Abstract Introduction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a 6-week low intensity plyometric training (PT) + whole-body electrostimulation (WBES) combined program, compared with traditional PT, on vertical jump performance, 20 m sprint-time and handgrip strength. Material and methods. 10 male and 10 female Physical Education students were randomly allocated to a control (CON) or an experimental (EXP) group. Both groups performed a 6-week low intensity PT 3 days per week, and during the third day, PT was simultaneously combined with WBES in the EXP group. Countermovement jump (CMJ) height, CMJ peak power, 20 m sprint-time and handgrip strength were measured before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the training period. Repeated measures ANOVA was performed to identify differences after the training program. Effect sizes (ES) were assessed using Hedge’s g. Results. No significant differences between groups were observed at post-test. CMJ height and CMJ peak power significantly increased in both groups, with greater ES in the EXP group (p < 0.001, g = 0.68; p < 0.001, g = 0.70, respectively). 20 m sprint-time significantly improved in both groups, with greater ES in the CON group (p < 0.001, g = −1.68). Handgrip strength also increased in both groups, but ES were minimal. Conclusions. Both training methods demonstrated to be a good strategy to improve CMJ performance and 20 m sprint-time. The most effective training method for improving CMJ performance was PT + WBES combined program, and traditional PT obtained better results in 20 m sprint-time.
摘要介绍。本研究的目的是研究为期6周的低强度增强训练(PT) +全身电刺激(WBES)联合训练方案，与传统的PT相比，对垂直跳跃性能、20米短跑时间和握力的影响。材料和方法。将10名男、10名女体育学生随机分为对照组(CON)和实验组(EXP)。两组均进行为期6周的低强度PT，每周3天，第3天，EXP组同时联合WBES进行PT治疗。在训练前(测试前)和训练后(测试后)分别测量运动员的反动作跳(CMJ)高度、CMJ峰值功率、20米冲刺时间和握力。采用重复测量方差分析来确定训练计划后的差异。效应量(ES)采用Hedge’s g. Results评估。后测时各组间无显著差异。两组CMJ高度和CMJ峰功率均显著升高，其中EXP组ES更高(p < 0.001, g = 0.68;P < 0.001, g = 0.70)。两组20米短跑时间均显著改善，CON组ES更高(p < 0.001, g = - 1.68)。两组的握力也有所增加，但ES最小。结论。这两种训练方法都被证明是提高CMJ成绩和20米短跑时间的好策略。提高CMJ成绩最有效的训练方法是PT + WBES联合训练方案，传统PT在20米短跑中效果更好。

Abstract Introduction. Aerobic dance (AD) has grown as a popular aerobic exercise treating metabolic diseases. However, its beneficial effects on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with other types of aerobic exercise have not been known. This study aimed to compare the influence of AD and static cycling (SC) on anthropometric measures, systolic blood pressure (SBP), blood glucose, and total cholesterol. Material and Methods. The design of this study was a randomized controlled study (RCT). Thirty T2DM subjects were assigned to three groups, i.e. control (C), aerobic dance exercise (AD), and static cycling exercise (SC), ten subjects in each group. AD and SC were performed three times a week for eight weeks. On the follow-up, four subjects were withdrawn. Waist and hip circumference (WC and HC), BMI, and blood pressure (BP) were measured. Blood glucose (fasting (FBG) and 2 hours postprandial (2-h PPBG)) and total cholesterol were checked using a simple, instant blood examination device. A paired t-test, Anova and Tamhane’s T2 post hoc test were applied. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results. Student’s t-test showed that post-exercise waist circumference was significantly increased in the control group (92.7 ± 13.5 cm, p = 0.04), while post-exercise FBG and 2-h PPBG were significantly reduced in the SC group (112.5 ± 12.0 mg/dL, p = 0.04 and 155.0 ± 45.3 mg/dL, p = 0.02, respectively). Tamhane’s T2 post hoc indicates that 2-h PPBG in SC was lower than in the case of AD (155.0 ± 45.3 vs 171.3 ± 19.7 mg/dL, p = 0.04) and SC vs control (155.0 ± 45.3 vs 183.0 ± 24.1 mg/dL, p = 0.02). Systolic was significantly reduced in SC compared to the control group (126.9 ± 7.5 vs. 143.3 ± 17.5 mmHg, p = 0.04). The magnitude of reduced (Δ) in 2-h PPBG in SC was significantly different from control (Δ-18.75 ± 10.9 vs. Δ2.75 ± 12.4, p = 0.04) and AD (Δ-18.75 ± 10.9 vs. Δ6.37 ± 11.8, p = 0.02). Conclusions. Static cycling exercise improved 2-hour postprandial blood glucose and systolic blood pressure significantly more than aerobic dance in T2DM.
摘要简介。有氧舞蹈（AD）已发展成为治疗代谢性疾病的一种流行的有氧运动。然而，与其他类型的有氧运动相比，它对2型糖尿病（T2DM）的有益作用尚不清楚。本研究旨在比较AD和静态循环（SC）对人体测量、收缩压（SBP）、血糖和总胆固醇的影响。材料和方法。本研究的设计是一项随机对照研究（RCT）。30名T2DM受试者被分为三组，即对照组（C）、有氧舞蹈运动组（AD）和静态自行车运动组（SC），每组10名受试者。AD和SC每周进行三次，持续八周。在随访中，4名受试者退出。测量腰围和臀围（WC和HC）、BMI和血压（BP）。使用简单的即时血液检查设备检查血糖（空腹（FBG）和餐后2小时（2小时PPBG））和总胆固醇。采用配对t检验、Anova和Tamhane的T2事后检验。显著性设定为p＜0.05。后果Student t检验显示，对照组运动后腰围显著增加（92.7±13.5 cm，p=0.04），而SC组运动后FBG和2小时PPBG显著降低（分别为112.5±12.0 mg/dL，p=0.04和155.0±45.3 mg/dL）。Tamhane的T2事后分析表明，SC患者的2小时PPBG低于AD患者（155.0±45.3 vs 171.3±19.7 mg/dL，p=0.04）和SC患者（155.00±45.3 vs183.0±24.1 mg/dL，p=0.02）。与对照组相比，SC患者收缩压显著降低（126.9±7.5 vs 143.3±17.5 mmHg，p=0.04）来自对照组（Δ-18.75±10.9 vs.Δ2.75±12.4，p=0.04）和AD（Δ-18.75±10.9vs.Δ6.37±11.8，p=0.02）。在T2DM患者中，静态自行车运动对餐后2小时血糖和收缩压的改善显著高于有氧舞蹈。

