Full textAbstract:
eSports has boomed, the number of eSport athletes has grown rapidly, and many teenagers aspire to a have career in eSports. However, eSports athletes' careers involve many problems, such as career-entry difficulties, straining life habits, burnout, premature retirement, and post-career dilemmas. Despite a growing research interest in eSports, a void of knowledge exists regarding eSports athletes' career aspects. To address the gap in research, this paper aims to take an initial step by proposing a framework for eSports athletes' career transitions. The framework combines two approaches from sport psychology and sport literature. The framework can help eSports athletes, coaches, and other stakeholders have and maintain long-lasting and healthy careers.

The purpose of this study was to explore career development narratives of esport players. Three Swedish professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players were interviewed about their careers. Two of the participants had retired and one was still active. Their competition level ranged from top 10 nationally to top-20 internationally. The interview transcripts were analyzed using a holistic-form structural analysis, which resulted in three overarching narratives (i.e. performance, relational and sink or swim complemented by multiple narrative threads (e.g., discovery, relational). Due to the multi-faceted nature of esports, it might be common for esport players to tell dialogical stories. The study highlighted challenges esport players face (e.g., balancing esports, work and social/academic life), which are exacerbated by the unstable structure of esports and a lack of cultural narrative templates helping esport players to make meaning of their careers. Social and professional support facilitating narrative flexibility and dual careers might help esport players cope with challenges and become successful in esports and upon retirement.

We analyze the careers of Esports professional players. The Esport industry has been able to monetize growing spectator demand to offer tournament prize money amounting to US$113 million in 2017. A few hundred players, out of tens of thousands, earn enough to remain professional gamers exclusively. We examine three aspects of professional Esport player careers. First, a “superstar” effect leads to increases in the top prizes drawing amateurs into the professional ranks. Next, while age and experience affect player performance, player ability remains difficult to assess. Finally, career exits reflect a quick resolution regarding the uncertainty in player ability.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Player exploitation in esports refers to the practice of exploiting players for financial or other gain without providing fair compensation or benefits. This can include issues such as low wages lack of job security and poor working conditions. Examples of player exploitation in esports include signing players with long-term contracts with low wages and no benefits and the use of non-disclosure agreements. Agreement (NDA) prevents players from discussing their pay or working conditions. This situation makes it difficult for players to negotiate better contracts or speak out against abuse leaving teams if they are unhappy with their situation. Another example is the lack of proper training support and benefits for players such as healthcare and mental health. Many esports teams do not provide enough resources for players to improve their skills and maintain good physical condition. This can lead to fatigue and injuries which can seriously affect a player’s career. Many esports players are young and the lack of access to these resources makes them vulnerable to exploitation. The esports industry is still relatively new and unregulated which can make it easy for companies and teams to exploit players. However, there are many organizations and advocacy groups working to improve working conditions and ensure fair treatment for sports athletes. Athlete exploitation in esports in general is a serious issue that needs to be addressed to ensure that athletes are treated fairly and have the resources they need to succeed in their careers.

Full textAbstract:
Research on the stress and burnout experienced by athletes in the esports field remains limited, necessitating an approach that considers the unique environment and circumstances of esports athletes. This study aims to explore the conceptualization of burnout experiences among professional esports athletes. The participants included 88 athletes from the League of Legends Championship Korea (LCK). Among these, in-depth interviews were conducted with 7 athletes who had experience in international tournaments (the World Championship), while an open-ended survey was completed by 81 athletes. Data collected through in-depth interviews and an open-ended survey were digitized and utilized for analysis. Through critical review by another author and inductive categorization, the conceptual components of esports athletes’ burnout were derived. Through the analysis of 251 raw datum, it was conceptualized into five conceptual factors: performance, overtraining, interpersonal relationships, physical and psychological exhaustion, and career and motivation. The results of this study confirm that esports athletes, like athletes in other conventional sports, experience burnout during their careers, highlighting issues in their unique environment, particularly in aspects of interpersonal relationships and training and rest conditions. This research can serve as a foundational resource for effective athletes’ psychological health management in the esports field and underscores the need for further research on burnout among esports athletes.

