- The influence of physical activity on sleep quality in people living with HIV: a scoping reviewPublication . Cordeiro, Jéssica Fernanda Correa; Anjos, Jeferson Roberto Collevatti dos; Bohn, Lucimere; Bilhadori, Joana; Moraes, Chimenny Auluã Lascas Cardoso de; Andaki, Allyne; Mendes, Edmar Lacerda; Mota, Jorge; Correia, Igor Massari; Santos, André Pereira dos; Machado, Dalmo Roberto LopesObjective: To map the evidence on the effects of physical activity on sleep quality in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). Methods: A scoping review was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO Sport Discus/ CINAHL, and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Additionally, Google Scholar and OpenGrey servers were checked. There were no language or publication year restrictions for the search. Primary studies that evaluated the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality in PLHIV were included. Two researchers performed the analysis and selection of studies independently, following established criteria. Results: Nine studies were included, covering experimental, cross-sectional, and cohort studies. The results suggest that physical activity is associated with reduced sleep latency, longer sleep duration, and overall improvements in sleep efficiency and subjective perception of sleep quality. These results indicate that exercise-based interventions can be incorporated as complementary strategies to improve sleep in this population. However, methodological variability limits the generalization of the results. Future studies should focus on longitudinal designs and standardized assessment methods. Conclusion: Adequate physical activity levels appear to positively influence sleep quality in PLHIV.
- Uma cidade portuguesa no coração do BrasilPublication . Baptista Gil, Francisco; Sousa, Fábio d'Abadia deNeste texto, analisamos as principais semelhanças entre a arquitetura barroca da Cidade de Goiás (fundada em 1727, pelo bandeirante paulista Bartolomeu Bueno da Silva) e a arquitetura portuguesa. A cidade é o caso mais emblemáticos de preservação de construções do período colonial português no Centro-Oeste brasileiro, o que permite, claramente, identificar vários elementos arquitetónicos que são muito parecidos com os das edificações mais antigas encontradas em Portugal, principalmente na região sul de Portugal.
- Effects of combined aerobic-resistance training on health-related quality of life and stress in sedentary adultsPublication . Fernanda M. Silva; Ferreira, José P.; Teixeira, Ana M.; Massart, Alain; Duarte-Mendes, PedroIntroduction: Poor quality of life and psychological stress have been associated with worse clinical outcomes, including anxiety and depression disorders, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and premature mortality. Evidence suggested that physically active adults were more likely to report better quality of life and increased capacity to deal with stress, compared to their sedentary peers. This study examines the effects of 16 weeks of combined aerobic and resistance exercise training on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and stress levels in sedentary adults. Methods: This study involved previously sedentary middle-aged workers (n = 36), randomized, and allocated into control (n = 18) and exercise (n = 18) groups. The exercise group performed 16 weeks of combined exercise training for 75 min, three times/week. The HRQoL was assessed using the SF-36 survey and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Stress levels were assessed subjectively using the Perceived Stress Scale and objectively by the salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase concentrations. Intra- and inter-group analysis were performed using a mixed ANOVA or Friedman’s test. Results: In relation to SF-36 results, a significant improvement in the mental component summary (p = 0.047, Kendall’s W = 0.170 (small effect)) and social functioning subdomain (p = 0.040, Kendall’s W = 0.179 (small effect)) was found for the exercise group after the intervention. A significant difference between groups was found in mean differences (Δ) in the mental health subdomain, with superiority in the exercise group (exercise group, Δ = 7.50 vs. control group, Δ = −5.00; p = 0.006). After 16 weeks of follow-up, the exercise group perceived reduced stress levels compared to the control group (exercise group, Δ = −3.67 points vs. control group, Δ = 0.94 points; p > 0.05); although not significant, this result is clinically relevant. The exercise program had no significant effect on salivary stress biomarkers. Discussion: The present study’s findings may have important clinical implications because they show that middle-aged sedentary workers are likely to benefit from adopting a regular combined exercise training regimen to promote better HRQoL (i.e., mental health component) and wellbeing.
