- Análise do desempenho individual em jogadores de basquetebol juvenil durante um jogo regionalPublication . Teixeira, José Eduardo; Marracho, Phillipe; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, A.M.; Forte, PedroO desempenho individual e coletivo no basquetebol é avaliado principalmente por dados estatísticos. O objetivo deste estudo era avaliar o desempenho individual de duas equipas de sub-18 durante um jogo regional. A equipa A (equipa visitante/vencedora) e a equipa B (equipa visitante) foram compostas por 10 e 6 jogadores, respetivamente. Uma câmara de vídeo permitiu gravar o jogo para análise posterior (Canon HF R76, Tóquio, Japão). O software estatístico FIBA permitiu reunir o desempenho dos jogadores. As variáveis avaliadas foram: tempo de jogo, eficácia de dois pontos/lance livre, recuperações defensivas, ofensivas e totais, net points, assistências, turnovers, faltas sofridas/cometidas, bloqueios e total de pontos. O teste Mann Whitney permitiu avaliar as diferenças entre equipas e o Kruskall Wallis avaliou o desempenho individual na mesma equipa e em cada período. Foram observadas diferenças estatísticas significativas. A equipa A apresentou net points mais elevados no primeiro período (U = 60.000, p = 0,010). A equipa A apresentou valores mais elevados entre ambas as partes no tempo de jogo (U = 68.500; p=0.014) e net points (U=57.000, p=0.011). A equipa B apresentou valores mais altos no tempo de jogo (U=57.000, p=0.012). O tempo médio de jogo (U=390.000; p=0,029) e o tempo total (U=396.000; p=0,020) foram superiores para a equipa B e A, respetivamente. Os resultados individuais foram analisados por equipa, observando-se que a equipa A (F=16,050, p=0,001) e B (F=17,752, p<0,001) apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os diferentes períodos nos net points (A- 1vs2: p<0,001; 1vs4: p=0,003; B-1vs2: p=0,001; 1vs3: p<0,001 e 1vs4: p<0,001). Os desempenhos individuais variaram ao longo do jogo nos diferentes períodos, partes e entre equipas. A equipa A diferiu significativamente da equipa B nos pontos do primeiro período. Esta análise permite aos treinadores preparar uma equipa com o mínimo de variação nos resultados individuais e prever o desempenho individual e coletivo.
- Teaching models in physical education: current and future perspectivesPublication . Ferraz, Ricardo; Branquinho, Luís; Sortwell, Andrew; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Forte, Pedro; Marinho, D.A.The study of teaching models used during the discipline of physical education has been the object of analysis over the last few years. Even so, due to the increasing reduction in the levels of participation in sport, there is a need to reflect on the most effective pedagogy and teaching models to reverse this trend. For these reasons, this review has as main objective to synthesize the teaching methodologies present in the literature. The search strategy comprised search words that combined one of two primary keywords (“physical education”, “teaching-learning process”, and “teachers), with a second keyword (“model”, “pedagogy”, “competency”) and a third keyword (“sports”, “games”). After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 articles were counted for analysis. The results indicate that there is a need to strengthen the relationship between pedagogical theory and practice through innovation, which can emerge from the experimentation of new models, strategies, and teaching contents so that the discipline of physical education, in order to contribute unequivocally to the training of children and young people, resulting in lifelong involvement in physical activity.

- Physical activity and sedentary behavior in adults from Penafiel, Portugal: a cross-sectional studyPublication . Batista, Amanda; Forte, Pedro; Ribeiro, Joana; Silva-Santos, Sandra; Neto, Elmiro Silva; Rodrigues, Filipe; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Ferraz, Ricardo; Branquinho, LuísThe aim of this study was to compare the physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) levels of young and middle-aged adults living in and around the municipality of Penafiel and to determine whether they meet PA recommendations. The researchers used the "International Physical Activity Questionnaire" (IPAQ) to measure moderate to vigorous PA and time spent on sedentary behavior (high vs. low). A prospective observational cross-sectional sample of 1105 adults aged 18-63 years, living in the municipality of Penafiel and its surroundings (45% women, 55% men), was used. The results indicated that more than half of the population was inactive (53.8%) and sedentary (54.0%). Men were more likely to be sedentary (59.2%) and inactive (55.6%) than women (inactive: 51.7%, high SB: 47.7%). Regarding daily PA and SB levels, women had higher levels of walks (3.8 & PLUSMN; 2.3; p = 0.034) and vigorous PA (2.2 & PLUSMN; 1.8 min; p = 0.005) per days/week, as well as vigorous PA per minutes/week (75.4 & PLUSMN; 82.1 min; p = 0.034). The time spent on vigorous PA per day was also higher in women (26.2 & PLUSMN; 22.8 min; p = 0.030). However, men had higher values in walking minutes per day (26.3 & PLUSMN; 17.1 min; p = 0.030), SB for weekdays (429.2 & PLUSMN; 141.2 min; p = 0.001), SB for weekends (324.7 & PLUSMN; 163.7 min; p = 0.033) and time spent on SB per minutes/week (2795.6 & PLUSMN; 882.0 min; p = 0.001). The results also showed that the older the adults, the lower the frequency and total time of vigorous PA per week. Young adults (18-28 years) had higher levels of vigorous PA (p = 0.005) than the other age groups (29-39; 40-50 and 51-63 years). Finally, the study found no significant correlation between individual level factors, such as number of children, marital status and monthly income, and PA or SB. Conversely, a significant and negative correlation between SB and levels of PA was found, indicating that the higher the level of PA practice, the lower the SB level. The authors suggest that promoting new PA habits and healthy lifestyles is an important future challenge for sustainability and improving the quality of life in public health.