This study aims to explore the rational choice of UNSEC Athletes to pursue a career as an esports athlete. These conditions are then analyzed using the theory of rational choice by James S. Coleman. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach. Research informants were selected using purposive sampling technique with certain criteria, including UNSEC students who have been athletes for at least 1 year. Data were collected using interviews, observation, and documentation. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using interactive analysis techniques by Miles and Huberman. The research results indicate that UNSEC students choose to pursue a career as esports athletes based on their high interest in online games from a young age. They are confident that esports will continue to evolve, which makes them interested in pursuing a career in this field. Additionally, they have confidence in their ability to compete with other athletes. This confidence is supported by various resources they possess, such as advanced devices, parental support, and the UNSEC community. According to the theory of rational choice, UNSEC students as actors are able to manage the resources they have, such as devices that meet the needs of athletes in competition, parental support that is beginning to show acceptance of their career choice, and the relational facilities and location provided by the UNSEC community to enhance the athletes' comfort in competing. This rational background serves as the foundation for UNSEC students to choose a career as esports athletes

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we explore the ongoing negotiations and tensions involved in creating high-performance play and livestreaming practices, produced through assemblages of creative networked actions between individuals, institutions, infrastructures and communities. From speedrunning communities to esports leagues, expert game cultures offer key cases to explore the conventions of expert gameplay, the politics of digital play itself and the formation of networked careers. These include performances (on/off screen, by players and spectators), ownership/governance (of the game, of third-party organizations and products), and the expressions of player rights. Specifically, via two case studies, we look at how two veteran franchises – Valve Corporation’s Counter-Strike and Nintendo’s Super Mario – have engaged with the moving foundations and expressions of co-creation practices made by those engaged in high-performance networked careers of play.

Full textAbstract:
The popularity of esports has gained public interest over the past decade, leading to the industries evolution, providing further avenues for career prospects and educational outreach. Esports, abbreviated from electronic sports, is the nature of playing video games casually or professionally at a competitive capacity, either as an individual, or as a team. Previous research areas in esports have focused on education, psychological factors, health and nutrition, business management, performance review, and commercialisation, factoring in the relevance of esports in sports and supporting terms. The industry has different avenues and perspectives that are advantageous to develop innovative approaches, providing information about the industry, and improving the understanding for the wider general audience. Serious games and games-based learning provides the opportunity to educate and inform about the phenomenon of esports and the potential career industry pathways. This paper presents a conceptual design for an esports serious game to educate players about esports in relation to career pathways and genres. Investigation and adaption of serious game frameworks (e.g. Learning Mechanics-Game Mechanics, Activity Theory Model of Serious Games) will be adhered to through the research. This will lead to the development of a serious game for potential stakeholders to assist in their interests in studying or learning about esports and its multi-faceted career opportunities through simulated scenarios. A mixed methods approach will support the increased frequency of new esports programmes in secondary, further, and higher education, using a serious game to inform prospective students in relation to potential career avenues. The conceptual design idea presented in this paper will support the initial research steps of a serious game to teach about esports.

Esports is a digital entertainment and gained its popularity due to technological advancements, technology accessibility and elite competition. Esports is recognized as a formal industry and a form of occupation and led to higher career opportunities. In 2019, more than 11,000 job vacancies were advertised and are projected to reach more than 22,500 jobs in 2020. This study investigates the relationship between Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI) & Facilitating Conditions (FC), towards esports Career Choice Intention (CCI) among 365 private university students. The regression analysis shows that PE, EE, SI and FC have a significant impact on CCI. The independent variables indicate that the five factors significantly predict CCI - F (5, 359) = 40.562, p<0.001. And the R2 result of 0.603 postulated that the model explains 60.3% of the variance in CCI. The research on esports as a career choice intention is few and limits the number of referencing. Possible future research on the key success factors of esports companies could illustrate the industry's career progression. Alternatively, industry players should look at the allocation of budgeting and resources, and its relationship with attitude towards esports.

