ABSTRACT Research suggests adult stakeholder (coach, referee and administrator) communication about concussion influences the likelihood of athletes reporting concussive symptoms. The goal of this study was to develop a conceptual model to describe factors contributing to adult stakeholder (AS) concussion communication with youth athletes, to inform future concussion education interventions. We conducted a qualitative interview study with n = 63 AS in youth American football and football (soccer) in Washington and Georgia, analysing interviews using a coding structure based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Across our sample, AS could describe concussion symptoms and mechanism in detail (Knowledge). AS believed that playing with a concussion could be dangerous, though many had experienced a concussion themselves and not had any negative outcomes (Attitudes). AS believed they were responsible for concussion safety (Normative beliefs), but described that messaging from institutions did not emphasise the role of AS in concussion safety. AS were comfortable in their ability to engage in concussion communication (Self-efficacy), but some expressed concern that talking about concussion might not improve safety but instead result in overreport of symptoms (Controllability). In conclusion, AS have good knowledge of concussion safety, but no clear mandate from their institution to discuss concussion with youth athletes, and concerns that such communication would not improve safety. Future research should utilise these findings to improve the effectiveness of concussion educational interventions for coaches, referees and administrators.

ABSTRACT Of interest across the domains of sport, education and health in the UK and internationally is the challenge of engaging girls in physical activity. There has been increasing support for novel approaches that take seriously the notion of ‘co-design’: i.e. involving girls in decision-making processes that directly and indirectly affect their engagement with physical activity. Given this approach is still in its infancy, this study set out to explore pupils’ experiences of a co-designed school-based physical activity programme – the UK Youth Sport Trust’s Girls Active programme – and offers suggestions for enhancing future co-design interventions. We report analysis of 22 focus groups conducted with 143 pupils from eight of the ten schools that engaged in the Girls Active programme. Seeking to explore how co-design can be optimised, the analysis arrived at a conceptualisation grounded in comfort theory, articulated here across three sources of comfort and discomfort: material, social and practical. We discuss how orienting future co-design interventions around these sources of discomfort may be a useful way of avoiding several significant reasons why girls might disengage from physical activity in schools. Crucially, we suggest that pupils are uniquely placed to offer insight and foresight about experiences of discomfort, making a co-design approach a potentially powerful way to help navigate what can be a complex, changing and context-sensitive issue. Finally, important distinctions between co-design and co-production are discussed to encourage researchers in the field to carefully consider which of these approaches are most appropriate for their own work.

ABSTRACT In this study we aimed to explore older adults’ experience of community-based power assisted (PA) exercise and its potential impact on social exclusion, isolation and loneliness (SEI&L). The lead author obtained ethnographic data over a 6-month period using three primary methods: participant observation (900 hours), a reflexive diary, and 10 semi-structured interviews. Participant observation provided a rich lens into a PA exercise centre describing the scene, characters, and dialogue that enabled the ethnographer to interpret stories of SEI&L. Participants expressing stories of SEI&L (6 service-users, age 66–90 years) and participants working at the centre (3 staff members, age 41–50 years; 1 volunteer, age 69 years) were invited for interviews with the purpose of expanding on data from the field. We used dialogical narrative analysis to construct story themes and meaningful structures from the data that enabled a nuanced understanding of the plots and characters woven into the ethnographic creative non-fiction. Shifting our perspective from story analysts to storytellers, we have constructed two emotionally vibrant composite narratives to show the mechanisms and meanings of SEI&L for older adult exercisers following bereavement in later life and when living with a debilitating chronic health condition. The therapy centre provided a safe and inclusive space for older adults to reconnect through accessible modes of exercise and an atmosphere fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness. This work offers rich insight into older adult’s experiences of community-based exercise and raises awareness of SEI&L to help instigate personal and social change across multiple audiences.

