Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on sports journalism in Latvia
2022
Bakalaura darba “Covid-19 pandēmijas ietekme uz sporta žurnālistiku Latvijā” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādas ir galvenās iezīmes, kuras ir mainījušās sporta žurnālistu ikdienā, salīdzinot ar pirms pandēmijas ēru. Tāpat arī veikt intervijas, lai noskaidrotu vadošo sporta žurnālistu paustos naratīvus un atziņas par jauno sporta žurnālisma konceptu. Visbeidzot, ar kontentanalīzes metodi veikt sporta mediju publikāciju analīzi, lai konstatētu kā ir mainījies publicētais saturs. Darba teorētiskajā daļā ir skaidroti žurnālistikas, sporta žurnālistikas procesi un galvenās Covid-19 izmaiņu iezīmes sporta žurnālistikā. Metodoloģiskajā daļā aplūkotas kvantitatīvās kontentanalīzes, daļēji strukturētās int…
Sportomics: metabolomics applied to sports. The new revolution?
2019
Sportomics is the application of metabolomics in sports to investigate the metabolic effects of physical exercise on individuals, whether they are professional athletes or not. Metabolomics is one of the "omics" sciences that provide a picture of the metabolic state of a person in physiological or pathological conditions. This is achieved through the analysis of metabolites present in a biological fluid, such as saliva, blood, feces, and urine. The authors revised the recent literature concerning this topic and discussed the useful information that sportomics can provide and the limits of the current experimental settings. Furthermore, in the future, sportomics analyses could be used to pre…
Applying health promoting sports club standards in the Netherlands
2014
This study explores health promotion activity of Dutch sports clubs by using the Health Promoting Sports Clubs (HPSC) standards, which are developed in Finland and here applied to the Dutch sports context. The standards consist of 23 items which cover different perspectives on health promotion. The standards form an overall HPSC index, which is used to create health promotion profiles for the sports clubs. 17 sports clubs from the municipality of ‘s-Hertogenbosch participated in this study, of which 42 club officials (1-6 per club) evaluated their own club on all HPSC standards on a five-point Likert scale. Per club, the average score on each standard was calculated. The average on the HPSC…
Resting electrocardiogram and blood pressure in young athletes and nonathletes : A 4-year follow-up
2022
A follow-up data on electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure (BP) changes in adolescent athletes are scarce. We compared ECG and BP between adolescent athletes and non-athletes in a 4-year follow-up. A total of 154 youth sports clubs (SC) in Finland and 100 secondary schools for comparison data participated in this observational follow-up study. Those who maintained or adopted SC participation are referred to as “Always athletes” (n=137), those who never participated in SC as “Never athletes” (n=108) and those who dropped out of SC during the follow-up as “Changers” (n=116). The mean age of the participants was 15.5 (0.6) years in all study groups at baseline. Resting ECG including heart …

Ski jumping takeoff in a wind tunnel with skis.
2011
The effect of skis on the force–time characteristics of the simulated ski jumping takeoff was examined in a wind tunnel. Takeoff forces were recorded with a force plate installed under the tunnel floor. Signals from the front and rear parts of the force plate were collected separately to examine the anteroposterior balance of the jumpers during the takeoff. Two ski jumpers performed simulated takeoffs, first without skis in nonwind conditions and in various wind conditions. Thereafter, the same experiments were repeated with skis. The jumpers were able to perform very natural takeoff actions (similar to the actual takeoff) with skis in wind tunnel. According to the subjective feeling of the…

Brevi note in tema di applicabilità della normativa sul contratto di consumo al mandato tra agente sportivo e assistito
2020
L’avvio innanzi al Collegio di Garanzia dello Sport delle procedure arbitrali relative alle controversie nascenti in dipendenza dei contratti di mandato tra agenti sportivi ed assistiti, per effetto della recente emanazione del Regolamento CONI in materia, ai sensi dell’art. 22, comma 2, del Regolamento Agenti Sportivi, ha riproposto all’attenzione degli interpreti la questione della assoggettabilità degli agenti alla normativa federale e, in specie, al vincolo di giustizia sportiva. La questione viene affrontata nel presente lavoro sotto lo specifico angolo visuale afferente alla possibilità o meno di considerare la clausola compromissoria, inserita nei contratti di mandato tra agenti spor…
Investigation of the Sympathetic Regulation in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: Results of an RCT
2021
Sports-related pain and injury is directly linked to tissue inflammation, thus involving the autonomic nervous system (ANS). In the present experimental study, we disable the sympathetic part of the ANS by applying a stellate ganglion block (SGB) in an experimental model of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) of the biceps muscle. We included 45 healthy participants (female 11, male 34, age 24.16 ± 6.67 years [range 18–53], BMI 23.22 ± 2.09 kg/m2) who were equally randomized to receive either (i) an SGB prior to exercise-induced DOMS (preventive), (ii) sham intervention in addition to DOMS (control/sham), or (iii) SGB after the induction of DOMS (rehabilitative). The aim of the study was t…
