- Literary Tourism: Literature Developments and Research Lines from 2015 to 2020Publication . Rodrigues, Cristina; Liberato, Dália; Esteves, Elsa Tavares; Sousa, Bruno; Liberato, Pedro; Costa, Adriano; Pereira, Carina; Malheiro, Maria Alexandra; Carvalho, PedroAlthough literary tourism is still an understudied field, the beneficial rela-tionship between tourism and literature is becoming very clear. Literary tourism involves the literary heritage of places, namely visits to sites related to literary works and the lives of writers. There are already some empirical studies that demonstrate the importance of this type of tourism as a guarantee of cultural enrichment of desti-nations and sustainable tourism practices. This tourism has begun to be explored in the development of tourism products and experiences, such as itineraries, or infras-tructures linked to literary heritage that increase the attractiveness and competitive-ness of destinations. This study analyzes literary tourism as a field of research and explores its state of the art through a bibliometric review that includes content anal-ysis. For this purpose, articles published in the period 2015–2020, identified in the Web of Science database, were analyzed. The results identify the main topics of these publications and their temporal analysis, the research methods and techniques applied, the case studies related to authors and works, also the geographies studied and some important insights on literary tourism that address different dimensions. Overall, this study provides a rich understanding of the contemporary study of literary tourism, in a particularly rich period in terms of scientific advances in this area, still under-expressed.
- Portuguese Football Federation consensus statement 2020: nutrition and performance in footballPublication . Abreu, Rodrigo; Figueiredo, Pedro; Beckert, Paulo; Marques, José P.; Amorim, Samuel; Caetano, Carlos; Carvalho, Pedro; Sá, Carla; Cotovio, Ricardo; Cruz, Joana; Dias, Tiago; Fernandes, Gonçalo; Gonçalves, Elton; Leão, César; Leitão, Alexandre; Lopes, João; Machado, Eduardo; Neves, Mónica; Oliveira, Andre Schneider; Pereira, Ana Isabel; Pereira, Bruno; Ribeiro, Fernando; Silva, Luís M.; Sousa, Filipe; Tinoco, Tânia; Teixeira, Vítor H.; Sousa, Monica; Brito, JoãoNutrition is an undeniable part of promoting health and performance among football (soccer) players. Nevertheless, nutritional strategies adopted in elite football can vary significantly depending on culture, habit and practical constraints and might not always be supported by scientific evidence. Therefore, a group of 28 Portuguese experts on sports nutrition, sports science and sports medicine sought to discuss current practices in the elite football landscape and review the existing evidence on nutritional strategies to be applied when supporting football players. Starting from understanding football's physical and physiological demands, five different moments were identified: preparing to play, match-day, recovery after matches, between matches and during injury or rehabilitation periods. When applicable, specificities of nutritional support to young athletes and female players were also addressed. The result is a set of practical recommendations that gathered consensus among involved experts, highlighting carbohydrates periodisation, hydration and conscious use of dietary supplements. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2021.
