The reproducibility of perceptually regulated exercise responses during short-term cycle ergometry

This is the author's PDF version of an article published in International journal of sports medicine in 2004. The definitive version is available at www.thieme-connect.com.The purpose of this study was to assess the reproducibility over four trials of perceptually regulated exercise intensity during short-term cycle ergometry. Recent research has suggested that an improvement in the reproducibility (better agreement) of the exercise output would be observed with a repeated practice of using regulatory tools such as Borg’s 6-20 rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale. Eighteen healthy active volunteers (nine males mean age (± SD) 24.7 ± 3.4 yr, and nine females 27.6 ± 5.4 yr) completed four identical intermittent effort production trials on a cycle ergometer, over a period of two-three weeks, with all trials being between three and five days apart. After warm-up, the volunteers were asked to produce four x three-minute bouts of exercise at RPE levels: 13, 15, 9, and 17 (in this order). Power output (W), percentage maximum heart rate reserve (%MHRR), and oxygen consumption (VO2; ml•kg-1•min-1) were recorded in the final minute of each bout. Analysis revealed that the 95% limits of agreement (LoA) between repeated trials did not decrease for the objective markers of exercise intensity, remaining wide throughout. In the worst case comparisons the LoA represented changes (expressed as a proportion of the mean of two trials) of up to 58.3% in power output (T2 vs. T3 at RPE 9), 65.5% in %MHRR (T1 vs. T2 at RPE 13) and 36.5% in VO2 (T3 vs. T4 at RPE 17). These findings question the use of ratings of perceived exertion to regulate exercise effort. That the reproducibility of effort is also not seen to improve with practice raises doubts over the validity of using the RPE scale for providing training intensities for this type of exercise.This article was submitted to the RAE2008 for the University of Chester - Allied Health Professions and Studies

Abolição britânica: paradigmas e historiografias

O presente artigo visa introduzir o leitor ao amplo debate historiográfico sobre a Abolição Britânica. Apesar de seu início no Século XIX, foi somente com a publicação de "Capitalismo e Escravidão" de Eric Williams, em 1944, que o debate ganhou suas feições atuais: a polarização entre a visão historiográfica estruturalista, da qual é Williams seu grande precursor contrapor-se-ia à perspectiva culturalista que buscaria no humanitarismo Britânico a causa central para explicar a Abolição. Para atingir tal intento, o artigo analisa de forma comparativa quatro livros: "The American Crucible" de Robin Blackburn, "Abolição: uma História da escravidão e do antiescravismo" de Seymour Drescher, "Os Jacobinos Negros" de Cyril Lionel Robert James e o já citado "Capitalismo e Escravidão" de Eric Williams

A Minha Senhora da Saúde: O Processo de apropriaçâo individual da Senhora da Saúde de Touvedo

La Verge Maria es manifesta de diverses formes, resentant innombrables designacions, essent una d’elles Senyora de la Salut. Tanmateix, aquesta Senyora de la Salut també es materialitza de manera diferent en diverses comunitats de Portugal, com és el cas de la Senyora de la Salut de Touvedo. Fonamentat en la històrica plasticitat de Maria i recorrent particularment a l’etnografia de les creences i pràctiques religioses dels creients, amb el present article es pretén sostenir que més enllà d’una apropiació comunitària emergeixen relacions de particular intimitat amb la Senyora de la Salut, donant forma a un procés d’apropiació individual de la Senyora de la Salut de Touvedo. ___________________________________________________________________________ A Virgem Maria manifesta-se das mais diversas formas, apresentando inúmeras designações, sendo uma delas a Senhora da Saúde.

Misiones católicas en América Latina, siglos XIX-XX : estudio preliminar para una historia comparada

Este documento propone una aproximación preliminar al desarrollo de los estudios y las investigaciones históricas sobre los misioneros católicos en América Latina, en los finales del siglo xix y la primera mitad del siglo xx. Se estudian tres puntos de vista para establecer por medio de ellos diferentes marcos teóricos y métodos de investigación. (En los textos que serán abordados se presentan la investigación de corte vertical y transversal.) El estudio sobre las misiones católicas intenta proporcionar herramientas para adelantar un trabajo en historia comparada.This document proposes an initial approach to the development of the studies and historical researches about the catholic missionaries in Latin America, in the time between the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. With the study of three different works it is aimed at establishing the different theoretical frames and the various research methods. In the works that are object of study the vertical and the cross sections method is implemented. The study of the catholic missions intends to provide instruments for developing researches in compared history
