The aim of the study was to investigate the attitudes of Slovak able-bodied pupils towards the inclusion of pupil with visual impairment in physical education (P.E.) classes from the point of pupils’ experience. The research sample comprised a total of 419 able-bodied primary school pupils of the 6th to 9th grade, divided into pupils with experience with a visually impaired person (n=96) and without experience (n=323). The CAIPE-CZ was translated into the Slovak language and modified for the inclusion of visually impaired pupil in physical education lessons. The Non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test was used to assess differences in children’s attitudes between children with experience versus children without experience. Attitudes of able-bodied pupils towards the inclusion of pupils with visual impairment in P.E. lessons were only indifferent to very slightly positive in both samples according to their previous experience with a visually impaired person in their lives. Despite these findings, able-bodied pupils without previous experience with a visually impaired person compared pupils with experience show significantly higher positive attitudes towards visually impaired pupil in P.E. classes in the field of cooperation, willingness to help, socialization, and rules modification of sports games.

Abstract Although a large literature links mass sports events to elements of social capital arena-based sports with worldwide popularity like football, no studies have previously considered whether such associations can be found for sports that are specifically popular in particular regions. Here, we focus on cycling in Belgium. During the spring of each year, a unique type of one-day professional cycling race is organised in Belgium and France: cobblestone races (e.g. Tour of Flanders). These are very popular among the public in Flanders, Belgium because of their long history and current Belgian cyclists’ strong performances in them. We focus on a key element of social capital: trust in others. Using online survey data from a long-running study by the Flemish Government (N = 33,671), we analyse whether Belgian cyclists’ performances in and television ratings of cobblestone races are associated with various types of trust among the Flemish public. Results indicate that strong Belgian performances in cobblestone races are associated with greater neighbourhood trust, while high television ratings are also associated with greater trust. Some of these effects are moderated by age and gender. We discuss the implications of our findings and avenues of future research on the role of locally popular sports in the development of social capital.

Abstract This article explores the position of organisational ambidexterity in a Norwegian mentor programme for young leaders in sport. It examines to what degree it enabled participants to reflect on two main themes in theories of organisational ambidexterity: to sense the possibility for, and/or seise, actual change opportunities within their own sport organisations. Drawing upon 22 in-depth interviews (14 mentees, split into 10 males and 4 females), six mentors (3 males and 3 females), and two female programme organisers, two key findings emerged. First, the mentor programme provided a useful arena for improving the mentees’ self-awareness of the type of leaders they would like to become. Second, the programme fell short of addressing the educational preconditions for ambidextrous leadership as the ability to solve work-life challenges requires insight into the contextual factors that influence leadership practices in sports. The article introduces Time, Agency and Change as conceptual additions to the theory and application of ‘organisational ambidexterity’ in sport management work. These additions improve the analytical usefulness of organisational ambidexterity in studies of sport organisations and itemise its applicability to further mentor programme developments.

the Routledge anthology examines how different stages of adult life affect participation in lifestyle sports and — related — identity construction. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives, it explores how gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and location, in conjunction with age and career stage, affect lifestyle sports practices, interpretations, and meanings. Although emphasising midlife, and somewhat older adults and seniors, the book digs into a wide spectrum of lifestyle sports engagement, traced across the life course, from young adult to older age.

Abstract The process of international migration can be stressful – it is rarely simple or straightforward. Whilst the heterogeneous nature of migratory experiences means that the stress associated with migration may not result in common mental disorders (CMDs) for all migrants, scholars have argued that some migrant groups face greater exposure to risk factors associated with the development of CMDs than others. In this conceptual paper, I draw on scholarship tracing the migrations of general populations to show that migrant professional footballers may be one such group who are exposed to a greater risk of developing CMDs when they engage in the process of international transfer. Specifically, I identify how having little power within the transfer process can lead some players to experience a loss of status and/or diminished sense of self; how the often-unpredictable nature of international transfers can result in some players experiencing poor self-esteem and an inability to adjust; and how separation from physical support networks can result in some players suffering from loneliness, isolation, and an increased vulnerability to the development of a number of depressive symptoms. Taking these factors into account, I make a series of recommendations that could allow clubs to better manage players through these specific periods of vulnerability.

