Seuratoiminta, paikalliskilpailu ja menestykseen vaikuttaneet tekijät Kuopion edustusjalkapallossa ja -jääkiekossa vuosina 1969-1991

2015

Tutkielma käsittelee kuopiolaisen jalkapallon ja jääkiekon seuratoimintaa, paikalliskilpailua ja menestykseen vaikuttaneita tekijöitä tavoitteellisten edustusseurojen näkökulmasta vuosina 1969–1991. Ajanjaksolla Kuopiossa seuratoiminta ammattimaistui asteittain, jalkapallossa vallitsi paikalliskilpailun tilanne ja jääkiekko nousi haastamaan jalkapallon aseman kaupungin perinteisenä johtavana palloilulajina. Tutkielman tehtävänä on tutkia Kuopion Palloseuran, Kuopion Pallotovereiden, Kuopion Elon ja Kalevan Pallon seuratoiminnan muutoksia ja ammattimaistumista työnjaon ja talouden osalta, minkä lisäksi tutkittiin seurojen asettamien menestystavoitteiden toteutumista ja edustus- ja juniorijou…

Traveller and fan identities of the Finnish football fans

2010

This research deals with the Finnish football fans and their motives to travel and follow sports. The reason for studying this area is to increase information and knowledge about the consumer behaviour of sport fans. Special attention is paid to the question of why fans behave the way they do.

Online Guided ACT Intervention for Enhancing the Psychological Well-being of Female Soccer Players in Pre-season

2022

This study investigated whether an internet-based intervention aimed at enhancing the psychological well-being of female soccer players before the competitive season could be effective approach to meet the needs of the players. Players (n= 43; 17–26 years old)on the four separated teams in Finland’shighest league were assigned to either a guided six-week online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention (ACTi) or to a control condition (CON). A between-groups pre–post (ACTi vs. CON) design was implemented before the competitive season. Players in the ACTi were offered three group sessions, performed internet-based tasks, and were individually supported by a guide. The results demonstrat…

Suicide and depression in former contact sports participants: population-based cohort study, systematic review, and meta-analysis

2022

SummaryBackgroundTraumatic brain injury is associated with the future risk of depression and suicide, and this raises the possibility that former participants in sports characterised by low intensity repetitive head impact may also subsequently experience an increased burden of these mental health outcomes. Using new data from a cohort study integrated into a meta-analysis of the current evidence, we compared the occurrence of depression and suicide in former contact sports athletes against general population controls.MethodsThe cohort study comprised 2004 retired male athletes who had competed internationally on an amateur basis for Finland between 1920 and 1965, and 1385 age-equivalent ma…

Mitä maskuliinisuuden ja feminiinisyyden representaatiot miesten ja naisten jalkapallon selostuksissa ilmentävät?

2016

Tutkimukseni aiheena on maskuliinisuuden ja feminiinisyyden representointi miesten ja naisten jalkapallon selostuksissa. Käsittelen tutkimuksessani sitä, miten nämä representaatiomallit poikkeavat toisistaan ja mitä nämä eroavaisuudet ilmentävät esimerkiksi asenteista miesten ja naisten jalkapalloa kohtaan. Tutkimusaiheeni on kiinnostava siksi, että sukupuolten välinen tasa-arvo on alati pinnalla oleva, tärkeä asia, ja jalkapallo puolestaan konsepti, jossa sitä on harvinaisen pitkään ja sinnikkäästi pyritty vastustamaan. Tutkimukseni pyrkii osoittamaan joko tiedostamattomia tai tiedostettuja seikkoja, joista tällainen asenne edelleen näkyy. Tutkimuskysymykseni ovat siis: 1. Millaisin kielel…

Neuromuscular Training Warm-up Prevents Acute Noncontact Lower Extremity Injuries in Children’s Soccer : A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

2021

Background: Prevention of sports injuries is essential in youth, as injuries are associated with less future physical activity and thus greater all-cause morbidity. Purpose: To investigate whether a neuromuscular training warm-up operated by team coaches is effective in preventing acute lower extremity (LE) injuries in competitive U11-U14 soccer players. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. Methods: Twenty top-level U11 to U14 soccer clubs in Finland were randomized into intervention and control groups and assessed for 20 weeks. Participants included 1403 players (280 female, 1123 male; age range, 9-14 years): 673 players (44 teams) in the intervention group and …

Association between frontal plane knee control and lower extremity injuries : a prospective study on young team sport athletes

2017

Background/aimPoor frontal plane knee control can manifest as increased dynamic knee valgus during athletic tasks. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between frontal plane knee control and the risk of acute lower extremity injuries. In addition, we wanted to study if the single-leg squat (SLS) test can be used as a screening tool to identify athletes with an increased injury risk.MethodsA total of 306 basketball and floorball players participated in the baseline SLS test and a 12-month injury registration follow-up. Acute lower extremity time-loss injuries were registered. Frontal plane knee projection angles (FPKPA) during the SLS were calculated using a two-dimen…
