- De gigantes cervantinos y tiranos: fantasía y humor para una lectura extrañante de la dictadura franquista en Sanco Panco de Salvador de MadariagaPublication . Rodríguez, María Fernández ; Bravo, Alexia DotrasSalvador de Madariaga se erige como uno de los pensadores del siglo XX que más tiempo y esfuerzo dedicó a la idea de España, de ser español y a las identidades europeístas, muchas veces ligadas a su concepción del Quijote. Una de sus novelas menos estudiadas, Sanco Panco (1964), denominada «novela-fantasía» por él mismo, fue construida como parodia del régimen franquista e imitación del estilo cervantino. Siguiendo el marco teórico de la fantasía y lo maravilloso de David Roas (2001, 2008), tendremos en cuenta los conceptos de humor, especialmente el lingüístico y el poliglotismo madariaguesco. El escritor hace especial hincapié en la visión en algunos estereotipos nacionales dentro del espacio de la guerra fría y la dictadura franquista, usando para ello la parodia lingüística, tan fácil para el Madariaga trilingüe y diplomático, buen conocedor de las diversas nacionalidades que intervinieron en la política internacional de los años cincuenta y sesenta del pasado siglo.
- Impact of multicomponent physical exercise and high-intensity interval training on osteoporosis in postmenopausal women: protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trialsPublication . Monteiro, António M.; Schneider, André; Encarnação, Samuel; Forte, Pedro; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Pecos-Martín, DanielOsteoporosis is a progressive degenerative bone condition leading to increased fracture risk. Therefore, osteoporosis acknowledges around 200 million cases, with about 70% of the cases occurring in postmenopausal women. Medicaments are often suggested to treat osteoporotic conditions, but physical exercise also plays an essential role. The current literature highlights multicomponent training (MCT) and high-intensity and high-impact exercises as physical exercise interventions that positively affect postmenopausal women’s bone health. Furthermore, there is prior evidence of systematic reviews about the positive effects of both methods on the bone health of this population. Despite this prior evidence, no systematic reviews with metanalytic methods compare the effectiveness of the two interventions. The study will follow the guidelines of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under the registration number (CRD42024604930). This systematic review and meta-analysis will include only randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), which have verified the effects of one or both physical exercise methods on postmenopausal women’s bone mineral density (BMD). The systematic search will be implemented at eight electronic databases, namely PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science (WoS), EBSCO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus, which will be used to retrieve the data of interest. The RCTs’ risk of bias (RoB) will be assessed with the RoB 2 Cochrane tool, and between-study heterogeneity will be checked through the analysis of Half-Cauchy distribution. Additionally, a network meta-analysis will be applied to compare the between-studies dose–response on the patients’ bone health. The final database search was completed on January 18, 2025.
- Enquêter pour restituer: Patrick Modiano et Ivan Jablonka entre mémoire et éthiquePublication . Alves, Ana M.The article examines the concept of literary enquiry through two emblematic works: Dora Bruder by Patrick Modiano and Histoire des grands-parents que je n'ai pas eus by Ivan Jablonka. In Dora Bruder, Modiano explores the disappearance of a young girl during the German occupation of France, intertwining historical research and personal narrative to reconstruct a collective memory that time has obscured. In contrast, Jablonka draws on family history to trace the fate of his deported grandparents, blending historical rigor with narrative subjectivity. Through the analysis of these two works, the article shows how Modiano and Jablonka reinvent the genre of literary enquiry, transforming memory into a critical space for questioning identity and ethics, while redefining the forms of contemporary narrative. Our aim is to demonstrate what literature can achieve: preserving and enacting memory.
- Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds: One Health PerspectivePublication . Gonçalves, Ana Carolina Almeida ; Pinto, Ana R.; Cima, André; Olo-Fontinha, Eva; Martins, Joana; Garcia, Juliana; Lemos, André; Saavedra, Maria José; Pintado, Maria Manuela; Alves, Maria JoséThis review, within the One Health framework, compiles information on plant-derived bioactive compounds and emphasises their multifunctional role in improving environmental, animal, and human health. These compounds support sustainable health and ecological stability by influencing biological and environmental processes. Data from literature research are combined to explain the mechanisms and potential uses of different key bioactive compounds. Mechanistic insights focus on their capacity to regulate oxidative stress, inflammation, and microbial balance, linking these effects to therapeutic benefits in human health, enhanced animal productivity, and environmental sustainability. These compounds show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and metabolic activities, helping prevent chronic diseases, strengthen immunity, and reduce reliance on antibiotics and pollution. Examples like quercetin, resveratrol, and curcumin demonstrate their roles in modulating inflammatory and metabolic pathways to foster sustainable health and ecological balance. Bioactive compounds are linked to the One Health strategy, providing benefits across biological systems. Nonetheless, challenges such as variability, bioavailability, and standardization remain. Future directions should aim to develop sustainable extraction and formulation methods, leverage omics technologies and artificial intelligence for discovery and characterization, and foster industry partnerships to validate these compounds and secure global regulatory approval.
