ABSTRACT While the economic impact of major passive sport events is well documented, the contribution of active sports events is scarcely examined. This reflective practice paper contributes towards bridging the gap by examining, in a case study, the economic impact of one of the first big active sport events in Cyprus, organised using the state-of-the-art technology. The paper presents the first commercial web platform and recommender system dedicated to active sports events, which provide all necessary services to customers and thus simplify, and ultimately increase participation in the event. We find strong evidence in support of the idea that active sport events have a strong positive impact on the local and countrywide economy, while the technology can contribute and enable further promotion and better organisation of such events.

Abstract Introduction. Several factors, such as program offerings, atmosphere and provided amenities, motivate repeat visits to sports destinations, with continued patronage most often associated with perceived value. Material and Methods. This study sought to determine the extent to which perceived value in sports facilities influenced revisit intentions, for which a path analysis model was used and a valid and reliable self-administered questionnaire was completed by 384 recreational sports facility visitors. Results. Visit experience and perceived value were found to influence revisit intentions, with nearly 50% of the direct effect being because of perceived value. Conclusions. The results of this study inform both academic practice and managerial decisions.

Abstract Introduction. Lumbar radiculopathy (LR) is a common debilitating disorder of neuromuscular origin that affects athletes. Material and Methods. This study was a parallel group design and a total of 24 clinically diagnosed athletes with LR were recruited for the study and randomly assigned to one of the two groups, i.e. neurodynamic mobilisation plus core stability group (NDS plus CS) and core stability group only (CS). NDS plus CS underwent neural mobilisation of the tibial nerve and core stability exercises, while CS group performed core stability for a total of 14 sessions on alternate days. The outcome measures of motor nerve conduction velocity (m NCV) of the tibial nerve and pain intensity were recorded before the start of the intervention, at midpoint (7th session) and at the end of the intervention (14th session). Results. Baseline scores of pain and m NCV (NDS plus CS: 6.75 ± 0.62, 38.10 ± 7.21 and CS: 6.58 ± 0.79, 38.92 ± 6.37) were non-significant. The outcome measures improved significantly during treatment in NDS plus CS group (baseline to 7th session, 7th to 14th session and overall mean change for pain and m NCV was found to be 4.74 ± 0.37 and -6.43 ± 3.08, respectively. Non-significant improvement was reported for CS group. Two-way repeated measures (2 x 3) ANOVA was used to analyse the change in the outcome measures and revealed that NDS plus CS group showed statistically significant main effects for group on pain level (F (2, 5.34) = 0.89, p < 0.001 and m NCV (F (2, 5.21) = 0.40, p < 0.03. Significant time and group x time interaction effects were also found. Conclusions. The findings of the study revealed that neurodynamic mobilisation plus core stability were found effective in improving pain level and motor nerve conduction velocity of the tibial nerve in athletes with lumbar radiculopathy.
摘要简介。腰神经根病（LR）是一种常见的神经肌肉衰弱性疾病，影响运动员。材料和方法。这项研究是一项平行组设计，共招募了24名临床诊断为LR的运动员进行研究，并将其随机分配到两组中的一组，即神经动力动员加核心稳定性组（NDS+CS）和仅核心稳定组（CS）。NDS加CS进行了胫骨神经的神经活动和核心稳定性训练，而CS组在隔日进行了总共14次核心稳定性训练。在干预开始前、中点（第7次治疗）和干预结束时（第14次治疗）记录胫神经运动神经传导速度（mNCV）和疼痛强度的结果测量值。后果疼痛和mNCV的基线评分（NDS加CS:6.75±0.62、38.10±7.21和CS:6.58±0.79、38.92±6.37）无统计学意义。NDS加CS组的疗效指标在治疗期间有显著改善（基线至第7疗程、第7至第14疗程，疼痛和mNCV的总体平均变化分别为4.74±0.37和-6.43±3.08。CS组报告无显著改善。使用双向重复测量（2 x 3）ANOVA分析疗效指标的变化，发现NDS加CS组对疼痛水平的主要影响具有统计学意义（F（2，5.34）=0.89，p＜0.001，m NCV（F（5，21）=0.40，p＜0.03）。还发现了显著的时间和组x时间交互作用效应。结论。研究结果表明，神经动力运动加上核心稳定性可有效改善腰神经根病运动员的疼痛水平和胫神经运动神经传导速度。

Abstract Introduction. Tourism is part of the global security space and is the largest global industry with the highest levels of annual growth. In recent years, the issue of security has begun to significantly impact the development of tourism. This requires answers regarding the satisfaction of tourists from security, cultural, economic and sociological perspectives. Material and Methods. Our research problem is aimed at corporate security in health resorts (one of the conditions for establishing a health resort is e.g. the surrounding environment, natural mineral water), which differs from the security present in hotels or other tourist facilities. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, we developed a new theoretical model of corporate security in health resort tourism where we applied both a qualitative and quantitative paradigm in this research. In the qualitative part of this study, we collected data using the methods of document analysis and interviews and processed it in the software Atlas.ti. In the quantitative part, we collected data using a survey questionnaire and analysed the results using the SPSS software Results. The study will contribute an original theoretical model of corporate security in Slovenian health resort tourism to the treasure trove of knowledge and it will be possible to theoretically verify it and apply it in health resorts. Conclusions. In this way, we opened up the theoretical and practical dimensions of poorly researched field of security in Slovenian health resorts and, in doing so, contribute to the better understanding and improving of models of corporate security in health resort tourism.

