Physical Development Differences between Professional Soccer Players from Different Competitive Levels

Applied Sciences (2022)

Cíntia França Andreas Ihle Adilson Marques Hugo Sarmento Francisco Martins

In soccer, physical development is crucial for developing optimal performance. This study aimed to assess and compare the physical development of elite and non-elite professional soccer players. Seventy-eight male professional football players divided into four competitive levels participated in this study: the elite group (EG), the non-elite group A (NEG-A), the non-elite group B (NEG-B), and the under 23 group (U23). Body composition, static strength, lower-body explosive strength, flexibility, and balance were assessed. No significant statistical differences between elite and non-elite players were seen in body composition parameters. However, the EG performed better in static strength, lower-body explosive strength, flexibility, and balance, even after adjusting for the effects of chronological age. The analysis showed that the competitive level (group) explained 25% to 29% of the variance observed in the lower-body explosive strength tasks. Sports staff and coaches in different age categories or competitive levels should include specific lower-body explosive strength content during soccer training to promote players’ long-term development towards the elite level.

Uma escola com currículo International Baccalaureate e a sua relação com a atividade física

Retos: nuevas tendencias en educación física, deporte y recreación (2021)

Joao Cheira Adilson Marques João Martins Miguel Peralta Miguel González Valeiro

espanolEste estudio analizo la oferta de un colegio internacional con el plan de estudios de Bachillerato Internacional (BI) para que los alumnos, de ambos generos, puedan cumplir con las recomendaciones de actividad fisica (AF) de la Organizacion Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Participaron 236 estudiantes (118 ninos y 118 ninas) de 10 a 17 anos, el director de la escuela y un grupo focal de 12 estudiantes. Se utilizaron metodos mixtos, a traves de una entrevista con el director de la escuela, un grupo focal de estudiantes y cuestionarios aplicados a los estudiantes. Se evaluaron: frecuencia en Deporte Escolar (DE); la percepcion de la carga de trabajo de DE; perspectivas sobre el curriculo del BI y el entorno fisico y social de la escuela. Despues de los analisis, se encontro que hay mas ninos que ninas que cumplen con las recomendaciones de AF de la OMS, que los estudiantes solo pueden cumplir estas recomendaciones con actividades realizadas en el colegio y que el curriculo del IB permite a los estudiantes practicar deportes variados de diferentes paises. EnglishThis study analysed what does an international school with the curriculum International Baccalaureate (IB) offer so that students from both genders can fulfil the recommendations for physical activity from the World Health Organization (WHO). A total of 236 (118 boys and 118 girls) students, ages between 10 and 17 years old participated in the study, the school principal and a focus group of 12 students also participated in the study. Mix methods were used, through interview with the school principal, focus group and the questionnaires applied to the students. It was assessed: frequency in the school sports; perception of the time given to school sports; perspectives about the IB curriculum; the physical and social environment of the school. After the analysis, it was possible to verify that there are more boys than girls following the recommendations of physical activity of the WHO. And also, that it is possible for students to follow those recommendations just with activities performed in school and that the IB curriculum gives the students the chance of practicing a variety of sports that come from different parts of the world. portuguesEste estudo analisou a oferta de uma escola internacional com o curriculo International Baccalaureate (IB) para que os alunos, de ambos os sexos, possam cumprir as recomendacoes de atividade fisica (AF) da Organizacao Mundial de Saude (OMS).

A New Look at Psychological Health and Life Satisfaction: A Quadripartite Model

IntechOpen eBooks (2023)

Margarida Gaspar de Matos Cátia Branquinho Tânia Gaspar Catarina Noronha Bárbara Moraes

COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on adolescents’ psychological health. Two national studies were conducted. The DGEEC study included 9 to 18-year-old pupils. The HBSC study (2 waves) included pupils from the 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th grades. For each study, two groups were established based on life satisfaction scores and on psychological symptoms scores, producing four groups. In both studies, the group with high life satisfaction and reduced psychological symptoms had more boys and younger pupils. The group with low life satisfaction and pronounced psychological symptoms comprised more girls and older pupils. In the DGEEC Study, pupils with low life satisfaction and pronounced psychological symptoms were more likely to exhibit other unwellness signs. In the HBSC study, from 2018 to 2022 (with the COVID-19 in between), psychological symptoms increased significantly and life satisfaction decreased, exacerbating inequities. This model allowed to examine the results of DGEEC and HBSC studies under a new perspective comprising four scenarios, offering an innovative viewpoint on adolescents’ psychological health. Results also suggest a potential buffering effect of being physically active, adequate sleep, and adequate screen time. This is a powerful message for health and education professionals and policymakers regarding the relevance of health education and promotion.