- Editorial: Towards a psychophysiological approach in physical activity, exercise, and sports, volume IIPublication . Forte, Pedro; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Portella, Daniel Leite; Monteiro, DiogoThe critical role of physical activity in fostering physical and mental health and wellbeing has been well-documented across diverse populations and contexts. Recent studies published in leading journals provide compelling evidence of the multifaceted benefits of exercise, from improving physical metrics such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference to enhancing mental health and subjective wellbeing. These insights underscore the importance of promoting physical activity as a cornerstone of public health. Health related physical activity was a very important discussed topic during COVID-19 pandemic, and for that reason, it is cleared illuminated the critical intersection between physical activity and mental health. That's in line with the published study in this Research Topic by Tomezzoli et al. on young Italian athletes. The authors revealed the detrimental effects of sports activity limitations on mental health. The enforced inactivity during lockdowns led to increased anxiety, depression, and a sense of loss among children, adolescents, and young adults. This allows to remind the psychological benefits of regular physical activity and the need for robust policies to ensure continued access to sports and recreational activities. However, where and when to do is a critical aspect and environment may play an important role on wellbeing.
- Reliability and feasibility of a voucher‐based strategy for physical activity assessment based on accelerometer in Portuguese children from a rural areaPublication . Vasques, Catarina; Sampaio, Tatiana; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Ginja, Samuel; Magalhães, PedroLast decades, children have left the streets, the pranks and the playgrounds for the physical inactive and sedentary times of watching TV, internet surfing and video gaming (Carbone et al., 2021; Kelly et al., 2005). It is therefore important to understand whether this trend covers Portuguese children from rural areas, previously characterized as presenting greater opportunities for physical activity (PA) practice (Machado-Rodrigues et al., 2012). However, the adherence to observational studies is often low and it is important to create strategies for increased participation (Shrank et al., 2011). Thus, this research aimed to assess the reliability and feasibility of voucher‐based strategy for physical activity assessment based on accelerometer in Portuguese children from a rural area. An observational cross-sectional research was conducted between September 2022 and January 2023. The ACTI-Study evaluated the moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels and sedentary behavior (SB) in students (age 10-16) from a high school in a Portuguese Northeast rural area. The PA assessment were conducted a hip-worn accelerometer (ActiGraph®, either GT3X or GT1M), on an elastic belt, for seven consecutive days (including weekend) (Vasques et al., 2023). Body mass index (BMI) was computed by dividing weight (kg) by height (m2). Normal (25.0 kg/m2), overweight (25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2), and obese (30.0 kg/m2) were defined using European BMI cut-offs (Magalhães et al., 2023; Vasques et al., 2014). Previous, a questionnaire for sample's sociodemographic and determinants of physical activity practice was applied. For applying the voucher-based strategy, children who returned the accelerometer were rewarded with a 5€ voucher, and a second one was given if they wore the accelerometer for a minimum of three days (at least 6h/day and at least one weekend) (Ginja et al., 2019). After, wore the accelerometer for a minimum of three days (two weekdays and one of the weekend) would mean receiving an extra 5€ voucher. Friedson's (2005) criteria was used to measure MVPA levels. Troiano (2007) algorithm was computed to assess compliance with the minimum of 360 minutes over three monitored days (Kakinami et al., 2018; Vanhelst et al., 2012). Only two children did not fulfill the criterion established for the use of the accelerometer, which means that the values found in the study correspond to the MVPA levels and SB time is representative in 97.8% of the selected sample. This means that applying voucher-based strategies for accelerometer-based physical activity assessment in Portuguese rural children is reliable and feasible, and all researchers should consider this strategy if they want to reduce research dropouts (Ginja et al., 2017, 2019). Finally, the next ACTI-Study milestones will be to assess the average daily number of MVPA minutes (accelerometer based and parent reported), percentage spent in MVPA (accelerometer based), number of steps (accelerometer based) and sedentary time bouts.