Abstract Introduction. Tourist satisfaction and revisit intention have been used to measure tourism performance by the government agency. These two variables were investigated by previous studies but failed to focus on village-based tourism destinations, which are popular in Indonesia. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of cognitive destination image on tourist satisfaction and revisit intention. Material and methods. It also determines the role of tourist satisfaction as a mediating variable between cognitive destination image and revisit intention using 124 respondents. Cognitive destination image is divided into attractive condition, essential condition, appealing activity, and natural environment. Furthermore, this study employs the structural equation model (SEM) using smart-pls to analyze data. Results. The result shows that attractive and essential conditions are related to tourist satisfaction, while appealing activity and essential conditions influence the intention to revisit. Conclusions. Tourist satisfaction associates with the intention to revisit and attractive conditions. However, the function of the tourism satisfaction as a mediating variable between destination image and intention to revisit is partially revealed.

ABSTRACT This study examines the effects of influencing factors on support for tourism development and perceived economic benefits including community attachment, emotional solidarity and interest for participation in snow ski tourism in Iran. In addition, the mediation role of perceived economic benefits between the influencing factors and support for tourism development is examined. The present study relies on a survey of 300 residents of Pooladkaf, a recently known snow ski resort in Iran where tourism is still at its emerging stage. Partial least squares – structural equation modelling has been employed to analyse the data. Evidence from the study indicates that emotional solidarity has positive effect on support for tourism development. However, the hypothesized path relationships between community attachment and resident’s interest in participation were not supported. The study also shows that emotional solidarity and interests have positive effects on perceived economic benefits, and indirectly on support for tourism development through perceived economic benefits. The study makes an important theoretical contribution to the extant literature by way of applying a revised framework of social exchange theory to investigate the effects of community attachment, emotional solidarity and interest in participation on perceived economic benefits and support for tourism development in the context of ski tourism.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to examine the travel behaviors, travel motivations, and site preferences of Canadian and US mountain bikers to better understand the determinants of destination attractiveness during mountain bike-specific travel. An online questionnaire was distributed through social media of Canadian and US mountain bike clubs to collect data. A total of 1346 responses were collected, however, responses with missing data or from outside of Canada and US were deleted, resulting in a sample of N = 720. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and multiple regression analysis. EFA analysis of the 41 pull items extracted seven pull factors consisting of climate, trail conditions, natural setting, information sources, trail features, tourism infrastructure, and entertainment options. EFA analysis of the 20 push items extracted five push factors comprised of stimulus-avoidance, adventure experiences, novelty, competency-mastery, and social encounters. Multiple regression analysis revealed that push factors were correlated with pull factors, indicating that travel push motives and destination pull factors interact to form a mountain bike tourists’ perception of destination attractiveness. The findings offer recommendations for developing and marketing a mountain bike-specific travel destination.

