We used two types of camera to ensure that the application of the methodology regardless of the origin of the images in terms of camera.
To collect the pictures at the experimental plots of IMIDRA, a Sony DSC-W120 digital camera was used. This camera has a Super HAD CCD sensor. The pictures obtained had a resolution of 7.2 megapixels (MP). More details of this camera can be found in Table 2. For pictures of the golf course, we used a Canon EOS 77D digital single-lens reflex camera. This device has a CMOS sensor of 22.3 x

Participants of the three groups were submitted to clinical evaluation of orofacial motricity. To this end, the expanded protocol of Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES-E) was used (16) (link) . This protocol aims to assess the components of the stomatognathic system (lips, tongue, jaw, and cheeks) with respect to appearance/posture, mobility, and performance during deglutition and mastication. The observed data were converted to a numerical scale, with maximum individual score of 230 points. Data were collected by means of visual inspection during evaluation and, subsequently, by analyzing the photos and footage recorded with the use of a digital camera (Sony DSC -W120).
In order to ensure the reliability of clinical assessment results, all participants were evaluated by two speech-language pathologists, who were independent examiners with expertise in the area. The Kappa coefficient was utilized to verify the concordance between the examiners for the overall score of the OMES-E, whose result showed high inter-rater agreement (0.89).
