Effects of a similar amount of regular non-structured or competitive physical activity across late adulthood
Regular physical exercise of about 6,000 METs/week seems to have a beneficial effect on health-related parameters, both in non-structured and competitive PA, when compared to sedentary behaviour. However, the older adults engaged in competitive training exhibit further advantages: better body composition, higher arm and leg muscle strength, and higher leg VO 2max . This study highlights the importance of encouraging active lifestyles for maintain…
Gross motor coordination in relation to weight status
Introduction: Gross Motor Coordination (GMC) is crucial for the adequate development of motor competence. Our purpose in this semi-longitudinal study was to evaluate the influence of BMI on GMC in children and pre-adolescents of both sexes, across school years (classes). Methods: We evaluated 117 subjects (aged 8-13 years) belonging to three different cohorts for 4 consecutive years, providing data over 6 years (classes). GMC was assessed through…
A Scientific Perspective on Reducing Ski-Snow Friction to Improve Performance in Olympic Cross-Country Skiing, the Biathlon and Nordic Combined
Of the medals awarded at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, 24% were for events involving cross-country skiing, the biathlon and Nordic combined. Although much research has focused on physiological and biomechanical characteristics that determine success in these sports, considerably less is yet known about the resistive forces. Here, we specifically describe what is presently known about ski-snow friction, one of the major resistive forces. To…
Post-Exercise Hypotension and Reduced Cardiac Baroreflex after Half-Marathon Run
We examined whether trained women exhibit similar cardiovascular and cardiac baroreflex alterations after a half-marathon compared to men. Thirteen women (39.1 ± 9.3 years; 165 ± 6 cm; 58.2 ± 7.5 kg; maximal aerobic speed (MAS): 13.7 ± 2.2 km·h -1 ) and 12 men (45.7 ± 10.5 years; 178 ± 7 cm; 75.0 ± 8.3 kg; MAS: 15.8 ± 2.2 km·h -1 ) ran an official half-marathon. Before and 60-min after, cardiovascular variables, parasympathetic (heart rate variab…
Talent Development in Young Cross-Country Skiers
Introduction: Very little is known about talent development and selection processes in young cross-country skiers.Aim: (1) to analyze the effect of age on anthropometric and physiological parameters in medium-to-high level cross-country skiers during the late teenage period; (2) to describe parameters' trend in selected talents after the late teenage period; (3) to define which characteristics during the late teenage period could discriminate aga…
Grooming and the Expectation of Reciprocation in Mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx)
Grooming in mandrills and the time frame of reciprocal partner choice
In this study, we examined the time frame of reciprocal partner choice in the grooming interactions of captive mandrills ( Mandrillus sphinx ) in order to test the hypothesis that the cognitive limitations of primates constrain the occurrence of reciprocation to short time intervals. In contrast to this hypothesis, mandrills groomed preferentially those individuals that groomed them more even when cases of immediate reciprocation were excluded fr…
O discurso do gestor federal no processo de descentralização política
Trata-se de uma análise do discurso realizada sobre a Norma Operacional Básica do Sistema Único de Saúde - NOB-SUS 01/96, com o objetivo de localizar no seu enunciado sinais que permitissem a identificação das correntes de pensamento que influenciaram a política de saúde priorizada pelo gestor federal nos primeiros anos do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A autora distingue uma peculiaridade do gênero de discurso adotado na portaria ministerial: sua…