Abstract Introduction. Sport climbing, which is included in 2020 Olympic Games, is a new sport that is both recreational and performance-focused while being the subject of scientific research all around the world. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in lactate concentration, heart rate and handgrip forces all at once in the actual sport climbing competition. Material and Methods. Thirteen male climbers volunteered for this study. The climbers climbed three different routes prepared according to the International Federation of Sport Climbing standards that are classified as easy, medium and difficult. Lactate, heart rate, dominant and non-dominant handgrip forces were measured for each route before climbing, immediately after, and during the third and fifth minutes after climbing. Climbing performance was determined using the number of holds that the competitor reached. Results. We observed significantly higher post-lactate concentration in comparison to the pre-climbing values for all climbing routes (p < 0.05). Statistical observation shows that post-climbing heart rate values were considerably higher than the pre-climbing values for all three climbing trials (p < 0.05). There were also statistically significant differences in climbing performance and handgrip force between the three routes (p < 0.05). Conclusions. According to the results of this study, significant increases were noted in all three climbing routes relative to the pre-climb in lactate, heart rate and climbing performance data between the routes.

Abstract Introduction. The purposes of this study were 1) to evaluate changes from baseline levels in bioelectrical phase angle (PhA) and markers of muscle damage and inflammation in professional players 36 h after a soccer match, and 2) to analyze the relationships between PhA and markers of muscle damage and inflammation in order to investigate if PhA might be a useful parameter to monitor recovery. Material and methods. Eighteen male professional soccer players participated in this study. Plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) activities, plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations, and PhA were measured before and 36 h after a competitive match. Results. Changes in LDH and CK 36 h after the match were greater than their reference change values (RCV). Changes in CRP and IL-6 were, however, lower than their corresponding RCV. 36 h after the match, significant correlations were observed between PhA and LDH (r = 0.714, p = 0.001), PhA and CK (r = 0.787, p = 0.000), and PhA and CRP (r = 0.554, p = 0.017). Conclusions. Although IL-6 and CRP have been traditionally analyzed together to monitor inflammation after intense exercise, since 36 h after the match they have already returned or started to return to baseline levels, the use of them alone is not a good option to monitor inflammation throughout recovery. PhA might be used as a predictor of muscle damage and inflammation, but further studies covering the whole recovery period are warranted.
摘要介绍。本研究的目的是1)评估职业球员在足球比赛后36小时的生物电相角(PhA)和肌肉损伤和炎症标志物的基线水平的变化，2)分析PhA与肌肉损伤和炎症标志物之间的关系，以探讨PhA是否可能是监测恢复的有用参数。材料和方法。18名男性职业足球运动员参与了这项研究。测定比赛前后36 h血浆乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、肌酸激酶(CK)活性、血浆c反应蛋白(CRP)、白细胞介素-6 (IL-6)浓度和PhA浓度。结果。配对后36 h LDH和CK的变化均大于参考变化值(RCV)。然而，CRP和IL-6的变化低于相应的RCV。配对36 h后，PhA与LDH (r = 0.714, p = 0.001)、PhA与CK (r = 0.787, p = 0.000)、PhA与CRP (r = 0.554, p = 0.017)呈显著相关。结论。虽然传统上，IL-6和CRP被用于监测剧烈运动后的炎症，但由于在比赛后36小时，它们已经恢复或开始恢复到基线水平，因此单独使用它们并不是监测整个恢复过程中的炎症的好选择。PhA可能用作肌肉损伤和炎症的预测因子，但需要进一步研究涵盖整个恢复期。

Abstract Introduction. With the transformation of Kuala Lumpur as a mega city and the boom of Malaysian urban tourism, understanding the interaction between tourism and local community livability is important for sustainable urban tourism development. Material and methods. Founded in 1899, Kampung Bharu is a famous traditional Malay village facing conflicting urban development and local community livability issues. Thus, to understand the local community perception of urban tourism development and its effect on their quality of life, this study investigates the effect of sustainable tourism development on the local Kampung Bharu community’s quality of life. This study collected 364 valid responses from the local community through a self-administered survey. Results. The study confirms that economic and environmental impacts of urban tourism development deteriorate the local community’s quality of life. However, the socio-cultural impacts of urban tourism development positively and significantly enhance the quality of life of the local community in Kampung Bharu. Conclusions. The study highlighted the importance of the local community’s perceptions, community attachment, and perceived quality of life to destination managers responsible for planning and developing future tourism projects. Several limitations and recommendations for future research are presented.

