- Acompanhamento dos escalões de formação de Surf do Ericeira Surf Clube e o estudo do perfil de atividade dos atletas em prova no Allianz Ericeira PROPublication . Silva, Arnaldo Maria Gomes da; Teotónio, Telmo; Valadão, FilipeEste trabalho integra o estágio em Treino Desportivo de Surf no Ericeira Surf Clube e uma investigação sobre o perfil de atividade dos atletas no Allianz Ericeira PRO. O estágio visou a obtenção do grau de Mestre e do título profissional de Treinador Grau II, envolvendo orientação, planeamento e avaliação de sessões práticas (técnica, remada, posicionamento e manobras) e treino físico complementar, com adaptação individual e feedback contínuo. A investigação analisou quantitativamente heats de competição, segmentando eventos como remada, períodos estacionários e deslizes na onda, para caracterizar a distribuição temporal e a frequência das ações. Os resultados mostram predominância de longos períodos de espera e remada de posicionamento, intercalados por episódios curtos e intensos de sprint e deslize. Em conjunto, estágio e estudo fornecem evidência prática e empírica que apoia a planificação de treinos orientados para resistência específica, recuperação e capacidade explosiva, contribuindo para a preparação técnica, física e tática dos atletas.
- Active and sham transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) plus core stability on the knee kinematic and performance of the lower limb of the soccer players with dynamic knee valgus; two armed randomized clinical trialPublication . Samakosh, H.M.N; Maktoubian, M.; Doost, S.P.R.; Oliveira, Rafael; Badicu, G.; Al-Mhanna, S.B.; Hassanzadeh, M.; Amadekhiar, P.; Vaskasi, R.R.; Oliveira, RafaelDynamic knee valgus (DKV) is a prevalent risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in soccer players, particularly during noncontact mechanisms. Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) and core stability exercises have shown promise in enhancing motor control and biomechanical alignment, but their combined effects on DKV remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of active versus sham tDCS combined with core stability exercises on knee kinematic alignment and lower limb performance in young male soccer players with DKV. In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 42 male soccer players (aged 18–25 years) with DKV were randomly assigned to either an active tDCS group (n = 21) or a sham tDCS group (n = 21). Both groups underwent 8 weeks of core stability exercises (3 sessions/week, 30 minutes/session) preceded by 15 minutes of active (2 mA) or sham tDCS targeting the primary motor cortex (M1). The primary outcome was the frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) during a single-leg landing task, measured using 2D video analysis. Secondary outcomes included vertical jump height and 8-hop test time. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. A 2 × 2 mixed-model ANOVA with Bonferroni-corrected post hoc tests was used for statistical analysis via SPSS27. The active tDCS group showed significantly greater improvements in FPPA (+5.65% vs. +2.26%, p < 0.001, 𝜂p² = 0.82), vertical jump height (+25.30% vs. +10.45%, p < 0.001, 𝜂p² = 0.75), and 8-hop test time (−21.05% vs. −14.27%, p < 0.001, � �p² = 0.68) compared to the sham group. Both groups improved from baseline, but the active tDCS group exhibited larger effect sizes across all outcomes. Active tDCS combined with core stability exercises significantly enhanced knee kinematic alignment and lower limb performance in soccer players with DKV compared to sham tDCS. These findings suggest that neuromodulation, when paired with targeted exercise, is a promising strategy for injury prevention and performance enhancement in athletes. Further research is needed to explore long-term effects and applicability to diverse populations.
- Analytical and Ecological Approaches to Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditioning in FootballPublication . Morgans, Ryland; Oliveira, Rafael; Oliveira, Rafael; Silva, Rui; Beato, Marco; Bishop, Chris; Turner, AnthonyResearch in professional football has shown that the physical demands of competitive match-play have substantially increased over the last few decades (Carling et al., 2016) as well as the training demands (Oliveira et al., 2022). As such, the role of support staff has developed to provide theoretical, scientific, and practical support to the manager in a variety of areas. These include performance analysis, strength and conditioning, and the integration of technical and tactical elements. The role of fitness and conditioning staff is to have knowledge of scientific literature and analyze performance data to condition and recover players appropriately to deal with the ever-evolving demands of elite football competition.
- Are there optimal strength training methods for soccer players? A narrative review of methodological and practical implications.Publication . Pillitteri, G.; Clemente, F.M.; Moran, J.; Oliveira, Rafael; Silva, R.; Sarmento, H.; Puleo, G.; Bongiovanni, T.; Petrucci, M.; Rodríguez, A.; Battaglia, G.; Bianco, A.Strength training is essential for enhancing performance and preventing injuries in soccer. This narrative review explores the complexities of strength training for soccer players, structured around three key areas: (i) the classification and definition of different strength expressions, (ii) the role of the force–velocity continuum in soccer-specific power development, and (iii) the tailored strength methodologies required across different phases of the season. The aim is to clarify how distinct strength qualities align with the physical and performance demands of soccer. The review synthesizes current evidence on the effects of different strength training strategies on key athletic outcomes, highlighting the relevance of explosive methods during the in-season and the foundational role of traditional strength training during the off-season. By integrating theoretical concepts with applied perspectives, the review proposes a conceptual framework that provides evidence-informed recommendations to support practitioners in designing safe, effective, and context-specific training programs for soccer players across developmental stages and competitive schedules. Future research should focus on improving the methodological quality and consistency of intervention studies, clarifying dose–response relationships, and examining the transfer of specific strength qualities to match-related performance outcomes across different age groups and competition levels

- 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.
