Inter rater reliability of practical assessment criteria for aquatic literacy in children
Junior university
The Universidade Júnior (U.Jr.) program, initiated by the University of Porto (U.Porto), Portugal, is a comprehensive educational initiative conducted during the summer months, primarily targeting the 10–18 age group. The program aims to promote science, technology, arts, humanities, and sports knowledge among elementary and secondary-level students and to influence their vocational choices and higher education aspirations. The study analyses the…
Young Swimmers’ Middle-Distance Performance Variation within a Training Season
The current study aimed to longitudinally evaluate anthropometric, physiological, and biomechanical variables related to middle-distance performance during a 45-week swimming training season. Thirty-four swimmers (age: 12.07 ± 1.14 years) performed a maximum of 400 m front crawl at the beginning (T1) and finish of the first macrocycle (T2, 15 weeks) and the finish of the second (T3, 18 weeks) and third macrocycles (T4, 12 weeks). Time-related var…
In-Water and On-Land Swimmers’ Symmetry and Force Production
Although performance and biomechanical evaluations are becoming more swimming-specific, dryland testing permits monitoring of a larger number of performance-related variables. However, as the degree of comparability of measurements conducted in-water and on land conditions is unclear, we aimed to assess the differences between force production in these two different conditions. Twelve elite swimmers performed a 30 s tethered swimming test and fou…
A Biophysical Analysis on the Arm Stroke Efficiency in Front Crawl Swimming
Purpose : to compare different methods to assess the arm stroke efficiency (? F ), whenswimming front crawl using the arms only on the Measurement of Active Drag System (MADSystem) and in a free-swimming condition, and to identify biophysical adaptations to swimming onthe MAD System and the main biophysical predictors of maximal swimming speed in the 200 mfront crawl using the arms only (? 200 m ). Methods : fourteen swimmers performed twice a 5 …
The matrix approach to mental health care
This article reports on the experience of a matrix approach to mental health in primary health care. Professionals who work in the Family Health Support Nuclei, Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família, pointed to challenges of this approach, especially regarding the difficulties of introducing pedagogic actions in the health field and problems related to work relationships. As the matrix approach and its practice are new aspects of the Brazilian Unif…
