- Olhar ou ver o consumo e os gastos que os alunos fazem na escolaPublication . Couto, A.; Maia-Lima, C.; Barbot, António; Castro, A.; Pinto, A.O dinheiro influencia fortemente a conduta humana, pelo que é fundamental, desde cedo, ensinar a criança a fazer a sua gestão de uma forma consciente. Este estudo tenta conhecer, no contexto escolar, os consumos e os gastos efetuados pelos alunos de uma turma de 5º ano e perceber se as ações de sensibilização surtem os efeitos desejáveis em matéria de consumo, poupança e saúde. As conclusões obtidas indicam que os participantes fazem uma gestão autónoma do seu dinheiro, mas, o envolvimento neste projeto contribuiu para uma diminuição dos seus gastos e para um consumo de alimentos saudáveis em maior quantidade
- Short-latency responses in chronic ankle instabilityPublication . Valente, I.M.; Pinto, A.; Santos, Rubim; Sousa, Andreia Sofia Pinheiro deAnkle proprioceptive impairments after ankle sprain appear to be in the origin of the neuromuscular dysfunction in Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI), however the analysis of this condition has been focused on a unilateral approach. Considering that proprioceptive information have a determinant role in ipsilesional limb responses but also the contralesional ones, the present study aims to analyze the bilateral Short Latency Responses (SLR) in response to an unilateral perturbation in individuals with CAI. Two groups of athletes participated in the present study. One was composed by participants presenting CAI (CAI group, n = 16), while the other was composed by participants not presenting ankle sprain episodes (control group, n = 20). The electromyographic activity of the Peroneal Brevis and Longus (PB and PL), Tibialis Anterior (TA) and Soleus (SOL) muscles was collected during a unilateral sudden inversion perturbation in both the support and perturbed limbs. The timing of muscle activation of both limbs was used for analysis. Delayed SLR of TA (p = 0.009) and in SOL (p = 0.042) muscles were observed in the contralesional limb of the CAI group in the support position compared to the control group. In CAI group, delayed SLR of PB (p = 0.023) and SOL (p = 0.004) muscles was found in the contralesional limb in the support position compared to the ipsilesional one. The rehabilitation of individuals with CAI should also be focused on the contralesional limb while assuming a support position and also, contralesional limb should not be considered a reference for comparison between limbs.
- The management of student´s virtual money – sensibilisation and learning for lifePublication . Couto, A.; Maia-Lima, C.; Castro, A.; Aboim, S.; Pinto, A.; Barbot, AntónioThe advanced technological age, marketing and society of the abundance in which we live, have a strong influence on the consumption and eating habits of the children. Every day in schools, these little human beings make autonomous choices and their parents, despite seeking to control and know their actions, cannot do it entirely for many reasons. The study was carried out in a group of the fifth grade and their results were subjected to a descriptive and inferential analysis, in which the purpose was to study the relation of some of the variables in question. The conclusions point for example to the parents' lack of knowledge in what concerns the type of consumption and on how their students spend their money. So it can be said that the role of the school in raising responsible citizens in managing their money is a necessary and continuous learning throughout the school life.
