- Effects of using compound or complex strength-power training during in-season in team sportsPublication . Abade, Eduardo; Sampaio, Jaime; Santos, Luis; Gonçalves, Bruno; Sá, Paulo; Carvalho, Ana; Gouveia, Paulo; Viana, JoãoLiterature is scarce on how players with poorly and well developed physical qualities respond to different combinations of strength-power training during in-season. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of (i) compound training performed by stronger athletes at different days and (ii) complex training performed by weaker athletes within the same training session. Twenty male handball players were classified as strong or weak according to countermovement jump performance and assigned to a 12-week training programme. Linear sprint, changes of direction, repeated sprint ability and vertical jump capacity were used to assess physical profiles. Compound training performed by stronger players resulted in unclear effects on vertical jump, 20-m and repeated sprint. Likely improvements were found in 10-m sprint (-11.3%; 11.9%). Weaker players who performed complex training presented likely and very likely improvements on vertical jump (13.7%; 5.4%), sprint (10 m, -10.7%; 10.3%; 20 m, -6.0%; 3.4%) and repeated sprint (-4.1%; 3.7%) with moderate to large effect size. The results show that complex and compound strategies are useful in improving the physical profiles of weaker players and maintaining stronger players' capacities during in-season, respectively. Players involved in the same competitive context, even from the same team, may require different strength training strategies.
- IntroductionPublication . Carvalho, AnaThis book is a faithful reproduction of the Wikipedia article “VJing”, based upon the revision of July 25th 2010, last edited by 77.12.27.96. This book was produced as a physical outcome of the “wiki-sprint“, a collaborative writing workshop that was held in May 2010 in the frame of Mapping Festival, Geneva. The book includes a prologue by Raphael DiLuzio and an introduction by Ana Carvalho. The final editing and layout took place in August 2010 during Hyperactivity, a summer lab at Centre d’art de Neuchâtel. Note that the article also has an audio version (produced May 13th 2010 by the same team of contributors).
- Momentary gathering, performative moment and creative process: the documentation of realtime AV performancePublication . Carvalho, AnaBased on the premise that live audiovisual performance is a process-based artistic expression, this text presents a segmentation of three moments: Momentary gathering, performative moment and creative process. By defining each moment, constructed upon the relationship between performance and process, it draws on the possibilities in expanding beyond the limits of the events as they happen today while responding to its problems such as the construction of memory and identity of the related community.

- Repetição, Continuidade e o Novo: Esboço de um Léxico Para a Expressão de Tempo na Performance AudiovisualPublication . Carvalho, Ana; Moran, PatríciaThe use of repetition in narrative construction (using abstract or formal data), recurring to loops and frames, is a common expressive method in music composition, cinema, video and TV. Our text limits the object of study to the audiovisual performative practices. Its aim is to investigate the construction of time and how it creates sound and image intensities in its intimate relationship with space and with form expressed as performative audiovisual experience. This attempt to a lexicon has as central objective to describe continuity and newness in three moments: the development of practice and related communities, as expression of significance within the performative act and in the process towards preparation of the event. In the performative moment, for example, repetition of scenes and loops take on several roles in the composition of time, when related between each other in specific moments and with the performance as a whole. We will examine the uses of repetition to extrapolate on its role in temporality construction, its affection on space and how it in-forms content. This examination is a departing point to elaborate on a set of definitions of moment and and to reflect on repetition manifested as, for example, pattern repetition, play of patterns and eternal loop. In these processes of repetition, cliché is re-signified. Our analysis will develop from a dialogue between literature, philosophy and cinema studies to problematize on temporality and moment subjects recurring to an expressive style.
- The use of visual scores in live audiovisual performancePublication . Carvalho, AnaThe text will focus on the connection between moving image and music to what concerns the possibilities of presenting composition scores as part of the creative process of live audiovisual performance in a way that emphasizes its improvisation and collaborative aspects. Scores are documents which preserve the ephemeral quality of the event and simultaneously makes possible its study and construction of its memory. How can score composition convey the improvisation and include the performer? Graphic scores in composition for music has been doing that since the 1950s through the work of several composers. We take as example the graphic score titled Treatise composed by Cornelius Cardew. As we understand today, scores are resultant from the interexchange between the arts. Scores, as representation of a composition to be performed, allow simultaneously organized improvisation and collaborative energies to come together in ways that reinforce the creative process.
