Acute HIT session induced changes and recovery in muscle activation level, voluntary force production and jump performance during 8 weeks of HIT trai…
2017
High-intensity interval training (HIT) has gained wide popularity among competitive athletes and sport enthusiasts in the recent decades. While an extensive amount of research has been done on acute neuromuscular (NM) response and recovery after low-moderate intensity endurance training, the data regarding HIT in recreational athletes remains to be limited. In order to reduce that gap, the present study investigated the acute HIT session induced changes and recovery in muscle activation level, voluntary force production and counter movement jump performance during 8 weeks of HIT training in recreationally endurance trained men. A total of 9 subjects age 30.7 years (± 5.8), participated in t…

The purpose of this study is to find out more in detail the numbers of international student-athletes in CU, in …
Emotional Intelligence and Psychobiosocial States: Mediating Effects of Intra-Team Communication and Role Ambiguity
2020
Emotional intelligence is an important variable related to the interaction and functioning of sports teams. The present study examined the relationship between players’ trait emotional intelligence and functional and dysfunctional psychobiosocial states. In particular, we examined the mediating effects of intra-team communication efficacy and role ambiguity in this relationship. The participants were 291 (174 men and 117 women) Italian players involved in various team sports (i.e., futsal, soccer, volleyball, handball, and rugby). They completed a multi-section questionnaire assessing the study variables during the early/middle part of their competitive seasons. Structural equation modeling…
Athlete leadership behavior : how it relates to perceived team cohesion and players' satisfaction in elite sport teams
2014
So far only little is known about athlete leadership. Instead, previous research in sports leadership focused on the role a coach plays within sport teams. Yet, first studies could raise awareness for the importance of athlete leaders who occupy a formal or informal role in a team. Initial research results showed a significant impact of athlete leadership behavior on perceived team cohesion and the satisfaction of team members. Additionally, the concept of motivational leadership was recently introduced and claimed to be one of the most important functions leaders may overtake. Thus, this study aimed to confirm former findings and extent the knowledge by taking a new behavior pattern of mot…
Transnational athletic career and cultural transition
2020
Transnational movement of sports participants is an important dimension of the internationalization and globalization processes in sports industry and also has become a crucial element of athlete professional development in the 21st century. Since Bale and Maguire’s (1994) pioneering work on athletic talent migration, sports sociology and human geography scholars have made strides in mapping international movement flows of skilled sports migrants. Furthermore, with a recent shift in sports labour migration studies from macro- to microsociological perspectives, there has been an increased interest in the agency and multidimensionality of migrant professionals’ life and work experiences acros…

Voimistuneen kuntoliikunnan tarkastelua markkinatutkimuksen segmenteissä : jyväskyläläiset kilpa- ja kuntourheilijat KIHUn näkökulmasta
2015
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on kuvata jyväskyläläisten kunto- ja kilpaurheilijoita ja heidän liikuntasuhdettaan Kilpa- ja huippu-urheilun tutkimuskeskukselle (KIHU) tehdyn markkinatutkimuksen segmenteissä. Kunto- ja kilpaurheilu ovat osa laajempaa liikunnan käsitettä, jossa niiden luokittelu perustuu toiminnan aktiivisuuden ja vapaaehtoisuuden asteeseen. Tutkimus on kvantitatiivinen ja aineistolähtöinen. Liikuntasuhteesta tarkastellaan omakohtaista liikuntaa sekä sportisointia eli liikunnan kokonaisvaltaista kulutusta, jonka yhtenä ilmentymänä nähdään ns. kuntoilubuumi. Aineisto (N=1251) koostuu Huippututkimusyksikkö -hankkeeseen kerätystä markkinatutkimuksesta ja sitä on analysoitu määrällise…
