- A 16-week intervention on mood and life quality in elderly: testing two exercise programsPublication . R. R. Oliveira, Bruno; Matos, Isabelle Cavalcanti; Maranhão Neto, Geraldo; Rodrigues, Filipe; Monteiro, Diogo; Lattari, Eduardo; Machado, SergioThe purpose was to examine the effects of strength training program (STP) and multi-component training program (MTP) on mood states in physically active elderly. Thirty Brazilian elderly (female=21; male=9) aged between 65 and 75 years (66.94.1) with BodyMass Index (BMI) ranging from 25.6 to 31.0 kg/m2 (28.31.2), were enrolled for research. The elderly were randomly assigned into two groups: Strength Training Program (STP; age=66.74.4 years, BMI=28.21.3 kg/m2) and Multi-Component Program (MTP; age=67.13.9years, BMI=28.51.0 kg/m2). STP group performed three 1-hour sessions per week, working at a range of 3 sets, 8-10 repetitions, and 2-minute recovery between sets and exercises. MTP group performed two different types of exercise sessions: a) 50 minutes of Zumba©, followed by 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching exercises; b) 40 minutes of body-weight dynamic and static exercises, as well as agility and balance movements. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was applied to assess mood at baseline and post-intervention. No significant interaction or main effect for group and time was showed for six factors of the POMS. However, the magnitude-based inference showed that MTP is likely beneficial to reduce fatigue. On the other hand, MTP is possibly harmful to increase confusion and to reduce vigor when compared to STP. In practical terms, we can conclude that older people physically active seems to attain an adaptation in mood responses minimizing the additional effects of STP and MTP.
- Active Commuting: an opportunity to fight Both climate change and physical inactivityPublication . Figueiredo, Nuno; Rodrigues, Filipe; Morouço, Pedro; Monteiro, DiogoGlobal health, climate, and ecological conditions cannot be dissociated, and over the last decade, the impacts of climate change on health have been profoundly felt. In 2010, the transport sector has been responsible for the direct emission of 6.7 Gt of carbon dioxide (CO2), and these numbers are expected to double by 2050. Additionally, physical inactivity rates have been growing over the last years, with most individuals in developed countries still relying on their cars for daily transportation, despite the unexplored potential of daily commuting in the promotion of physical activity. Given the well-known link between chronic diseases and sedentary lifestyles, addressing both the upward tendency of public health costs and energy consumption obtained from fossil fuels can be, possibly, one of the greatest public health opportunities over the last century. In this paper, we explore the potential of active commuting as a contemporary approach to address both global issues, considering its benefits on several indicators of health, quality of life, and well-being, as well as environmental-friendly behaviors
- Adaptation and Validation of a Portuguese Version of the Sports Motivation Scale-II (SMS-II-P) Showing Invariance for Gender and Sport TypePublication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Pelletier, L.; Rocchi, M.; Cid, Luis; Teixeira, D.; Monteiro, D.In the present cross-sectional study, we adapted and examined the validity of a Portuguese version of the Sport Motivation Scale II (SMS-II-P) within a sample of 1148 Portuguese athletes (women ¼ 546, men ¼ 602) with a mean age of 18.45 years (SD ¼ 5.36), participating in a variety of sports (i.e., football, basketball, swimming, and athletics). We conducted confirmatory factor analysis, convergent and discriminant validity analysis, and multigroup analysis across participants’ sport type (team and individual) and gender. We also examined the correlations between the SMS-II-P behavioral regulations and basic psychological needs satisfaction. The results supported that the SMS-II-P had good psychometric properties and was invariant across gender and sport type. The scale demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity, and the subscales achieved adequate internal consistency. Correlations between the six types of regulation measured in the SMS-II supported the distinction between autonomous and controlled behavioral regulations, and the correlations between these subscales and other measures of autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction provided evidence of the self-determination continuum. Implications of this research for assessing Portuguese athletes and conducting future research are discussed.
