Impacto de um programa de intervenção motora no desempenho de escolares, na execução do teste de agilidade de membros superiores Golpeio de Placas

Márcio Borgonovo-Santos

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a motor intervention program on performance of schoolchildren in implementing the agilitys test of upper limbs by the Plate Tapping Test that is a part of the Eurofit Testing Battery. A group of 108 schoolchildren with ages between 12 to 15 years of both sexes participated of this study. According to the experimental design the individuals were evaluated firstly by the Plate Tapping Test, called pre-test, and after this they were organized by performance, age and sex. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (p=0.20) and Shapiro-Wilk (p=0.063) normality tests were applied and both resulted in a normal distribution. By means of a stochastic selection algorithm, the individuals were randomly assigned to three groups: Experimental Group 1 (GE1), Experimental Group 2 (GE2) and Control Group (GC), each one of them comprising 36 schoolchildren. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to verify if the division of groups was homogeneous and equivalent with relation to the individuals performance and it resulted in a value of p=0.317 at a confidence level of 95%, that means no significant differences between groups. The intervention motor procedures with 5 sets of 20 repetitions per day were then conducted to each group. The GC not received any intervention while GE1 and GE2 received respectively 3 days and 1 day of motor intervention. The Plate Tapping Test was applied in each group before (pre-test) and after (post-test) of the motor intervention procedures and the results were analyzed between groups through an ANOVA 2x3. No significant differences were found in the pre-tests, whereas all groups presented significant differences in the post-test. The results of the post-test indicated no differences between 1 and 3 days of intervention, nevertheless the application of motor intervention resulted in a superior performance of the experimental groups (GE1 and GE2) compared to CG. The groups presented respectively the following results for pre-test, post-test and the difference between of them: GE1 (41.11 sd 32.12 | 84.06 sd 24.26 | 42.95), GE2 (24.86 sd 23.83 | 73.61 sd 24.47 | 48.75) and GC (32.75 sd 28.75 | 57.56 sd 28.94 | 24.81). In the test execution were observed three distinct phases by the analysis of the performance curve, which were called of adaptation phase, optimized phase and fatigue phase, since those phases indicated the progression s behavior and allowed to observe the conduct of the intervention in each phase. In conclusion, the intervention showed to have an important role in the learning of a task and this suggested that for the evaluation protocols should exist adaptation periods to recognition and learning of the tasks to be performed, aiming to verify more faithfully the performance.%%%%O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar o impacto de um programa de intervencao motora no desempenho de escolares, na execucao do teste de agilidade de membros superiores Golpeio de Placas, da Bateria Eurofit.

Functional shoulder ratios with high velocities of shoulder internal rotation are most sensitive to determine shoulder rotation torque imbalance: a cross-sectional study with elite handball players and controls

Sports Biomechanics (2017)

Marcelo Peduzzi de Castro Pedro Fonseca Sara Morais Márcio Borgonovo-Santos Eduardo Coelho

The aim of the present study was to determine which approach to calculating shoulder ratios is the most sensitive for determining shoulder torque imbalance in handball players. Twenty-six participants (handball athletes, n = 13; healthy controls, n = 13) performed isokinetic concentric and eccentric shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) assessment at 60, 180 and 300°/s. We used eight approaches to calculating shoulder ratios: four concentric (i.e. concentric ER torque divided by concentric IR torque), and four functional (i.e. eccentric ER torque divided by concentric IR torque) at the velocities of 60, 180 and 300°/s for both IR and ER, and combining 60°/s of ER and 300°/s of IR. A three factorial ANOVA (factors: shoulder ratios, upper limb sides, and groups) along with Tukey's post-hoc analysis, and effect sizes were calculated. The findings suggested the functional shoulder ratio combining 60°/s of ER and 300°/s of IR is the most sensitive to detect differences between upper limbs for handball players, and between players and controls for the dominant side. The functional shoulder ratio combining 60°/s of ER with 300°/s of IR seems to present advantages over the other approaches for identifying upper limb asymmetries and differences in shoulder torque balance related to throwing.

