- Agreement Between a Wristwatch and a Free Optical Sensor with a Chest Strap in Measuring HR Variations During Front Crawl SwimmingPublication . Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Silva, Vasco; Pereira, Ana; Morais, Gonçalo; Sokołowski, Kamil; Strzała, Marek; Morais, J. E.; Teixeira, José EduardoWearables with optical sensors for heart rate (HR) measurement are widely available in the market. However, their accuracy in water is still underexplored. The aim of the present study was to test the agreement of two different devices for HR monitoring with a chest strap while swimming at different intensities. Twenty male and ten female subjects (mean 19.6 ± 0.7 years old, 173.3 ± 5.4 cm, and 67.1 ± 6.6 kg) performed an intermittent progressive protocol of 3 × 30 s tethered front crawl swimming followed by a 1 min rest period. A chest strap, a wristwatch, and a multi-site optical sensor placed at the temple were used simultaneously. A strong association, an excellent intra-class correlation, and a low mean bias were denoted (R2 = 0.85, ICC = 0.94, b = −1) between HRchest vs. HRtemple. Both indicators increased throughout the test, denoting an increase in accuracy from light to vigorous exercise intensity. HRchest and HRwatch showed a moderate association for the whole test (R2 = 0.23) but a weak association, a poor consistency, and a high mean bias stepwise (0.01 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.06, 0.03 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.42, −48.1 ≤ b≤ −16.1). During swimming, the HR values from the temple showed a better agreement with the chest strap than those from the wristwatch. The temple reading accuracy might be enhanced by using the device during the dryland warm-up routine
- Beyond the Gym Floor and the Classroom: Physical Education as a Catalyst for Transdisciplinary Physically Active Learning in the Portuguese Educational LandscapePublication . Santos, Artur Jorge; Baptista, Liliana; Amoroso, José; Furtado, Guilherme; Teixeira, Manuela; Lima, Carla Pedroso; Marques, Adilson; Gouveia, Élvio R.This chapter explores the transformative potential of physical education (PE) when integrated into a transdisciplinary and physically active learning (PAL) framework. By moving beyond the traditional confines of the gym and classroom, we examine how PE can serve as a core component of holistic education. The chapter delves into the theoretical underpinnings of transdisciplinary and active learning, highlighting their alignment with the goals of PE. It will provide practical examples and strategies for implementing transdisciplinary PE programs, emphasizing collaboration with other subject areas and the creation of authentic learning experiences. The chapter will also discuss the role of PE in fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, while promoting physical literacy and well-being. Ultimately, this chapter aims to inspire educators to reimagine PE as a dynamic and essential component of a comprehensive curriculum.
- Characterization and Comparison of Athletic Performance and Change of Direction Deficit Across Youth Futsal Age GroupsPublication . Oliveira, João P.; Marinho, Daniel A.; Sampaio, Tatiana; Carvalho, Sílvio; Martins, Hugo; Morais, J. E.Futsal players need peak strength, functional capacity, speed, and explosive lower-limb power for optimal performance. The aim of this study was to (i) characterize and compare anthropometric characteristics, lower limb strength/power, dynamic balance, linear sprint speed, COD performance, and COD deficit across young futsal age groups and (ii) identify key predictors of COD deficit. Methods: Thirty-three male futsal players from three age groups (U13, U15, and U17) were tested. Results: All anthropometric variables showed significant group effects with moderate to strong effect sizes, where U17 presented the largest values, followed by U15 and U13. Strength and power variables presented the same trend. The dynamic balance differed significantly across groups. Significant differences between groups with moderate effect sizes were noted in linear sprints (F = 19.54, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.57), zigzag (F = 19.54, p = 0.002, η2 = 0.35), and COD deficit (F = 19.54, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.46). Post hoc tests revealed that U13 and U15 outperformed U17 in the COD deficit (p < 0.002). The COD deficit showed a quadratic relationship with age, initially improving but later declining in older players (p < 0.001). The body mass and the posteromedial relative difference predicted the COD deficit, with the coefficient of determination (R2) explaining 39% of the COD variance. Conclusions: Coaches and practitioners should utilize COD drills to target various movement patterns and account for pubertal timing, as growth can impact performance
- 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, push- ups, 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 t- tests. 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.
