• The Effects of a 24-Week Combined Circuit Training and Mobility Program on the Physical Fitness and Body Composition of an Adult Academic Community (2025) · Sports · cited 6× · doi

  One challenge is the sedentary nature of academic work, which can make it difficult to implement and maintain physical activity programs. Another challenge is the need for long-term exercise programs to achieve ongoing physiological adaptations. A third challenge is the lack of research on the effects of combined circuit training and mobility programs on physical fitness and body composition.

• TREINAMENTO DE FORÇA NA INFÂNCIA E ADOLESCÊNCIA: EVIDÊNCIAS SOBRE SEGURANÇA, EFICÁCIA E IMPACTOS NA SAÚDE (2026) · Revista Ibero-Americana de Humanidades, Ciências e Educação · doi

  Future research should investigate the long-term effects of strength training in children and adolescents. Studies should also examine the effects of strength training on different health outcomes, such as metabolic health and cognitive function. The development of strength training programs tailored to individual characteristics and needs is also an area for future research.

• TREINAMENTO DE FORÇA NA INFÂNCIA E ADOLESCÊNCIA: EVIDÊNCIAS SOBRE SEGURANÇA, EFICÁCIA E IMPACTOS NA SAÚDE (2026) · Revista Ibero-Americana de Humanidades, Ciências e Educação · doi

  The paper identifies challenges, such as the heterogeneity of the intervention protocols and the lack of longitudinal investigations of long-term effects. The development of strength training programs tailored to individual characteristics and needs is also a challenge. The promotion of physical activity and strength training in children and adolescents to prevent sedentarism and obesity is another challenge.
