- Comparative Efficacy of Bodyweight and Free Weights Training on Shooting Strength in Roller HockeyPublication . Paiva, Eduardo; Afonso, Pedro; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Rodrigues, Pedro M.This study evaluated the impact of an 8-week training program on two groups of players, one performing free weights training and the other bodyweight training. The sample consisted of 14 athletes with a mean age of 22.6 years. Assessments of shooting strength were conducted before and after the program, measuring shot speed, acceleration, and strength. The free weights training included exercises with dumbbells and barbells, while the bodyweight training included squats, pushups, and planks. Sessions occurred twice a week, with gradual progress in the number of sets and repetitions. Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism software, with significance set at p<0.05. Data distribution was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and comparisons between pre-and post-intervention assessments were made with paired ttests. Results showed significant improvements in shot speed, acceleration, and strength in the free weights training group, while the bodyweight training group showed no significant changes. It was concluded that free weights training is more effective for improving shooting strength in roller hockey players.
- Observational Analysis in Basketball: A literature reviewPublication . Branquinho, Luís; Marques, Mário C.; Paiva, Eduardo; Reis, Tiago; Sousa, Ana Maria; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Ruzmetov, Nemat; Matos, Sérgio; Arede, Jorge; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Ferraz, RicardoTechnological instruments and methods for monitoring, observation, and analysis have become increasingly important for gaining insights into basketball performance. Thus, this literature review aimed to compile information about methods and instruments for observational analysis in Basketball. Previous studies have applied several valid methods for physiological, technical, and tactical analysis in Basketball, specifically: Instrument for evaluating individual technical-tactical performance in Basketball (IAD-BB); Team Sports Assessment Procedure (TSAP); Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI). Also, this type of analysis can be supported by time-motion analysis (TMA) analysis using analysis software with emphasis on Match Vision (software Studio 3.0, International Basketball Federation). In conclusion, the application of observation and analysis instruments in Basketball is valid, and repeatableObservational analysis can be applied in Basketball insights for talent identification; training design and management; technical and tactical performance analysis. Future challenges and research issues will be to compare observation strategies that combine instruments, integrating physical, technical, and tactical factors in Basketball performance analysis.
- Relationship between key offensive performance indicators and match running performance in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023Publication . Branquinho, Luís; França, Elias; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Paiva, Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Thomatieli-Santos, Ronaldo Vagner; Ferraz, RicardoFootball teams usually adopt different offensive playing styles to increase the probability of success. However, the strategy adopted can influence match-running performance. This study aimed to verify the relationship between the key indicators of offensive performance and match running performance in FIFA Women ' s World Cup 2023 (2023-WC). Thirteen key offensive performance indicators were collected from 64 matches (from 32 national teams) with a multi-camera optical tracking system (TRACAB Gen5, ChyronHego). Possession, line breaks completed, receptions in the final third and ball progressions were negatively related to distance covered. On the other hand, goals, total passes, and defensive line breaks were positively associated. K-means cluster analysis indicates that the team that outperformed the above variables was the one that was successful in the 2023-WC. Therefore, the superior performance of some variables, such as ball possession and progression, may prevent athletes from covering greater distances. Teams that make larger pass exchanges and make more breaks in defensive lines may be asked to run more. There are specific key offensive indicators that are related to match running performance. This information can be useful for coaches in choosing the strategy adopted.
- The relationship between training load, physical performance and physiological adaptations in Rugby football players: a systematic reviewPublication . Paiva, Eduardo; Valentim, Sérgio; Reis, Tiago; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Branquinho, Luís; Fortunato, Álvaro; Forte, PedroApplying appropriate training loads in accordance with the defined objectives promotes optimal physical and physiological adaptations, reduces the likelihood of illness and injury and, therefore, increases the possibility of success during Rugby. The aim of this review was to compile and systematise the information in the literature on the association between training load variables (internal and external) and performance outcomes in Rugby. As such, the main objective will be to conduct a systematic review of the published literature to identify the physical and physiological performance variables in Rugby sport to monitor the training load. Following the preferred reporting item for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) and PICOS approach, the search was adapted and conducted systematically only in the PubMed database, which, in itself, also restricts the search spectrum of the paper, thus conferring a limitation to the present academic work. The search was conducted in PubMed throughout the possible temporal spectrum since there is still little robustness in the literature about rugby sports performance. Articles were selected by pre-defined selection criteria, including observational, randomised clinical and clinical trial studies. After further screening, and based on the inclusion criteria of the papers, the result of the analysis of the relevance of the studies, the final set of analysis resulted in 16 articles. From the studies compiled in this review, there seems to be a strong correlation between the perceived exertion (RPE) and the prescription and definition of the training load applied in Rugby athletes. The RPE reflects the most used and analysed variable throughout all the studies. Several articles reflect a strong relationship between the training load, the inter-individual capacity of each athlete and their tolerance to the load (player load)