- Comparison of the Active Drag and Passive Drag Coefficients at the same Swimming Speed Through Experimental MethodsPublication . Lopes, Tiago J.; Pinto, Mafalda P.; Oliveira, João P.; Marinho, Daniel A.; Morais, J. E.; Sampaio, TatianaStudies about drag in swimming usually report or put the focus on its absolute value. However, it is being claimed that the drag coefficient better represents the hydrodynamic profile of a swimmer. Drag is strongly dependent on speed. Thus, increases in speed will lead to increases in drag. This could lead to misleading interpretations since drag is the water resistance that makes the swimmers’ displacement difficult. Conversely, the drag coefficient is less dependent on speed, which can be seen as a more appropriate measure of the swimmers’ hydrodynamic profile. This study used a complete experimental methodology (experimental and cross-sectional study) to determine the resistive forces in crawl swimming at the same speed (i.e., 1.00, 1.05, 1.10 m/s, etc.). In 10 proficient non-competitive adult swimmers (seven men and three women), the drag coefficient (CD ) was compared and the difference between using the technical drag index (TDI) with drag (D, passive or active) or with its respective CD 's. Measurements of active drag (DA ), passive drag (DP ) and CD (CDA and CDP ) were carried out. The TDI was calculated as a measure of swimming efficiency and the frontal surface area (FSA) obtained in active conditions. The active FSA was 20.73 ± 5.56% greater than the passive FSA (large effect size), the propulsion was 58.29 ± 69.61% greater than drag and CDA was 24.60 ± 46.55% greater than CDP (moderate effect size). TDI was significantly lower, but with a small effect size when measured with CD values compared to drag. TDID vs TDICD revealed strong agreement (> 80% of plots were within IC95). This study concludes that proficient swimmers presented a CDA greater than the CDP, but with strong agreement between them, probably due to FSA during active conditions. CD data appears to be a more absolute indicator of drag than TDI.
- Digital Humanities at the Service of Remembrance: The Creation of Digital Archive-based Activities within the Project Remembering the Past, Learning for the FuturePublication . Gombár, Zsófia; Martins, Cláudia F.D.; Ferro, Maria João; Fernandes, Ana Raquel; Szőnyi, Andrea; Xavier, Catarina; Komoly, Gabriella; Mezei, MónikaThis article explores the usage of testimonies in the Visual History Archive of the University of Southern California's Shoah Foundation to create learner-centred activities on the history of the Holocaust targeted at Portuguese students. We describe the project ‘Remembering the Past, Learning for the Future: Research-Based Digital Learning from Testimonies of Survivors and Rescuers of the Holocaust’, housed at the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (ULICES). Via the international partnership (USC Shoah Foundation, Zachor Foundation, and the University of Eötvös Loránd), the ULICES team developed materials using testimony from witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust through digital tools with an innovative pedagogical methodology. We introduce the constructivist theory of learning, stressing the powerful impact of survival testimonies on raising student awareness and developing a wide range of skills. We also describe the methodological process that underlay this project, namely the creation of the six learning activities for the IWitness educational platform and the IWalk visits, focusing on the translation tasks of the written materials and the audiovisual translation of the videos. We also report on how students received the activities by retrieving information from teachers’ and students’ reports, and an onsite experience with two groups of students.
