuguese Air Force participated in this case-control report study. Participants had to complete the following emergency protocols in a flight simulator: (1) take-off engine failure, (2) flight engine failure close to the base, (3) flight engine failure far away from th…
Heart Rate Variability Monitoring during a Padel Match
Padel, an increasingly popular sport, presents some associated cardiovascular risks, which can be prevented by heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring. However, there is no study worldwide that characterizes HRV during padel games. Therefore, this study aims to monitor HRV responses and characterize them using linear and non-linear metrics at three timepoints: at baseline, during a game, and during recovery. Twenty-seven amateur participants had …
O Uso De Metodologias No Campo Do Patrimônio Cultural
O presente estudo tem como objeto o uso de metodologias participativas na produção de conhecimento relacionado ao processo de identificação das referências culturais dos terreiros de candomblé, no campo das políticas públicas do patrimônio cultural. Especificamente, visa apresentar o resultado da dinâmica World coffee ou "Café mundial" aplicada com o objetivo de levantar as demandas dos terreiros de candomblé e a perspectiva sobre o papel exercid…
How can governments tax multinational enterprises more fairly? A discourse analysis
Extant research has identified numerous causes for multinational enterprises (MNE) tax avoidance and formulated a variety of remedial policy solutions. Yet despite being consistently decried as societally unfair, these contested practices persist. We reveal the conflicting and complementary ideologies and worldviews that reside in the background of MNE tax avoidance policy deliberations. Analysis of primary interviews with accounting and tax regu…
Towards the Public
The following article aims to present the results of the valorization of two under tumuli monuments that are part of the Serra do Carvalho necropolis in Póvoa do Lanhoso. The work involved about a dozen volunteers, mainly inhabitants from the Póvoa do Lanhoso municipality, and consisted in the removal of the vegetation mantle, cutting trees rooted on top of the mounds and graphical recording of the archaeological structures. In addition to a deta…
Motion analysis systems as optimization training tools in combat sports and martial arts
Introduction : Over the past years, a few review papers about possibilities of using motion analysis systems in sport were published, but there are no articles that discuss this problem in the field of combat sports and martial arts. Aim : This study presents the diversity of contemporary motion analysis systems both, those that are used in scientific research, as well as those that can be applied in daily work of coaches and athletes in combat s…
Tai Chi training can improve postural control
Characterization of kinesiological patterns of the frontal kick, mae-geri, in karate experts and non-karate practitioners
Presently, coaches and researchers need to have a better comprehension of the kinesiological parameters that should be an important tool to support teaching methodologies and to improve skills performance in sports. The aim of this study was to (i) identify the kinematic and neuromuscular control patterns of the front kick ( mae-geri ) to a fixed target performed by 14 experienced karate practitioners, and (ii) compare it with the execution of 16…
Formação de professores na perspectiva de uma educação culturalmente diversificada
O artigo é um convite à reflexão acerca da importância da formação de educadores na perspectiva de uma educação culturalmente diversificada voltada para sociedades caracterizadas não apenas pelas diversidade cultural e desigualdade social mas sobretudo, por possuírem uma herança escravista e colonial que a estrutura e às suas relações, como é o caso da sociedade brasileira. Trata-se de um dos mais importantes problemas que nos desafia a todos, pr…
