- From Passion to Abyss: the Mental Health of Athletes during COVID-19 LockdownPublication . Pitacho, Liliana; Palma, Patrícia Jardim da; Correia, Pedro; Cordeiro, João Pedro PinaThe outbreak and pandemic of COVID-19 forced people into extreme isolation and social distancing, with significant limitations on various activity sectors, including sports. This study aimed to assess the psychological health status of athletes during sports lockdown. Additionally, we intend to verify the mediating role of sleep disorders in stress perception and subjective happiness. Our sample was composed of 1492 Portuguese athletes from eight different team sports. During sports lockdown, athletes were found to have high stress levels and low subjective happiness levels and experience sleep disorders. Finally, these results conclude that sports lockdowns harm athletes’ psychological health and well-being. Pay cuts to athletes are an extra stress factor that exacerbate these adverse effects on psychological health. Finally, sleep is a mediator variable between stress perception and subjective happiness levels. This study’s significant contributions, limitations, and future directions are discussed in the conclusion.

- Inteligência emocional aplicada às vendas no mercado automóvel de luxo: o centro Porsche PortoPublication . Correia, Pedro; Tavares, VictorEste relatório tem por base a crescente exigência do atendimento ao consumidor final e as suas implicações práticas, usando este ponto de partida pretende-se explorar as variáveis que estão diretamente ligadas à aplicação prática do conceito de relação com o cliente aplicada às vendas. Tendo por sua conta, de que possivelmente o público mais difícil e exigente será o consumidor de bens de luxo, procura-se nesse sentido explorar esse mercado com foco no setor automóvel. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e revisão de literatura em volta de temas respeitantes ao Marketing Relacional e aos seus conceitos assim como um inquérito por entrevista aos departamentos comerciais dos Centros Porsche Porto e Braga, fruto do estágio profissional realizado na empresa XRS, Motor S.A. detentora dos Centros Porsche acima mencionados. Com a pesquisa efetuada associada ao “know-how” adquirido com as entrevistas, foi possível concluir que a crescente exigência do cliente requer da parte do colaborador uma especial atenção às emoções que o cliente sente. Em tempos complicados que se vive à data do presente relatório, foi possível observar também que em tempos de receio e de incerteza o ser humano age de forma mais impulsiva e torna todos os seus comportamentos muito mais reflexivos do que em condições normais onde prevalecia a ponderação cuidada das variáveis. Por último é possível depreender, com as entrevistas realizadas, de que o consumidor dos mercados de luxo privilegia a experiência de compra ao mesmo nível do prestígio da marca.

- Usability of a telehealth solution based on TV interaction for the elderly: the VITASENIOR-MT case studyPublication . Pires, Gabriel; Lopes, Ana; Correia, Pedro; Almeida, Luis; Oliveira, Luís; Panda, Renato; Jorge, Dario; Mendes, Diogo; Dias, Pedro; Gomes, Nelson; Pereira, TelmoRemote monitoring of biometric data in the elderly population is an important asset for improving the quality of life and level of independence of elderly people living alone. However, the design and implementation of health technological solutions often disregard the elderly physiological and psychological abilities, leading to low adoption of these technologies. We evaluate the usability of a remote patient monitoring solution, VITASENIOR-MT, which is based on the interaction with a television set. Twenty senior participants (over 64 years) and a control group of 20 participants underwent systematic tests with the health platform and assessed its usability through several questionnaires. Elderly participants scored high on the usability of the platform, very close to the evaluation of the control group. Sensory, motor and cognitive limitations were the issues that most contributed to the difference in usability assessment between the elderly group and the control group. The solution showed high usability and acceptance regardless of age, digital literacy, education and impairments (sensory, motor and cognitive), which shows its effective viability for use and implementation as a consumer product in the senior market.
