    ObjectiveTo establish the effect of high-intensity and progressive volume resistance training (HIRT), on general health, functional, mental status, and quality of life (QOL) indicators in people with spinal cord injury (SCI).MethodsThe sample consisted of five people with SCI of both sexes, aged 46.2 +/- 13.9 years, submitted to 12 weeks of HIRT, twice a week. We analyzed before and after the 12 weeks of intervention: body composition, muscle strength, functional status, perception of mental status, and QOL, using the following tests: dual-energy X-ray densitometry, 1RM, isometry of biceps, elbow flexion, Wingate, zigzag, medicine ball pitch, Beck inventory (anxiety, depression, and mental disorder) and SF-36.ResultsThe results pointed to an increase in the training load, the total bone mineral content (p = 0.043), the muscle power at 80% of 1RM (p = 0.043), the functional state (anaerobic power [MD = 6.81%; p = 0.043] and explosive strength [mean difference (MD) = 30.57%; p = 0.043] of the shoulder girdle muscles), the mental state (MD = 71.46%; p = 0.006) and finally, improvement in QOL, especially in the functional (MD = 60.87%; p = 0.006) and social aspects (MD = 44.44%; p = 0.006).ConclusionsHIRT can improve or maintain body composition, developing muscle power, anaerobic power, and explosive strength of the upper limbs that will impact functional capacity, promoting greater autonomy, with consequent reflex in improving mental state and of the QOL of the person with SCI.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    L’émigration portugaise qualifiée dans le contexte européen

    Devant le renouvellement de l’émigration portugaise en Europe, une enquête réalisée en 2014 fait le point sur les représentations que les migrants portent sur leur propre parcours. La distinction de différents facteurs de répulsion pour leur pays d’origine et d’attraction pour le pays de destination permet d’esquisser les nouveaux visages des migrants portugais, plus qualifiés que leurs prédécesseurs, très informés sur les perspectives professionnelles de mobilité. Envisageant leur départ davantage comme une expérience de vie qu’une situation d’émigration, ils contribuent à redéfinir les contours transnationaux de l’Europe contemporaine

    Socialização e percursos (e)migratórios em Portugal: uma análise a partir de retratos sociológicos

    Este artigo pretende estudar a ligação entre socialização e emigração qualificada, partindo de uma amostra intencional de cidadãos portugueses que estavam ou estiveram em mobilidade ou emigrados em um país europeu nos últimos seis anos, com habilitações acadêmicas do ensino superior, ou que tivessem exercido uma atividade profissional correspondente a esse nível acadêmico. Nesse sentido, elaboramos vinte retratos sociológicos que permitem, à escala individual, analisar os processos de socialização que favorecem a fuga de cérebros, através da criação/mobilização de disposições sociais migratórias, conectadas ou não com processos de mobilidade social e/ou cultural. Concluiu-se que, ainda que se observem casos de heterogeneidade ou mesmo de ruptura disposicional, a maioria dos retratados constitui casos de coerência disposicional favorável à emigração. A emigração qualificada parece acontecer como consequência de um reforço entre disposições favoráveis às quais se soma a vontade em concretizar projetos pessoais profissionais que em Portugal não encontram terreno fértil.This article intends to study the link between socialization and highly qualify emigration, from a purposive sample of Portuguese citizens who were or had been emigrants in a European country, in the past six years. This sample is composed by highly qualified individuals or individuals who had an occupation corresponding to this qualification level. In this sense, the resulting twenty individual portraits allow the study of the socialization processes that facilitate the "brain drain". At an individual level, this research design enables the analysis of migratory social dispositions' creation and mobilization, which are related to social and/or cultural mobility processes. One concludes that there are some cases of disposicional heterogeneity and disposicional rupture, but most portraits represent cases of dispositional coherence in favour of emigration. Qualified emigration seems to be a result of dispositions mutual reinforcing towards emigration, in addition to the will to pursue personal and professional projects that do not find fertile ground in Portugal