ABSTRACT Mountain sports tourism literature shows a lack of conceptualisation probably due to its own particular character. Indeed, it is a complex market consisting of several products, services and actors from different natures. This paper examines how, on the one hand, the ecosystem approach, and on the other hand, the socioeconomic co-evolution of sport and tourism can help to understand the mountain sports tourism. The paper hypothesis argues that actors’ interactions, and sport and tourism economic models’ convergence have contributed to shape this market. The ecosystem’s actors have mobilised resources and strategies in order to incorporate sport and tourism industries to establish and to develop a specific market in mountainous areas. The French case study shows how entrepreneurs, local authorities, consumers, institutions, etc. seized the opportunity offered by the development of the society of leisure to constitute a socioeconomic community based on mountain sports tourism in the sense of James Moore [(1993). Predator and prey: Anew ecology of competition. Harvard Business Review, (May–June), 73–86; (1996). Business ecosystem and the view from the firm. Antitrust Bulletin, 51(1), 31–75].

ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to design a model for the development of sustainable sports tourism based on rural sports and local games (RSLG) in Mazandaran province of Iran. The study was conducted using a mixed-method comprised of qualitative and quantitative phases. The qualitative phase utilized grounded theory and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analyzed in three stages of open, axial and selective coding and a model was developed based on the derived codes. The findings indicated that sustainable sports tourism development based on RSLG is influenced by six different categories: ‘policy-making’, ‘marketing’, ‘finance and support’, ‘religious and social participation’, ‘infrastructure’ and ‘management and planning’. In the quantitative phase, partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to validate the model. The statistical population of this phase included the organizational staff operating in the fields of tourism and sport, organized coaches, referees and athletes of rural sports in Mazandaran. The findings of this phase revealed that the categories of ‘policy-making’ (0.461), ‘marketing’ (0.351), ‘financial and supporting’ (0.303), ‘religious and social participation’ (0.318), ‘infrastructure’ (0.166) and ‘management and planning’ (0.506) affect the independent variable sustainable sports tourism development based on RSLG.

ABSTRACT Rural areas in Spain are currently suffering from a serious problem known as depopulation. One of the strategies to reverse the depopulation process is the rise of sports tourism. The main objective of this research is to analyse the offer of hiking accommodation in order to be able to propose sports products and services adapted to the clients. We intend to text whether the accommodation offer meets the needs and expectations of hikers and, therefore, whether the area is attractive and generates a tourist product with added value. A qualitative methodology was used through interviews. The profiles interviewed are made up of the different interest groups that revolve around sports tourism in both the private and public spheres. A total of 16 semi-structured interviews were carried out, lasting between 40 and 70 min. The results indicate that the different hiking lodgings have been adapting their offer to make it more competitive, as indicated by previous research on attraction factors. However, it could be interesting to combine the efforts of the different accommodations in order to improve the destination. The implications of this study are various: they describe the current situation in terms of sports tourism in the inland area of Castellón, laying the foundations for setting possible short and medium-term objectives. On the other hand, they provide a larger corpus of information on the idiosyncrasy of the area studied, which translates into a transfer of knowledge that can be used by public administrations and by private companies.

ABSTRACT Previous research outlined the genesis of a new body of surf tourism research based on a wide array of gray and published literature (Martin, S. A., & Assenov, I. (2012). The genesis of a new body of sport tourism literature: A systematic review of surf tourism research (1997–2011). Journal of Sport and Tourism, 17(4), 257–287). The aim of this paper is to further investigate the development of the field through an evidence-based informetric analysis of international journal articles listed in Web of Science or Scopus databases. Employing a systematic review of journal papers published from 2011 to 2020, the study addresses the previous gray literature problem of accessibility and eligibility criteria for citation. Findings are drawn from explicit and tangential studies which capture an up-to-date overview of the evolution of surf tourism research. The study identifies active journals, authors, field locations, and leading areas of research, suggesting that the field has entered a period of ‘academic professionalization’. A bibliography of 96 journal articles presents academics and readers with a corpus of accessible research.

ABSTRACT Nature-based tourism has become one of the most popular leisure activities in the world. Activities in nature-based sites bring tourists closer to nature and enable them to find out more about the area through which they are walking by discovering diverse heritage and ethnographic features, situated on or near the hiking trails. It brings a wide range of individual benefits such as boosting mood, improving mental health, reducing stress, calming anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression. Hiking accounts for a significant share of nature-based tourism especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to explore the main motives that drive people to hike. Motivation is a key concept in determining and understanding the reasons for leisure and outdoor activities. Using the data collected in March 2021, the findings underline the importance of Relaxation, Discovery and Enjoyment as the factor that shows the greatest hiker’s motivation. In addition, Creativity, Learning and Control and Socializing have also proven to be important motivating factors. On the other hand, Recognition has been shown to be the least motive for hiking activities and people do not go on hiking to be recognized or show others that they can do it, except in some cases with younger and less experienced hikers. The paper concludes with research limitations and implications for destination management organizations and tourism service providers.