Role-play is an active learning tool that increases the involvement, motivation, and responsibility of students through their immersion in the very industry for which they are learning and preparing and has been used in a wide range of settings, including education, business, and entertainment, to facilitate education, problem-solving, and personal growth. As such, role-play was implemented in an Introduction to Esport course to help students better understand and experience the real-life planning, obligations, and execution of the many roles and responsibilities necessary to host and stream an esport competition. In this manuscript, we offer an overview of student experiences and provide lessons learned to help enhance future role-playing and experiential learning opportunities in the esport space. Results from this project demonstrated that role-play can be an effective pedagogical tool, affording students with opportunities to enhance their knowledge and familiarity with the esport industry, learn and practice industry-specific skills, and experience a real-time event competition requiring them to apply what they learned in the classroom.

eSports is a rising modality of sports entertainment in the United States and has growing implications for education. Providing competitive eSports teams in schools satisfies the growing desire to train and educate students on the skills emphasized in STEM and Career Technical Education (CTE) education, as well as in programs such as English and Language Arts. eSports develop the soft skills universities and employers like to see in a student graduating from high school. As the market continues to grow for eSports, opportunities for post-secondary education as well as for prospective employment will increase. The popularity of eSports will continue to grow, and this popularity will be reflected in the schools.

A crisis of literacy has emerged among high school students in the United States. In order to encourage students’ engagement with literacy education, there is a need for an integrated curriculum of English Language Arts (ELA). An integrated language arts curriculum would allow students to learn literacy and reading skills while engaging with a motivating context. Meanwhile, esports has grown as a worldwide culture, expanding to more than just players and spectators to include a whole ecosystem of stakeholders. As esports grow in popularity and acceptance, educators have looked to connect the skills developed in esports with academic and career opportunities. We found esports to be a viable content area for the integrated curriculum because esports is favored among many students and involves reading activity as an essential part of participation.

Esport is a growing form of entertainment because of technological advancements, increased online gaming participation and competition, and technology access. Esport shares traditional sport characteristics, with players, spectators, competition, and entertainment. As the esport industry continues to grow, career offerings in esport-specific and traditional positions has demonstrated an increase in need for trained and prepared individuals. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) an individual seeking employment in the esport industry should possess. Subject matter experts were interviewed to identify the KSAs one should possess for an esport career. Ten themes appeared: Business Acumen & Strategic Approach; Human Relations Skills; Relationship Management; Effective Communication; Technology Management; Legal and Ethical Practices; Research and Creative Problem Solving; Global and Cultural Orientation; Leadership; and Critical Evaluation and Analytical Skills. Additionally, esport specific KSAs and competencies aligned with three broad organization categories: people, structure, and goals. Traditional workplace knowledge is required as well as discipline specific knowledge. There is an expectation with industry evolution, functional areas (domains) within esport will continue to emerge. Lifelong learning skills, passion, and a desire to acquire advanced knowledge will be integral to success and sustainability of an esport career.

Electronic sports (esports) and research on this emerging field are interdisciplinary in nature. By extension, it is essential to understand how to standardize and structure training with the help of existing tools, developed over years of research in sports sciences and informatics. Our goal for this work is to review the available literature in esports research, focusing on sports sciences (training, periodization, planning, and career stages) and software (training tools, visualization, analytics, and feedback systems). To verify the existing sources, we applied the framework of a scoping review to address the search from multiple scientific databases with further local processing. We conclude that the current research on esports has mainly focused on describing and modeling performance metrics that span over multiple fragmented research areas (psychology, nutrition, informatics). However, these building blocks have not been assembled into a well-functioning theory of performance in esports by, e.g., providing exercise regimes or methods of periodization for esports.