ABSTRACT This investigation explored practitioners’ experiences of providing Athlete Life Management (ALM) as a career assistance support service for Singaporean athletes. The researchers adopted a relativist ontology and constructionist epistemology to frame the study, and an interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology. The five participants (four female, one male) were from various Singaporean sporting organisations and were employed as ALM practitioners. Following data analysis, we discovered one superordinate theme: sporting ecosystem. Three higher order themes were also identified within the sporting ecosystem: cultural evolution towards a sporting identity, harmonious practitioner engagement, and practising with care and compassion. Collectively, the results emphasised the organic development of ALM, and that this important athlete support service is situated within Singapore’s dynamic sporting ecosystem. The study adds valuable knowledge to the existing literature on athlete career support by highlighting the practitioners’ experiences within a non-traditional discourse.

ABSTRACT Public accounts about world-class athletes, musicians, and mathematicians often include notions of the highly talented child that then develops into a successful performer in a more or less straightforward manner. However, a large corpus of scientific literature indicates that talent development trajectories are highly diverse and idiosyncratic. Analysing the experiences of the high-achieving individuals themselves might add an additional perspective to our understanding of how talent develops over time. In this regard, the stories that individuals tell about their talent development can provide in-depth accounts of their experiences but also of individual and societal beliefs about talent and its development. The current study intends to examine the talent development stories of athletes, musicians, and mathematicians. Cross-domain talent research might help to culturally contextualise developmental processes. In this regard, our aims are twofold. First, we aim to examine how high-achieving individuals story their talent development pathways. Second, we aim to identify cultural ideas about talent in the individual stories. In total, we interviewed ten elite athletes, ten professional musicians, and ten elite mathematicians. We employed a thematic narrative analysis and a structural narrative analysis. We identified five types of talent narratives on developmental pathways: searching for the spotlight, straightforward career, overcoming obstacles, riding the waves, and applying effort. These types of narratives were observable across performance domains. Despite the idiosyncratic nature of developmental pathways, athletes, musicians, and mathematicians appeared to be impacted by similar sociocultural narratives about talent and its development when constructing their personal talent development stories.

ABSTRACT Participatory approaches, such as community-based participatory research (CBPR), have become more common in the physical activity literature over the last two decades. As well, there has been an increase in the number of published studies that have documented the use of such approaches when engaging in research with Indigenous peoples. However, published studies tend to focus on the results of research, and the processes of how to successfully engage in such research are rarely described. Drawing upon the expertise of Indigenous community members, the purpose of this study was to identify promising practices for engaging in physical activity-focused CBPR in northern Indigenous communities in Canada. Eight community members who were part of a larger CBPR project engaged in one-on-one semi-structured interviews that were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim; content analysis was employed to analyse transcripts. The perspectives of community members are represented by five themes: (a) foundational understanding of colonialism, (b) ‘research is like English as a second dialect’, (c) build purposeful relationships, (d) efficiency with local leadership, and (e) need for consistency. Community members shared examples of shortcomings and success stories related to the ways in which they have been involved in research, and subsequently highlighted specific suggestions and promising practices for physical activity-focused CBPR. The experiences of community members must be heard and understood to ensure CBPR projects are respectful and relevant.

ABSTRACT There is growing interest in co-production in the sport, exercise, and health sciences. That includes from researchers in sport and exercise physiology, public health, sports medicine, sport sociology, sport and exercise psychology, sport management, physical education, sport coaching, leisure studies, geography, and occupational therapy. Despite the disciplinary spanning interest, academic resources in our field dedicated to the complex problem of comprehensively detailing the co-production of research and taking it forward are lacking. This paper is a modest attempt to do this. Rationales outlining the need for a resource are first presented. What is meant by co-production is then attended to. An original typology is developed to illuminate different ways co-production is defined and put to use. In the typology three differing types of co-production are described: Citizens’ Contributions to Public Services; Integrated Knowledge Translation; and Equitable and Experientially-informed Research. Why researchers co-produce research, along with various challenges involved with doing it, are then offered. It is suggested that generally university structures and academic norms tend not to facilitate co-production processes. Next, working principles to promote co-production as a means to advance a participatory turn in sport, exercise, and health research are introduced. We also highlight practical options for how to co-produce research and advance various criteria for judging the quality of it. Throughout it is highlighted why qualitative researchers are well prepared to do high quality co-produced research and should be considered important collaborators for researchers without qualitative expertise intending to co-produce research. The paper closes with future directions.

