Abstract Little is known about how PE teachers respond to the particularities of certain institutional pressures. Such knowledge is needed to start a discussion on how external expectations are managed by PE teachers, who in turn make internal adaptions (e.g. change in teaching elements, schedules, feedback models, work teams) that create organisational principles. Such insights might ultimately help shed new light on the origin of unintended consequences arising from policy transformation. In this study, I explored how PE teachers respond to institutional pressures embedded in policy implementation by answering the following research question: What types of responses to multiple institutional logics can be interpreted from PE teachers’ narratives about policy implementation? I utilised an institutional logics approach to analyse the data collected from 16 semistructured interviews with Swedish PE teachers. The results showed that PE teachers respond in four ways: (a) compliance, (b) defiance, (c) compartmentalisation, and (d) combination. In addition, I discuss how PE teachers negotiate competing institutional pressures and point to aspects in the organisation of teaching that are direct consequences of this process.

Abstract The Norwegian civil society holds a welfare mandate to promote the integration of migrants. Included in this mandate is a belief that sport holds a particular potential to facilitate integration. Voluntary sports clubs are perceived as open, democratic, and inclusive arenas in which children and youth can form togetherness and community building regardless of social background. This notion is reflected in national policy documents, stating that today’s sports policy is expected to reflect the diversity of Norwegian society. Leaning on different and critical perspectives on sports-related integration, this study will explore how voluntary football clubs in Norway translate their political mandate of integrating migrant children and youth and discuss the potential impacts of different perceptions and practices of integration. Nine directors of inclusion of different demographical areas in one of the largest cities in Norway were interviewed. The result seems to trace different discourses and types of integration policies, illustrating how sports clubs translate their integration mandate. Both functional and moral approaches were identified, and the study demonstrates how migrants encounter different opportunities and conditions to be integrated into sports as well as other social spheres of the civil society.

Fencing is a sport that relies primarily on speed and coordination. These two elements allow the fencer to achieve his goal, which is to strike his opponent without being struck. The actions performed in the context of fencing require motor skills that fencers learn while training and they must aim at a target. This study aims to review the scientific literature to see the need and benefits of using the Favero EFT-1, as both a training and testing tool. Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched in order to find the original research studies which used this device in any form. The selected articles were written in English and were accessible in full-text. Finally, 9 articles were introduced in this study for the detailed analysis. Two ways of using this apparatus were found: for testing the speed of reaction and the accuracy of the shot, and as a method to improve the various forms of speed as the apparatus was introduced into the development program of this quality. In conclusion, we can say that this apparatus is very important in the domain of fencing because we can get some accurate data on the reaction speed of the strike; it is also a valid method to develop the speed as the results of studies are positive in terms of its improvement.

We have found the contradiction between the current requirements of competitive activities and insufficient justification of the methodological provisions of various aspects of the training of qualified badminton players, which led to the urgent scientific and practical task. An important aspect of this is the comparison of exercise load data (in terms of heart rate) between Ukrainian and Chinese badminton players in the same age group. Aim: to compare the heart rate of Ukrainian and Chinese badminton players aged 10-12 years within the training exercises. Material & Methods. We have used theoretical analysis and generalisation of scientific and methodological data, pedagogical observations of heart rate during training exercises of badminton players aged 10-12 years (the first zone provided for indicators within 124 bpm, the 2 – 125-145 bpm, the 3 – 146-166 bpm, the 4 – 167-187 bpm, and the 5 – more than 188 bpm), methods of mathematical statistics. During 2019, training exercises with the participation of 102 Ukrainian and 112 Chinese badminton players aged 10-12 were analysed. Results. Chinese athletes perform more intense loads, which are characterised by increased heart rate indicators and reflected in the share of those being in the fifth heart rate zone. At the same time, Ukrainian badminton players achieve a significantly higher (p≤0.01) average heart rate level by compensating for the use of marginal and near-marginal intensity in exercises, by increasing the amount of exercise performed in the third and partially second heart rate zones. Significant predominance (p≤0.01) of Chinese badminton players was found in the total duration of training sessions (20.03%), absolute and relative values of being in the first (59.04−87.12%) and the fifth (230−297%) heart rate zones, the number of moving to the fifth heart rate zone (173.02%). Ukrainian badminton players significantly (p≤0.05) outperform their Chinese peers in the average heart rate indicator of the athlete in training (2.72%), the absolute values of being in the second heart rate zone (16.91%), absolute and relative values of being in the third heart rate zone (16.95-31.11%). Conclusions. During the preparation of Chinese athletes, more attention is paid to the systematic and gradual increase in physical load (in terms of volume and intensity) compared to the Ukrainian peers. Based on the identified structure, we assume that moving from one level of physical load to another one takes place according to the alternation of loads of different intensity and volume.

