Predictors of In‐School and Out‐of‐School Sport Injury Prevention : A Test of The Trans‐Contextual Model
2021
The current study aimed to predict secondary school students' motivation toward sport injury prevention in 'in-school' and 'out-of-school' contexts, and their sport injury prevention behaviour at 3-month follow-up using the trans-contextual model (TCM). Hong Kong secondary school students (N = 1,566; mean age = 13.34 years, range = 11 to 19; female = 49.42%) were recruited. Participants were asked to complete a survey comprising previously-validated scales measuring TCM constructs at baseline, and a measure of sport injury prevention behaviour at follow-up three months later. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the hypothesised paths among TCM constructs. A SEM specifying…
Tendon length estimates are influenced by tracking location
2022
Abstract Purpose Measurement of medial gastrocnemius (MG) tendon length using ultrasonography (US) requires the muscle–tendon junction (MTJ) to be located. Previously, the MG MTJ has been tracked from different proximo-distal locations near the MTJ, which could influence estimates of tendon length change due to the different characteristics of the aponeurosis and tendon. We used US to evaluate the effect of tracking point location on MG MTJ displacement during maximal and submaximal (10, 20 and 30% of the non-injured maximal) isometric plantar flexion contractions. Methods Displacement behaviour of MTJ was tracked from (1) the exact MTJ; and (2) from an insertion point of a muscle fascicle …
Inter‐individual variation of the urinary steroid profiles in Swedish and Norwegian athletes
2020
The steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) aims to detect doping with endogenous steroids, e.g. testosterone (T), by longitudinally monitoring several biomarkers. These biomarkers are ratios combined of urinary concentrations of testosterone and metabolically related steroids. However, it is evident after five years of monitoring steroid passports, that there are large variations in the steroid ratios complicating its interpretation. In this study, we used over 11 000 urinary steroid profiles from Swedish and Norwegian athletes to determine both the inter‐ and intra‐individual variations of all steroids and ratios in the steroidal passport. Furthermore, we investigated if…
Le transport narratif au coeur de l'expérience d'un dispositif transmédia
2017
The aim of this paper is to describe how consumers experience transmedia devices. Thanks to transmedia major components (narrative universe; platforms and rabbit holes; interactivity; and temporality), once it adheres to it, the user of a transmedia devices lives an experience characterized by participation, immersion and commitment, and, at the end, it leads him to be attached to the object of narration. These results guide to propose a model which emphasizes the central place of narrative transportation in the context of fictional universes presented via transmedia strategy.
Restitusjonsvaner hos unge toppidrettsutøvere i Sør-Norge : En kartleggingsstudie av utholdenhet- og ballspillutøvere
2018
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap ME517 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Background: In order to perform optimally in training and competition, the recovery inbetween, through adequate diet and sufficient sleep/rest, is of great importance. Up until now, most studies have only featured adult athletes. Similarly, studies conducted on young athletes, as well as across sports, are limited. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the habits of recovery, in terms of diet and sleep, with regards to the recommendations given by Helsedirektoratet and Olympiatoppen. Further investigating the use of different recovery strategies, among young elite athletes in southern Norway. Method: A total of 36 …

Sporta kluba "Reaktors" komunikācija sociālajos tīklos un tās novērtējums dažādās mērķa grupās
2016
Bakalaura darba „Sporta kluba „Reaktors” komunikācija sociālajos tīklos un tās novērtējums dažādās mērķa grupās” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā sporta klubs “Reaktors” izmanto sociālo tīklu Facebook.com kā veselīga dzīvesveida atbalstītājs un kā šīs aktivitātes vērtē sporta klubu apmeklētāji un Facebook.com lietotāji. Darba teorētiskajā daļā apskatīti galvenie teorijas jēdzieni – mārketings, integrētā mārketinga komunikācija, mārketings digitālajā vidē, kā arī sporta mārketings, tēla teorija un uzņēmuma tēla veidošana sociālajos tīklos. Metodoloģijas daļā aprakstītas pētniecības metodes – O.Kazakas izveidotais pievienotās vērtības modelis, kontentanalīze, daļēji strukturētā intervija, semantiskā …
Izglītības iestādes vadības pilnveidošana profesionālās ievirzes sporta izglītības attīstības sekmēšanai
2018
Maģistra darba autore ir Līga Tomsone, darba vadītāja Dr.oec Sarmīte Jēgere. Maģistra darba temats “Izglītības iestādes vadības pilnveidošana profesionālās ievirzes sporta izglītības attīstības ekmēšanai”. Maģistra darba mērķis ir pētīt un analizēt izglītības iestādes vadības pilnveidošanas iespējas profesionālās ievirzes izglītības iestādē, un izstrādāt priekšlikumus izglītības iestādes vadības pilnveidei. Darba teorētisko bāzi veido vadības zinātņu, pedagoģijas un psiholoģijas zinātniskā literatūra un autoru teorētiskās atziņas par vadības funkcijām un izglītības iestādes vadīšanas īpatnībām, kā arī profesionālās ievirzes sporta izglītību regulējošo normatīvo aktu regulējums un informācij…
Referee efficacy in the context of Norwegian soccer referees – A meaningful construct?
2018
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was two-fold. Firstly, to examine the measurement/factorial validity and invariance of the Referee Self-Efficacy Scale (REFS) among Norwegian soccer referees. Secondly, extending scale validation, we also tested a structural model in which a second-order version of the REFS was modelled to mediate a set of theoretically informed antecedents and outcomes. Design Cross-sectional. Method One hundred and eleven Norwegian elite referees and 81 non-elite referees completed an electronic questionnaire measuring expected antecedents and outcomes of perceived self-efficacy in the role as referees. Results Analyses provided support for the first – and sec…
Physiotherapists’ validating and invalidating communication before and after participating in brief cognitive functional therapy training : Test of c…
2021
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate physiotherapists’ validating and invalidating communication, before and after brief Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) training that included a session on validation skills. Associations between validation/invalidation and the characteristics of the interviews and physiotherapists were also explored. Methods Eighteen physiotherapists treating patients with low back pain participated in the study. The study had a within-group design in which validation and invalidation for physiotherapists were rated before and after training using a reliable observational scale. We also collected data on interview length and physiotherapists’ and patients’ …