- Análise comportamental da prática de exercício físico em adultos em contexto de ginásio ao longo de dois anosPublication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Macedo, Rita; Teixeira, Diogo; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, DiogoO objetivo deste estudo consistiu em analisar o comportamento dos praticantes de exercício físico ao longo de dois anos, considerando a sua frequência como preditor da frequência futura. Participaram neste estudo 4788 novos praticantes de exercício físico (feminino = 2556) com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 75 anos. Os acessos aos ginásios e health clubs foi recolhida com recurso aos sistemas eletrónicos dos ginásios. Os dados foram analisados com o recurso a um modelo de equações estruturais e um modelo de mediação em série. Relativamente à taxa de abandono e posteriormente exclusão da análise: 39% abandonaram a prática de exercício físico entre os primeiros seis meses (T1) e os seis meses seguintes (T2); 25% desistiu da prática entre T2 e os seis meses após um ano de prática regular (T3); e 10% abandonaram entre T3 e os seis meses após um ano e meio de prática regular (T4). De acordo com os resultados do modelo de equações estruturais, foram encontrados diversos efeitos diretos e indiretos significativos, sugerindo assim que T2 e T3 poderão ser mediadores entre o T1 e T4. De acordo com os resultados do modelo de mediação é possível observar que o efeito direto não é significativo. Os resultados mostram a existência de mediação total entre o período T1 → T4, dado o efeito indireto total ser significativo e superior ao efeito direto. Os indivíduos que praticam exercício físico pelo menos duas vezes por semana sem interrupção foram aqueles que demonstraram maior probabilidades em se manterem na prática após os dois anos de acompanhamento do comportamento.
- Analysis of the Effect of Different Physical Exercise Protocols on Depression in Adults: systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled TrialsPublication . Correia, Érica M.; Monteiro, Diogo; Bento, Teresa; Rodrigues, Filipe; Cid, Luis; Vitorino, Anabela; Figueiredo, Nuno; Teixeira, Diogo S.; Couto, NunoContext: Physical exercise (PE) is an effective treatment for depression, alone or as an adjunct. Objective: There is a lack of indicators regarding the frequency, intensity, duration, and type of physical exercise (PE). This study aims to synthesize and analyze the dose-effect of different PE protocols in adult subjects in the treatment of depression, based on the analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Data Sources: The search was conducted using Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library electronic databases. Study Selection: Studies with an exercise-based intervention published by December 31, 2021 were identified. RCTs and meta-analyses involving adults with depression were also included; 10 studies were selected, including a total of 956 subjects. Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Level of Evidence: Level 1. Results: Effect sizes were summarized using standardized mean differences (95% confidence interval) by effected randomized models. The results reinforce that exercise appears to be beneficial in improving depression among adults aged 18 to 65 years. Interventions lasting above 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity and group interventions seem to have a more significant effect on reducing depression. Studies have revealed that aerobic exercise, compared with resistance or flexibility, has a more positive effect on depression. Conclusion: PE can be a way to reduce depression and can be used as a possible adjunctive tool for pharmacological and/or alternative treatments. Considering the findings of this study, it is important that health professionals (eg, exercise physiologists, physicians, nurses, psychologists) promote the practice of PE as a complementary alternative and act early to prevent the worsening of depression.
- Assessing Need Satisfaction and Frustration in Portuguese Exercise Instructors: scale validity, reliability and invariance between genderPublication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Neiva, Henrique; Marinho, Daniel; Mendes, Pedro Duarte; Teixeira, Diogo; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, DiogoObjective: The aim of the present study was to validate the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale in Exercise for fitness instructors. Methods: Data from 477 exercise professionals (319 males, 158 females) was collected.Results: CFA supported the adapted and validated six-factor model: [χ2(237) = 1096.796, χ2/df= 4.63; B-S p < .001, CFI = .930, TLI = .918, SRMR= .0366, RMSEA = .079 (CI90% = .069, .089)], assessing satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs in Portuguese exercise professionals. Moreover, the analysis revealed acceptable composite reliability, and construct validity of the adapted version. Results revealed nomological validity, as well as invariance between male and female. No differences were found across latent means, and magnitude effects were trivial between gender. Conclusion: These results support the use of the adapted scale in exercise professionals, showing measurement invariance between gender. This scale is able to measure how exercise professionals experience satisfaction and frustration of basic needs when prescribing exercise to individuals in fitness context.