- Comparison of external load during differing microcycle structures across two competitive seasons in elite female portuguese soccer playersPublication . Espada, Mário C.; Santos, Fernando J.; Nalha, Matilde; Zmijewski, Piotr; Morgans, Ryland; Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João Paulo; FERNANDES, RENATOThis study aimed to: (i) compare the accumulated load between three and four training sessions per week plus a match across two consecutive seasons in elite female soccer players, and (ii) compare the training/match ratio (TMr) of external load. Data from 10 players in each season were analysed during the study period. The microcycle structure of the first season included three training sessions (3dW) and a match per week, while the second season included four training sessions (4dW) plus a match per week. The following measures were used for analysis: duration, total distance, high-speed running distance (HSR,>15 km/h), number of accelerations (ACC,>1–2 m.s−2 [ACC1];>2–3 m.s−2 [ACC2];>3 4 m.s−2 [ACC3];>4m.s−2 [ACC4]) and decelerations (DEC,<1–2m.s−2 [DEC1]; <2–3 m.s−2 [DEC2];< 3–4 m.s−2 [DEC3];< 4m.s−2 [DEC4]). The accumulated load was calculated by summing key metrics for all training sessions and matches, while TMr was calculated by dividing the accumulated load by match data. The main results showed that all variables showed meaningful differences (p<0.05) except for ACC4 and DEC4. Specifically, total distance was higher in 3dW than 4dW (p=0.007), while the remaining variables were higher during 4dW. Moreover, all TMr were higher in 4dW than 3dW (p<0.001 for all variables except for ACC4 and DEC4). As expected, this study showed that adding one training session per week increased accumulated load and TMr for several key variables.
- Comparisons of running and accelerometry based measures between playing positions in touch rugby. A case study of an amateur male teamPublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Nalha, MatildeBackground: The main objective of the present study was to quantify the external load of the games that belong to a national tournament by comparing playing positions. A secondary objective consisted in comparing the match-to-match variations. Methods: Fourteen players (four links, four middles and six wings) were included (age: 39.36 ±5.83 years; body mass index: 26.65 ± 4.13). Participants were monitored during a tournament. ThroughGpexepro2, thefollowingmeasureswerecollectedandrelativized per minute: total distance, forward distance, backward distance, zone 1 (0–1.50 m/s), zone 2 (1.50–3.00 m/s), zone 3 (3.00–4.00 m/s), zone 4 (4.00–5.50 m/s), zone 5 (5.50 7.00 m/s)andzone6(>7.00m/s),thenumberofaccelerationsanddecelerations, impacts and jumps. The absolute values of maximal speed, maximal acceleration speed and maximal deceleration speed were also used for analysis. Results: The main findings showed meaningful higher values of zone 4 (16.18 ± 1.89 vs. 5.56 ± 3.53), zone 5 (2.91 ± 0.81 vs. 0.38 ± 0.38), zone 6 (0.35 ± 0.24 vs. 0.00 ± 0.00), deceleration (0.56 ± 0.21 vs. 0.19 ± 0.12), maximal speed (23.56 ± 1.90 vs. 18.84 ± 1.24) and forward distance (102.20 ± 13.45 vs. 67.42 ± 17.40) for middles than wings (p < 0.05), with large to very large effect sizes. In addition, no differences were found when comparing external load data from all matches. Conclusions: The findings of this study showed a clear tendency of higher values for middles than links and wings which provides a deeper understanding of the positional activity profile of an Amateur Portuguese team allowing practitioners to adjust training with the common external load experienced in a tournament. Moreover, the analysis of match-to-match comparison revealed no differences through the competition day, which means a proper fatigue management.
- Constrangimentos da tarefa e padrão de drible em crianças de 6 a 8 anosPublication . Silveira, Beatriz Alexandre Rocha; Mercê, Cristiana Isabel André Leal; Catela, David Paulo RamalheiraO desenvolvimento do drible parado no basquetebol resulta da interação entre constrangimentos do indivíduo, da tarefa e do envolvimento. Quando crianças sem experiência exploram o drible, ajustes nas propriedades das bolas (peso, diâmetro e pressão/ressalto) podem facilitar a emergência de padrões de contacto mais maduros e maior estabilidade no controlo da bola, em linha com o modelo dos constrangimentos de Newell. O presente estudo analisou o efeito do tipo de bola no padrão de drible parado em crianças dos 6 aos 8 anos (7,11±0,99; N = 28), registando para cada bola em análise (i.e., basquetebol, voleibol, rítmica 17 cm, e rítmica 21 cm) o número de dribles consecutivos e os estádios de prestação e de contacto com a bola (grelhas observacionais), e recolhendo a cotação total do DCDQ-7 (perceção adulta da coordenação motora). Os resultados mostraram que certas bolas. sobretudo a de voleibol, favorecem transições para contacto intermédio/maduro e maior número de dribles, sugerindo um efeito facilitador do constrangimento da tarefa. Observou-se ainda consonância entre coordenação motora percebida (DCDQ-7) e estádio de prestação/contacto, indicando que crianças com menor coordenação tendem a permanecer em estádios imaturos e podem beneficiar proporcionalmente mais de bolas com propriedades facilitadoras. Conclui-se que a seleção criteriosa de bolas constitui uma estratégia pedagógica inclusiva para a aprendizagem do drible parado, capaz de atenuar diferenças de desempenho associadas à coordenação motora percebida. A idade cronológica, por si só, mostrou-se pouco sensível para orientar a aquisição, devendo ser complementada por observação qualitativa e da coordenação motora (DCDQ-7).