- Physical training protocols for improving dyspnea and fatigue in long COVID: a systematic review with meta-analysisPublication . Mazzonetto, Lisa Fernanda; Cordeiro, Jéssica Fernanda Correa; Correia, Igor Massari; Oliveira, Alcivandro de Sousa; Moraes, Chimenny; Brilhadori, Joana; Gomide, Eurípedes Barsanulfo Gonçalves; Kudlacek, Michal; Machado, Dalmo Roberto Lopes; Anjos, Jeferson Roberto Collevatti dos; Santos, André Pereira dosObjective: This study aimed to evaluate physical training protocols for alleviating long COVID symptoms, especially dyspnea and fatigue, through a systematic review with meta-analysis. Method: Data were collected from EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, and grey literature (Google Scholar, medRxiv). Studies evaluating dyspnea and/or fatigue before and after physical rehabilitation, using validated questionnaires, were included. Studies lacking pre- and post-assessments or physical training were excluded. Two reviewers independently extracted data on intervention type, duration, frequency, intensity, and assessment methods for dyspnea and fatigue. Bias risk was evaluated using the Cochrane tool. Results: Combined methods, such as respiratory muscle training with strength and aerobic exercise, were common for long COVID symptoms. Aerobic exercise notably improved dyspnea and/or fatigue. Among 25 studies, four had a low risk of bias. Meta-analysis of two studies found no significant reduction in fatigue. Conclusion: Combined training methods, particularly aerobic exercise, alleviate dyspnea and fatigue in long COVID. More high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.
- "Quem se importa? Vozes de adolescentes sobre igualdade de género em cinco países europeus"Publication . Coimbra Vieira, Cristina Maria; Costa, Cristina; Charoudi, Maria; Brie, Laura; Sezgin, Koksal; Medvešek, TjašaApesar da longa lista de recomendações políticas internacionais destinadas a erradicar todas as formas de discriminação com base no sexo e no género, cada país europeu continua a enfrentar diferentes desafios internos. Envolver as gerações mais jovens na análise de problemas reais, através de iniciativas na comunidade, e respeitar uma abordagem escolar holística têm sido estratégias eficazes para introduzir as questões de género na educação formal. Este foi o objetivo do projeto Erasmus+ «Igualdade em Ação» (2019- 2022), que envolveu cinco países europeus. O artigo apresenta as perceções de 114 estudantes com idades entre os 14 e os 18 anos de Portugal, Grécia, Roménia, Turquia e Eslovénia sobre as cinco questões mais importantes em matéria de igualdade de género que continuam por resolver nos seus países, bem como as propostas que sugerem para as solucionar. No final das atividades em cada escola e do intercâmbio entre as turmas dos diferentes países, crianças e jovens preencheram um questionário aberto online, onde revelaram ter tomado consciência sobre diversas áreas da vida pessoal e coletiva, em que existem desigualdades entre mulheres e homens resultantes de uma certa ordem social, que pode ser corrigida. As gerações mais jovens são capazes, de facto, de participar na construção de uma sociedade melhor, sendo críticas e atentas a si próprias e aos outros.

- Effects of a land and aquatic exercise-based program on pain, mobility and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trialPublication . Borges, Joana; Monteiro, Diogo; Silva, Manuela Fernanda Gomes Moreira da; Jacinto, Miguel; Pastilha, Tiago; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Shabnam ShahAliChronic low back pain (CLBP) is a disease with significant functional, emotional and social impact. Several interventions are proposed for its management and exercise is one of main, land-based or water-based. This study describes a randomized controlled trial that will analyze the effect of a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program compared to an aquatic-based program on pain, functional incapacity and quality of life in adults with CLBP. Additionally, it will analyze the effects of exercise cessation in the same outcomes.
