- Editorial for the 1st edition special issue “benefits of physical activity and exercise to human health”Publication . Ferraz, Ricardo; Neiva, Henrique P.; Fernanda M. Silva; Duarte-Mendes, PedroRecent estimates indicate that the prevalence of insufficient physical activity has been increasing globally, with nearly one third of adults (31.3%) [1] and eight in ten adolescents (81%) [2] not meeting the World Health Organization physical activity guidelines (i.e., 150–300 min per week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity for adults and 60 min per day for children and adolescents [3]). According to authors [1,2], if the current trajectory continues, the global target of a 15% relative reduction in insufficient physical activity by 2030 [4] is unlikely to be achieved in most countries. This data are concerning given that, globally, 7.2% of all-cause deaths and 7.6% of cardiovascular disease deaths are attributable to physical inactivity [5]. Physical activity and exercise are widely recognized for promoting numerous health benefits, particularly in the prevention and management of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases [6,7], as well as in supporting immune function, reducing the risk of infectious diseases, improving mental health, and contributing to cancer prevention and control [8]. Moreover, regular engagement in these behaviors is associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality [9]. From a public health perspective, developing and implementing evidence-based strategies to increase physical activity and improve population health remains a global priority [8]. In this context, this Special Issue aims to advance knowledge on the role of physical activity and exercise interventions in promoting health and well-being across the lifespan. The contributions examine the effects of different exercise modalities on physical, cognitive, and mental health, as well as the role of physical activity in disease prevention and management and in improving functional capacity and quality of life across diverse populations. Collectively, the twelve papers included in this Special Issue provide complementary perspectives on these topics.
- A trama viva como ontoepistemologia pedagógica situada: fenomenologia social e educação intergeracional na Universidade da Maturidade (UMA/UFT) na Amazônia LegalPublication . Souza, Marileide Carvalho de; Osório, Neila Barbosa; Neto, Luiz Sinésio da Silva; Santos, Jocyléia Santana; de Pinho, Maria José; Jesus, Djanires Lageano Neto de; Pocinho, Ricardo; Rech, Nair GonçalvesEste artigo investiga os significados das práticas pedagógicas intergeracionais desenvolvidas na Universidade da Maturidade da Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UMA/UFT), à luz da fenomenologia social de Alfred Schutz, com ênfase na Trama Viva, ontoepistemologia pedagógica situada concebida e desenvolvida por Neila Barbosa Osório ao longo de vinte anos de práxis pedagógica em vinte e dois polos e com mais de sete mil e quinhentos sujeitos formados. A pesquisa adota abordagem qualitativa de inspiração fenomenológica e articula a fenomenologia husserliana, a fenomenologia social de Schutz, a fenomenologia da corporeidade de Merleau-Ponty, a pedagogia crítica de Paulo Freire e bell hooks, bem como os fundamentos metodológicos do método fenomenológico descritivo de Amedeo Giorgi. O campo empírico abrange seis polos da UMA/UFT no Tocantins (Palmas, ianópolis, Tocantínia, Araguaína, Tocantinópolis e Brejinho de Nazaré), com horizonte comparativo projetado para o Polo de Soure, em Portugal. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de 35 entrevistas fenomenológicas, rodas de memória, observação participante e diário de campo. Os resultados revelam que as práticas pedagógicas intergeracionais da UMA/UFT se constituem como experiências de construção intersubjetiva de sentidos, nas quais memória, narrativa, corporeidade, território e pertencimento se entrelaçam, promovendo a ressignificação do envelhecer, a legitimação dos saberes da experiência, a reconstrução biográfica dos participantes, a destipificação do etarismo e a ampliação do sentimento de pertencimento à universidade e à comunidade. Concluise nesse período de qualificação pelas pesquisas realizadas, que a educação intergeracional, quando fundamentada na fenomenologia social e mediada pela Trama Viva, constitui prática de liberdade, humanização, reconhecimento e produção de conhecimento.