- Que infância é essa? Um estudo das concepções que orientam práticas pedagógico-musicais disseminadas em trabalhos acadêmicos no BrasilPublication . Wille, Regiana Blank; Madalozzo, TiagoEste artigo tem como tema a educação musical na infância no contexto escolar. Partimos do pressuposto de que há um significativo avanço pedagógico e investigativo sobre o ensino de música na infância das últimas décadas, mas que representa um descompasso com as concepções de infância e de criança disseminadas em propostas pedagógicas que fazem parte de trabalhos de formação de professores em nível de mestrado. Nosso ponto de partida é o questionamento de se os princípios de uma educação musical criativa, a partir de uma imagem de criança como ator social e de direitos, imersa em um contexto de educação entendida como bem comum, reverberam nos cursos de formação de professores e em suas propostas pedagógicas decorrentes de pesquisas. Para tanto, discutimos os resultados de um levantamento bibliográfico de propostas pedagógicas difundidas em trabalhos de mestrado nos últimos cinco anos, analisando-as a partir de um enquadramento teórico em que apresentamos uma convergência de conceitos em um diálogo da Educação Musical com os Estudos Sociais da Infância. Ao final, problematizamos o quanto uma significativa parcela de propostas pedagógicas continua a disseminar uma visão conservadora de infância, o que não contribui para o avanço dos estudos na área e para a prática pedagógico-musical na educação na infância.
- The influence of kinematics and neuromuscular activity on stand-up paddling performance using cluster analysisPublication . Freitas, João; Conceição, Ana T.; Štastný, Jan; Morais, J.E.; Louro, Hugo; Marinho, D.A.; Neiva, Henrique P.This study classified stand-up paddle (SUP) practitioners by using cluster analysis of kinematic and neuromuscular activity. 14 male paddleboarders (24.2 ± 7.1 yrs) performed 3 submaximal trials of 65-m. Surface electromyography of upper trapezius (UT), biceps brachii (BB), triceps brachii (TB), tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius medialis, on both sides of the body. Speed, stroke frequency, distance per stroke, and stroke index (SI) were also assessed. Clusters were discriminated between performances in different groups according to speed (F = 4.24, p = 0.043, η2 = 0.44). The left UT of the left pull (F = 7.20, p = 0.010, η2 = 0.57), the right TB of the left recovery (F = 6.21, p = 0.016, η2 = 0.53), and the right TB of the left pull (F = 5.80, p = 0.019, η2 = 0.51) were the main variables of the clusters. Best performers were characterised by high activations of the left UT during the left pull and the left TB during the right recovery, along with greater SI. Poor performers displayed low activations of right TB during the pull and recovery phases. Better performers showed high activations, in UT and TB during the pull and recovery phases, emphasising their role in SUP performance.
- Associations Between Neurofeedback, Anthropometrics, Technical, Physical, and Tactical Performance in Young Women’s Football PlayersPublication . Carvalho, Sílvio; Bezerra, Pedro; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Silva, Rui M.; Cancela-Carral, José MariaNeurofeedback training has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing performance by targeting specific brain activity patterns linked to motor skills, decision-making, and concentration. This study aimed to explore the associations between neurofeedback outcomes and football-specific performance metrics, including anthropometric, physical, technical, and tactical dimensions. A quasi-experimental design was used to examine the effects of a six-week neurofeedback training program on motor skills, tactical decision-making, and physical performance in young women's football players (n = 8, aged 14-18). Participants underwent 30-min sessions three times a week targeting sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) in the 12-15 Hz range within virtual football scenarios. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included anthropometric measures, neurophysiological evaluations, Loughborough Soccer Shooting Test (LSST), and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (YYIR1). Tactical decision-making was evaluated with a FUT-SAT-based instrument, and biological maturity was estimated using the Mirwald equations. Statistical analyses using Pearson's correlations revealed significant associations between neurofeedback outcomes, motor efficiency indices (MEIs), decision-making (DM), and football performance metrics. Correlation coefficients ranged from 0.504 to 0.998, with p-values from 0.010 to <0.001, indicating significant associations across physical, technical, and tactical dimensions. This study highlights the beneficial impact of neurofeedback on football performance in young female athletes.