- Dragan, Aleksić: Don Quijote del BramantePublication . Dotras Bravo, AlexiaEn esta obra, la estudiosa y traductora Jasna Stojanović ofrece una cuidada edición de un texto corto infantil de inspiración cervantina, que traduce con mucho acierto al español. Stojanović es la gran cervantista serbia, que ha traducido y divulgado la recepción del escritor alcalaíno en su país, como se puede apreciar en la «Introducción». En este apartado, nos brinda la información sobre los autores serbios a los que más ha influido Cervantes y las adaptaciones del Quijote a su idioma. Distingue «traducción, presencia en la crítica literaria e influencia en la literatura nacional» (p. 11). En unas pocas páginas, destaca a los traductores de la principal obra cervantina, cuya primera versión íntegra es de 1895/1896, de la pluma de Daničar, a la que siguen una de 1988 y otra de 2005, que conmemora el centenario. Además, resulta plenamente vigente en Serbia la visión romántica y positiva de la recepción quijotesca, incluso se asocia la forma de ser serbia con don Quijote. Por otro lado, compendia las adaptaciones infantiles y su validez actual. Es de reseñar que la mayor parte del trabajo se refrenda con sus propios artículos, demostrando que es una investigadora incansable en el marco del cervantismo serbio e, incluso, la gran estudiosa contemporánea de la obra y de su recepción en Serbia.
- Editorial: Training load in sport: current challenges and future perspectivesPublication . Branquinho, Luís; Forte, Pedro; França, Elias de; Ferraz, Ricardo; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Thomatieli-Santos, RonaldoTraining load is a critical component of athletic development, serving as a fundamental determinant of performance enhancement and injury prevention (1). Factors such as training intensity, volume, frequency, and density must be carefully managed to promote positive adaptations in athletes (2). The concept of training load is not merely a measure of the amount of work performed, it is a complex interplay of factors that can significantly influence an athlete’s performance trajectory (3). Understanding how to optimize training load is essential to maximizing athletic performance while minimizing the risks of excessive fatigue, injury, and overtraining, which can negatively impact an athlete’s performance and ability to compete and train effectively, as well as overall health (1).
- Effects of On-Court Tennis Training Combined with HIIT versus RST on Aerobic Capacity, Speed, Agility, Jumping Ability, and Internal Loads in Young Tennis PlayersPublication . Morais, J. E.; Kilit, Bulent; Arslan, Ersan; Bragada, José A.; Soylu, Yusuf; Marinho, DanielThe purpose of this study was to compare the effects of on-court tennis training (OTT) combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or repeated sprint training (RST) on the physiological, kinematic, kinetic, and perceptual responses of young tennis players. Twenty-four male tennis players (age 13.6 ± 0.3 years) were randomly assigned to either the OTT + HIIT group (n = 12) or the OTT + RST group (n = 12) three times per week for six weeks. Both groups trained for the same total training time with passive rest in each session. A number of physiological, performance and perceptual responses were measured before and after the 6-week training intervention. All variables showed a significant improvement over time, with maximal oxygen uptake showing the greatest improvement (p < 0.001, η2 = 0.97). The 5-m sprint (p = 0.044, η2 = 0.17), repeated sprint ability (p = 0.021, η2 = 0.22), and T-drill agility (p = 0.048, η2 = 0.17) showed a significant group effect. The OTT + RST group had a lower internal training load (better scores), a lower rate of perceived exertion (better scores), and higher scores in the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) at both times compared to the OTT + HITT group. These results demonstrate that OTT + RST appears to be a more effective training approach to improve speed and agility-based performance responses with more enjoyment in young tennis players.
