No dia 3 de dezembro, 3ª feira, terá lugar o Seminário CONSTRAINTS-LED APPROACH IN TENNIS, na Faculdade de Motricidade Humana e Centro de Alto Rendimento no Jamor.
Este seminário resulta de uma parceria entre a Faculdade de Motricidade Humana (FMH), a International Tennis Federation (ITF) e a Federação Portuguesa de Ténis (FPT) e tem como objetivo aprofundar conhecimentos sobre o treino utilizando a abordagem baseada em constrangimentos aplicada ao ténis, dotando os treinadores de ferramentas que lhes permitam desenhar o treino dentro deste paradigma.
Destinatários:
Este evento é direcionado a treinadores de ténis e outros desportos de todos os níveis, desde a iniciação até ao alto rendimento, e outros interessados em intervir nesta área.
Horário:
9h30 – 12h e 14h00 – 16h30
Esta ação é creditada pelo IPDJ para Técnicos de Exercício Físico/Director Técnico (TEF/DT) e Treinador (TD), com 1 UC sendo que as unidades de crédito são atribuídas a quem assistir presencialmente à totalidade do seminário.
O evento será ministrado em inglês.

In an independent analysis using the Scopus database, John Ioannidis (Stanford University, USA) published a standardized analysis with information about the top 2% of researchers worldwide. The study examined the researchers' impact throughout their careers and, in 2023, on all research fields or specific domains.
The standardized analysis for each researcher valued impact rather than productivity and can be accessed here: https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/7
For the impact throughout their careers in all research fields, 4 CIPER-FMH researchers are in the top 2% of the world: Luís Sardinha, Duarte Araújo, Analiza Silva, and Pedro Teixeira.

No dia 6 de junho às 17h, a final da competição 3 Minutos de Tese (3MT), promovida pela Universidade de Lisboa, terá lugar no Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência.
Henrique Brito, aluno de Doutoramento do BIOLAD-CIPER, é um dos 12 finalistas e um dos 4 representantes da área de Ciências Médicas e da Saúde!
Nesta final, 12 finalistas e estudantes de Doutoramento da Universidade de Lisboa (ULisboa) apresentarão em apenas três minutos, recorrendo a um único diapositivo, o impacto da sua investigação a um público não especializado e perante um júri composto por especialistas das diversas áreas das Escolas da ULisboa.

Duarte Araújo co-authored an article describing futsal coaches' gaze behavior in offensive and defensive game moments using an expert-novice paradigm, published in the International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport. Read here: https://doi.org/10.1080/24748668.2024.2354113.
This study showed that expert coaches focused more on the players without the ball and on the free space. In contrast, novice coaches focused more on the ball and the attacker with the ball. Results also indicate that visual exploration is specific to futsal game moments.

Duarte Araújo co-authored a paper on ecological literacy as an ongoing process of learning to relate with a place through implicated participation. Learning to relate, to care, and to participate are key expressions of ecological literacy, published in New Ideas in Psychology. Read here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.newideapsych.2024.101079

Henrique Brito, Henrique Lopes, Margarida Carvalho, Daniel Carrilho, Adriano Carvalho, and Duarte Araújo co-authored an article about the effects of nature-based vs. indoor settings on the adaptability, performance, and affect of calisthenics exercisers, published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise. Read here https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychsport.2024.102626
This registered report investigated how engaging in similar calisthenics exercises in nature-based and indoor settings differed in affective valence, perceived exertion, visual attention, movement adaptability, heart rate variability, and performance. The results showed that nature-based environments can influence movement adaptability and improve performance. This study showed how action is specific to task-environment.
