  • Influence of Two Exercise Programs on Heart Rate Variability, Body Temperature, Central Nervous System Fatigue, and Cortical Arousal after a Heart Attack

    Open AccessCatarina Gonçalves, José A Parraca et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs' benefits are overall consensual; however, during exercise, progressive physiological effects have not been studied yet in cardiac patients. Our study aims to analyze physiological parameters of thermography, heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure, central nervous system (CNS) fatigue, and cortical arousal in heart attack patients (HA…

  • Benefits of Two 24-Week Interactive Cognitive–Motor Programs on Body Composition, Lower-Body Strength, and Processing Speed in Community Dwellings at Risk of Falling

    Open AccessHugo Rosado, Catarina Pereira et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    This 24-week randomized controlled trial study evaluated the effects of two interactive cognitive−motor programs on body composition, lower-body strength, and processing speed in community dwellings at risk of falling. Forty-eight participants (75.0 ± 5.4 years) were allocated into EG1 (psychomotor intervention program), EG2 (combined program (psychomotor intervention + whole-body vibration)), and a control group. EG programs induced significant …

  • The relationship between depression and risk of violence in portuguese community-dwelling older people

    Open AccessFelismina R P Mendes, Felismina Mendes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    The severity of depressive symptomatology plays an essential role in the risk of violence against community-dwelling older people. Moreover, it was found that older persons with depression symptomatology were at higher risk of being victims of violence. Our study findings support the need for protective measures within mental health national or regional policies to prevent depression and violence against community-dwelling older people

  • Can two multimodal psychomotor exercise programs improve attention, affordance perception, and balance in community dwellings at risk of falling? A randomized controlled trial

  • Creative dance associated with traditional Portuguese singing as a strategy for active aging

    Open AccessPaulo G Coelho, Paulo Coelho et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    The results suggest that the two types of programs studied may have different impacts on some of the variables investigated and support the design of future experimental studies that include interventions based on the combination of creative dance and traditional Portuguese singing

  • Relative Age Effect in Physical Fitness of South Portugal Students between 10 and 18 Years Old

    Open AccessHugo Folgado, Jorge Bravo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Relative age is a phenomenon broadly studied in sport sciences. Youth sports participants born earlier in the selection year tend to present a maturational advantage over their peers. As it is also dependent on physical performance, older physical education students may also benefit from this effect in this school subject. The main goal of this manuscript was to determine whether the relative age effect is present within physical fitness outcomes…

  • Aging safely in Alentejo – understanding for action - preventing falls and violence against older people

    Open AccessCatarina Pereira, Jorge Bravo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    In the ESACA project, a wide range of potential influencing factors on falls and violence risk factors were measured, and comprehensive quality control measures were applied. Overall, the results suggest that for falls and violence prevention strategies to be effective, it is essential to evaluate, diagnose, and inform all stakeholders in a directed and useful way. Moreover, we believe that our project outcomes may help change mindsets and behavi…

  • Development and validation of a continuous fall risk score in community-dwelling older people

    Open AccessJorge Bravo, Hugo Rosado et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The cFRs was shown to be a valid dynamic multifactorial fall risk assessment tool for epidemiological analyses and clinical practice. Moreover, the potential for the cFRs to become a widely used approach regarding fall prevention in community-dwelling older people was demonstrated, since it involves a holistic intrinsic-exposure approach to the phenomena. Further investigation is required to validate the cFRs with other samples since it is a samp…

  • Key factor cutoffs and interval reference values for stratified fall risk assessment in community-dwelling older adults

    Open AccessCatarina Pereira, Gonçalo Veiga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Assessment of community-dwelling older adults' fall risk should focus on the above outcomes to establish individual older adults' fall risk profiles. Moreover, the design of fall prevention interventions should manage a person's identified risks and take into account the determined cutoffs and respective interval values for fall risk stratification

  • Effects of two 24-week multimodal exercise programs on reaction time, mobility, and dual-task performance in community-dwelling older adults at risk of falling

  • Abdominal obesity in adolescents

    Open AccessJorge Bravo, Armando Raimundo et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2017

    Objectives The purpose of this study was to develop age‐ and sex‐specific waist circumference (WC) cut‐off points, linked to older adolescent and adult criteria for abdominal obesity, to be applied to children in the clinical setting. Methods A total of 16,788 adolescents aged 10 to 16 years were assessed for WC. Smoothed age and sex‐specific WC curves were obtained using Cole's LMS method. Results Percentiles that corresponded to the Internation…

  • Is low fertility really a problem? Population aging, dependency, and consumption

    Open AccessRonald D Lee, Ronald Lee et al.ARTICLEScience2014

    Longer lives and fertility far below the replacement level of 2.1 births per woman are leading to rapid population aging in many countries. Many observers are concerned that aging will adversely affect public finances and standards of living. Analysis of newly available National Transfer Accounts data for 40 countries shows that fertility well above replacement would typically be most beneficial for government budgets. However, fertility near rep…

  • Medios de comunicación en México

    Open AccessJorge Bravo, Jorge Miguel BravoARTICLERevista Mexicana de Ciencias…2013Cited by: 1

    Con base en la teoría autoritaria de la prensa de FredS. Siebert, el artículo analiza la actuación que desempeñan los medios de comunicación de masas en los regímenes autoritarios. El modelo teórico se aplica al sistema de medios mexicano en donde las instituciones mediáticas han guardado una estrecha relación simbiótica con el poder político y han sido un reflejo fiel de las estructuras de poder autoritarias imperantes. Asimismo, se examina el i…

  • Antecedents and outcomes of organizational support for development

    Maria L Kraimer, Sibila E Seibert et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Psychology2011

    This study examines antecedents and behavioral outcomes of employees' perceptions of organizational support for development. We first propose that employees' past participation in formal developmental activities and experience with developmental relationships positively relate to their perceptions of organizational support for development. We then propose that perceived career opportunity within the organization moderates the relationship between…

  • The Impact of Psychological Contract Breach on Work‐related Outcomes

    Open AccessHao Zhao, Stephen J Wayne et al.ARTICLEPersonnel Psychology2007

    A meta‐analysis was conducted to examine the influence of psychological contract breach on 8 work‐related outcomes. Breach was related to all outcomes except actual turnover. Based on affective events theory, we developed a causal model integrating breach, affect (violation and mistrust), attitude (job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intentions), and individual effectiveness (actual turnover, organizational citizenship behav…
