Effect of tapering on anaerobic power and capacity of tae-kwon-do athletes
Abstract The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of a tapering period on anaerobic power and capacity of tae-kwon-do athletes. Thirty-one male tae-kwon-do participants of the Brazilian Championship were selected in a non-probabilistic way.

Repeatability and intra-rater reproducibility of a digitalized test of body image perception
Abstract A body schema is a cortical representation of the spatial relations of body parts. It can be evaluated using the Image Marking Procedure (IMP). However, that instrument lacks information regarding its reliability and a standardized set of procedures. The aim of this study was to test the repeatability and intra-rater reproducibility of an adapted IMP. Methods: It consisted of two steps: (1) adaptation of the instrument; (2) verification of its reliability. Sixty-five young adult women were evaluated on two different days by a single rater, with a one-week interval between evaluations. Three consecutive measurement...

Sport classification for athletes with visual impairment and its relation with swimming performance
Abstract The medical classification (MC) adopted for swimmers with vision visual impairment (VI) does not clearly elucidate the influence of vision loss on performance. In a documentary research, the final time in the 50-, 100- and 400-m freestyle events and MC (S11, S12 and S13) of national (n = 40) and international (n = 72) elite swimmers was analyzed. The analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman ’ s correlation with 95% confidence (P< 0.05) and Cohen ’ s d was calculated. There was a large effect of MC on the final time in the 50-m (P = 0.034, d = 1.55) for national athletes and in the 5...

Combined physical activity and sitting time and their contribution to body mass index in adults
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the contribution of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) to Body Mass Index (BMI) in adults. The study was conducted in 2009, in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil with adults aged 18-65 years (1,411). A multidimensional questionnaire was used in which BMI, weekly minutes of PA and ST were obtained from self-reports. PA and ST were combined to determine the following independent variables: a) “ active and not sedentary ” ; b) “ active and sedentary ” ; c) “ not active and not sedentary ” and d) “ not active and sedentary ” . Multinomial logistic regressions wer...

Psychomotor Intervention to stimulate Motor Development in 8-10-year-old schoolchildren
Abstract The human being does not have static development throughout life. From conception to death, there are physical, psychological, social transformations and modifications, being vulnerable to restrictions. Interventions seek to reduce the effects of these restrictions, as children and adolescents are influenced by impoverished motor experiences in the family and school environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an intervention program on 8-10-year-old schoolchildren in the public school system of Matinhos/PR, Brazil.

Effect of post-activation potentiation in Athletics: a systematic review
Abstract Post-activation potentiation is a physiological phenomenon reported to increase muscle performance during high-intensity exercise. To induce post-activation potentiation, maximal strength or power short-duration activities are performed minutes prior the main activity in an attempt to enhance performance. The aim of this study was to evaluate previous publications on the effects of post-activation potentiation on athletic performance.

Is respiratory exchange ratio an alternative to estimate anaerobic threshold in trained runners?
In conclusion, iRER1.0 can be used as an alternative method to detect AT in long distance runners. However, its use is limited in runners with high aerobic capacity.Resumo Diversos estudos demonstram que a raz ão de troca respiratória (RER) tem sido utilizada como uma alternativa para estimar a capacidade aeróbia em único teste incremental. No entanto, poucos estudos foram realizados com corredores treinados. Sendo assim, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a utilização do RER como uma alternativa para estimar o limiar anaeróbio (AT) em corredores de longa distância. Dezenove corredores de longa distância do sexo ma...