Are the Kinetics and Kinematics of the Surf Pop-Up Related to the Anthropometric Characteristics of the Surfer?

Sensors (2021)

Márcio Borgonovo-Santos Thiago Telles Jeff A. Nessler Marcelo Peduzzi de Castro Ricardo J. Fernandes

The surf pop-up is a unique and challenging skill, critical to successful surfing. Hypothesizing that anthropometric characteristics of surfers influence the pop-up performance, we aimed to measure kinematics and ground-reaction forces (GRF) during a simulated pop-up motion, and to relate these variables with anthropometric characteristics. Twenty-three male surfers (age: 28.4 ± 10.1 years old; body mass: 68.3 ± 10.8 kg; height: 1.73 ± 0.07 m; time of practice: 12.4 ± 8.9 years; arm-span: 1.75 ± 8.9 m) perform a simulated pop-up in the laboratory, while GRF and 3D motion-capture data were acquired. The duration of the pop-up was 1.20 ± 0.19 s (60% push-up and 40% reaching/landing phase). During the push-up, the hands were placed 0.46 ± 0.05 m apart and generated a relative total peak-force of 0.99 ± 0.10 N/Weight, with symmetrical impulse of 0.30 ± 0.05 N·s/Weight for the dominant and 0.29 ± 0.07 N·s/Weight for the nondominant hand. Elbow angles were not different during the peak force application (110 ± 18° vs. 112 ± 18°, respectively) of the push-up phase. During the landing phase, the feet were placed 0.63 ± 0.10 m apart and generated a relative peak force of 1.63 ± 0.18 N/Weight. The impact force during landing was applied unevenly between the rear foot (28%) and the front foot (72%). In conclusion, most anthropometric-related variables showed no relationship with performance variables, with the exception of an inverse relationship between muscle mass and pop-up total duration. We also observed no differences in upper- and lower-body kinematics between the dominant vs. nondominant hands and among surfers who preferred a regular vs. “goofy-foot” stance. Finally, the force profiles between hands were similar and symmetric, while the lower extremities during the reaching phase were different, with the front foot applying greater force than that of the rear foot.

Ana Sofia Domingues Filipa Barbosa Adérito Seixas Márcio Borgonovo-Santos Eduardo M. Pereira

In order to verify whether there is a considerable increase in body skin temperature during different swimming techniques (crawl and backstroke) and identifying the most affected regions. The athlete's thermal symmetry was also analyzed, as well as its modification after the swimming, according to the performed technique. The accuracy of thermography as a method to identify and distinguish these different styles was also evaluated. Ten male swimmers were recruited and two different swimming techniques were assessed, crawl and backstroke. After a 10 minute acclimatization period in the pool, the swimmers were quickly dried with microfiber towels. The thermograms were taken before and after the swimming task, which consisted in a 7x200m protocol in crawl or backstroke. Infrared thermography revealed an increase of temperature after exercise and no significant differences were found between both techniques. Thermal symmetry was not affected by exercise.

Pressão arterial tem mesmo comportamento após duas sessões únicas de exercício aeróbio e resistido em hipertensos Blood pressure behavior after only two aerobic and resistance exercise sessions in hypertensive patients

Rafaella Zulianello Daiana Cristine Bündchen Márcio Borgonovo-Santos Patricia Maccari Blaziu Magnus Benetti

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the blood pressure after only two sessions of aerobic and resistance exercise in hypertensive circuit controlled by pharmacological treatment. Methods: Ten hypertensive patients (52.2 ± 12 years) with blood pressure controlled by pharmacological treatment were assessed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) after being exposed randomly to three conditions: control day without exercise; session aerobic exercise and resistance exercise. Results: One-way Anova for repeated measures (p <0.05) showed that the average values for systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) in the three situations showed no statistically significant differences after intervention. During the evaluation 22 h, DBP days of exercise was significantly reduced during the first hour (p = 0.03) compared to control days. Conclusion: Significant reduction in DBP in the first hour of aerobic and resistance exercise. However, during the 22 hours post exercise behavior was similar between these two ses