- The effect of smoking on lung function changes during a 16-week combined exercise program in middle-aged workers: a latent growth curve analysisPublication . Silva, Manuela Fernanda Gomes Moreira da; Ferreira, José P.; Teixeira, Ana M.; Monteiro, Diogo; Duarte-Mendes, PedroPurpose To investigate the longitudinal changes in lung function of sedentary middle-aged workers over a 16-week combined exercise training program. Methods Thirty-six sedentary workers (53.70±6.92 years old) were randomly allocated to either a combined aerobic and resistance training program (n=18) or a control group (n=18). Lung function was evaluated through spirometry using a portable fow spirometer (Spiropalm 6MWT, Cosmed, Italy). Predicted percentages of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the frst second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, and mean forced expiratory fow between 25 and 75% of exhaled FVC (FEF25–75) were analyzed. Assessments were performed at baseline (M1), after 8-week (M2) and 16-week follow-up (M3). The changes in lung function were analyzed using the Latent Growth Curve Modeling that estimated interindividual and intraindividual growth paths. Results Smoking status revealed a signifcant efect on lung function growth with signifcant paths to intercept and slope for all models in both groups. The exercise group participants who are non-smokers revealed higher increases in FVC% (β=.22), FEV1% (β=.08), FEV1/FVC% ratio (β=.19), and FEF25–75% (β=.06) compared to those who are smokers from M1 to M3. The control group revealed a lower growth in lung function from M1 to M3, with a lower slope observed in smokers compared to non-smokers for FVC% (β=−.44), FEV1% (β=−.41), FEV1/FVC% (β=−.98), and FEF25–75% (β=−.52). Conclusion Our fndings suggest that a 16-week combined training program is an efective strategy to improve lung function among sedentary workers, with a higher magnitude of improvement for non-smokers compared to smokers.

- Europeanisation of adult education – prospects and challenges?Publication . Špolar, Vida A Mohorčič; Barros, RosannaTwo decades since the Lisbon Agenda, Europeanisation keeps appeal and relevance and has dramatically changed the way public policy is made. Competitive globalisation keeps accelerating the ways the political arena develops in Europe, with a set of impacts and shifts in domestic agendas. Several generations of governance processes, implemented as ‘soft power’ exercises, first based on ‘shared responsibility’ and then on ‘integrated surveillance’, have created the conditions to significantly expand the EU’s sphere of intervention.
- Exploring the relationship between daily sedentary time and occurrence of multimorbidity in middle-aged and older adults: results from ELSI-BrazilPublication . Cordeiro, Jéssica Fernanda Corrêa; Santos, André Pereira dos; Bohn, Lucimere; Sebastião, Emerson; Marchiori, Gianna Fiori; Gomide, Euripedes Barsanulfo Gonçalves; Castro-Piñero, Jose; Florindo, Alex Antonio; Mota, Jorge; Machado, Dalmo Roberto LopesAimTo explore the relationship between varying durations of sedentary time (ST) in hours per day and multimorbidity, while considering covariates such as non-compliance to moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendations, age, sex, and smoking in middle-aged and older adults.MethodsData from the first wave (2015-2016) of the nationally-representative Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) were analyzed. Ordinary regression analysis was utilized to assess the odds ratio for individuals with varying daily ST durations concerning the escalation in the number of diseases while accounting for covariates such as failure to meet MVPA recommendations, age, sex, and smoking status.ResultsA cohort of 7,314 individuals aged 50-105 years (56,3% females) participated in the study. The most prevalent occurrence of multimorbidity was having 2 conditions (1521/19.3%). A clear trend emerges, showing a rise in the number of multimorbidities as ST increase. Notably, individuals engaging in less than 4 h of daily ST exhibited a significantly lower likelihood of experiencing an increase in the total number of multimorbidity cases, with an odds ratio of 0.842 and a confidence interval of 0.764 to 0.928, even after adjusting for potential covariables.ConclusionsOur findings indicate a progressive increase in multimorbidity with longer durations of ST. Moreover, limiting ST to less than 4 h daily was associated with a lower chance of multimorbidity.
