The role of gender and coaching styles in adolescent student-athletes’ motivational orientations in sport and school

2022

AbstractResearch indicates that the dominant discourses of gender are ingrained in dual career (DC) practices critically influencing athletes’ motivation to construct a DC pathway. While it is important to ensure that all athletes have an equal access to construct a DC pathway despite their gender, there is a gap in the literature examining the role that coaches play in gendering of athletes’ DC pathways. The present study longitudinally examined the gender differences in student-athletes’ motivational orientations in sport and academics throughout high school and the role of coaching style in these orientations. The gender differences in coaching styles in terms of student-athletes’ gender…

Reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation and H-reflex measurement during balance perturbation tasks

2022

Following ankle movement, posterior balance perturbation evokes short- (SLR ∼30–50 ms), medium- (MLR ∼50–60 ms), and long-latency responses (LLR ∼70–90 ms) in soleus muscle before voluntary muscle contraction. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Hoffmann-reflex (H-reflex) measurements can provide insight into the contributions of corticospinal and spinal mechanisms to each response. Motor evoked potential (MEP) and H-reflex responses have shown good reliability in some dynamic muscle contraction tasks. However, it is still unclear how reliable these methods are in dynamic balance perturbation and corticospinal modulation during long amplitude balance perturbation tasks. 14 subjects …

Association of body composition, physical activity and fracture history on postural sway in girls

2012

Hyvä tasapainon hallinta on tärkeää normaalien päivittäisten askareiden suorittamiseksi. Nuorten tasapainotutkimuksia löytyy vain vähän. Tämän työn tarkoituksena oli tutkia, voiko lapsuus‐ ja nuoruusiän murtumilla ja vartalon huojunnalla aikuisuuden kynnyksellä olla yhteys, ja onko fyysisellä aktiivisuudella, alaraajan voimalla ja kehon koostumuksella yhteys vartalon huojuntaan. Kaikkiaan 212 Jyväskylän seudulla asuvaa tyttöä (keskimääräinen ikä 18.6±1.1) osallistui tutkimukseen. Vartalon huojuntaa mitattiin voimalevyllä, kehon koostumus mitattiin sekä konventionaalisesti että DXA‐laitteella, ja alaraajan voima mitattiin maksimaalisella isometrisellä polven ojennustestillä sekä vauhdittomal…

Exercise for bone and cartilage in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis

2016

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of high-impact exercise on bone mineral mass and strength, and on knee cartilage composition in postmenopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA). In addition, the association between knee OA and femoral neck bone structural characteristics in women with mild knee radiographic OA and those without radiographic knee OA was studied. Also, the reproducibility of measuring human knee joint cartilage by the delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI (dGEMRIC) technique was determined in healthy asymptomatic subjects. Data from a 12-month randomized controlled trial (RCT) was used to assess the effects of exercise on bones and cartilages. The tr…

The maintenance of sexually antagonistic variation in reproductive success by negative frequency-dependence in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)

2011

Natural selection theory predicts low variance in traits closely related to reproductive success, since the most fit trait value should replace all the others. However, a considerable amount of variation is found in life-history traits throughout the animal kingdom. The most widely accepted mechanism maintaining this variation is a balance between mutation and selection; however, observed variance is higher than predicted by mutation – selection balance alone and thus additional processes must be involved. One possible mechanism which has only recently started to gain attention is intralocus sexual conflict, where the optima of fitness related traits are sex dependent. This leads to sexuall…

Enterprising refugee women: Analyzing postfeminist governmentality in an organizational context

2023

This study examines a model project initiated by a German Federal Ministry in the middle of the vast increase in forced migration to Germany after 2015. The project aimed at facilitating the integration of female refugees into German society by way of ‘empowering’ them to become self-employed. A business counseling agency with a feminist orientation was commissioned to design and run the project. Interpellating refugee women as subjects of entrepreneurial self-actualization to enact gender equality, the project embodies a tangible example of postfeminist governmentality. Combining recent research on postfeminism with analytics of governmentality, the study directs its analytical gaze to the…

Women’s Careers in Management : Confronted Problems and Approved Practices

2022

Gender equality has not been achieved anywhere in the world. One persistent, global challenge is that women struggle to advance to management positions in the workplace. This chapter focuses on the area of management as it relates to women’s careers. Well-known metaphors that highlight the complexity of the problems women face in their careers are presented. Additionally, two examples of practices that can be helpful to the advancement of women’s careers, namely, all-women management development programmes and work-family arrangements are discussed. It is concluded that although there has been progress around women’s moving in managerial roles in many places over the years, much still needs…
