Background: This study aimed to examine the association between frailty and depressive symptoms. Methods: Cross-sectional five-year longitudinal study. Data were from population-based Survey of Health, Aging, Retirement in Europe (SHARE) waves six (2015) eight (2020). Frailty was assessed using SHARE-Frailty Instrument. Fatigue, appetite, walking difficulties, physical activity self-reported, grip strength measured a handgrip dynamometer. The EURO-D 12-item scale used measure Results: sample...
This study investigated the relationship between reaction time (RT) and physical fitness (PF) in soccer-playing children, focusing on core strength, agility, flexibility power. A sample of 89 boys (8.7 ± 2.2 years) participated this investigation were conveniently chosen a Portuguese soccer team. All participants players non-competitive level. Data PF components collected analysed to explore their associations with RT. The results revealed negative correlations abdominal RT, suggesting that...
Background Futsal demands lower limb power, repeated sprint ability, and technical prowess. Furthermore, anthropometric characteristics have been shown to influence physical capacities sports performance and, thus, should be assessed alongside fitness levels maximize performance. Methods This study aimed investigate the potential correlations between among young Portuguese male futsal players compare these attributes across two distinct age groups. Twenty-one athletes from groups (Under-18:...
Introduction Motor Competence (MC) is related to the development of healthy lifestyles in children and adolescents, many studies have compared it with different variables, including sports participation. This investigation aimed characterize components total scores MC regarding physical activity practices, such as education (PE) classes, futsal, volleyball, ballet, compare sports, sex, age-groups. Methods Using a cross-sectional study, 398 Portuguese adolescents (398 participants: 200 boys...
This study's aim was two-fold: (i) to test the intra-session reliability of one-leg balance activity test; and (ii) assess influence age on reaction time (RT) differences between dominant non-dominant feet. Fifty young soccer players with an average 12.4 ± 1.8 years were divided into two groups: younger (n = 26; 11.6 0.9 years) older 24; 14.2 0.8 years). Each group then completed four trials (two each leg) (OLBA) evaluate RT under a single-leg stance. Mean number hits calculated, best trial...
To examine the effect of swimming speed (v) on biomechanical and physiological responses a trained front-crawl swimmer with unilateral arm amputation.A 13-y-old girl amputation (level elbow) was tested for stroke length (SL, horizontal displacement cover each cycle), frequency (SF, inverse time to complete adapted index coordination (IdCadapt, lag between propulsive phases), intracycle velocity variation (IVV, coefficient instantaneous velocity-time data), active drag (D, hydrodynamic...
(1) Background: The popularity of motion-sensing computer-based games, like virtual reality (VR) exergames, is increasing among adolescents. However, their efficacy compared to conventional physical training methods remains unclear. This study investigated whether VR exergames produce effects on reaction time (RT) comparable traditional tennis in school-aged (2) Methods: In total, 130 adolescents (mean age: 15.6 ± 2.0 years; 67 boys: 15.5 2.2 63 girls: 15.7 1.8 years) were recruited schools...
There is growing interest in sedentary behaviour (SB) and its association with health outcomes. However, few studies have considered the changes SB change MVPA BMI schoolchildren longitudinally it need better understanding. PURPOSE: To describe 3-years objectively measured SB, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) body mass index (BMI), to investigate a 3-year follow-up. METHODS: The sample consisted 68 children (n = 39; 57.4% female) aged 6 9 years-old, from schools metropolitan...
The participation in sport activities is important individuals with spinal cord injury, namely to counteract their sedentary lifestyle and the loss of hand upper limb function. However, there a lack knowledge regarding effects moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels shoulder muscle strength. PURPOSE: To compare strength sportive non-sportive injury. METHODS: This cross-sectional study encompassing 14 (41.07 ± 9.99 yrs.) 4 men (32.0 6.97 injury (between T5 L1). Sports was determined by...
