Authors should indicate their preferred type of presentation - Oral or Poster. This, however, cannot be guaranteed and will be communicated on acceptance.
The use of the Abstract Template is mandatory and the abstracts must be prepared in English.

Abstract Guidelines

Abstracts are to be no more than 400 words or 2000 characters without references. Figures and tables can be included.
Use standard abbreviations only. Within the body of the abstract, when using abbreviations spell out the name in full at the first mention and follow with the abbreviation in parenthesis.
Abbreviations may be used in the title, provided the name in full is outlined in the body of the abstract.
Abstracts must contain sufficient information so that if published it will be a complete report independent of presentation.
The abstract should not contain statements alluding to results or conclusions not presented within the text.

Abstract Publication

Accepted abstracts will be published in a special edition of the journal Motricidade*.
