- Characteristics of physical exercise programs and their effects on quality of life and functional capacity in Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a scoping review.Publication . Ceylan, Halil; Soares, Maria de Brito; Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Vasconcelos, Tiago; Alves, Susana; Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João Paulo; MOUTÃO, JOÃOBackground and Objectives: Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often exhibit some degree of intolerance to physical exercise and several limitations in daily activities. Therefore, the objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review on the characteristics—frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT)—and the effects of exercise programs on quality of life and functional capacity in individuals with COPD. Materials and Methods: The present review included 21 studies that were scoping-reviewed to describe their main findings and training characteristics. Results: The participants across studies ranged in age from ~39 to 76 years with mild to very severe COPD stages. The results showed that, among all studies, eleven used cardiorespira tory training (e.g., walking or cycling), five used strength training (e.g., exercises with elastic bands or traditional resistance training), and five implemented combined training (i.e., cardiorespiratory and strength exercises). Conclusions: Overall, all training protocols improved aerobic capacity (cardiorespiratory training), strength (resistance training), and both capacities together (combined training). In conclusion, this review provided com plementary insights to existing exercise prescription guidelines, particularly concerning cardiorespiratory, strength, and combined training in individuals with COPD. However, the methodologies of the training protocols varied widely, and detailed descriptions of FITT components were often incomplete or lacking clarity, especially regarding the specific exercises used. Future research should include more comprehensive spirometry variables such as forced expiratory volume 1 or forced vital capacity, as these are critical for deter mining COPDstages. Thus, there is a clear need for more high-quality research with robust methodological design in the context of exercise interventions for individuals with COPD.
- In-season Microcycle Quantification of Professional Women Soccer Players – External, Internal and Wellness Measures.Publication . Fernandes, Renato; Ceylan, Halil; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Brito, João Paulo; Martins, Alexandre; Nobari, Hadi; Reis, Victor; Oliveira, RafaelAlthough there is already some knowledge about the intensity in the women's football match, the knowledge about training is still scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify external (locomotor activity) and internal (psychophysiological) intensities, as well as the wellness profile of the typical microcycle from professional female soccer players during the 2019/20 in-season. Ten players (24.6 ± 2.3 years) from an elite Portuguese women soccer team participated in this study. All variables were collected in 87 training session and 15 matches for analysis from the 2019-20 in-season. Global positioning variables such total distance, high-speed running, acceleration, deceleration and player load were recorded as intensity while Rated Perceived Exertion (RPE) and session-RPE were recorded as internal measures. The Hooper Index (HI) was collected as a wellness parameter. The results showed that internal and external intensity measures were greater in matches compared to trainings during the week (match day minus [MD-], MD-5, MD-4, MD-2), p<0.05 with very large effect size (ES). In the same line, higher internal and external intensity values were found in the beginning of the week while the lowest values were found in MD-2 (p0.05). This study confirmed the highest intensity values during MD and the lowest on the training session before the MD (MD-2). Moreover, higher training intensities were found in the beginning of the training week sessions which were then reduced when the MD came close. Wellness parameters showed no variation when compared to intensity measures. This study confirmed the hypothesis regarding internal and external intensity but not regarding wellness.
- Within- and between-mesocycle variations of well-being measures in top elite soccer players: a longitudinal studyPublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Ceylan, Halil; Martins, Alexandre; Brito, João; Nalha, Matilde; Mendes, Bruno; Clemente, Filipe ManuelThe aim of this study was two-fold: (a) to describe the in-season variations of training monotony (TM), training strain (TS), and acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR) through fatigue, stress, muscle soreness and sleep quality; (b) to compare those variations between player status and player positions. Seventeen professional players from an European First League team participated in this study. Regarding player status, participants were divided in two groups: starters (n=9), and non-starters (n=8). Additionally, they were divided according to player positions: four central defenders, three wide defenders, four central midfielders, three wide midfielders, and three strikers. They were monitored daily over a 40-week period of competition through the Hooper index. Then, TM, TS, and ACWR were calculated for each Hooper index categories, respectively. Data were analysed across ten mesocycles (M: 1 to 10). Results revealed variations over the season with respect for both player status and positions. There was a tendency of higher values for all TM, TS, and ACWR calculated from Hooper categories, for starters compared to non-starters. Regarding player positions, there were variations over the season but only significant differences in stress between wide defenders vs central midfielders for monotony (p=0.033, ES=5.16) and central defenders vs wide defenders for ACWR (p=0.044, ES=4.95), and in sleep between wide defenders and strikers for TM (p=0.015, ES= 5.80). The present study showed that a comprehensive analysis of players' wellness parameters can provide clear information to the coaches tp complement training monitoring of the players.
