- Multidimensional determinants of decision making in judo: A systematic reviewPublication . Batista, Marco; Šimenko, JožefIntroduction: Decision-making in judo is a critical skill, shaped by multiple physiological, contextual, technical, and psychological factors that interact in highly unpredictable and tactically demanding environments. Objetive: This systematic review aimed to analyze the main determinants of decision-making in judo, synthesize the methodological designs used, and discuss the associated practical and research implications. Methodology: The Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched according to PRISMA guidelines, yielding 4 eligible studies. Results: Evidence shows that decision-making in combat is strongly influenced by variables such as tournament phase, weight category, rapid weight loss, and the opponent's technical style. Lighter athletes exhibit greater technical diversity and faster decision-making, while heavier categories prioritize strength and ground control. Strategies such as pacing and intensity adjustments depending on the competitive moment emerge as central tactical determinants. Rapid weight loss has been shown to compromise executive function, negatively impacting attention and reaction time. Despite advances in observational analyses, there remains a lack of experimental studies integrating neurocognitive and psychophysiological metrics. Conclusions: The conclusion is that decision-making in judo should be trained in representative contexts that simulate the cognitive, technical, and emotional pressures of real competition, promoting an integrated approach between technical training, physical preparation, and mental regulation.
- Influencia del diseño de packaging en la percepción de calidad del producto. Un estudio sobre alimentos típicos de la zona centro de PortugalPublication . Raposo, Daniel; Carballo, Fernando Suárez; Neves, João Vasco; Veríssimo, Fátima; Paiva, Teresa; Felgueira, TeresaSegún la literatura científica, el diseño del packaging constituye un factor esencial en la construcción del valor simbólico del producto y, por tanto, condiciona la intención de compra de los consumidores. Partiendo de esta afirmación, el estudio analiza la influencia del envase en la percepción de calidad de alimentos típicos del centro de Portugal (Beira Baixa, Beira Alta y Alto Minho) como el aceite, la miel, el vino, los ahumados y la fruta. El objetivo principal es determinar si la calidad y la innovación del diseño de packaging influyen directamente en la percepción de calidad del producto y analizar la repercusión de varios atributos (forma, material, rótulo, diseño gráfico y otros componentes) en esta valoración. Para ello, la metodología de la investigación combina un panel de siete expertos en diseño gráfico (para una evaluación del diseño de packaging) y una encuesta mixta (cuantitativa y cualitativa) aplicada a consumidores (n = 75). Los resultados revelan una relación significativa entre la calidad del diseño y la calidad atribuida al producto, así como la especial repercusión del diseño gráfico de la etiqueta en estas valoraciones.
- Analysis of usability in digital design by integrating Kano, WebQual and QFD models: The case of the interior design Website+Publication . Raposo, Daniel; Veríssimo, Fátima; Paiva, Teresa; Neves, João Vasco; Felgueira, TeresaThis study proposes a structured, replicable, multimethod framework for evaluating the usability of institutional information systems serving heterogeneous user groups. It adresses the limited integration of expectation–satisfaction analysis, perception-based quality assessment, and technical prioritisation by combining the Kano Model, WebQual 4.0, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and heuristic evaluation within a unified workflow. The framework was applied to the Interior+ platform through a user survey (n = 40) and an expert heuristic inspection (n = 4). Results indicate that usability, responsiveness, and information clarity serve as basic (must-be) attributes, leading to high potential for dissatisfaction when performance is inadequate. In contrast, multimedia content and personalisation emerged as attractive attributes that enhance satisfaction without generating substantial dissatisfaction when absent. The integration of Kano, WebQual, and QFD enabled the systematic prioritisation of technical improvements, while comparison with expert evaluations revealed an 80% convergence between user-derived priorities and heuristic recommendations. The findings also highlight meaningful divergences between users and experts, particularly regarding information clarity, reinforcing the value of triangulated evaluation approaches. The study contributes a practical, operationalised protocol that integrates user perceptions, expert assessments, and decision-support tools to inform evidence-based usability improvements and the development of more inclusive, effective, and user-centred institutional digital platforms.
- Editorial: The role of physical education in adolescent life satisfaction and well-beingPublication . Batista, Marco; Galán-Arroyo, Carmen; Castillo-Paredes, Antonio; Rojo-Ramos, JorgeAdolescence is a critical period of human development, characterised by profound biological, psychological, social and reaviou-as changes that influence health, well-being and quality of life across the lifespan. In this context, the promotion of subjective wellbeing and life satisfaction has gained increasing prominence in international research and is recognised as an important indicator of positive development, social adjustment and mental health (1). At the same time, insufficient levels of physical activity observed among young people remain a global public-health concern, with the World Health Organization (2) warning about the high prevalence of sedentary behaviours during adolescence. Scientific evidence consistently shows that regular participation in physical activity is associated with significant physical, psychological and social benefits, including better mental health, higher self-esteem, lower levels of anxiety and depression, and greater subjective well-being (3, 4). Within this framework, Physical Education occupies a privileged position as an educational context capable of promoting not only motor skills but also the personal, social and emotional development of young people (5). Contemporary perspectives also underscore the relevance of the concept of Physical Literacy, understood as the combination of motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding that enables individuals to value and take responsibility for participating in physical activities throughout life (6). Likewise, SelfDetermination Theory suggests that educational contexts that support autonomy, competence and interpersonal relatedness tend to foster more self-determined forms of motivation and higher levels of well-being (7). It was in this context that the Research Topic The Role of Physical Education in Adolescent Life Satisfaction and Well-being emerged. The eleven articles included in this collection offer a comprehensive perspective on how Physical Education, physical activity, Physical Literacy, family and institutional contexts, and various psychological mechanisms contribute to the promotion of well-being among adolescents and young adults. Despite thematic and methodological diversity, the studies converge on a common message: the effects of Physical Education and physical activity on life satisfaction and well-being are explained by a complex network of motivational, psychological, social and contextual mechanisms.
