Do muscular strength and jump power tests reflect the effectiveness of training programs for basketball athletes?

Motriz (Online); 24 (4), 2018
Muscular strength (MS) and jump power (JP) tests are used to assess athletic ability and measure the effectiveness of training programs. However, their use in various sport modalities needs to be investigated further. This study aimed to explore the changes in MS and JP during three different moments of ...

Estratificação de risco na prevenção primária de morte súbita na cardiomiopatia hipertrófica: desenvolvimento de um escore prognóstico
Risk stratification of sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: development of a prognostic score

A cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CMH) é uma doença genética, caracterizada por hipertrofia ventricular na ausência de condições que levem a sobrecarga sobre o coração. É a principal causa de morte súbita (MS) em adultos jovens, com incidência anual = 1%. Entre os marcadores de risco (MR) destac...

The peak velocity of Carminatti's Test for aerobic-fitness training in male soccer players

Abstract Aerobic energy transference is highly required and accounts for more than 90% of total energy consumption during a soccer match. In addition high aerobic fitness contributes to recovery from high-intensity intermittent exercise, specific to performance in soccer. The aim of the present study was...
