Sport e impianti sportivi: evoluzione storica.

2004

Se le attività sportive contribuiscono a esprimere una forma culturale della società e concorrono a rappresentarne lo spazio urbano in determinate espressioni formali di architettura, ne consegue che, nelle diverse epoche storiche, l’evoluzione stessa del concetto di spazio, e del concetto di luogo che sembra averlo preceduto, deve avere influenzato e accompagnato tutto il processo storico di produzione dello spazio architettonico e urbanistico considerato nei suoi caratteri di unitarietà e di integrazione con le società che lo hanno generato. Le suggestioni teoriche e gli strumenti concettuali che ne derivano permettono di approfondire, in questa prospettiva, la conoscenza di uno scenario …

Specialised English Lexicography. A Contrastive Analysis of two Monolingual Medical Dictionaries

2020

Today information tends to be increasingly specialised. Moreover, English is the language of most scientific literature worldwide. Within this framework, English dictionaries are very important reference tools which help improve exchange among members of a given professional community. Of the different specialised languages, the medical one perhaps undergoes the fastest changes parallel to the continuous and rapid advances in medical sciences. However, research on medical lexicography seems to lack studies on monolingual medical dictionaries – especially from a comparative synchronic and diachronic point of view. This paper intends to offer a contrastive analysis of some features of two of …

Le peculiarità dell'ordinamento sportivo

2016

The thesis aims to check whether the construction of the sporting law, identified by the majority of experts as an original system, with its own autonomy, is still relevant or should be considered outdated. After the analysis of the construction of the sporting law, gradually specified at national and supranational levels, the project deals with the principles established by the European and international law, in order to identify, in consideration of the interventions of the European institutions and the Lisbon Treaty (TFEU art.165). Both nationally and at the European level the sports law is strongly integrated in general law and, so, subjected to the relevant regulations. With the limit,…

Cross validation of hard-copy and web-based formats of the Sport Imagery Ability Measure

2018

The purpose of this multi-sample study was to examine the psychometric characteristics, factor structure, and measurement invariance of the hard-copy and web-based versions of a measure of sport imagery ability, termed Sport Imagery Ability Measure (SIAM). In the first sample, Spanish athletes (N = 274, 161 men, 113 women, Mage = 21.91, SD = 6.67) completed a hard-copy version of the SIAM. A newly developed web-based version of the SIAM was cross validated in an independent group (N = 266, 147 men, 119 women, Mage = 25.93, SD = 9.84). A small group of participants (n = 16) completed both versions. Exploratory structural equation modelling and confirmatory factor analysis of the data from th…

Prevention of injuries among youth team sports : the role of decreased movement control as a risk factor

2017

Good movement control is essential in team sports that require fast-paced running, pivoting, jumping and landing. Alterations in dynamic neuromuscular control may cause significant stress on the musculoskeletal system, and increase the risk of both acute and overuse injuries. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the effectiveness of interventions to prevent sports injuries, the incidence and severity of overuse injuries, and the role of decreased movement control as a risk factor for future injuries in young team sports athletes. The study methods included a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, a retrospective epidemiological investi…

Social psychological aspects of ACL injury prevention and rehabilitation: An integrated model for behavioral adherence

2017

Managing rehabilitation for ACL injury is dependent on uptake of, and compliance with, medical and safety recommendations. In this paper, we propose a multi-theory model that integrates self-determination theory and the theory of planned behavior to identify the motivational determinants ACL injury prevention and management behaviors and the processes involved. nonPeerReviewed

Injury History and Perceived Knee Function as Risk Factors for Knee Injury in Youth Team-Sports Athletes

2022

Background: The identification of risk factors for sports injuries is essential before injury prevention strategies can be planned. Hypothesis: Previous acute knee injury and lower perceived knee function measured by Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) will increase the risk of acute knee injury in youth team-sports athletes. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Level of Evidence: Level 3. Methods: At baseline, youth (≤21 years old) male and female basketball and floorball athletes completed a questionnaire on previous acute knee injuries and perceived knee function (KOOS). A total of 211 male and 183 female athletes were followed for an acute knee injury up to 3 years. U…

Psychosocial Predictors of Drop-Out from Organised Sport: A Prospective Study in Adolescent Soccer.

2022

In recent years an increased drop-out rate in adolescents’ soccer participation has been observed. Given the potentially adverse consequences of drop-out from soccer, more information about risk factors for drop-out is warranted. In the current study, Classification and Regression Tree (CRT) analysis was used to investigate demographic and motivational factors associated with an increased risk of drop-out from adolescent soccer. The results of this study indicate that older age, experiencing less autonomy support from the coach, less intrinsic motivation, being female, and lower socioeconomic status are factors associated with an increased risk of drop-out. An interpretation of the results …

One Does Not Fit All: European Study Shows Significant Differences in Value-Priorities in Clean Sport

2021

Doping violates the Spirit of Sport and is thought to contradict the values which underpin this spirit. Values-based education (VBE) has been cited as a key element for creating a clean sport culture across age groups. Culturally relevant VBE requires understanding of the values that motivate athletes from different countries to practice their sport and uphold clean sport values. WADA's new International Standards for Education makes this study both needed and timely. Overall, 1,225 athletes from Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, and the UK responded to measures assessing their general values, Spirit of Sport values, and their perceived importance of "clean sport". MaxDiff analysis identified…