- Effects of match location, quality of opposition and match outcome on match running performance in a Portuguese professional football teamPublication . Teixeira, José Eduardo; Leal, Miguel; Ferraz, Ricardo; Ribeiro, Joana; Cachada, José M.; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, A.M.; Forte, PedroThe aim of this study was to analyze the effects of match location, quality of opposition and match outcome on match running performance according to playing position in a Portuguese professional football team. Twenty-three male professional football players were monitored from eighteen Portuguese Football League matches during the 2019–2020 season. Global positioning system technology (GPS) was used to collect time-motion data. The match running performance was obtained from five playing positions: central defenders (CD), fullbacks (FB), central midfielders (CM), wide midfielders (WM) and forwards (FW). Match running performance was analyzed within specific position and contextual factors using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures, standardized (Cohen) differences and smallest worthwhile change. CM and WM players covered significantly greater total distance (F = 15.45, p = 0.000, η2 = 0.334) and average speed (F = 12.79, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.294). WM and FB players covered higher distances at high-speed running (F = 16.93, p = 0.000, η2 = 0.355) and sprinting (F = 13.49; p < 0.001, η2 = 0.305). WM players covered the highest number of accelerations (F = 4.69, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.132) and decelerations (F = 12.21, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.284). The match running performance was influenced by match location (d = 0.06–2.04; CI: −0.42–2.31; SWC = 0.01–1.10), quality of opposition (d = 0.13–2.14; CI: –0.02–2.60; SWC = 0.01–1.55) and match outcome (d = 0.01–2.49; CI: −0.01–2.31; SWC = 0.01–0.35). Contextual factors influenced the match running performance with differential effects between playing positions. This study provides the first report about the contextual influence on match running performance in a Portuguese professional football team. Future research should also integrate tactical and technical key indicators when analyzing the match-related contextual influence on match running performance
- Identifying the ideal weekly training load for in-game performance in an elite Brazilian soccer teamPublication . Branquinho, Luís; França, Elias; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Titton, Adriano; Barros, Luís Fernando Leite; Campos, Pedro; Marinho, D.A.; Forte, Pedro; Caperuto, Erico Chagas; Santos, Ronaldo Vagner Thomatieli; Ferraz, RicardoIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the ideal training load to be applied during periods of fixture congestion to ensure an adequate dose-response effect for performance maintenance. Methods: Match performance data and corresponding pre-match training load sessions (both N = 498 match performance cases and training-block session cases) were collected (with the catapult system, VECTOR7) from 36 male professional soccer players (23.5 +/- 5.2 years; 178 +/- 4 cm; 75.5 +/- 6.0 kg) belonging to the Brazilian First Division team during the 2022 season. The following data were collected in match and training sessions: jump, acceleration, deceleration, and change of direction (COD); running distance producing metabolic power at different intensities (>20, >20-35, >35-45, >45-55, and >55 W kg(-1)), total distance (m), relative distance (m/min), running distance at different speeds (>20, >25, and >30 km/h), number of sprints (running >25 km/h), and maximum speed (km/h). Mixed linear model (MLM), decision tree regression (DTR), and cluster K means model (SPSS v.26) approach were performed to identify the most critical variables (and their respective load) in the training sessions that could explain the athlete's match performance. Results: MLM and DTR regression show that training load significantly affects game performance in a specific way. According to the present data, an interference phenomenon can occur when a high load of two different skills (running in a straight line vs COD, deceleration, and jumping) is applied in the same training block of the week. The cluster approach, followed by a chi-squared test, identified significant associations between training load and athlete match performance in a dose-dependent manner. Discussion: The high load values described here have a beneficial effect on match performance, despite the interference between stimuli discussed above. We present a positive training load from a congested season from the Brazilian First Division team. The study suggests that an interference effect occurs when high physical training loads are applied to different specific physical skills throughout the season.

- Influence of multicomponent exercise program or self-selected physical activity on physical, mental, and biochemical health indicators of older womenPublication . Encarnação, Samuel Gonçalves; Fazolo, Sthefany Lemos; Pereira, Felipe Soares Tomaz; Araújo, Daniele Pereira; Miranda, Cíntia Neves de; Pinto, Beatriz Woyames Ferreira; Forte, Pedro; Teixeira, José Eduardo; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Monteiro, A.M.; Moreira, Osvaldo Costa; Carneiro-Júnior, Miguel AraújoThe aim of this study was to compare physical, mental, and biochemical health indicators of 48 older women (67 ± 1 year) who practiced multicomponent exercise program (ME, n = 25) and self-selected physical activity (PA, n = 23) for 6 months. It was an observational study, which aimed to relate a prospective intervention. Displacement speed, lower limb (LL) power, functional capacity, body composition, biochemical profile, physical activity levels (PAL), sedentary behavior (SB), quality of life (QoL), and mental illness risk (MIR) were evaluated. ME presented better values compared to the PA in the gait speed (p = 0.001, large ES), aerobic capacity (p = 0.0001, large ES), agility/dynamic balance (p = 0.0001, large ES), LL flexibility (p = 0.0003, large ES), UL flexibility (p = 0.04, large ES), upper limb (UL) strength (p = 0.07, moderate ES), Total cholesterol (p = 0.009, large ES), triglycerides (p = 0.003, large ES), creatinine (p = 0.007, large ES), glycated hemoglobin (p= 0.007, large ES), and lower mean glucose value (p = 0.008, large ES). ME was more efficient than PA to improve indicators of gait speed, and functional capacity, regulate glycated hemoglobin, blood glucose, and serum creatinine. Thys study also brings practical applications for coaches, which could adapt and use creativity to develop different types of systematized ME, aiming to enhance positive adaptations in the older people at multilevel outcomes.