- Co-Occurrence of lifestyle risk behaviors among physical education and sport university students: evidence from a cluster analysisPublication . Santos, Vanessa; Serpa, Joana; Parreira, Mariana; Correia, Vanda; Marconcin, PriscilaBackground: Health-related behaviors often cluster during young adulthood, potentially increasing the risk of long-term adverse health outcomes. Understanding how lifestyle risk behaviors co-occur among university students is essential for developing targeted health promotion strategies. Objective: This study aimed to identify lifestyle risk profiles among university students based on the co-occurrence of smoking behavior, alcohol consumption, sedentary behavior, and body weight status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 147 university students enrolled in a physical education and sport undergraduate program (mean age: 20.58 ± 2.94 years; 80.3% male). Physical activity and sedentary behavior were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF), while smoking and alcohol consumption were selfreported. Body mass index was used to classify weight status. Lifestyle risk profiles were identified using two-step cluster analysis based on regular smoking, alcohol consumption, sedentary behavior, and overweight/obesity. Differences in cluster distribution according to sex and federated athlete status were examined using chi-square tests. A two-step cluster analysis based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and silhouette measure was used to identify lifestyle risk profiles. Results: Overall, 46.9% of participants had experimented with tobacco, 11.6% were current smokers, and 74.8% reported alcohol consumption. Participants accumulated an average of 3772.25 ± 1957.99 MET-min/week of physical activity. Three distinct lifestyle risk profiles were identified. Cluster 1 (46.9%), labeled the alcohol profile, was characterized by alcohol consumption without smoking and no prevalence of being overweight. Cluster 2 (20.4%), the multiple-risk profile, included participants who reported regular smoking, with nearly half presenting sedentary behavior and overweight/obesity. Cluster 3 (32.7%), the overweight profile, was characterized by overweight/obesity combined with alcohol consumption but no smoking. No significant differences were observed in the distribution of lifestyle profiles according to sex (p = 0.111) or federated athlete status (p = 0.087). Conclusions: Lifestyle risk behaviors cluster into distinct profiles among university students, with alcohol consumption appearing across multiple profiles and smoking concentrated in a specific high-risk group. These findings highlight the need for targeted health promotion strategies addressing multiple co-occurring behaviors within university populations.
- Contributions to a theoretical-practical analysis of the efficiency of cine-imagetic typography in the reading experiencePublication . Filipe Martins, Nuno; Mendes da Silva, Bruno; Marques, Tiago NavarroThe thematic of this research, questions the imagistic quality of the written word and the inherent artistic conventions of combination of form, typography, and composition. The focus of this analysis is the significance of typographic compositions, in which words acquire an intentional visualization that can be “understood” even before verbal reading. To our analysis, we used a selection of poems from Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen to question: How can we amplify semantics and emotional perception of a poem? To answer it, we used a practice-based research methodology defined as a/r/tography (Irwin 2013) and a/r/cography (Veiga 2020), articulated with interpretative phenomenology, ethnographic studies, case studies analysis, focus groups, artistic references analysis, visual research, user-centred research, that helped the construction of typographic laboratory to collect data. The result was the validation of the prototype typographic laboratory, with user experience data collection in an event with a real audience which enhanced the experience of the final interactive typographic installation. The contribution of this research is through the visual interpretation of poems, to create a media-art experience that defies an audience to perceive it and interact in various ways and to the creation of knowledge about imagistic typographic approaches, the use of kinetic an interactive behaviour, to amplify the significance of static text, in ways that can be influential trough the mediation of the reading experience.
- “Looking for a better future”: examining African Portuguese-speaking students’ motivation to study in Portuguese higher educationPublication . Doutor, Catarina; Alves, NatáliaBackground/purpose. While the existing literature explores the internalization of higher education, a significant gap remains in comprehending the motivations behind international students choosing Portuguese higher education. This study aims to address this gap by examining the motivations of a specific group within Portuguese universities: international students from Portuguese speaking African countries. Materials/methods. The study was conducted with a qualitative approach using data obtained from biographical interviews with African Portuguese-speaking international students. The collected data were then analyzed according to content analysis. Results. The findings demonstrate that the students’ motivations for studying at Portuguese higher education institutions varied. Their reasons include the international reputation of Portugal, the quality of its education, upon recommendation from family members, the Portuguese language, lower tuition fees compared to their home institutions, cultural proximity, scholarship opportunities, and the perception of Portugal as a safe country.
- Estudantes guineenses no ensino superior em Portugal: barreiras e recomendaçõesPublication . Doutor, CatarinaO presente estudo centra-se na experiência dos estudantes internacionais provenientes dos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa no Ensino Superior em Portugal, concretamente nos guineenses. Pretendeu-se identificar e compreender as barreiras experienciadas na sua trajetória universitária, bem como apresentar recomendações para a melhoria quer da integração social, quer do sucesso académico. Nesta lógica, foram entrevistados onze indivíduos que frequentavam uma universidade portuguesa. Os resultados mostram que os estudantes são confrontados, desde logo, com diversas barreiras que condicionam não só a adaptação e integração social, como a aprendizagem e sobretudo o sucesso. Destacam-se, assim, a morosidade da obtenção dos vistos de estudo, a fraca proficiência na língua portuguesa, a escassez de alojamento e as questões socioculturais. Acrescem ainda as dificuldades financeiras, de adaptação ao novo espaço académico e de aprendizagem. Por fim, apresenta-se um conjunto de recomendações que visa melhorar significativamente a integração e o sucesso deste grupo estudantil em Portugal.
