  • Aprendizagem e treino do atletismo: abordagem multidisciplinar para crianças e jovens
    Publication . Dias, Gonçalo; Mendes, Rui; Gomes, Ricardo; Martins, Fernando M. L.; Damásio, António Sérgio
    Os manuais escolares e os livros de treino, de carácter científico ou de base mais “empírica”, indicam que o Atletismo, em sentido lato, é uma “modalidade” que serve de suporte a vários desportos. Assim, numa ótica pedagógica, devemos refletir se as possibilidades e as affordances da aprendizagem e treino que atualmente temos em Portugal vão, verdadeiramente, ao encontro das necessidades e do perfil dos atletas portugueses. Também aqui, é importante repensar o papel da escola e dos núcleos de prática informal, que, como bem sabemos, são os “viveiros” privilegiados dos futuros talentos no Atletismo. Neste contexto, parece ser igualmente importante constituir sinergias com a administração local e as demais instituições de interesse público, i.e., de modo a criar as condições mínimas para que um plano estratégico sustentado seja verdadeiramente exequível. “Correr” é uma tarefa difícil, árdua, que envolve uma série de capacidades volitivas, tais como: esforço, perseverança e algum sofrimento à mistura, que muitos não têm, e nunca terão, apenas por via de transmissão genética. Estes aspetos estão bem descritos no legado deixado pelo Professor Mário Moniz Pereira, onde se retrata um trabalho que deu frutos com Carlos Lopes, Fernando Mamede, entre outros atletas de elevada craveira, os quais tiveram que treinar arduamente para chegar aos títulos de campeões mundiais e olímpicos, algo que não foi obra do acaso. Por seu lado, as “escolas de Atletismo” são fatores indispensáveis para a manutenção da modalidade em Portugal. O mesmo se passa com os Centros de Alto Rendimento que, indiscutivelmente, são locais vocacionados para o apoio ao desenvolvimento da prática de Atletismo de alto rendimento e desempenham um papel relevante no treino de alta competição. Contudo, ainda assim, é preciso criar formas de apoio descentralizadas para os talentos que apareçam fora das grandes superfícies e não possam deslocar-se para esses centros, consigam, de igual modo, ter, na sua “terra de origem”, os apoios previstos no que concerne aos meios necessários para treinarem condignamente. Nesta base, é possível criar espaços de matriz lúdica e pedagógica, muito simples e funcionais, que possuam as mínimas condições para correr, lançar e saltar em segurança. Logo, é urgente unir a “família” do atletismo, sensibilizando as entidades oficiais, desde a Federação e suas associações, no sentido de uma aproximação mais efectiva entre o Desporto Escolar e as Autarquias, estimulando, assim, o aparecimento de novos colaboradores que darão um novo fôlego ao Associativismo Desportivo. Deste modo, a minha experiência como técnico, e também com dirigente, que já vai longa, pois há mais de quatro décadas que luto, abnegadamente, por estas causas, com particular incidência enquanto treinador, indica que este caminho poderá ser a “salvação” da formação de base e, quem sabe, do Atletismo, tal como o conhecemos nos nossos dias. Posto isto, o presente livro emerge como muito útil no contexto dos fundamentos e aplicações pedagógicas que suportam o Atletismo. Trata-se, efetivamente, de um compêndio muito completo, que aborda as ações técnicas do Atletismo (Capítulo I), e onde se propõe um leque muito completo de actividades lúdicas e pedagógicas (Capítulo II). Nesta base, os Editores e Autores descrevem o “percurso” da escola à alta competição (Capítulo III), sendo que, não se inibem de apresentar, com muita pertinência, as aplicações práticas deste compêndio (Capítulo IV). Face ao exposto, estamos perante uma obra que “ensina” a correr, saltar e lançar, de forma minuciosa e cientificamente pensada, algo que a diferencia, largamente, de outros livros de matriz idêntica. É caso para dizer, neste contexto, que o caminho faz-se, verdadeiramente, correndo

  • Benefits of pilates in the elderly population : a systematic review and meta-analysis
    Publication . Pereira, Mário; Mendes, Rodrigo; Mendes, Rui; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Gomes, Ricardo; Gama, José; Dias, Gonçalo; Castro, Maria António
    The aim of this systematic review is to collect and summarize the benefits of Pilates in the elderly population (>60 years old), within the current scientific production, assessing its contribution to Healthy Ageing (HA). We used PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis) to select, collect, and analyse this thematic. The methodological procedures were registered in the PROSPERO database. The main results of the studies analysed (n = 30) point to significant differences between the intervention and the control groups in dynamic balance, strength, mobility, functional capacity, risk of falling reduction, and mental and psychological health. Thus, the results showed that Pilates may be beneficial for the health of the elderly. The meta-analysis found statistical differences between means on the dynamic balance (mean difference (MD) = −0.0, 95% CI [−0.71, −0.50]; I2: 0%) and the aerobic capacity and aerobic resistance [(MD) = 38.29, 95% CI [6.82, 69.77]; I2: 0%). Thus, it is concluded that the efficacy of Pilates has been shown in various areas of HA and has proven to be affordable and safe for the majority of people, using just a mat on the floor. Future studies should focus on the analysis of the relationship between the cost and the benefit of a Pilates intervention in the elderly population, to better understand how health costs can be minimized and to contribute to a multidisciplinary and generalized HA. Pilates has practical application for the clinicians, therapists, and health professionals that work with the elderly population.

