Perceção de fatores de risco e incidência de lesões em atividades de Via Ferrata: revisão narrativa

Publication . Torres, Diana; Fernandes, Renato; Oliveira, Rafael; Brito, João

A via ferrata é uma forma de escalar, tendo como objetivo a ascensão ou travessia feita de forma segura com recurso a equipamentos artificiais fixados nas rochas permanentemente, dispostos de maneira quase contínua ao longo do trajeto. O objetivo desta revisão visa reunir os estudos com maior pertinência realizados até ao momento na área das vias ferratas que abordem o conhecimento do risco e a perceção dos fatores por parte dos praticantes, como também, a ocorrência de acidentes que originam lesões e os seus possíveis mecanismos. O desenho metodológico utilizado na revisão foi de acordo com o método Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA). A pesquisa foi realizada a partir das palavras-chave ‘’via ferrata’’, “climbing”, ‘’injury’’ e “risk factors” na plataforma da B-On, tendo em conta os critérios de inclusão e exclusão para elegibilidade. Na revisão, destaca-se 2 artigos que abordam os modelos de absorção e os protocolos de teste para verificação dos dissipadores; 2 artigos que investigam a partir de questionários o conhecimento do risco na relação com a performance, como também, os comportamentos de risco durante as atividades; 1 artigo que relata a ocorrência de acidentes e/ou emergências médicas, com e sem ocorrência de lesões e os mecanismos que proporcionaram o acontecimento. As atividades de via ferrata estão em crescimento e consequentemente, torna-se evidente a necessidade de investigar esta nova forma de escalar. Contudo, continua a ser uma temática difícil de abordar, visto que os registos desta atividade recreativa e autónoma, ainda não são devidamente controlados por uma entidade.

Sprint performance determinants in high level young swimmers

Publication . Matos, Carolina L.; Conceição, Ana; Louro, Hugo; Neiva, Henrique P.; Sobreiro, Pedro; Viana, Bárbara L.; Marinho, Daniel A.

Background: Identifying and evaluating the variables that influence performance are essential for obtaining excellence in sport. Objective: This study aimed to identify which parameters have the most influence on the 50 meters freestyle time in young competitive swimmers. Methods: One hundred and eighty-four high-level swimmers (males, n=92: 14.60±0.56 years; females, n=92: 13.53 ± 0.54 years) with 468±66 FINA points in the 50 meters freestyle short course participated in this study. Age, height, body mass, wingspan, stroke rate, stroke length, stroke index, turning time (5 m + 10 m), horizontal jumping, and medicine ball throwing were assessed. The swimming performance was assessed in a 50 meters freestyle time trial at maximum speed in a 25 meters swimming pool. Multiple regression was performed to assess the relationship between one dependent variable (50 meters freestyle time) and independent variables. Results: The results showed significant differences between both the genders. In male swimmers, only the turning time and the horizontal jump were significant (r2 =0.8819; p<0.001), while females, besides the same variables, presented significant results in terms of height, body mass, stroke length, and stroke index (r2 =0.9013; p<0.01). Conclusion: In conclusion, in young male swimmers, the turning time and the horizontal jump contributed significantly to the 50 meters freestyle swimming performance, and in young female swimmers, the main contributors were the turning time, horizontal jump, height, body mass, stroke length, and stroke index.

Physical match performance of elite soccer players from the English Championship League and the English Premier League:The effects of opponent ranking and positional differences

Publication . Morgans, Ryland; Michele, Rocco Di; Ceylan, Ibrahim H.; Ryan, Ben; Haslam, Chris; King, Matthew; Zmijewski, Piotr; Oliveira, Rafael

This study aimed to examine physical match performance and the effects of opponent ranking and positional differences in both the English Championship League (ECL) and the English Premier League (EPL) over five consecutive seasons. Fifty-four professional outfield soccer players (average age 24.6±5.4 years, weight 76.6±6.9 kg, height 1.79±0.09 m) from an English club were involved. Physical data obtained with the 18 Hz GPS technology tracking system from 213 regular-season matchesspanning the complete 2018/19 to 2022/23 seasons were examined. The results showed that, considering the level of the opponent, total distance (TD), high-intensity distance (HSR), and the number of decelerations (DEC) significantly varied in both EPL and ECL(p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.05 respectively). Additionally, opponent level influenced sprint distances (Spr) and accelerations (ACC) in the EPL (p < 0.05, p < 0.05) but not in the ECL. The highest running metrics were noted when the team played against a high-ranked opponent. Concerning positional roles, more physical metrics were influenced by opponent level in the ECL (centre-backs (TD, ACC), full-backs (TD, DEC), centre midfielders (TD, HSR, Spr, DEC), attacking midfielders (TD, Spr, DEC), centre forwards (TD)) than in the EPL (centre midfielders (TD, HSR, DEC), attacking midfielders (TD, DEC), centre forwards (TD)). These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how players from different positions perform in elite soccer match-play against varying opposition rankings. Coaches may then tailor tactical approaches, positional, and individualized training regimens to address the specific physical demands associated with matches against different-ranked opponents.

Development and validation of a physical exercise training program for women diagnosed with Fibromyalgia “Pessoas com Fibra” (People with Fiber). A pilot study

Publication . Sousa, Mónica; MOUTÃO, JOÃO; Oliveira, Rafael; Alves, Susana

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that affects patients’ quality of life, leading to reduced physical activity levels. This problem can therefore be attenuated by promoting physical exercise training programs (PETP). The aim of this pilot study was to develop and validate a PETP, “Pessoas com Fibra”, designed to increase physical activity and improve the quality of life of women diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, aged between 30 and 60. The PETP was designed and validated by physical fitness specialists in accordance with Revised Guidelines for Reporting Criteria on the Development and Evaluation of Complex Health Interventions and the Consensus Guidelines on Physical Exercise Programme Reporting Model. It went through three phases: development, piloting and evaluation. This study presents an intervention proposal based on improving the participants' Fibromyalgia symptoms. “Pessoas com Fibra” program proposal presents suggestions for adaptation to the target population and exercises that can be replicated by professionals in the field of physical exercise and health.
