In recent years, the use of advanced wearable technologies in tennis has improved the ability to monitor workload and performance indicators. Using the device Armbeep Tennis, attached to the wrist of an entry level female tennis player, we recorded 97% of the tennis training and all official matches over two annual competitive seasons. The aim of the study was to determine the variation of different workload indicators during the preparation and competition phases in one annual season and to compare the workload indicators between the two seasons. We found no significant differences in the results of the training, tournament, and performance indicators between the two seasons. Our tennis player trained more on average in the second year (Y1 = 90.9 min, Y2 = 97.5 min) and the percentage of active time was also higher (Y1 = 30.6%, Y2 = 32.4%). A higher number of shots per week (Y1 = 3109.1, Y2 = 2869.4) was observed in the first year, while the number of shots per hour was higher in the second year (Y1 =420.6, Y2 = 430.1). The pace of the rally was higher in the first year (Y1 = 24.6, Y2 = 23.4). The differences between the other workload indicators were not significant in the two years. This single case study provides good insight into the overall progression of training and competition over two annual seasons and can serve as a basis for determining workload indicators for novice tennis players or those just embarking on this path.

Referees assume a similar role with the players for the purpose of successfully finalizing a sports competition/match. Majority of the current studies have focused on the players/athletes’ role whilst the number of studies investigating the performance of the referees who manage the match/competition is relatively few. This study aimed to reveal whether professional self-efficacy, which is considered to be a significant predictor on the job satisfaction of referees, has an effect therein. The participants of the research comprise of 204 soccer referees assigned in different classifications. The referee self-efficacy scale (REFS) and a job satisfaction scale for the referees were used as instruments of collecting research data. The analysis of whether the research data were distributed normally or not is followed by the data analysis process. After determining that the data exhibited a normal distribution, parametric tests were performed. A path analysis was performed using the independent sample t-test for two independent variables, one-way variance (Anova) for more than two independent variables, the pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the variables and the AMOS program is used in order to evaluate the hypotheses developed within the scope of the research. In line with the findings obtained, a positive significant relationship was identified between the self-efficacy and the job satisfaction of the referees (p<0.01). ). In addition, significant differences were identified as a result of binary and multiple comparisons performed within the context of the research variables (p<0.05). Accordingly, the self-efficacy of the referees was found to have a significant effect on their job satisfaction (p<0.01).

in sport training practice. The aim of this study was to establish whether basketball coaches are capable of uniformly (congruently) evaluating the release time, release angle, ball rotation and overall correctness of a jump shot by observing it with the naked eye. The study included a sample of 13 coaches (six with more and seven with less experience) whose task was to evaluate basketball jump shots made by young basketball players aged 15.1 (± 0.75) years on average from a distance of 4.5 m. The values of Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple correlation coefficients (generally above 0.7) as well as Cronbach’s alpha coefficients (above 0.9) and Kendall’s W coefficients of concordance (mostly below 0.1) show a high level of uniformity and congruence in the evaluations of the quality (correctness) of a shots as a whole and also individual shot parameters. Quite a lower level of uniformity and congruence can be established in the evaluations of the consistency of individual parameters. This applies to both groups of more experienced and less experienced coaches (raters). The results allowed an assessment that the levels of reliability of the evaluation of the group of at least six raters are appropriate for scientific research. Given the low values of the ICC (Inter Class Correlations), only equalling about 0.6, we can say that only one rater did not meet the scientific evaluation criteria.

Limitation in ankle dorsiflexion is associated with the development of injury to the musculoskeletal system. However, little is known about the impact of different sports disciplines on the dorsiflexion range of motion in the ankle joint. Therefore, the aim of the study is to compare the dorsiflexion range of motion of ice hockey players and football players. The sample included 26 professional football players with an average age of 22.46 (± 3.75). The control group included 37 professional ice hockey players with an average age of 24.62 (± 4.34). The range of motion of ankle dorsiflexion in closed kinematic chain was tested using a mobile phone application. The mean ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in football players was 41.40° (± 5.36) at the right ankle joint and 45° (± 5.91) at the left ankle joint. The mean ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in football players was 42.49° (± 6.92) in the right ankle joint and 45.92° (± 5.45) in the left ankle joint. The ranges of motion of the dorsiflexion of the right ankle (p <0.016) and the dorsiflexion of the left ankle (p – 0.031) ranges of motion in ice hockey players were significantly higher compared to football players. The average ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in the closed kinematic chain of ice hockey players was significantly higher compared to football players