    Background: Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management and disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates have been reported across studies, regions, and health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics of users and nonusers is critical to design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, and to ensure that these equitably reach out to different groups of patients, thus improving rather than entrenching health inequities. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the use of general health and fitness apps by patients with asthma and to identify determinants of usage. Methods: A secondary analysis of the INSPIRERS observational studies was conducted using data from face-to-face visits. Patients with a diagnosis of asthma were included between November 2017 and August 2020. Individual-level data were collected, including age, gender, marital status, educational level, health status, presence of anxiety and depression, postcode, socioeconomic level, digital literacy, use of health services, and use of health and fitness apps. Multivariate logistic regression was used to model the probability of being a health and fitness app user. Statistical analysis was performed in R. Results: A total of 526 patients attended a face-to-face visit in the 49 recruiting centers and 514 had complete data. Most participants were ≤40 years old (66.4%), had at least 10 years of education (57.4%), and were in the 3 higher quintiles of the socioeconomic deprivation index (70.1%). The majority reported an overall good health status (visual analogue scale [VAS] score>70 in 93.1%) and the prevalence of anxiety and depression was 34.3% and 11.9%, respectively. The proportion of participants who reported using health and fitness mobile apps was 41.1% (n=211). Multivariate models revealed that single individuals and those with more than 10 years of education are more likely to use health and fitness mobile apps (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.22, 95%CI 1.05-4.75 and aOR 1.95, 95%CI 1.12-3.45, respectively). Higher digital literacy scores were also associated with higher odds of being a user of health and fitness apps, with participants in the second, third, and fourth quartiles reporting aORs of 6.74 (95%CI 2.90-17.40), 10.30 (95%CI 4.28-27.56), and 11.52 (95%CI 4.78-30.87), respectively. Participants with depression symptoms had lower odds of using health and fitness apps (aOR 0.32, 95%CI 0.12-0.83). Conclusions: A better understanding of the barriers and enhancers of app use among patients with lower education, lower digital literacy, or depressive symptoms is key to design tailored interventions to ensure a sustained and equitable use of these technologies. Future studies should also assess users’ general health-seeking behavior and their interest and concerns specifically about digital tools. These factors may impact both initial engagement and sustained use.

  • Efficacy of pilates in functional body composition : a systematic review
    Publication . Pereira, Mário; Dias, Gonçalo; Mendes, Rodrigo; Mendes, Rui; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Gomes, Ricardo; Gama, José; Castro, Maria António; Vaz, Vasco
    The aim of this review was to collect and systematize results of studies from the last 5 years concerning the influence of the Pilates method (PM) on functional body composition (FBC). Methods: The criteria of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) were used in this review. We conducted research in three scientific databases: (i) Web of Science Core Collection, (ii) SCOPUS, and (iii) search directory of the library catalog of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education of the University of Coimbra—EBSCO Discovery Services. We found 334 articles, covering the period between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2021. After the selection process, we found 33 eligible articles. Results: The main results seem to point to a tendency to get a better body weight and body fat percentage (BFP), hip circumference (HC), waist, and skinfolds from the chest, abdomen, triceps, and supra-iliac in mostly female samples. Available evidence indicates that, in body composition (BC) and FBC, Pilates practice tends to be effective in reducing obesity as a multifactorial condition. Conclusions: It is concluded that there is a marked trend in the benefits of Pilates in FBC, which is in line with other systematic reviews at the BC level (which includes body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI)) and in the reduction of the percentage of fat mass (FM). It is also concluded that there is a vast lack of studies on the male population, preventing further scientific development in this area. The limitations of this systematic review can be overcome with studies that bring together multidisciplinary aspects of FBC, better designed and methodologically more robust, which will allow more reliable analyses for the implementation of the Pilates method in terms of FBC. In addition, further studies with a male sample or mixed samples (men vs. women) could confirm the trend of no gender differences in the benefits of Pilates practice.

  • Extended School Time: Impact on Learning and Teaching
    Publication . Cabral Mendes, Pedro; Rebelo Leandro, Cristina; Campos, Francisco; Fachada, Miguel; Paula, Ana; Gomes, Ricardo
    This paper presents and assesses the effects of an Extended School Time project (ESTp), with a working day of 8 contact hours, that aimed to develop the students as a whole in its academic, artistic, sport, social and human dimensions. Based in active and integrated pedagogical practices, the project promoted the integration of knowledges, curiosity, sense of criticism, creativity, sharing solidarity and the conviviality of students. This project was applied to a 6th grade class with 20 pupils (11.2±0.68 years old). Using a qualitative methodology, 13 semi structured interviews were applied to 3 types of participants: 6 pupils, 5 parents (42.6±4.54 years old) and 2 teachers (60±4 years old), in order to analyze their perceptions regarding the project. Results show that each group valued different aspects of the project. The pupils valued activities that emphasized challenge, communication, creativity, and autonomy, as well as activities of academic continuity. The parents focused mostly on the occupational component of Extended School Time (ESTp), and the teachers on its effects on social and self-development of the pupils. This development was reflected in an improved peer-to-peer relationship and in a greater sense of belonging to school. The convergence verified in this ESTp, between cognition and the artistic, social and sport education, sought to promote the main goal of the School, an instruction that promotes a global (including multicultural and universal) development of the pupils’ capabilitiesThis paper presents and assesses the effects of an Extended School Time project (ESTp), with a working day of 8 contact hours, that aimed to develop the students as a whole in its academic, artistic, sport, social and human dimensions.