Abstract Participation in sport is recognised as a human right under the terms of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), as a component of ‘participation in the cultural life of the community’. It has also been declared a human right in the Council of Europe’s Sport for All Charter, the UNESCO International Charter of Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport and the Olympic Charter. UN member states which have ratified the legal treaties associated with the UDHR undertake to assure the rights involved and to submit periodical reports to the UN on their progress in doing so. A review of EU member states’ recent progress reports reveals a general failure to recognise the status of sport as a human right or to include data on levels of sport participation. Given the absence of existing guidelines on assessment of national performance in regard to realisation of the right to sport participation, this paper presents a worked example to demonstrate a possible methodology for such a procedure, utilising, for demonstration purposes, the European Commission’s Eurobarometer survey data and taking account of variation in national GDP per capita levels.

Abstract A majority of snow sports enthusiasts now use snowparks, even if only occasionally. Epidemiological studies highlight the high probability of accidents occurring at these facilities, compared to traditional pistes. We sought to understand why and how snowparks users tackle such dangers. The representations and behaviours adopted by riders were identified using a questionnaire-based survey, developed after an initial phase of qualitative research. Age and level of expertise are the two main criteria around which the specificities of snowparks users’ relationship with risk are organised. With a few rare exceptions, every expert freestyler has sustained an injury of some severity. At the same time, expert freestylers engage in a process of ‘denial’ regarding the dangers involved in their sport. However, expert freestylers are not simply reckless. Indeed, their relationship with risk appears to be highly calculated, judging from the various behaviours they adopt to minimise the risk of an accident occurring. Helmet wearing is the only risk management behaviour that is adopted less frequently as the individual level of ability increases. Such an attitude allows experts to test their own capacity for judgement and independent thought, while also demonstrating it to others. Thus, the relationship experts have with risk is shaped to a degree by their desire to feel part of a community and stand out from the crowd. The benefits expected from flirting with danger are the greatest and the most diverse among younger individuals. For these individuals, taking risks is a quest to find themselves and their limits and thus forge an identity.

Abstract This paper focuses on the comparative (mis-)interpretation of the 1980 Moscow and 2014 Sochi Olympic ceremonies by media outlets located in Great Britain and the USA, Russia’s ‘significant others’. Further, the paper attempts to uncover the most persistent facets of Russia’s identity – by decoding culturally-specific meanings of the signs and symbols in both ceremonies – and to trace which aspects of its national narrative Russia had to let go eventually in the course of the 34 years that separate the two Olympics. This is undertaken by a documentary analysis of ‘Western’ media between the periods of 20 July and 6 August for Moscow and 7–23 February for Sochi – time frames when the direct coverage of the ceremonies took place. Our key findings suggest that instead of enabling Russia to validate a new national identity and image the Western media only helped to reproduce resilient reciprocal national identities. Furthermore, it was the Sochi Olympics as Russia's biggest soft power party to date, not the aftermath, which, not least through a transformative attendant media response/framing from both sides, became the closing chapter of the Russian-Western interdependent identity construction in the early 21st century. Thus, apart from placing the spotlight on Russia’s evolving identity and interests, this paper also investigates how the USA’s and the UK’s media resisted Russia’s (Soviet) soft power strategy, whilst in the process solidifying their own identities and promoting their strategic narratives.

Abstract This article focuses on the Arctic Winter Games (AWG) that, since 1970, have been bringing together young people from across the circumpolar world. This sporting and cultural gathering prioritises sharing and exchange between young people and promotes indigenous cultural and sporting practices (Dene Games, Arctic sports). As such, the Games’ purpose is to contribute to building an Arctic community. Furthermore, via their educational objectives and social aims, they assert their role as an actor in the development of the territories. This article proposes an analysis of the 2016 Games organised in Nuuk (Greenland). By employing an ethnographic approach, combining work on the archives of the AWG and interviews with participants and Games officials, we show that beyond their sporting aspect, it would seem that these events can constitute levers of social, cultural and educational development for a territory from a sustainable and responsible perspective. They thus disseminate a model that questions, even destabilises, the contemporary sports movement, while suggesting perspectives for its evolution. By examining the public value of the AWG, we will discuss the paradigm on which international sports events are built today.

