Alesi, Marianna; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Borrego, Carla Chicau; Monteiro, Diogo; Genchi, Rosario; Polizzi, Valentina; Kirkar, Musa; Demetriou, Yolanda; Brame, Judith; Sahin, Fatma; Kizilyalli, Meltem; Gómez-López, Manuel; López Sánchez, Guillermo Felipe; Pajaujiene, Simona; Indriuniene, Vinga; Rada, Ante; Bianco, Antonino
- Cognitive and physical cctivity-related aspects of children associated to the performance of the crunning movementPublication . Thomas, Ewan; Alesi, Marianna; Tabacchi, Garden; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Sturm, David J.; Şahin, Fatma Neşe; Güler, Özkan; Gómez-López, Manuel; Pajaujiene, Simona; Basile, Michele; Rada, Ante; Palma, Antonio; Bianco, AntoninoThe aim of this investigation was to identify possible related factors associated to the performance of the crunning test in European children and adolescents. A total number of 559 children and adolescents (age range 6–14 years) of which 308 boys (55.1%) and 251 girls (44.9%), from seven European countries, were screened. A questionnaire concerning demographic and personal life-related factors and a cognitive assessment were performed. A regression analysis was conducted with the performance measures of the crunning movement. T-tests and ANCOVA were used to analyze sub-group differences. Boys have greater crunning performance values compared to girls (5.55 s vs. 7.06 s, p < 0.001) and older children perform better than younger ones (R2 0.23; p < 0.001). Children with healthy and active habits (exercising or spending time with family members vs. reading or surfing the internet) performed better in the test. Children engaged in team sports had better crunning performances compared to those engaged in individual sports (6.01 s vs. 6.66 s, p = 0.0166). No significant association was found regarding cognitive-related aspects in either children engaged in team or individual sports and the crunning performance. Older and male children performed better in the crunning test than younger and female children. Physical activity-related aspects of children’s life are associated with crunning movement performance. No association was found between higher cognitive performance and the crunning test results.
- Disentangling the effects of ego and task-involving climate perceptions on cohesion in youth sportPublication . Borrego, Carla Chicau; Monteiro, Diogo; Benson, Alex J.; Miguel, Mauro; Teixeira, Eduardo; Silva, Carlos Manuel MarquesThe present study evaluated how the combination of ego- and task-involving climate perceptions related to youth soccer athletes’ perceptions of team cohesion. We hypothesized that athletes would perceive their group to be less cohesive as ego climate perceptions increased in salience relative to task climate perceptions. In addition, the factor structure and longitudinal measurement invariance of Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire (YSEQ)—Portuguese version was also analyzed. A total of 956 national level youth male soccer athletes’ belonging to 49 different teams participated in the study. Using a prospective design with two time points, the polynomial regression with a response surface analysis indicated that the effect of an ego-involving climate on task cohesion varied as a function of task-involving climate perceptions. Specifically, athletes reported lower levels of task cohesion as ego-involving climate perceptions began to predominate over task-involving climate perceptions. Furthermore, a strong taskinvolving climate buffered against the negative effects of ego-involving climate perceptions on task cohesion. Regarding social cohesion, we only observed a positive linear association between task-involving climate perceptions and social cohesion. Our findings support the validity and reliability of two factors underlying the YSEQ and its longitudinal invariance across time in an elite youth sample. Future studies should strive to replicate these results in other sports and with female athletes. Our results provide insight into how task-involving and ego-involving climate perceptions combine to shape how elite youth athletes view their group environment.
- Efeitos de mediação do comportamento na relação entre a personalidade e o rendimento académicoPublication . Teques, Pedro; Silva, Carlos Manuel MarquesO propósito do presente estudo foi avaliar a capacidade do Modelo dos Cinco Fatores de personalidade para predizer o rendimento académico de alunos da Escola Superior de Desporto de Rio Maior – Instituto Politécnico de Santarém. Os resultados demonstraram que a conscienciosidade é um fator preditor do rendimento académico. Foi ainda aplicado um modelo de mediação e os resultados demonstraram que o comportamento de assiduidade é o principal preditor do rendimento académico e medeia totalmente a relação entre a conscienciosidade e o rendimento académico. As implicações dos resultados foram discutidas e apresentadas algumas recomendações para a prática de intervenção.- The purpose of this study was to assess the Five Factor Model of personality for predicting academic performance of students in the port Science School of Rio Maior - Polytechnic Institute of Santarém. The results showed that conscientiousness is a predictor of academic performance. It was also applied a model of mediation and the results showed that the behavior of attendance is the main predictor of academic performance and fully mediates the relationship between conscientiousness and academic performance. The implications of the results were discussed and some recommendations for practice intervention.