ABSTRACT Extensive research recognises the complex and often conflictual nature of parents and coaches involvement in youth sport. There are very few accounts that deeply explore the nature of parent and coach relationships in the current stock of literature, even less so from a sociocultural perspective. This is significant given that the behaviours of parents and coaches can determine youth athletes’ enjoyment, motivation, and psychosocial development within sport. As such, this study sought to understand how parent and coach relationships develop in an Australian youth sport context. Based on qualitative data collected from semi-structured interviews with parents (n = 10) and coaches (n = 10) in South Australia, four main themes were developed including the importance of credentials, the intermediary role, sharing goals, values, and expectations, and managing relational boundaries. The key findings suggest that parent and coach relationships are developed and shaped by broader aspects of society and culture, and beyond social exchanges with one another. It was found that this type of relationship is developed and maintained by wider discourses, historical and cultural specificity, and forms of language that reinforce a contemporaneous meaning and significance of parent and coach interactions.

ABSTRACT There are a variety of important methodological considerations for collaborations between global North researchers and local community-based researchers undertaking empirical investigation in the field of sport for development and peace (SDP) in the global South. To explore these, we outline the participatory action research methodology adopted in this study and the use of visual and digital methods to explore the use of bicycles to achieve international development goals – as part of what we call the ‘bicycles for development’ (BFD) movement – in Uganda. We describe (1) the preparation involved in such an approach; (2) the collaborative processes of visual and digital methods utilised for the research; and (3) key elements of our participatory approach, including mutual learning, understanding expectations of the international partnership, and interpreting the nuances involved in conducting cross-cultural research. We conclude the paper by discussing the methodological implications these three elements have for future SDP and BFD research and the importance of critically considering team-based, participatory action research.

To explore these, we outline the participatory action research methodology adopted in this study and the use of visual and digital methods to explore the use of bicycles to achieve international development goals – as part of what we call the ‘bicycles for development’ (BFD) movement – in Uganda. We describe (1) the preparation involved in such an approach; (2) the collaborative processes of visual and digital methods utilised for the research; and (3) key elements of our participatory approach, including mutual learning, understanding expectations of the international partnership, and interpreting the nuances involved in conducting cross-cultural research.

ABSTRACT Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) participation involves two dimensions: quantity and quality. Research has been undertaken to explore strategies for increasing the quantity of LTPA among ambulators with spinal cord injury (SCI). Yet, no studies have been conducted to examine the quality of LTPA participation among ambulators with SCI, which may be important for well-being, health, and maintaining participation. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore conditions and elements involved in positive and negative quality LTPA experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 ambulators with SCI. Using pragmatism and integrated knowledge translation as guiding approaches, the data were thematically analysed. Following inductive coding, the Quality Participation Framework and the Quality Parasport Participation Framework were employed for deductively coding the elements and conditions associated with LTPA experiences, respectively. Three principal themes were identified which provide broad insights for LTPA among ambulators with SCI: ableism, feeling sidelined, and effects of SCI. These themes capture conditions that fostered a positive or negative quality PA experience, including: three intrapersonal, five social, four programme, and one physical condition(s). Elements identified in the Quality Participation Framework were also related to both positive and negative quality LTPA experiences. This study provides insight on how LTPA is uniquely experienced by ambulators with SCI, including conditions and elements that influence quality participation. Self-determination theory may be useful to inform the design of behavioural interventions due to its alignment with the Quality Participation Framework. Behavioural interventions should employ behaviour change techniques to target conditions and elements of LTPA participation.
