Mapping knowledge and experience about sport psychology consulting among Finnish premier football coaches
2016
Mikola, Noora 2016. "Mapping knowledge and experience about sport psychology consulting among Finnish premier football coaches” Sport and Exercise Psychology master's thesis. The Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyväskylä. 50 p. Background: Perceptions of sport psychology consulting in Finnish premier football have not been studied before. The current study was inspired by two earlier studies made in England by Pain and Hardwood (2004) and in Sweden by Johnson, Andersson and Fallby (2011) and was done in co-operation with the Football Association of Finland. The purpose of the study was to examine knowledge and experience about sport psychology consulting among Finnish pr…
Traveller and fan identities of the Finnish football fans
2010
This research deals with the Finnish football fans and their motives to travel and follow sports. The reason for studying this area is to increase information and knowledge about the consumer behaviour of sport fans. Special attention is paid to the question of why fans behave the way they do. What factors affect fans’ decision making processes when they travel? Does sport have an influence on the travelling process? Are there any similarities between the reasons of travelling and attending sport events? In this study sport fans are divided into different fan types according to their motives to attend sport events as spectators and in different traveller typologies according their motives t…

The importance of coaches' autonomy support in the leisure experience and well-being of young footballers
2018
Drawing on the self-determination framework, the study examined the effect of coaches' autonomy support on the leisure experience of young male football players. Specifically, a model was tested analyzing the long-term predictive power of the players' perceptions of the coaches' autonomy support at the beginning of the season on the subjective vitality of young football players at the end of the season, through needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation (IM). Moreover, we tested whether the effects of coaches' autonomy support on the aforementioned variables (needs satisfaction, IM, and subjective vitality) at the end of the season remained at the beginning of the following season. Because…
The interpreter’s footing in Spanish-Italian medical interviews
2014
El artículo analiza unos fragmentos de un corpus de diez entrevistas médicas, grabadas entre abril y julio de 2009 en el Instituto Valenciano de Infertilidad de Barcelona, caracterizadas por la presencia de un médico de habla española, uno o dos pacientes italianos y una intérprete. Se examina cómo cambia la alineación verbal de esta última, dependiendo de las diferentes situaciones comunicativas que tiene que afrontar. Para lograr este objetivo, se hace hincapié en los estudios de Goffman sobre el footing (o pie) (1981: 325-326), a los de Wadensjö (1998: 91-92) y de Merlini y Favaron (2007: 116-117). Se demuestra que la intérprete no sólo traduce lo que dicen los interlocutores primarios, …
Effect of footwear on plantar flexor fine-wire electromyography activity in walking
2019
Compared to barefoot walking, walking in footwear seems to alter plantar flexor electromyography (EMG) activity, vertical and horizontal ground reaction forces (Sacco, Akashi, & Hennig, 2010), ankle kinematics and the time of peak activity (Sacco et al., 2010). However, study results are inconsistent regarding the magnitude and direction of these changes. Magnetic resonance imaging showed high inter-individual variability in muscle metabolic activity during walking, suggesting individual-specific activation patterns (Kolk et al., 2015). Additionally, little is known about the role of toe flexors such as flexor hallucis longus (FHL) in walking.
Adenosine receptor agonists for promotion of dermal wound healing
2008
Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process that involves a well-coordinated, highly regulated series of events including inflammation, tissue formation, revascularization and tissue remodeling. However, this orderly sequence is impaired in certain pathophysiological conditions such as diabetes mellitus, venous insufficiency, chronic glucocorticoid use, aging and malnutrition. Together with proper wound care, promotion of the healing process is the primary objective in the management of chronic poorly healing wounds. Recent studies have demonstrated that A(2A) adenosine receptor agonists promote wound healing in normal and diabetic animals and one such agonist, Sonedenoson, is currently …
Type of sport is related to injury profile: A study on cross country skiers, swimmers, long-distance runners and soccer players. A retrospective 12-m…
2009
This 12-month retrospective questionnaire compared the occurrence of sports injuries in 149 cross country skiers, 154 swimmers, 143 long-distance runners and 128 soccer players aged 15-35 years. Soccer had significantly more injuries (5.1 injuries/1000 exposure hour) than other sports (2.1-2.8, P<0.001). More runners than soccer players reported overuse injuries (59% vs 42%, P=0.005), locating typically in the foot in runners, soccer players and skiers. Swimmers reported overuse injuries in the shoulder more commonly than skiers (40% vs 1%, P<0.001), who also intensively load shoulders. Acute injuries in skiers (80%) and in swimmers (58%), and overuse injuries in skiers (61%), occurred duri…
Multicentre Study of Chronic Wounds Point Prevalence in Primary Health Care in the Southern Metropolitan Area of Barcelona
2021
Background: Chronic wounds give rise to major costs and resource consumption in health care systems, due to their protracted healing time. Incidence and prevalence data are scarce or nonexistent in community settings. Objective: The aim of the present epidemiological study was to analyse and determine the prevalence of chronic wounds in the community in the south of the province of Barcelona (Spain). Design: A cross-sectional, multicentre secondary data analysis study was conducted in the community (excluding nursing homes) in Barcelona between 16 April and 13 June 2013. It included 52 primary care centres that serve a total population of 1,217,564 inhabitants. Results: The observed prevale…
Evaluación de los autocuidados del pie en pacientes diabéticos. Análisis retrospectivo (2008-2013)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze other studies and research on foot self care and self-examination in patients with diabetes, taken from different sources of the scientific literature. Methods: The authors carried out a systematic review of published studies (including clinical trials, meta-analysis and Cochrane reviews), about the evaluation of health habits and health education concerning foot care in patients with diabetes. The authors researched articles using the terms “diabetic foot self-care, diabetic foot self-management, diabetes self-care and diabetes selfmanagement” in the Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Database, CINAHL, Scopus and EMBASE databases. Only 33 of …
