ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was twofold: i) to compare the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and the frequencies of technical actions per minute in different small-sided games (SSGs) between under-14 and under-16 age groups, and ii) to compare the RPE and the frequencies of technical actions per minute between 1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 formats within age groups. Twenty young male basketball players from the same club (N = 10, from under-14; N = 10, from under-16) competing at the national level voluntarily participated in this study. Five different SSGs (1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4 and 5 x 5) were played twice on courts of the same relative area and were compared in terms of the RPE and technical actions. The number of technical-tactical actions per minute, i.e. conquered balls (CB), received balls (RB), lost balls (LB), attacking balls/passes (AB), shots (S), rebounds (R), and the RPE were collected for each player for each SSG session. The results revealed that most of the differences between age groups were considered trivial/small and/or unclear for all SSG formats, though likely moderate differences between age groups were found in 1 x 1 and 2 x 2 SSGs, revealing that young players had greater frequencies of received, conquered, and lost balls. Within-age-group comparisons also showed moderate-to-large increases in technical actions during smaller formats than during larger ones. The main evidence of this study revealed that age group seemed not to largely influence the RPE or technical actions during different SSGs. However, smaller formats moderately-to-largely increased the number of technical actions. Interestingly, the biggest format (5 x 5) largely increased the RPE in comparison to the remaining formats. As a conclusion, technical actions and the RPE were influenced more by the format of play than by the age group.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships between anthropometric (height and weight), fitness status (aerobic capacity, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test - level 1, YYIRT-L1; countermovement jump performance, CMJ) and perceived exertion (RPE) of twenty youth (under-14 and under-16) male basketball players and their technical actions (attacking balls-AB, shots-S, received balls-RB, rebounds-R, conquered balls-CB, lost balls-LB) during five small-sided games (SSGs) formats (from 1v1 to 5v5). Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficients tested the relationships between the anthropometric and fitness variables and the technical actions and perceived exertion during SSGs. The results of this study revealed that both anthropometry and fitness variables are associated with technical performance during SSGs. However, correlations are not clear with the levels of perceived exertion reported by players. Coaches should be aware of such relationships to better design their SSGs format and implement basketball drills based on the specific players' characteristics.

Introdução: A perda auditiva unilateral é caracterizada pela diminuição da audição em apenas uma orelha. Objetivo: Analisar o benefício quanto à localização auditiva após a adaptação do Aparelho de Amplificação Sonora Individual (AASI) em indivíduos com perda auditiva unilateral. Método: Estudo prospectivo com 31 indivíduos com idade entre 18 e 75 anos e de ambos os gêneros com deficiência auditiva unilateral de tipos e graus variados, responderam a um questionário para avaliação da localização da fonte sonora, sendo utilizado o "Questionário de habilidade auditiva da localização da fonte sonora". O instrumento foi aplicado em duas situações: sem o uso do AASI e com o uso do AASI. Resultados: Os pacientes com perda auditiva de grau leve e moderado obtiveram um escore de 3,35 com uso do AASI e perda auditiva severa e profunda 3,05 havendo uma melhora de 1,39 e 1,38 respectivamente. Conclusão: Ocorreu benefício com o uso do AASI quanto à localização auditiva em indivíduos com perda auditiva unilateral, evidenciando a importância do uso da amplificação.
Introduction: A unilateral hearing loss is characterized by decreased hearing in one ear. Objective: To evaluate the benefit on the location after hearing the adaptation of hearing aids Individual (HA) in individuals with unilateral hearing loss. Method: A prospective study of 31 individuals aged between 18 and 75 years and both genders with unilateral hearing loss of various types and grades, answered a questionnaire to evaluate the location of the sound source, by using the "Survey of hearing ability of the location of the sound source." The instrument was applied in two situations: without the use of HA and the use of hearing aids. Results: Patients with mild hearing loss and received a moderate score of 3.35 with use of hearing aids and hearing loss, severe and profound absence of an improvement of 3.05 1.39 and 1.38 respectively. Conclusion: Benefits were obtained with the use of hearing aids on the auditory localization in subjects with unilateral hearing loss, emphasizing the importance of the use of amplification.

Homem, 52 anos de idade, alcoólatra, hipertenso, com história prévia de isquemia cerebral. Admitido no Departamento de Neurocirurgia com sinais e sintomas de acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico. A ecocardiografia transesofágica e tomografia computadorizada evidenciaram imagem sugestiva de trombo pedunculado ao nível da transição entre a aorta ascendente e o arco aórtico. O tratamento de escolha foi procedimento cirúrgico com emprego da circulação extracorpórea associada a hipotermia profunda e parada circulatória total. Foi realizada ressecção do trombo e de parte parede da aorta para evitar reincidência. O paciente não apresentou intercorrências e teve alta hospitalar com uso de anticoagulante oral.