- Cocreation of the tourism experience at international sport tourism eventsPublication . Mascarenhas, Margarida; Alves, Joana; Pereira, Elsa; Martins, RuteThe cocreation of the tourist experience in sporting events has received little scientific attention. This study aimed to analyze the influence of cocreation of the tourist experience on the memorability of the experience through the attention and involvement of sporting event tourists, and to verify whether this influence changes with the type of experience (i.e., active participant vs. spectator). A total of 356 questionnaires was collected at two international cycling events held in Portugal in 2021. The data were analyzed with structural equation analysis and a Mann–Whitney test. Cocreation influences attention and involvement, which, in turn, help to explain the relationship between cocreation and memorability, highlighting differences between the two types of experience. For the first time, the on-site cocreation model was applied to sport tourism events. In this touristic context, experiences must be developed through a customized approach based on the creation of hedonic and eudaimonic experiences.
- Innovación en as Universida des Brasileñas y políticas públicas para la educación en líneaPublication . Fossatti, Paulo; Prado, Henrique Sartori de Almeida; Ganga-Contreras, Francisco AnibalEl presente artículo aborda la justificación de una nueva regulación de la Educación en línea (EL) en Brasil, una necesidad urgente y necesaria; por lo tanto, el objetivo del estudio es reflexionar críticamente sobre la necesidad de una nueva política pública para la educación superior brasileña en la modalidad a distancia, considerando su contribución a la innovación de las universidades brasileñas. El problema aquí abordado es el siguiente: ¿cuál es la nueva política pública para la educación superior brasileña en la modalidad EL para que contribuya a la innovación? La metodología utilizada es cualitativa, ya que incluye la revisión de la literatura sobre el panorama brasileño, así como el análisis documental del Ministerio de Educación, especialmente con soporte de los datos estadísticos del Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Educativas Anísio Teixeira (INEP). Otra herramienta de recolección de información es el uso del diario de campo. Los resultados apuntan al fenómeno de la democratización del acceso a la educación superior a través de la modalidad EL, que se populariza cada vez más en todo Brasil. La EL tiene un papel singular en la democratización de la educación brasileña, ya que llega a lugares donde las universidades presenciales no han llegado. Asimismo, facilita la inclusión y permanencia de estudiantes que enfrentan restricciones de horarios fijos para estudiar, además de las barreras geográficas y económicas. La importancia de una nueva política pública para la educación superior brasileña en la modalidad EL será un mecanismo para garantizar su calidad en la oferta y como, en consecuencia, contribuirá a la innovación de las universidades brasileñas, formando personas competentes para la vida y el mercado.

- Assessment of recreational and tourist cycling routes. case study in the west region of PortugalPublication . Carvalhinho, Luís; Pereira, Elsa; Durão, Rosana Corga Fernandes; Rosa, PauloRecreational and tourist cycling routes in Portugal, namely in the west coast region, have been growing sharply in recent years. This trend can be generalized throughout the country, considering the importance of the strategy outlined by the Portuguese Cycling Federation, to reach more people, to offer better practice conditions, and contributing to the sustainability of the regions. In order to ensure a quality offer in terms of cycling related products, 13 routes were assessed in the territory of Caldas da Rainha municipality, as part of its Cycling Center project. An innovative methodological approach was used based on the regulations for the approval of Portuguese cycling routes, which involved different stakeholders, focus group, data triangulation, with different points of assessment, techniques and emerging technological instruments, facilitating greater depth in data collection. The results allowed for the assessment of a balanced distribution of routes and existing resources, in terms of technical difficulty, level of physical effort and touristic and landscape interest. The quality of conditions for sports and recreation can contribute to the promotion of active lifestyles, safety, comfort, the attraction of tourists and the promotion of the heritage and sustainability of the territory. Management implications: • Cycling Routes can contribute to the deseasonalisation of outdoor-based tourism demand. • The participation of stakeholders (e.g. cyclists, clubs, companies, municipality) can contribute to the development of a cycling tourism destination. • Planners should identify the specific needs of this segment to design and manage the offer. • Specialized services are needed to support recreational cycling and tourism. • Cycling tourism products should value the points of interest of the territory, and the satisfaction of cyclists, also considering, the level of difficulty of each route • The cycling industry can help improve destination positioning. • Climate, safety and the quality of natural resources are key to enhancing a cycling tourism destination.
