Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, validation, and reliability of the University of Wisconsin running injury and recovery index to Brazilian Portuguese (UWRI-BR).

Objective: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery (UWRI) to Brazilian Portuguese (UWRI-BR) and assess its psychometric properties.

Methods: The Brazilian version of the UWRI questionnaire was based on the guideline proposed by Guillemin. The UWRI was translated, back-translated, and culturally adapted.

Effects of intrinsic foot muscle strengthening on the medial longitudinal arch mobility and function: A systematic review.

Objective: To Investigate the effects of intrinsic foot muscle (IFM) strengthening on foot's medial longitudinal arch (MLA) mobility and function in healthy individuals. We also identified exercise type and resistance training characteristics (series and repetitions).

Methods: Eight databases were searched, between October 2020 and February 2021 and updated in May 2021.

Identification of muscle fatigue by tracking facial expressions.

Resistance training (RT) is performed at distinct levels of intensity from the beginning to the end of exercise sets, increasing the sensation of effort as the exercise progress to more vigorous levels, commonly leading to changes on the facial expression of RT practitioners. The objective of this study is to evaluate changes in facial expressions using the Facial Action Coding System(FACS) and the activation of facial muscles by surface electromyography(sEMG) at two different levels of effort during resistance exercise and to investigate the correlation between facial expression and exercise intensity and fatigue. Eleven healthy male participants [23±6years; 1.

Assessing experience in the deliberate practice of running using a fuzzy decision-support system.

The judgement of skill experience and its levels is ambiguous though it is crucial for decision-making in sport sciences studies. We developed a fuzzy decision support system to classify experience of non-elite distance runners. Two Mamdani subsystems were developed based on expert running coaches' knowledge.

Dynamic Patterns of Forces and Loading Rate in Runners with Unilateral Plantar Fasciitis: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Aim/hypothesis: The etiology of plantar fasciitis (PF) has been related to several risk factors, but the magnitude of the plantar load is the most commonly described factor. Although PF is the third most-common injury in runners, only two studies have investigated this factor in runners, and their results are still inconclusive regarding the injury stage.

Objective: Analyze and compare the plantar loads and vertical loading rate during running of runners in the acute stage of PF to those in the chronic stage of the injury in relation to healthy runners.

Differences in lifestyle, physical performance and quality of life between frail and robust Brazilian community-dwelling elderly women.

Aim: To investigate the lifestyles, physical performance and quality of life (QOL) of frail and robust Brazilian community-dwelling older women, and to identify risk factors for frailty.

Methods: Frailty was assessed using the Kihon Checklist. Lifestyles were assessed using a questionnaire.

The effects of plantar fasciitis and pain on plantar pressure distribution of recreational runners.

Background: Plantar fasciitis is the third most frequent injury in runners. Despite its high prevalence, its pathogenesis remains inconclusive. The literature reports overload as the basic mechanism for its development.
