Background/Objectives: This study explores the prevalence of podiatric disorders in relation to factors such as gender, age, and type sports activity. Understanding these elements is crucial for implementing effective prevention strategies. Methods: The sample consisted 70 participants, aged 12 30, with 71.4% youths 28.6% adults, including 50 Portuguese 20 Spanish individuals, who practiced either terrestrial or aquatic at varying training intensities. Statistical analyses were performed on...
This study aimed to verify whether there are differences in the body composition, functionality, lower-limb power, agility, and cardiorespiratory capacity futsal players, comparing athletes by competitive level. The (N = 84) were divided into three groups: group Elite 29), Sub-Elite Non-Elite 26). Anthropometric variables analyzed through a bioimpedance scale (Inbody 270), functionality was functional movement screen battery. power of lower limbs tested with Abalakov jump, agility zigzag...

Abstract Tracks and trackways of newborns, calves juveniles attributed to straight-tusked elephants were found in the MIS 5 site (Upper Pleistocene) known as Matalascañas Trampled Surface (MTS) at Huelva, SW Spain. Evidence a snapshot social behaviour, especially parental care, can be determined from concentration elephant tracks trackways, apparently contemporaneous converging small juvenile larger, presumably young adult female tracks. The size frequency enabled us infer body mass age...
ABSTRACT Well-preserved tracks of the wild boar Sus scrofa are described from Matalascañas Trampled Surface (MTS) in upper Pleistocene aeolian basal unit El Asperillo Cliff, Huelva (southwestern Spain). These first published suid pigs fossil record, here formally as Suidichnus galani igen. and isp. nov. A revision valid artiodactyl ichnogenera is provided for comparison. The large size found Late Spain contradicts general trend towards smaller known evolution species Bergmann's...
Abstract In the Iberian Peninsula fossil record of artiodactyls spans over 53 million years. During Pleistocene, wild cattle species such as Bison and especially Bos became common. Late aurochs ( primigenius ) was widespread only bovine living along large river valleys southern Iberia. Although commonly found in sites cave bone assemblages, trace known worldwide from Holocene. Large roe deer/caprine tracks were at least five horizons early Pleistocene (MIS 5) beach eolian deposits Cape...

The Cabeço da Ladeira paleontological site in central Portugal became known as the “Jurassic Beach”. Formerly an active quarry, was protected order to preserve large exposures of a Middle Jurassic (early? Bajocian) carbonate tidal flat with outstanding fossil record. This multidisciplinary work involving experts from several national and international research geoconservation institutions carried out under umbrella Institute for Nature Conservation (ICNF), since this geosite is located...
In the Huelva Coast of SW Spain erosion by recent marine storms revealed presence a paleosol where an extensive tracksite known as “Matalascañas Trampled Surface” (MTS) has been documented. The MTS includes tracks and trackways large species mammals, along with bird trace fossils, invertebrate burrows root traces. Within this record, several hominin footprints stands out. Despite previous uncertainties about producer these footprints, new OSL age 151 ± 11 ka secures their attribution to...
As far as we know, no screening questionnaire has been developed and validated for identification of adverse food reactions in Portuguese-speaking adults, an initial approach towards the investigation cases possible allergy. Thus, objective this study was to develop validate a allergy adult patients.This multicentre, cross-sectional using simple random sample 186 adults between 18 82 years old from various parts centre Portugal. Intelligibility first assessed 24 patients with confirmed IgE-...
The Pleistocene coastal eolianite formations in Portugal have provided an unexpected ichnological record of moderate diversity and circumscribed abundance related with mammals birds, particularly SW Alentejo. Several large tracks attributed to bear were recently been found a small inlet at north Praia do Cavalo, not far from Longueira (Odemira), Medo Tojeiro/Almograve Eolianite which is tentatively dated MIS3-2? (about 30,000 years BP). They are organized two trackways composed possibly 10...
Penha Garcia Ichnological Park is the most important fossil site and one of significant geosites international relevance, in territory Naturtejo UNESCO Global Geopark. This municipal protected area a key for study trace diversity at high paleolatitudes early stages Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. Most famous among 21 ichnotaxa Cruziana, interpreted as foraging burrows trilobites, present abundance excellent preservation. They are largest fossils found anywhere Lower Paleozoic, not...
Introdução: Em Portugal a prática desportiva no futebol tem aumentado em atletas com idades inferiores 18 anos e esta consiste num desporto de contacto alta intensidade que implica mudanças velocidade direção do movimento, bem como os jogadores vão estar envolvidos confrontos para ganhar ou manter posse bola, podendo resultar risco elevado lesões. Objetivo: Determinar prevalência lesões músculo-esqueléticas jovens amadores futebol. Material Métodos: A amostra foi constituída por 145 amador...
Abstract The c . 100 myr extensive fossil record of bee brood nests and cells (calichnia) in siliciclastic sedimentary deposits, or palaeosols, is virtually devoid the presence their producers. absence a more specific assignment to producer different ichnogenera ichnofamily Celliformidae precludes use phylogenetic palaeobiogeographic studies. Omission surfaces developed incipient carbonate palaeosols during late Holocene (middle Neoglacial), 2975 yr cal BP, on southwest coast mainland...
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) encompasses a set of disorders involving the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint and associated structures. It is complex biopsychosocial with several triggering, predisposing perpetuating factors. In etiology TMD, oral parafunctions, namely bruxism, play relevant role. The study bruxism complicated by some taxonomic diagnostic aspects that have prevented achieving an acceptable standardization diagnosis. aim this was to analyze prevalence in...