- Exploratory Analysis of the Correlations Between Physiological and Biomechanical Variables and Performance in the CrossFit® Fran Benchmark WorkoutPublication . Malheiro, Alexandra; Forte, Pedro; Rosell, David Rodríguez; Marques, Diogo L.; Marques, Mário C.The multifactorial nature of CrossFit performance remains incompletely understood, particularly regarding sex- and experience-related physiological and biomechanical factors. Fifteen trained athletes (8 males, 7 females) completed assessments of anthropometry, estimated one-repetition maximums (bench press, back squat, deadlift), squat jump (SJ), maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2)max), ventilatory responses ( V E-center dot), and heart rate (HR). Spearman, Pearson, and partial correlations were calculated with Holm and false discovery rate (FDR) corrections. Males displayed greater body mass, lean and muscle mass, maximal strength, and aerobic capacity than females (all Holm-adjusted p < 0.01). Experienced athletes completed Fran faster than beginners despite broadly similar anthropometric and aerobic profiles. In the pooled sample, WOD time showed moderate negative relationships with estimated 1RM back squat (rho = -0.54), deadlift (rho = -0.56), and bench press (rho = -0.65) before correction; none remained significant after Holm/FDR adjustment, and partial correlations controlling for training years were further attenuated. This exploratory study provides preliminary evidence suggesting that maximal strength may contribute to Fran performance, whereas conventional aerobic measures were less influential. However, given the very small sample (n = 15, 8 males and 7 females) and the fact that no relationships remained statistically significant after correction for multiple testing, the results must be regarded as preliminary, hypothesis-generating evidence only, requiring confirmation in larger and adequately powered studies.
- The Aging Curve: How Age Affects Physical Performance in Elite FootballPublication . Branquinho, Luís; França, Elias de; Titton, Adriano; Barros, Luís Fernando Leite de; Campos, Pedro; Marques, Felipe O.; Glória, Igor Phillip dos Santos; Caperuto, Erico Chagas; Hirota, Vinicius Barroso; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Monteiro, António M.; Ferraz, Ricardo; Thomatieli-Santos, Ronaldo VagnerBackground: In elite football, understanding how age impacts players' physical performance is essential for optimizing training, career longevity, and team management. Objectives: This study aimed to compare variations in physical capabilities of professional football players by chronological age and identify peak performance ages. Methods: Data from 5203 match performances across 351 official games were analyzed, involving 98 male players aged 18-39 years. Physical capacities (speed, explosive actions, and endurance) were assessed using the Catapult VECTOR7 system. Results: showed that players over 32 years experienced declines in high-intensity and explosive actions, while endurance remained relatively stable with age. Peak performance occurred around 25.7 years for speed, 24.8 years for endurance, and 26 years for explosiveness. Conclusions: Overall, players aged 17-26 years demonstrated the highest physical performance, with notable declines observed in older age groups.
- Artificial Intelligence in Sub-Elite Youth Football Players: Predicting Recovery Through Machine Learning Integration of Physical, Technical, Tactical and Maturational DataPublication . Afonso, Pedro Miguel Vaz; Forte, Pedro; Branquinho, Luís; Ferraz, Ricardo; Garrido, Nuno D.; Teixeira, José EduardoMonitoring training load and recovery is essential for performance optimization and injury prevention in youth football. However, predicting subjective recovery in preadolescent athletes remains challenging due to biological variability and the multidimensional nature of training responses. This exploratory study examined whether supervised machine learning (ML) models could predict Total Quality of Recovery (TQR) using integrated external load, internal load, anthropometric and maturational variables collected over one competitive microcycle. Forty male sub-elite U11 and U13 football players (age 10.3 +/- 0.7 years; height 1.43 +/- 0.08 m; body mass 38.6 +/- 6.2 kg; BMI 18.7 +/- 2.1 kg/m2) completed a microcycle comprising four training sessions (MD-4 to MD-1) and one official match (MD). A total of 158 performance-related variables were extracted, including external load (GPS-derived metrics), internal load (RPE and sRPE), heart rate indicators (U13 only), anthropometric and maturational measures, and tactical-cognitive indices (FUT-SAT). After preprocessing and aggregation at the player level, five supervised ML algorithms-K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting (GB)-were trained using a 70/30 train-test split and 5-fold cross-validation to classify TQR into Low, Moderate, and High categories. Tree-based models (DT, GB) demonstrated the highest predictive performance, whereas linear and distance-based approaches (SVM, KNN) showed lower discriminative ability. Anthropometric and maturational factors emerged as the most influential predictors of TQR, with external and internal load contributing modestly. Predictive accuracy was moderate, reflecting the developmental variability characteristics of this age group. Using combined physiological, mechanical, and maturational data, these ML-based monitoring systems can simulate subjective recovery in young football players, offering potential as decision-support tools in youth sub-elite football and encouraging a more holistic and individualized approach to training and recovery management.