A high prevalence of postural deviations is confirmed by the literature and considering the risk factors that can manifest in adolescents, an efficient method of intervention, that can be used on every type of patient, is important to be available to the therapist, taking into account the lack of a pro-active behaviour dominant in today society. The purpose of this study is to check if the therapeutic intervention carried out through manual techniques can improve the body alignment at the level of the spine. The subjects of this study were 20 14 to 16 years old high school students, from which 8 females and 12 males. Materials and method: The participants were evaluate using the KINEOD posturograph that utilizes infrared acquisition technology to provide a complete 3D postural analysis. An intervention program based on osteopathic manual technics, made by 10 sessions, was applied over a course of 3 months, and then the participants were reevaluated. The data received from the software of the KINEOD posturograph was analyzed and interpreted statistically, and the results were presented as tables and graphs. Conclusions: Results indicate that the intervention program used generated a numerical positive outcome in all four parameters evaluated, and in 2 of them the difference is statistically significative (“Shoulder imbalance” – P=0.007, “C7 deviation - Barré Vertical” – P= 0.049). From this we can conclude that manual technics can be used successfully in correction of the posture at spinal level.

This research proposal aims at studying the development of social skills among high school students through multidisciplinary program that incorporates physical education and socialization lessons. The study will pursue a multi-disciplinary approach by incorporating physical education classes and sports on the one hand with education for social skills on the other. Do students who are active or even participate in physical education classes are more prone to develop their social skills than students who do not take part or tend to remain passive or in these classes. Social skills include students’ ability to develop skills of social communication, cooperation in a teamwork, self-discipline, assertiveness and social adaptation skills as influenced by their level of activity in physical education and sports classes. Students are also engaged in reflexive sports mediation. Reflexive mediation takes place during or after a sport session, during which students reflect (discuss and analyze) about events that took place during the sports session, and whether the action and reaction could or should have been done differently.

Introduction. Low back pain causes great socio-economic costs. It is found among the adult population but also among children and teenagers. Yumeiho therapy is increasingly appreciated as being effective in relieving myo-articular pains by applying manual methods, which cause relaxation of tense muscles, effective drainage and an improvement in the trophicity of the tissues. Aim. This study aims to test the effectiveness of Yumeiho manual therapy and how it can bring benefits in joint mobility and decreased low back pain in adults. Material and Method. A group of 8 participants, 4 men and 4 women, aged between 22 and 60 years participated in the study. The joint range of motion (ROM), the Schöber test, Fingertips to floor (FTF) test and the VAS scale were used for evaluation. The therapeutic protocol was applied during 6 months, one session per week. The comparative analysis was performed in three distinct temporal sequences (I - initial, II - after 10 sessions, III – after 20 sessions). Results. The results revealed a significant increase in the flexibility of the lumbar spine accompanied by a reduction in the intensity of pain. Conclusions. This study confirms the hypothesis that the Yumeiho therapy brings significant improvements to patients who complain of low back pain estimated to be greater than or equal to 4 on the VAS Scale. The joint ROM and specific tests also showed considerable improvements after 6 months of treatment. In the future, a study should be conducted on numerous subjects.

Abstract The article explores how sport-related research contributes to the construction and reproduction of immigrants and their descendants as ‘Others’. This process, referred to as ‘Othering’ in this paper, is to be understood as a hegemonic act of ascribing otherness to social groups, marking them as being essentially different, generalising these alleged differences and transferring this alleged otherness into inferiority. This paper elaborates on this process of Othering theoretically and empirically. Qualitative content analysis of sport-related German-language academic publications enables an investigation of how researchers deal with social constructs of difference, such as ‘immigrant’, ‘migrant’ or ‘migrant background’, as well as revealing whether and how Othering occurs in their publications. As a result, this article demonstrates that Othering is found in a substantial number of academic publications. Furthermore, it exemplifies and discusses how the various forms of Othering manifest themselves at different stages in the research process.

Abstract Sports clubs may be an ideal setting for social integration for people from different backgrounds. Using heuristic multilevel models, prior studies linked the individual characteristics of the members with social structures at the club context (e.g. club goals) to explain social integration. However, due the organisation of sport activities in teams, another social context with distinct social structures (e.g. team culture) exists within clubs that is likely relevant for social integration as well. Based on data from 1415 members in 140 teams of 42 Swiss football clubs, this study analyses social integration in the dimension of identification in a three-level multilevel model that is the first to include the team context as a level of analysis. The results revealed that teams differ considerably in the social integration of their members. Besides individual factors (e.g. education level, membership duration), a team culture of social togetherness and especially a pronounced team sociability are relevant for identification. Cross-level interactions showed that these factors play a role for members independent of their migration background. Yet, additional positive effects exist for members new to the club.

Nagel","doi":"10.1080/16138171.2022.2133411","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/16138171.2022.2133411","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Sports clubs may be an ideal setting for social integration for people from different backgrounds. Using heuristic multilevel models, prior studies linked the individual characteristics of the members with social structures at the club context (e.g. club goals) to explain social integration. However, due the organisation of sport activities in teams, another social context with distinct social structures (e.g. team culture) exists within clubs that is likely relevant for social integration as well. Based on data from 1415 members in 140 teams of 42 Swiss football clubs, this study analyses social integration in the dimension of identification in a three-level multilevel model that is the first to include the team context as a level of analysis. The results revealed that teams differ considerably in the social integration of their members. Besides individual factors (e.g. education level, membership duration), a team culture of social togetherness and especially a pronounced team sociability are relevant for identification. Cross-level interactions showed that these factors play a role for members independent of their migration background. Yet, additional positive effects exist for members new to the club. Based on these results, sports club researchers should consider including the team level in multilevel analyses.","PeriodicalId":45735,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Sport and Society","volume":"20 1","pages":"201 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46804695","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}
