Abstract
Cortical changes resulting from physical activity and differences in the estimation of the time of practitioners and non-practitioners of physical activity have already been documented. However, there aren't studies that compare the cortical responses of the time estimate between these groups. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of the level of physical activity in time estimation and beta band activity in frontal regions, specifically in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, and parietal cortex during the task of estimating time in practitioners and non-practitioners of physical activity. After characterizing the sample, the signal was captured using an electroencephalogram during a task to estimate the time of four intervals of supraseconds. The results indicated that the practitioners of physical activity had lower errors in the evaluation of time for the intervals of 1 s, 7 s, and 9 s. The beta band showed less activity among practitioners of physical activity. The correlation between task performance and the absolute power of the beta band proved to be positive in the task of estimating time in the 7 s, and 9 s intervals. It was concluded that participants involved in the regular practice of physical activity showed underestimation in the temporal judgment and lower absolute power of the beta band during the time estimate.

Abstract
The physiotherapist's clinical practice includes proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), which is a treatment concept that accelerates the response of neuromuscular mechanisms through spiral and diagonal movements. The adaptations that occur in the nervous system following PNF are still poorly described in the literature. Thus, this study had a goal to investigate the electrophysiological changes in the fronto-parietal circuit during PNF and movement in sagittal and diagonal patterns. This study included 30 female participants, who were divided into three groups (control, PNF, and flexion groups). Electroencephalogram measurements were determined before and after tasks were performed by each group. For the statistical analysis, a two-way ANOVA was performed for the factors group and time. Interactions between the two factors were investigated using a one-way ANOVA. A value of p < 0.004 was considered significant. The results showed an increase in alpha absolute power in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and upper left parietal cortex of the PNF group, suggesting these areas work together to execute a motor action. The PNF group showed a greater alpha absolute power compared with the other groups, indicating a specific cortical demand for planning and attention, reinforcing its use for the rehabilitation of individuals.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study analyzed the acute effects of infrared and neural mobilization on
the median nerve on the range of elbow extension of the dominant limb. [Subjects and
Methods] Forty participants from university, neurologically asymptomatic, 12 males and 28
females (22.8 ± 1.9 years), were randomly divided into four groups: Group 1 (control)
rested for 25 minutes in the supine position; Group 2 received the specific neural
mobilization for the median nerve; Group 3 received an application of infrared for 15
minutes on the forearm; Group 4 received the same application of infrared followed by
neural mobilization. The goniometric parameters of elbow extension were evaluated after
the intervention. [Results] Significant differences of extension value were observed
between Group 1 and Group 3 (15.75 degrees), and between Group 1 and Group 4 (14.60
degrees), and the average higher in Group 3 (26.35 degrees). [Conclusion] This research
provides new experimental evidence that NM in relation to superficial heat produces an
immediate effect on elbow range of motion versus NM isolated.