The purpose of a present study was to investigate the professional beliefs of Slovenian physical education teachers regarding the teaching of students with visual impairments in physical education. A selfadministered questionnaire was designed to examine teachers’beliefs. Participants, 131 Slovenian PE teachers, rated their professional beliefs on a fivepoint Likert scale. A factor analysis was conducted to examine the internal structure of the belief field. The results show that self-perceptions of their beliefs were complex and consisted of 7 factors, which together explained 33.7% of the cumulative variance. Teachers strongly believe that vocal information, colourful sports equipment, and tactical guides enable students with visual impairment to participate in physical education. Adapted methods, safety measures, and learning support assistants are also important, as is a positive attitude toward inclusion. The findings of the present study need to be incorporated into the future updating of PE teacher training programmes for teaching students with visual impairments.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the changes in physical activity levels (PAL). The purpose of this study was to determine the correlates of PAL during the COVID-19 pandemic among adolescents. This research included 209 adolescents aged 15-17 years from Croatia (89 boys, 120 girls). They were tested on anthropometrics, and fitness status (predictors). The fitness status was assessed before lockdown and included test of running 6 minutes (F6), jump rope, and sprint 100 meters. The PAL (assessed by the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents) was evidenced before- and during-lockdown and was observed as criteria. Changes in PAL between baseline and follow-up were evidenced by t-test for dependent samples. Associations between the fitness and anthropometric variables and PAL were evidenced by univariate and multivariate analyses. The PAL decreased significantly as a result of lockdown (t-test =3.46, p<0.001). In the total sample, significant correlations were found between aerobic endurance and sprinting, and baseline PAL (r=0.37; r=-0.32, respectively), aerobic endurance and follow-up PAL (r=0.34), sprint 100m and baseline to follow-up difference in PAL (r=-0.23). When gender stratified, correlations were significant only for boys. Better aerobic endurance determined baseline PAL, better sprint determined greater PAL decline as a result of lockdown. Results evidenced specific correlates of PAL before and during pandemic. Future studies investigating other correlates of PAL are warranted, to create interventions for maintaining adequate PAL during COVID-19 and similar crises.

The number of older people (65+ years) in the European Union is expected to reach 130 million by 2050. Regular physical activity has considerable benefits for health and physical functioning in the elderly population. The aim of the study was to evaluate the amount and intensity of self-reported physical activity expressed as energy consumption in a sample of 131 older individuals (aged 83.8 ± 7.6 years, 69% women) living in nursing homes by using the Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire. 109 participants reported to perform leisure time physical activity. Only 7.6% of them fulfilled the criteria for low physical activity proposed by Fried et al. (2001). The median energy expenditure (168.5 (IRQ=128.6) kcal/day) also exceeded the cut-off points for low activity. 54% of the participants stated that they perform the so-called heavy physical activity determined in a questionnaire with an intensity code 6 kcal/min or above. The questionnaire-based findings regarding physical activity in nursing homes are in terms of frailty encouraging but they should be verified against a more objective method for physical activity evaluation such as the use of accelerometers.

Maintaining a high quality of life and robust health as one grows older may be associated with higher general self-efficacy (GSE) and self-esteem (SEM). This study compares the effects of three types of exercise interventions (resistance training, proprioceptive training, and Nordic walking) on GSE and SEM. The final analysis included results of 34 adults (aged ≥ 65 years) who were not engaged in regular physical activity at least one year. Results indicate that physical exercise significantly positively affected GSE only in the resistance training group. No significant change of SEM occurred. The negative correlation between the initial level of GSE and the effect of physical exercise suggests that physical exercise may have a greater effect on people with low GSE. The positive correlation between the initial levels of GSE and SEM indicates the link between them. However, no association between changes in GSE and SEM over the intervention was found.

The positive correlation between the initial levels of GSE and SEM indicates the link between them. However, no association between changes in GSE and SEM over the intervention was found.","PeriodicalId":43206,"journal":{"name":"Kinesiologia Slovenica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48716597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper starts from the recognition that the media plays an important role in the context of dual career (DC) and seeks to establish the starting points and foundations for further research through a scoping review of the existing academic literature dealing with the relationship between DC and the media. 14 scholarly articles are analysed in more detail and classified into three basic groups according to their main focus: (1) media representations, (2) media consumption, and (3) social media. The analysis of the articles in the first group problematizes one-sided media coverage that emphasizes the sports context but neglects all others, and draws attention to comprehensive and multi-layered media representations. The media consumption group highlights specific media functions that are useful at the level of understanding and decision-making regarding the promotion of DC. The articles in the third group highlight the mechanisms and techniques of effective communication in social media, taking into account the aspect of content co-creation and interactivity. The overview can be seen as a foundation from which we can draw in further efforts to raise awareness of the concept of DC through the media, just as it can serve as a base from which we can continue to think about the connection between DC and the media and the useful potentials that the media can offer to DC.