- Assessing the relationship between autonomy support and student group cohesion across Ibero-American countriesPublication . Moreno-Murcia, Juan Antonio; Huéscar Hernández, Elisa; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, Diogo; Rodrigues, Filipe; Teixeira, Diogo; M. López-Walle, Jeanette; Vergara-Torres, Argenis; Tristan, José; Gastélum-Cuadras, Gabriel; Guedea Delgado, Julio Cesar; Soto Peña, Juan Luis; Rentería, Iván; Vargas Vitoria, Rodrigo; Almonacid Fierro, Aquiles Alejandro; Valero-Valenzuela, Alfonso; Flandez, Jorge; Nodari Júnior, Rudy José; Fin, Gracielle; Calomeni, Mauricio Rocha; Martins de Souza, Divaldo; de Souza Santos, César AugustoTeacher-endorsed supporting behaviors present themselves as key influencers of student adaptive academic and social functions. The objective of this paper was twofold. First, this study sought to test a model in which student-perceived autonomy support was associated with group cohesion, considering the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation. Second, the current study examined the dimensionality of the model across five Western countries, namely Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. A convenience sample of 3033 college students (Mage = 21.51 ± SD = 3.71) were recruited for the analysis. The results revealed that perceived autonomy support was positively associated with needs satisfaction, being consequently associated with intrinsic motivation and, ultimately, with group cohesion. Additionally, a multigroup analysis revealed that the model was invariant across college students from the different countries. The current results are discussed around the promotion of teacher uses of autonomy-supportive behaviors fostering adaptive outcomes in students regarding positive social relations and that the cultures of Ibero-American countries are equivalent in this process.
- Assessment in sport and exercise psychology: considerations and recommendations for translation and validation of questionnairesPublication . Cid, Luis; Monteiro, Diogo; Teixeira, Diogo Santos; Evmenenko, Anastasiia; Andrade, Ana; Bento, Teresa; Vitorino, Anabela; Couto, Nuno; Rodrigues, FilipeTranslating and validating measurement instruments in sport and exercise psychology is not an easy task. Rather, it is a task that requires effort and time, for the process is not limited to a simple translation to translate words from one language to another, just in order to make valid and reliable measure. All researchers should be aware that the only proper way is to adopt rigorous and robust methodologies to conduct the process from the preliminary stage of translation to reaching the validation stage of the psychological variable. Only so is it possible to avoid creating fragile and inadequate psychological assessment instruments that can jeopardize the entire investigation to be held with its use. Thus, the main objective of this work is to promote reflection and discussion on the subject by presenting some considerations and recommendations about translation and validation of questionnaires for psychological assessment applied to sport and exercise domain.
- A avaliação do hábito em praticantes de exercício físico: testando a validade do self-report behavioral automaticity indexPublication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Cid, Luis; Forte, Pedro; Teixeira, Diogo; Travassos, Bruno; Monteiro, DiogoOs comportamentos habituais são repetidos inconscientemente, sem intenção. A medição precisa do hábito é crucial para ajudar os investigadores a desenvolver e aplicar um modelo teórico sobre o hábito, com uma medida empiricamente válida. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente estudo foi testar a validade e a fiabilidade do Self-Report Behavior Automaticity Index numa amostra Portuguesa praticante de exercício físico. Foram recolhidos dados de duas amostras independentes, com um total de 590 adultos (mulheres= 311; homens= 279). Realizou-se uma análise fatorial confirmatória do modelo de medida de quatro itens do Self-Report Behavior Automaticity Index e uma análise de invariância entre duas amostras independentes. Adicionalmente, foi testado um modelo de mediação de forma a analisar o papel mediador da frequência semanal de exercício físico entre a experiência passada e o hábito. O modelo de medida do Self-Report Behavior Automaticity Index demonstrou um ajustamento aceitável em cada uma das amostras e os coeficientes de fiabilidade compósita foram adequados. O modelo de medida revelou ser invariante entre amostras, acrescentando, por isso um maior suporte à sua validade para avaliar o comportamento habitual. A frequência do exercício medeia a relação entre a experiência e o desenvolvimento do hábito, acrescentando evidências à teoria do hábito
- Behavioral Regulation Sport Questionnaire: Gender and Sport Invariance in Portuguese AthletesPublication . Monteiro, Diogo; Teixeira, Diogo; Vitorino, Anabela; Moutão, João; Rodrigues, Filipe; Machado, Sérgio; Cid, LuisThis study aimed to analyze measurement invariance of the Behavioral Regulation Sports Questionnaire (BRSQ) across the gender and four different sports. In addition, we examined nomological validity via basic psychological needs satisfaction. Participants totaled 1,812 Portuguese athletes (1,220 males and 592 females; aged 15–59 years, Mage ¼ 17.72, SD ¼ 5.51) from football (n ¼ 596), basketball (n ¼ 273), swimming (n ¼ 800), and parasport (n ¼ 143). The BRSQ measurement model was invariant across the gender and these four sports. The scale confirmed nomological validity in that satisfaction of the basic psychological needs positively predicted autonomous forms of motivation and negatively predicted more controlled motivation and amotivation as suggested by self-determination theory. In light of this evidence for BRSQ construct validity, composite reliability, nomological validity, and invariance across the gender and four different sports, this scale is a useful tool for the coaches of the aforementioned sports in their efforts to evaluate their athletes’ motivation.
