Effects of Minimalist Footwear and Foot Strike Patterns on Plantar Pressure during a Prolonged Running
2022
The use of minimalist shoes (MS) in running involves changes in running mechanics compared to conventional shoes (CS), but there is still little research analysing the effects of this footwear on plantar pressure, which could help to understand some risk injury factors. Moreover, there are no studies examining the effects of a prolonged running and foot strike patterns on baropodometric variables in MS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the changes produced using MS on plantar pressure during a prolonged running, as well as its interaction with the time and foot strike pattern. Twenty-one experienced minimalist runners (age 38 ± 10 years, MS running experience 2 ± 1 years) ran…
Effect of saddle height on skin temperature measured in different days of cycling
2016
Infrared thermography can be useful to explore the effects of exercise on neuromuscular function. During cycling, it could be used to investigate the effects of saddle height on thermoregulation. The aim of this study was to examine whether different cycling postures, elicited by different knee flexion angles, could influence skin temperature. Furthermore, we also determined whether the reproducibility of thermal measurements in response to cycling differed in the body regions affected or not affected by saddle height. Sixteen cyclists participated in three tests of 45 min of cycling at their individual 50 % peak power output. Each test was performed in a different knee flexion position on …
Els significats de l'activitat física al poliesportiu d'una presó: una etnografia.
2005
L'objectiu d'aquesta etnografia consisteix en comprendre les interpretacions i significats que les persones preses i els treballadors de la presó tenen dels successos que ocorren al poliesportiu d'una presó. Aconseguit l'accés a la presó i als diversos col·lectius informants, es recullen dades durant dos anys. L' investigador, com un instrument recolector d'informació, decideix como, què i a qui observa i entrevista o què documents recull. L'anàlisi de les esmentades dades consisteix en separar la informació en unitats d'anàlisi, classificar-les i agruparles codificades amb etiquetes extretes inductivament. D'aquesta manera es reduixen les dades i es facilita l'extracció de categories que r…
Effects of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Passion for Work on Performance Variables in Sports Clubs
2021
Entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work have been widely studied due to their effects on the behaviour and attitude of management teams in the short- and long-term. However, despite the influences of these variables on the sustainability and survival of an entity, there is a gap when considering the effects of these two performance variables in sports organisations. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to understand the influences of entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work on service quality and sporting performance. To this end, 199 Spanish non-profit sports clubs were analysed using instruments with good psychometric properties. Data analysis was carried out…
Etelä-Korean eSports historia
2014
Internetin antamien mahdollisuuksien myötä pelaaminen on kasvanut yksinkertaisesta viihdepelaamisesta koko maailman laajuiseksi ammattiurheiluksi. Kuitenkaan missään se ei ole ollut yhtä suuri ilmiö kuin Etelä-Koreassa, jossa kilpapelaaminen tuntuu olevan aivan arkipäivää, vaikka monessa muussa maassa ei koko kilpapelaamisen käsitettä tunneta. Etelä-Korean e-Sports kulttuuriin tutustuminen antaa hyvän käsityksen kuinka suuria ilmiöitä elektroninen urheilu ja kilpapelaaminen voivat olla. With the capabilities of internet gaming has grown from a simple entertainment to a global professional sport. However it hasn’t nowhere been as big as in South Korea, where competitive gaming seems to be an…
"Mammat menee kahville, me koneelle" : kilpapelaaminen poikien elämässä
2022
Tämä artikkeli käsittelee e-urheilua osana aktiivisesti pelaavien turkulaisten poikien elämää. Laadullisen haastatteluaineiston (N=14) kautta artikkeli avaa nuorten näkemyksiä e-urheilun asemasta sekä henkilökohtaisena että yhteiskunnallisena toimintana. Tutkimus viittaa siihen, että e-urheilun rooli aktiivisesti yhdessä pelaavien poikien arjessa toimii perinteisten urheilulajien tavoin tavoitteellisena kilpailuna kuin myös vähemmän tavoitteellisena sosiaalisena ajanvietteenä. Kyseiselle joukolle e-urheilu on harrastus, jota myös perhe, ystävät ja yhteiskunta yhä useammin tukevat. Ohjattu e-urheilutoiminta sekä siihen liittyvät sosiaaliset infrastruktuurit todennäköisesti edesauttavat terve…

Influence of brand image of a sports event on the recommendation of its participants
2020
The aim of this research is to test the psychometric properties and relationships of a model where, from brand congruence of a sport event, trust and commitment to it can be generated, influencing future behavior of participants and resulting in a higher recommendation also called Word of Mouth (hereinafter WOM). A quantitative approach has been carried out by means of a validated questionnaire with Likert-type responses, and data were analyzed with the EQS 6.4 software. The findings indicated that the model is adequate, and also confirm that from congruence, we can explain, at a theoretical level, 45% of trust, and in the same way, from the congruence and trust, we can explain 67% of the c…
