Validation of anthropometric equations for predicting body mass and height in older women
Abstract To investigate the cross-validity of two equations widely used in national research to predict body mass and height in older Brazilians. Additionally, the importance of possible differences between observed and predicted BMI will be investigated with the help of equations. BM and HEI were measured using mechanical scales and portable stadiometers in a sample of 200 older women (66.6 ± 5.43 years) living in Maceió / AL - Brazil. To verify the validity of equations, the following variables were used: Student's t-test, constant error (CE), total error (TE) and standard error of estimation (SEE). To verify agreement...

Analysis of serve and serve return on different surfaces in elite tennis players
Abstract The aim of the current study was to analyze players ’ interactions in serve and serve return situations and examine the way points were decided due to players ’ positions and surfaces. Fourteen ATP 1000 tournament matches were analyzed (7 on hard surface; 7 on clay surface). The type of surface did not affect the way points ended ( χ ²=9.26; p> 0.05) but did influence serve return vertical positioning ( χ ²=270.86; p< 0.001). The return positioning, both lateral ( χ ²=92.68; p< 0.001 on deuce side - χ ² = 78.98; p< 0.001 on advantage side) and vertical ( χ ²=33.59; p< 0.001), and the...

Reliability in the evaluation of international and national judges in an artistic swimming routine
Abstract Artistic swimming (AS) is a sport evaluated by fifteen judges in routine sessions. The athletes' goal is to achieve proficient motor patterns according to pre-established criteria. The present studied analyzed whether there is difference between the two groups of AS judges with different levels of experience. The group of the International Swimming Federation - FINA (IG) evaluates AS at national and international level and the non-FINA group (NG) evaluates AS only at national level. Twenty experienced judges were divided into groups, 10 IG judges and 10 NG judges. Thus, judges evaluated the item execution of three...

Assessment methods of vastus lateralis muscle architecture using panoramic ultrasound: a new approach, test-retest reliability and measurement error
Abstract Extended-field-of-view ultrasonography is a valid alternative to determine the dimensions of the skeletal striated muscle; however, some factors may influence the final measurement. The aim of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability and measurement error of vastus lateralis muscle architecture variables through internal anatomical landmarks and to compare three fixed determined points using extended-field-of-view ultrasonography. Twelve young (24 ± 6 years) adult university male students participated in the study. Images were obtained through extended-field-of-view ultrasonography of the vastus la...

Variations of workload and well-being measures across a professional basketball season
Abstract The aims of this study were: (i) to describe weekly variations of acute load (AL), acute:chronic workload ratio, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and fatigue; (ii) to analyze variations of weekly workload and well-being in three periods of the season (P1, P2, and P3); and (iii) to analyze the relationships between workload and well-being measures. Fifteen professional basketball players from a first-league European club were monitored throughout the season using the CR-10 Borg scale and the Hooper questionnaire. Weekly AL and acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) were weekly calculated for monitoring of the int...

Association between obesity and sedentary behavior in adults
Abstract Although sedentary behavior (SB) is related to the development of metabolic diseases, there is still no consensus in literature about the association between accelerometer-based SB and obesity, especially adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors and level of daily physical activities. The aim was to evaluate the association between obesity and SB adjusted for potential confounders in adults. Data from 780 participants of the Epidemiology and Human Movement (EPIMOV) Study were analyzed. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), and fat body mass as percentage (%FBM) (bioelectrical impedance) were obtained and, then, used...

Interval training during concurrent training optimizes cardiorespiratory adaptations in women
In conclusion, the use of continuous and interval aerobic exercise during concurrent training improved different cardiorespiratory parameters in women, but in a greater magnitude when interval aerobic exercise was performed simultaneously to resistance training.Resumo O presente estudo comparou os efeitos do uso de exerc ício aeróbio contínuo e intervalado durante o treinamento concorrente nas adaptações cardiorrespiratórias de mulheres. Trinta e duas participantes foram randomizadas em três grupos de treinamento: corrida contínua + treinamento resistido (C-RUN, n = 10), corrida intervalada + treinamento res istido...

Functional flexibility in institutionalized sedentary older adults
Abstract The aging process leads to deterioration in physiological functions, decreasing functional capacity. Since physical exercise reduces deleterious effects, measuring physical condition is necessary in older adults. The aim of this study was to verify the evolution of the range of motion in institutionalized sedentary older adults. The sample consisted of 19 volunteers aged 65-95 years who completed the Chair Sit-and-Reach test (CSR) and the Back-Scratch test (BS) to measure flexibility of the lower and upper limbs, respectively, before and after a period of 12 weeks without intervention. The results showed significa...

Effect of visual condition and physical activity on the plantar pressure distribution in adult and older women
In conclusion, plantar pressure variation is not associated with the morphological foot type in women analyzed, as the visual condition did not generate plantar pressure variations when compared to its effect on the classification of plantar arches. Furthermore, level of physical activity was not associated with plantar pressure variation .Resumo O processo de envelhecimento acarreta altera ções nas condições físico-funcionais e na estrutura e função do pé. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a variação da pressão plantar quanto a informação visual e atividade física em mulheres adultas e idosas. Estudo transve...

Can physical activity influence the effect of the COVID-19 vaccine on older adults?
Abstract Studies have shown reductions in the immune response capacity with the aging process (immunosenescence). Lifestyle factors (physical activity and diet) have been investigated as possible adjuvants to improve the effect of vaccines on the immune system in the elderly. The aim of this opinion article is to analyze studies on physical activity and the effect of influenza vaccines in an attempt to suggest that their results can also be found in future studies on physical activity and vaccines against COVID-19. Considering the results of the studies analyzed, it could be suggested that the practice of physical activity...

Judo performance: kinanthropometric importance for technical tactical and biomechanics
Abstract In such a competitive combat sport as judo, it is important that the training is carefully planned so that the athlete can stand out in the international competition. In this context, it is important that the trainer and evaluator are accurate regarding the measures taken of the athlete. Such measures, when correctly performed, can prepare the trainer with tools that allow prescribing contextualized training. The present point of view will show how kinanthropometric variables can be considered by coaches and evaluators when performing technical-tactical and biomechanical analysis in judo athletes. There are differ...

Kinanthropometry in Brazilian Physical Education (1970s): a new knowledge perspective for this field
Abstract The aim of the present study is to understand the constitution of kinanthropometry as scientific disciplinary field in the 1970s in Brazil. Therefore, a bibliographic review was carried out in nine databases and in a specific journal focused on publications from the Kinanthopometry perspective, since this is an element to legitimize a scientific discipline. Only two studies dealing with this topic were selected. Given such a gap in the literature, three interviews with professors who organized the Physical Education (PE) course laboratories, as well as a newspaper report from the period, were used in the study. Di...