ABSTRACT Bibliometric analysis can be a useful approach to measure any scientific field's development. Overall, the studies addressing football (soccer) tourism – a growing niche of the sport tourism field – are at an infancy stage. Hitherto, no systematic analyses linked to football tourism have been carried out. This study aimed to fill this literature gap by examining football-based tourism research studies published in tourism-based journals, particularly to identify the primary means of publication, temporal distribution, the most productive authors and institutions, countries, standard authoring, collaborative networks, and the central themes investigated on it. The study's scope was delimited from the year of the first identified publication – 2003 – until December 31, 2019. In total, 67 publications focusing specifically on football tourism were identified among 27 journals. Findings revealed that only two journals – Journal of Sport & Tourism and Tourism Management – concentrated 43.27% of the knowledge production. Although revealed to be globally spread, football tourism investigations have seen the United States and its universities as the most prolific producers of football tourism studies. The football tourism niche reflects a remarkable tendency to produce investigations on and around its mega-events, notably the FIFA Men's World Cup. However, emerging trends such as football club-based tourism (stadium tours, museums, memorials, live matches, and pre-season football camps) were identified. This paper contributes to the sport tourism field and football tourism sub-field by sharing conclusive points about football tourism studies' state of the art and what is needed for its development.

ABSTRACT ‘New media’ such as social media content-sharing apps and podcasting platforms have democratised mass media by enabling producers to disseminate content that is otherwise of limited interest to mainstream broadcast media, though may be of great interest to members of nuanced social worlds. Producers of bespoke sport-related content have recently harnessed new media platforms to create commercially viable broadcast outlets. We contend that the producers of sport-related content can contribute to authentication of places of sporting significance and may also play a role in shaping contemporary sport tourism. This paper examines new media content published on YouTube relating to Alpe d’Huez, a ski resort in the French Alps that is historically and culturally synonymous with the Tour de France. Our multimodal discourse analysis shows how YouTube content contributes to ‘hot' authentication of Alpe d’Huez as a metaphorical ‘stage’ for the Tour de France by articulating the attributes of Alpe d’Huez as a cycling space and simulating vicarious experiences of embodied and socially-constructed elements of climbing Alpe d’Huez by bicycle. Our analysis further shows how new media producers deploy complex combinations of imagery, aural, and linguistic strategies to (re)produce hot authentication of Alpe d’Huez as a mystical, sacred, ‘must visit' site within the global cycling social world.
“新媒体”，如社交媒体内容共享应用程序和播客平台，通过使生产者能够传播主流广播媒体感兴趣的内容，使大众媒体民主化，尽管这些内容可能对微妙的社会世界的成员非常感兴趣。定制体育相关内容的制作方最近利用新媒体平台创建了商业上可行的广播渠道。我们认为，体育相关内容的生产者可以为体育意义场所的认证做出贡献，也可以在塑造当代体育旅游方面发挥作用。本文研究了YouTube上发布的与Alpe d 'Huez有关的新媒体内容，Alpe d 'Huez是法国阿尔卑斯山的一个滑雪胜地，在历史和文化上与环法自行车赛同义。我们的多模态话语分析显示，YouTube内容如何通过阐明阿尔卑斯山脉作为自行车骑行空间的属性，并模拟骑自行车攀登阿尔卑斯山脉的具体化和社会建构元素的替代体验，从而对阿尔卑斯山脉作为环法自行车赛隐喻性“舞台”的“热”认证做出贡献。我们的分析进一步展示了新媒体制作者如何运用图像、听觉和语言策略的复杂组合，(重新)制作了Alpe d ' huez的热门认证，使其成为全球自行车社会世界中神秘、神圣、“必游”的地点。

ABSTRACT The purposes of this study were to estimate the carbon footprint caused by football fans travelling to Bundesliga matches (first division) in Germany in the 2018/19 season, to analyse determinants of seasonal carbon footprint, and to identify fan clusters based on travel behaviour. A nationwide online survey of football fans was conducted (n = 539) asking respondents to report their match-related travel behaviour. The average seasonal carbon footprint of a Bundesliga fan amounted 311.1 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (CO2-e), with car travel accounting for 70% of the emissions. The aggregate carbon footprint of all fans for the whole Bundesliga season was 369,765.2 t CO2-e. Buying out of these carbon emissions would cost over €9.2 million in total. The regression results revealed that club membership and commitment to favourite club significantly increased fans’ carbon footprint. The choice of favourite Bundesliga club also predicted carbon footprint, with fans of FC Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig producing a significantly higher carbon footprint than fans of Borussia Dortmund. The segmentation of Bundesliga fans by their travel behaviour identified three distinct clusters: Devoted travellers (19%), home fans (30%) and casual visitors (51%). These clusters differed significantly in terms of emissions per kilometre travelled, car use versus public transport, club membership, fan commitment, environmental consciousness, education and age. The findings have practical implications for policy makers, Bundesliga officials and club authorities, and can serve as a basis for initiatives to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in professional team sports.
