Taitoluistelu mahdollisena sponsoroinnin kohteena
2016
Salmijärvi, S. 2016. Taitoluistelu mahdollisena sponsoroinnin kohteena. Liikuntakasvatuksen laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikunnan yhteiskuntatieteiden pro gradu -tutkielma, 115 s., 1 liite. Tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin urheilun sponsorointia yhden lajin, taitoluistelun, näkökulmasta. Tutkielmassa selvitettiin, millainen mahdollinen sponsoroinnin kohde taitoluistelu on ja miksi. Tavoitteena oli tuottaa urheilusponsorointiin liittyvää tieteellistä tietoa uudenlaisesta näkökulmasta ja tarjota samalla Suomen Taitoluisteluliitto ry:lle hyödyllinen katsaus taitoluistelun tilanteeseen. Tutkielmassa perehdyttiin aiempaan kirjallisuuteen niin sponsoroinnin kuin taitoluistelunkin osalta sekä selvitet…
Using sport for corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Finland
2015
Companies are increasingly valued beyond their capability to maximize profits. Responsibility is one of the core issues in companies’ strategies nowadays. Meanwhile sport and health professionals are facing challenges: inactivity among people and costs in grassroots participation are growing.

This study approaches the topic by answering the main research question: What is the role of sport in Finnish companies’ CSR strategy? To answer the research questions, qualitative research using data from structured e-mail interviews was conducted. The data…
Health promoting sports federations : theoretical foundations and guidelines
2023
Background: Researchers and policy-makers have highlighted that the potential for organized sports to promote health has been underexploited. Sports clubs have limited capacity to promote health due to their voluntary nature and have called for support from their national sports federations. The present article provides guidelines, based on the theoretical principles of health promoting sports clubs and an analysis of practical tools and proven strategies, to support national sports federations to invest in health promotion (HP). Methods: A qualitative iterative study was undertaken, based on five 2-h meetings of a group of 15 international researchers in HP in sports clubs. Notes and minut…

Julkiset palvelutuotantotehtävät suomalaisten liikuntaseurojen muodonmuutosten lähteenä
2022
Suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa kansalaistoimijoilla on aina ollut merkittävä asema väestön hyvinvoinnin ja sosiaalisen turvallisuuden tuottamisessa. Viime vuosina julkinen sektori on kuitenkin pyrkinyt laajentamaan muiden yhteiskuntasektorien toimijoiden, kuten liikunta- ja urheiluseurojen, osallistumista kansalaisten palvelutuotantoon. Tarkastelemme artikkelissa, (1) millaisiin julkisten palvelujen tuotantotehtäviin liikuntaseurat ovat olleet valmiita sitoutumaan ja (2) miten tehtävät ovat muuttaneet seuratoimintaa. Lähestymme tutkimusaihettamme vertailemalla kahdeksaa julkiseen palvelutuotantoon paikallisesti sitoutunutta liikuntaseuraa. Tutkimusaineistomme koostuu tapaustutkimusseurojen to…
How do sports clubs contribute to health? From theory to interventions
2022
The symposium presents last findings on health promotion interventions in sports clubs. After a short introduction about the health promoting sports clubs (HPSC), five presentations (France, Sweden, Ireland, Finland and Netherlands) will reflect upon how sports clubs can be health promoting: in theory, from youth perspectives, by increasing physical activity level as outcome or enhancing sustainability of interventions, before opening the discussion with academic experts. Presentation 1 describes an iterative international process, implicating three groups (French sport students, French and Swedish experts) to create an intervention theory, based on the HPSC model. Presentation 2 focuses on…
Contrasts in fitness, motor competence and physical activity among children involved in single or multiple sports
2021
Abstract Study aim: While there is wide debate around specialization in one sport, there is a lack of information about fitness levels and motor competence of children participating in single or multiple sports. Material and methods: The study involved 358 fifth-grade children who participated in a set of health-related fitness and motor competence tests over two consecutive years. A subsample of children (n = 109) wore an accelerometer for seven consecutive days. The independent samples t-test and ANCOVA were used to compare differences between single and multi-sport participants in study variables and changes between baseline and follow-up. Results: Multi-sport participants performed bett…