- Field-based tests for the assessment of physical fitness in children and adolescents practicing sport: a systematic review within the ESA programPublication . Tabacchi, Garden; Lopez Sanchez, Guillermo F.; Nese Sahin, Fatma; Kizilyalli, Meltem; Genchi, Rosario; Basile, Michele; Kirkar, Musa; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Loureiro, Nuno; Teixeira, Eduardo; Demetriou, Yolanda; Sturm, David Joseph; Pajaujene, Simona; Zuoziene, Ilona J.; Gómez-López, Manuel; Rada, Ante; Pausic, Jelena; Lakicevic, Nemanja; Petrigna, Luca; Feka, Kaltrina; Ribeiro, Ana; Alesi, Marianna; Bianco, AntoninoHigh levels of physical fitness (PF) can positively affect both health and cognitive function, thus monitoring its levels in youth can help increase health and quality of life in adult populations later on. This systematic review aims to identify PF field-based tests used in young European populations practicing sport to find tools that are adequate for the considered target involving a new battery within the Enriched Sport Activities (ESA) project. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was followed. In the 83 identified articles, the main tests used were: vertical/horizontal jumps (for muscular strength/power); pushups, running at maximum effort, sit-ups (for muscular strength/endurance); multistage nonintermittent and intermittent tests (for aerobic endurance); sit and reach (for flexibility); sprinting and agility T-tests (for speed and agility, respectively); 10 × 5 m shuttle run (SR) (for both speed and agility). Few studies assessed coordination, reaction time, power, and balance. Although the selected tests are widely used and validated, they do not determine all PF aspects and do not reflect sport-specific features.A final decision was made for the inclusion of the following tests: standing broad jump, seated medicine ball throw, 20 m SR test, 30 m sprint, Illinois test, and a new test, i.e., the crunning test, to assess different skill-related components at once. The use of this combination of tests allows for the assessment of all PF components and can help planning effective training programs and cultivate sporting talent.
- Intervención directa mediante biofeedback, para cambiar las conductas de desanimo de un portero de fútbolPublication . Estrada Contreras, Omar; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Borrego, Carla Chicau; Pérez Córdoba, Eugenio Antonio; Cantón Chirivella, EnriqueThe aim of this work is to describe an intervention which sought to modify the behavior of a goalkeeper in relation to the errors he committed, after receiving a goal, he became disheartened, and could not stop concentrating on the error committed. This attention paid to the error committed delayed a return to having adequate behavior in order to fulfil his function in the game. This intervention was carried out through biofeedback, techniques of emotional control and techniques to manage attention and concentration. Given that the intervention was carried out on an eighteen year old goalkeeper, at the request of the trainer, a study of a unique case was used. In accordance with the descriptive results, an improvement in attention and concentration was found as there was a proximity to 5 µv on beta waves and there was an increase in direct punctuation of concentration in the data of the Toulouse-Piéron test. An improvement in emotional control was also found through biofeedback, as there was an increase in the stimulating response to skin. Finally, a change in the goalkeeper’s conduct after the errors was registered, as there was a decrease in the discouraging conducts and an increase in the adequate conducts.
- Motivational Climate Sport Youth Scale: Measurement invariance across gender and five different sportsPublication . Monteiro, Diogo; Borrego, Carla Chicau; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Moutão, João; Marinho, Daniel; Cid, LuisThe aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Motivational Climate Sport Youth Scale (MCSYSp) and invariance across gender and different sports (swimming, soccer, handball, basketball, futsal). A total of 4,569 athletes (3,053 males, 1,516 females) from soccer (1,098), swimming (1,049), basketball (1,754), futsal (340), and handball (328) participated in this study, with ages between 10 and 20 years (M = 15.13; SD = 1.95). The results show that the original model (two factors/12 items) did not adjust to the data in a satisfactory way; therefore, it was necessary to change the model by removing four items (two from each factor). Subsequently, the model adjusted to the data in a satisfactory way (χ² = 499.84; df = 19; χ²/df = 26.30; p < .001; SRMR = .037; TLI = .923; CFI = .948; RMSEA = .074; IC90% .069–.080) and was invariant by gender and team sports (soccer, handball, basketball, futsal) (∆CFI≤.01); however, it was not invariant between swimming and team sports (soccer, handball, basketball, futsal) (∆CFI ≥ .01). In conclusion, the MCSYSp (two factors/eight items) is a valid and reliable choice that is transversal not only to gender, but also to the different studied team sports to measure the perception of the motivational climate in athletes. Future studies can research more deeply the invariance analysis between individual sports to better understand the invariance of the model between individual and team sports.
- Perceptions of Parenting Practices and Psychological Variables of Elite and Sub-Elite Youth AthletesPublication . Teques, Pedro; Calmeiro, Luis; Rosado, António; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Serpa, SidónioDrawing from the model of parental involvement in sport, the overall purpose was to examine the associations of perceptions of parenting practices (encouragement, reinforcement, instruction, and role modeling) and athletes’ psychological variables (self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, self-regulation, and intrinsic motivation) of elite and sub-elite youth athletes. Participants were elite (n = 210) and sub-elite (n = 635) athletes aged between 14 and 18 years (Mage = 16.58, SD = 1.33). Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that young elite athletes’ perceptions of sport-related parenting practices are associated with their psychological skills and performance level in sport. Specifically, in comparison with their sub-elite peers, perceptions of parental encouragement had a significantly different strong effect on intrinsic motivation. Moreover, perceptions of parental modeling revealed different effects on performance level, as well as on intrinsic motivation, and self-regulation. These perceptions of parenting practices may promote a positive learning environment, resulting in an increased likelihood of achieving a high level of sport performance in comparison with their sub-elite peers.