Lower-Body Power, Body Composition, Speed, and Agility Performance among Youth Soccer Players

Sports (2024)

Cíntia França Élvio Rúbio Gouveia Francisco Martins Andreas Ihle Ricardo Henriques

Speed and agility have been described as crucial abilities for soccer players. The purpose of this study was to analyze, in detail, the variance in speed and agility tasks explained by lower-body power after controlling for age and body composition. The participants were 96 male soccer players aged 16.1 ± 1.6 years. Body composition (stature, body fat percentage-BF%, body mass, and fat-free mass-FFM), lower-body power (countermovement jump-CMJ, and squat jump-SJ), speed (5-, 10-, and 35 m sprints), and agility (

Analyzing the effects of competitive fatigue on body composition and functional capacities of youth elite handball players

Montenegrin Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (2024)

Francisco Martins Cíntia França Hugo Sarmento Krzysztof Przednówek Maciej Śliż

Handball demands intense movements like rapid direction changes and physical contact. Consecutive competitions expose player fatigue and weaknesses due to the sport’s exhaustive nature. Therefore, the aims of this study are twofold: (i) to investigate the impact of competitive fatigue on the body composition of youth elite handball players, and (ii) to analyze the impact of concentrated competition on their functional capacity performance. Seventeen young male handball players (age: 16.2 years, height; 177.8 cm, body mass: 73.0 kg) were assessed twenty-four hours before (TM1) and after the competitive period (TM2) in body composition, static strength, lower- and upper-body explosive strength, speed, agility, balance, and flexibility indicators. A Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was conducted to assess differences in body composition and functional capacities assessment between TM1 and TM2. Regarding results, body mass significantly increased in TM2 (p < 0.01), while increases in waist circumference and body fat percentage were not statistically significant. Functional capacity assessments revealed a significant decline in jumping performance (CMJ and SJ; p ≤ 0.01). Speed and agility assessments showed worse performance in TM2, significantly increasing 30 m sprint time (p ≤ 0.01). Balance indicators showed no significant differences, with mixed results in performance across different conditions. In sum, evaluating vertical jumps and long-distance maximum speed (i.e., 30 meters) could be valid tests for measuring and controlling fatigue in young elite handball players. Future research should regularly monitor young handballers after the competition to analyze the entire fatigue recovery process.

The Attitude of Portuguese Physical Education Teachers toward Physical Fitness

Children (2022)

Adilson Marques Diogo Balsa Marta Domingos Rafael Todescato Cavalheiro Tiago Carreira

In this study, we aimed to examine how Portuguese physical education teachers perceive the development of physical fitness through fitness tests in schools. The participants were 764 Portuguese teachers teaching at middle-school and high-school levels. The Physical Education Teacher Attitudes Toward Fitness Tests Scale (PETAFTS) was used to collect the data. The means and confidence intervals for each attitude subdomain and the overall attitude were computed. A one-way ANOVA was used to examine the group differences in three subdomains of the attitudes of teachers by different variables. The overall attitude of teachers toward fitness tests was slightly positive according to a 7-point Likert scale (5.52, 95% CI: 5.47, 5.58). The results suggested that female teachers found fitness tests more useful, but male teachers significantly enjoyed implementing them. The data collected also showed that younger teachers found the implementation of fitness tests significantly more enjoyable than older teachers. In conclusion, future research should prioritise specific intervention content considering gender and the age of teachers to reinforce the development of physical fitness through fitness tests in schools.

Beyond the Classroom: Investigating the Relationship between Psychomotor Development and Academic Achievement in 4–12-Year-Olds

Children (2024)

Nídia De Amorim Adilson Marques Sofia Santos

Background/Objectives: The relevance of psychomotor skills in children’s growth is being increasingly recognized. The transversal role of psychomotor skills in learning performance is described through a link between cognitive and motor functioning, promoting socio-affective–expressive competencies, but there is a scarcity of evidence from the field. A two-fold goal was defined: to investigate the relationship between psychomotor functions and academic performance and to examine the factors affecting children’s academic performance. Methods: The Portuguese versions of the Neuropsychomotor Functions Assessment Battery for Children (NPmot.pt), Preschool Diagnostic Tasks (PRE), and School Learning Skills Battery (SLSB) were applied to 350 children (85.72 ± 24.23 months) with and without disabilities attending mainstream schools. Results: Pearson correlations and regression analyses were used. NPmot.pt domains showed moderate to strong correlations with PRE domains (0.30 < r < 0.82) and weak ones with SLSB domains (r < 0.30). Psychomotor development is a stronger predictor (p < 0.001) of pre-academic performance outcomes: (βTonus = 0.67, βGross Motor Skills = 1.04, βSpatial Orientation = −1.44, βRhythm = −1.59 and βAuditory Attention = 3.68) than of academic performance above 7 years old (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Results strengthen the importance of psychomotor skills development from an early age, also at school, with implications for an early psychomotor assessment and intervention for children with and without disabilities. Tailor-fit interventions, including strategies to improve psychomotor skills, should be promoted during the school process of all children for a successful learning process.
