Miksi Varkaus oli menestyvä urheilukaupunki 1960-luvulla?
2018
Urheilumenestyksen tarkastelussa painopiste on ollut maittain toteutetussa joukkueiden, seurojen ja yksilöurheilijoiden menestyksen vertailussa. Sen sijaan paikkakuntien urheilumenestystä on tutkimuksissa vertailtu vähemmän. Tutkimuksessa jäljitettiin millaista menestystä varkautelaiset urheilijat saavuttivat 1960-luvulla ja mitkä tekijät vaikuttivat paikalliseen urheilumenestykseen? Varkautelainen urheilumenestys suhteutettiin 11 muuhun vastaavankokoiseen kaupunkiin. Tutkimuksemme sijoittuu historiallis-sosiologisen tapaus- ja rakennetutkimuksen piiriin. Tällöin tunnistamme paikallisia toimijaverkostoja sekä yhteiseen tekemiseen sitovia taloudellisia, poliittisia ja kulttuurisia tekijöitä.…

Across the world, youth sports clubs are prominent and the main opportunity for engaging children and youth in physical activities. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of sports club participation on actual and perceived motor competences, achievement goal perspectives, and perceptions of school physical education among Finnish third-grade children.

The participants, based on their involvement or non-involvement in their local sports clubs, fit into four subgroups. The subgroupings were ‘never’ participated in a s…
Sports clubs as settings for health promotion: fundamentals and an overview to research.

Suomalaisten pääsarjatason palloilujoukkueiden näkemykset Suomen rahapelijärjestelmästä
2019
Tutkimuksessa selvitetään suomalaisten pääsarjatason palloilujoukkueiden näkemyksiä Suomen rahapelijärjestelmästä. Tutkittavia osaalueita on kolme: joukkueiden 1) tietoisuus veikkausvoittovarojen jakoperusteista ja näkemykset Veikkauksen toiminnan vaikutuksista, 2) veikkausvoittovaroista saama tuki ja Veikkauksen kanssa tehdystä vastikkeellisesta yhteistyöstä saama korvaus sekä tyytyväisyys tukeen/ korvaukseen ja 3) näkemykset Suomen nykyisestä rahapelijärjestelmästä ja mahdollisesta toimilupaperusteiseen järjestelmään siirtymisestä. Kyselyn tuloksien taustoitukseksi tutkimuksessa käsitellään suomalaista rahapelijärjestelmää ja veikkausvoittovarojen merkitystä liikunnan ja urheilun rahoitus…

Introduction: Sports clubs form a potential setting for health promotion, but the research is limited. The aim of the Health Promoting Sports Club (HPSC) study was to elucidate the current health promotion activities of youth sports clubs and coaches, and to investigate the health behaviours and health status of youth participating in sports clubs compared to non-participants. Methods and analysis: The study design employs cross-sectional multilevel and multimethod research with aspirations to a prospective cohort study in the next phase. The setting-based variables at sports clubs and coaching levels, and health behaviour variables at the individual level, are investigated using surveys; a…
Educational and family-related determinants of organized sports participation patterns from adolescence to emerging adulthood : A four-year follow-up…
2022
This study aimed to identify organized sports participation patterns and their prevalence from adolescence to emerging adulthood, and the educational and family-related determinants of the patterns. Adolescents in the Finnish Health Promoting Sports Club (FHPSC) study answered a health behaviour questionnaire and reported on sports club participation at ages 15 and 19 (N = 609). In emerging adulthood, dropouts (total 41.05%; females 43.72%; males 36.56%), maintainers (30.87; 26.44; 38.33), nonparticipants (27.59; 29.32; 24.67), and joiners (0.49; 0.52; 0.44) (p =.024) were identified. A mixed multinomial logistic regression analysis showed, that male gender, as compared to female gender, in…
Physical activity measured by accelerometry among adolescents participating in sports clubs and non-participating peers
2022
The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study is to describe the amount and intensity of physical activity (PA) measured by accelerometry among adolescents participating in organized sports (SCP) and age-matched non-participating peers (NP). SCPs (332) and NPs (139) wore an accelerometer on the hip for seven days. PA was reported using the 1-min exponential moving average. The current moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendation of at least an average of 60 min of MVPA daily was reached by 85% of SCPs and 45% of NPs (p < .001). During training days, the MVPA times among SCPs ranged from 153 ± 39 min in males and 109 ± 35 min in females participating in basketball to …
Leisure-time physical activity and participation in organized sports : changes from 1985-2014 in Finland and Norway
2019
Participation in organized sports is a popular and important part of the lives of children and adolescents and is associated with improved psychological and social health, as well as an increased likelihood of meeting physical activity (PA) recommendations. Changes in modern society, including increased car ownership and use of technology and electronic media, have led to an additional focus on the importance of health‐enhancing PA among children and adolescents. The aim of this article was to study the secular changes in self‐reports of participation in organized sports clubs and leisure‐time vigorous physical activity (LVPA), and whether the relationship between participation in organized…
