- Comparison of external load measures per minute based on match seasonal periods and playing positions of a soccer Turkish super league teamPublication . Akyildiz, Zeki; Yüksel, Yılmaz; Birgonül, Yaşar; Ceylan, Halil İbrahim; Oliveira, Rafael; Çene, Erhan; Parim, Coskun; Clemente, Filipe Manuel; Nobari, HadiBackground Turkish Super League teams need more information about the external load. Considering the specific country and the coaches’ philosophies, the purpose of this study was to compare the external match load of a Turkish Super League team considering the different playing positions and in-season periods. Methodology A longitudinal study design was employed by observing 29 official matches of the same team. A total of fifteen players, consisting of five defenders, five midfielders, and five forwards, were analyzed using the Sentio Sports Optical Tracking System. The following outcomes were extracted in each match: total distance (TD), walking [from 0 to 7.2 km/h], jogging [from 7.2 to 14.4 km/h], running [from 14.4 to 20 km/h], high speed running (HSR) [>20 km/h], metabolic power (MP), maximum deceleration (Decmax) [Dec < -3 m/s2], total deceleration distance (Dectotal), maximum acceleration (Accmax) [Acc>3 m/s2], and total acceleration distance (Acctotal). Statistical analysis consisted of ANOVA and Bonferroni correction post hoc tests. Results The main results showed that all variables were similar between periods of the season (p>0.05) except for walking (p=0.021 witha large effect size), which revealed lower values in the mid-season period. When analyzing periods of the season considering playing positions, there were several significant results for TD, walking, jogging, running, HSR, Dectotal and Acctotal (p<0.05, with small to large effects). A tendency for higher values was noted in the mid and end-season. Considering the playing positions comparisons, midfielders showed higher values than defenders for TD, MP, Dectotal and Acctotal (p<0.05 with large effect for all). Midfielders also showed higher values than forwards for TD, jogging, Dectotal and Acctotal (p<0.05 with a large effect for all).Conclusions The present study emphasizes the significance of analyzing data based on minute, playing position, and season period. Findings reveal that defenders consistently displayed the lowest values in all external load measures during matches compared to other positions throughout the season. Furthermore, midfielders demonstrated a higher activity profile during the initial and middle stages of the season compared to other positions, with a slight tendency to decrease load towards the end of the season.
- Manual de avaliação morfofuncional de equinosPublication . Vicente, António; Faria, R.A.S.São necessárias informações para uma correta seleção e melhoramento de cavalos, sendo a morfologia preponderante, incidindo sobre o modelo/padrão de determinada raça e influenciando a biomecânica de cada animal. Existe uma lacuna de medidas morfológicas em cavalos, sendo reduzidas as informações quantitativas de várias regiões do corpo dos equinos. Os objetivos na criação de uma grande base de dados são, propor um total de 67 variáveis morfológicas a registar medidas em centímetros (cm) e obtenção de registo visual de cada equino por meio de fotografia com orientação na obtenção das medidas morfológicas, fita métrica e aplicação (App). As medidas (variáveis) morfológicas servem para obter a medida de cada animal e encontra o padrão morfológico de determinado grupo/coudelaria/proprietário de cavalos. Sendo possível no futuro com uma grande base de dados, determinar quais as medidas que apresentam uma correlação, e determinar um número menor de variáveis morfológica a registar. O registo de imagens (fotos) morfológicas de equinos através de tecnologia, irá permitir gravar o modelo de cada animal para uso posterior.
- Do contextual factors influence running and accelerometry GPS based variables in professional women soccer players? A case study about the effect of match location and resultPublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Ceylan, Halil İbrahim; Fernandes, Renato; Morgans, Ryland; Nobari, Hadi; Nalha, Matilde; Brito, JoãoThe aims of this study were to compare external match load between home and away matches as well as the result of the match (win, draw, and loss). The secondary aim was to quantify external training load that preceded the next match taking into account both match location and result. Ten elite women soccer players participated in the study (age 24.66 ± 2.3 years). Seven home and seven away matches in which four wins, three draws, and seven losses occurred. The following global positioning system (GPS) metrics were analyzed: duration, total distance, high-speed running distance (HSR, > 15 km/h), number of accelerations (ACC) and decelerations (DEC), average speed, and player load. There were no significant differences between match results and match locations. Regarding comparisons of training data preceding different match results, only duration and player load did not differ while HSR, number of ACC and DEC showed to be higher when the next match was a loss (p < 0.05, moderate to very large effect). Regarding comparisons of training data preceding different match locations, only duration, total distance, and player load did not differ while HSR, average speed, number of ACC and DEC in all zones were higher when the next match was at home (p < 0.05, moderate to very large effect). In conclusion, this study showed that match result and location did not have a significant effect on GPS metrics exhibited during match-day. However, training data influenced the contextual factors of the next match which should be considered when planning training session.
- 2nd International Congress on 21st Century Literacies: book of proceedingsPublication . Loureiro, Ana (ed.lit); Rocha, Dina (ed.lit.); Messias, Inês (ed.lit.); Oliveira, Nuno Ricardo (ed.lit.); Lopes, Rui (ed.lit.)The 2nd International Congress on 21st Century Literacies (ICCL2022) intends to promote literacy in different areas of knowledge as part of the right to education, as well as a foundation for individuals’ empowerment and inclusive development in low density and cross-borders territories, allowing a greater literacy of these populations, thus contributing to a positive differentiation of these territories. The ICCL2022 will provide an opportunity to rethink the fundamental importance of literacy as a booster to the development and integration of these populations in the challenges of the coming decades. Several themes will be addressed, namely: digital, financial, environmental, quantitative, scientific, and emotional literacies, as well as literacy in the fields of health and management, STEM, reading and libraries, cinema, media, education, and arts, but not limited to. The meeting will provide a forum for discussion and debate of ideas with interest to the scientific community in general. With this meeting new scientific collaborations among colleagues, namely new collaborations in master’s and PhD projects are expected.
