Levels and Changes of Physical Activity in Adolescents during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Contextualizing Urban vs. Rural Living Environment
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic and the social distancing implemented shortly after influence physical activity levels (PALs). The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the changes in PAL and factors associated with PALs among Croatian adolescents while considering the impact of community (urban vs. rural living environment). The sample included 823 adolescents (mean age: 16.5 ±
FIFAn valtapeli : Etelä-Afrikan jalkapallon MM-kisat 2010 keskitettynä mediaspektaakkelina
2014
Nykyisiä miesten jalkapallon MM-kisoja voi kutsua keskitetyiksi mediaspektaakkeleiksi. Ne ovat myös merkittäviä vallankäytön areenoita. Kansainvälinen jalkapalloliitto, kisaisäntä ja televisio muodostavat jalkapallon MM-kisojen tuotanto- ja valtakoneiston. Miten valta toimii jalkapallon MM-kisoissa? Millaisia strategioita valtakoneistolla on rakenteiden uusintamiseksi ja omien etujensa ja intressiensä edistämiseksi? Mitä valta tekee näkyväksi ja mitä se jättää näkymättömäksi? FIFAn valtapeli on Suomen ensimmäinen väitöskirjatason tutkimus jalkapallon MM-kisoista. Se tarkastelee vuoden 2010 Etelä-Afrikan kisoja tuotantokoneiston näkökulmasta kriittisesti, monitieteellisesti ja erilaisia aine…
Psychosocial Predictors of Drop-Out from Organised Sport: A Prospective Study in Adolescent Soccer.
2022
In recent years an increased drop-out rate in adolescents’ soccer participation has been observed. Given the potentially adverse consequences of drop-out from soccer, more information about risk factors for drop-out is warranted. In the current study, Classification and Regression Tree (CRT) analysis was used to investigate demographic and motivational factors associated with an increased risk of drop-out from adolescent soccer. The results of this study indicate that older age, experiencing less autonomy support from the coach, less intrinsic motivation, being female, and lower socioeconomic status are factors associated with an increased risk of drop-out. An interpretation of the results …

Performance-related physiological changes induced by one year of endurance training in young athletes
2023
IntroductionAlthough maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is generally recognized as the single best indicator of aerobic fitness in youth, interpretation of this parameter and the extent to which it can be improved by training remain controversial, as does the relative importance of VO2max for performance in comparison to other factors such as power production. Here, we examined the influence of endurance training on the VO2max, muscle power and sports-related performance of cross-country skiers attending a school specializing in sports, as well as potential relationships between any changes observed to one another and/or to perceived stress scale (Cohen) and certain blood parameters.MethodsOn t…
Methodological Guidelines Designed to Improve the Quality of Research on Cross-Country Skiing
2021
AbstractCross-country (XC) ski races involve a variety of formats, two different techniques and tracks with highly variable topography and environmental conditions. In addition, XC skiing is a major component of both Nordic combined and biathlon competitions. Research in this area, both in the laboratory and field, encounters certain difficulties that may reduce the reliability and validity of the data obtained, as well as complicate comparisons between studies. Here, 13 international experts propose specific guidelines designed to enhance the quality of research and publications on XC skiing, as well as on the biathlon and Nordic combined skiing. We consider biomechanical (kinematic, kinet…