Introduction. In Asia, in the early 1970s, a new concept was developed -kinesiological tape.Physiotherapists use the kinesiological band in both performance or amateur athletes and patients who are in a kinetic recovery program. The exact mechanisms by which the kinesiological band acts on the body have not yet been fully elucidated .Aim. The aim of the study was to identify in the literature the information about the potential positive or negative effects offered by the use of kinesiological tape inperformance athletes that had suffered injuries and also to identify potential prophylactic effects inhealthy athletes.Material and method. The selection of articles was made using the Google Scholar search engine, where 98 studies were found in the databasesof ResearchGate, PubMed, MinervaMedica, Journal of Athletic Training, Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy. Only studies on groups of performance athletes were included.Results. Of the 28 selected articles, 12 studies showed results in which there were increases in performance and improvements in some parameters, in 12 studies it was concluded that there were no beneficial or significant effects, and in 4 articles the results of applying the bands kinesiological and placebo effect had relatively similar positive effects.Conclusions.Kinesiology tapes do not seem to bringmajor benefits in terms of the performance inhealthy athletes. Regarding the potential prophylactic effect of kinesiological bands, several complex and longer studies need tobe performed. But the kinesiological bands could be considered as an adjuvant method in rehabilitation.
介绍。在亚洲，在20世纪70年代初，发展了一个新的概念-运动学磁带。物理治疗师在表演或业余运动员和进行运动恢复计划的患者中使用运动带。运动学带作用于人体的确切机制尚未完全阐明。本研究的目的是在文献中确定使用运动机能学胶带对受伤运动员的潜在积极或消极影响的信息，并确定对健康运动员的潜在预防作用。材料和方法。文章的选择是通过Google Scholar搜索引擎进行的，其中98项研究来自ResearchGate、PubMed、MinervaMedica、Journal of Athletic Training、Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy的数据库。本研究只纳入了对竞技运动员群体的研究。在选取的28篇文章中，有12篇研究的结果显示运动成绩有所提高和某些参数有所改善，有12篇研究的结论是没有有益或显著的效果，有4篇文章的结果是运动机能学带和安慰剂效应具有相对相似的积极效果。结论:运动机能学带似乎并没有给健康运动员的运动成绩带来重大的好处。关于运动带的潜在预防作用，需要进行一些复杂和长期的研究。但运动机能学带可以作为一种辅助康复方法。

In Asia, in the early 1970s, a new concept was developed -kinesiological tape.Physiotherapists use the kinesiological band in both performance or amateur athletes and patients who are in a kinetic recovery program. The exact mechanisms by which the kinesiological band acts on the body have not yet been fully elucidated .Aim. The aim of the study was to identify in the literature the information about the potential positive or negative effects offered by the use of kinesiological tape inperformance athletes that had suffered injuries and also to identify potential prophylactic effects inhealthy athletes.Material and method. The selection of articles was made using the Google Scholar search engine, where 98 studies were found in the databasesof ResearchGate, PubMed, MinervaMedica, Journal of Athletic Training, Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy. Only studies on groups of performance athletes were included.Results. Of the 28 selected articles, 12 studies showed results in which there were increases in performance and improvements in some parameters, in 12 studies it was concluded that there were no beneficial or significant effects, and in 4 articles the results of applying the bands kinesiological and placebo effect had relatively similar positive effects.Conclusions.Kinesiology tapes do not seem to bringmajor benefits in terms of the performance inhealthy athletes. Regarding the potential prophylactic effect of kinesiological bands, several complex and longer studies need tobe performed. But the kinesiological bands could be considered as an adjuvant method in rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":45735,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Sport and Society","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86585216","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}