- Fomentar las competencias digitales de trabajadores de municipios europeosPublication . Santos, Artur Jorge; Peneda, Ricardo; Pernas, Artur; Lima, Carla Pedroso; Lima, Carla Pedroso; Martín , Sonia Casillas; Muñoz-Repiso, Ana García-Valcárcel; González, Marcos Cabezas; Hernández, Alién GarcíaLa Comisión Europea estableció una Estrategia Digital (2018) consciente del camino a recorrer en este ámbito, definiendo objetivos estratégicos para Fomentar una cultura digital, Habilitar una formulación de políticas de la UE preparada para lo digital, Infraestructuras seguras y resilientes, entre otros. Señala la necesidad de fomentar el cambio organizativo y la cultura digital, estableciendo paquetes de aprendizaje por perfiles funcionales y una planificación y mapeo a medio plazo de las necesidades de los perfiles relacionados con lo digital, e implementando nuevas medidas de ciberseguridad y seguridad de la información en las instituciones de la UE. Recientemente se ha publicado el Marco de Competencias Digitales para los Ciudadanos (DigiComp 2.2) (Vuorikari et al., 2022), que proporciona un modelo de competencias digitales y herramientas para la autoevaluación de las mismas. Estas competencias deben fomentarse en las entidades gubernamentales, concretamente en sus trabajadores, ya que desempeñan un enorme papel a la hora de contribuir al desarrollo de la comunidad y prestar un buen servicio público. El concepto de e-government para toda la administración pública, incluyendo, el gobierno local, refleja cambios organizativos combinados y nuevas competencias, mejorando los servicios públicos, las políticas y el ejercicio de la democracia (Gouveia, 2004) y la participación pública. Además, el autor define el concepto de e-autarquía, que supone que hay diferentes procesos que se mejoran y racionalizan, reduciendo el uso de papel y el tiempo asociado a los procesos al recurrir a medios digitales. Este estudio forma parte de un proyecto de intervención, dentro del programa KA2 ERASMUS, que pretende fomentar las competencias digitales de los trabajadores y proceder a la desmaterialización en 3 Municipios Europeos (V.N. Poiares-Portugal (MP), Liepāja-Letonia (ML), Mielec-Polonia (MM). Aplicamos un cuestionario que contiene preguntas de caracterización sociodemográfica y de autoevaluación de competencias digitales. Los encuestados son los trabajadores de los municipios que utilizan ordenadores y procesos digitales (32 de MP, 110 de ML, 137 de MM, total de 139; 71 hombres y 208 mujeres, 50% <35 años, 17% tienen de 35 a 54, y 33% > 55 años. Estos porcentajes también se reflejan en los clusters Edad de Trabajo en el Municipio, con >10 años (50%), entre 10 y 19 años (17%) y <20 años (33%). Realizamos un análisis ANCOVA en JASP v0.16.4.0 para comparar las competencias digitales autoevaluadas por los trabajadores municipales (Comunicación y Colaboración -CC, Alfabetización Informacional y de Datos -IDL, Creación de Contenidos Digitales -DCC, Seguridad -S y Resolución de Problemas -PS). Se realizó un ANOVA para verificar las diferencias entre géneros. Se observó que existen diferencias entre entidades en cuanto a CC (F=11,408, p<.001), DCC (F=7,450, p<.001), S (F=5,106, p<.05) y PS (F=5,382, p<.05) y no hay diferencias en cuanto a IDL. En CC verificamos diferencias entre los 3 municipios, siendo MP el que presenta los niveles más altos y MM los más bajos. En relación a DCC, S y PS los trabajadores de MP presentan niveles superiores a los de los otros municipios. En cuanto al grupo de edad existen diferencias en IDL (F=275.000, p<.001), CC (F=275.000, p<.001), DCC (F=275.000, p<.001), S (F=275.000, p<.001), PS (F=275.000, p<.001) todos con diferencias entre los 3 grupos de edad. No se observaron diferencias de género para las competencias digitales objeto de estudio. El presente trabajo aporta recomendaciones para la formación en los municipios, siendo el MP el que presenta mayores niveles de competencias digitales pero que también puede mejorar algunas competencias, en concreto, la S y posteriormente la DCC. En el caso de los otros 2 municipios, se recomendó que ML y MM deben priorizar la DCC, y luego S en 2º, diferenciándose en el 3er módulo de formación, con PS para ML y CC para MM. Durante el próximo año, los trabajadores tendrán formación sobre esas competencias, y se pretende evaluarlos después de la intervención.