Full textAbstract:
The potential of esports as a rehabilitative tool for military personnel, particularly in the context of stress and stress-related conditions, is a promising avenue for further investigation. This study examines the potential of esports to reduce stress and enhance psychological well-being. This study examines the mechanisms through which video games and esports activities contribute to reducing anxiety, increasing emotional stability, and developing stress resistance. Esports is conceptualized as a relaxation and cognitive stimulation tool, which helps in effective stress management through distraction and engagement in-game tasks. Particular attention is paid to the role of social interaction in team games, which contributes to the development of a sense of support and social integration. The practical aspects of using esports in rehabilitation and stress management programs are highlighted. This study considers the potential of esports as an innovative means of rehabilitation for military personnel who have experienced stress and stress-related disorders. The relationship between gaming activities and psychological adaptation is analyzed, and the effectiveness of esports in overcoming the effects of combat stress is substantiated. Esports is proposed as a way of psychological support that promotes social integration and improves the emotional state of veterans, reducing the level of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Esports are positioned as an emerging pathway for veterans to transition into civilian life, with opportunities for professional development in the gaming industry, from content creation to esports coaching. This dual function—as therapy and career catalyst—makes esports a uniquely versatile resource. This study concludes by emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to expand research into esports' rehabilitative potential, particularly in anxiety and social reintegration challenges.

Full textAbstract:
While some research suggests South Korea has fallen behind other developed nations with regard to publishing and using serious games in the classroom, Korean interest in video games remains extremely high. Due to a number of cultural, social, and technological factors, esports was primed to become a significant force in Korean culture and received significant support from the Ministry of Culture. The Korean Ministry of Education, meanwhile, is resistant to adopting educational games as a part of its accepted pedagogy. This resistance has created a significant gap between the interest in video games as a learning tool and that of video games as an industry and career path in Korea. While a number of factors play a role in the languishing serious games market, based on evidence analyzed through educational gaming literature it is unlikely educational gaming will be able to significantly advance without the support of the primary governing body controlling educational policy.

Sports and neoliberalism in Latin America: the cases of Argentina and Brazil Abstract The election of Macri, in Argentina, 2015, and the impeachment of Rouseff, in Brazil, 2016, marked the return of neoliberalism with strength in Latin America. It goes to show that in both cases sports and particularly sports management, played an important role: In Argentina, the successful exercise of Macri as president-manager of Boca Juniors was the springboard for his entry into politics, has marked his career and incorporated it to the electoral campaign. In Brazil, the management of the 2014 World Cup and Olympic Games 2016 concentrated its benefits on FIFA, the IOC, its transnational partners and national entrepreneurs associated with corrupt state officials and politicians, making sports a mobilizing element that contributed to the protests of 2013 and questioned the popular-democratic character of the government of Rouseff, evidencing that it maintained the benefits of the powerful, while deceiving its people because it did not fulfill what was promised and aggravated its problems, contributing to its political weakening.Keywords: Sport.

Full textAbstract:
Professional esports athletes spend a long time in the same sitting posture during training and competition. Mobile esports may exacerbate potential postural problems because of the closer and unsupported arms and because athletes spend more time in a forward-/flexed-head posture. Prolonged sitting in these postures carries significant health risks and may lead to musculoskeletal problems and injuries. The objective of this retrospective study is to assess the posture, mobility, and stability of the spine for professional mobile esports athletes. We collected spine-assessment data from 48 athletes participating in a top-tier league on a real-time-strategy battle-arena online game. The spinal assessment was conducted using the SpinalMouse® under upright standing and trunk flexion in addition to the Matthiass test. Measurements were converted into Idiag Scores by the SpinalMouse® software. The Idiag Posture, Idiag Mobility, and Idiag Stability scores were 62.50 (IQR: 21), 63.50 (IQR: 19.5), and 54.50 (IQR: 14.5), respectively, and were significantly lower (p < 0.001) than the reference normative value (100). Age was found to have a weak positive correlation with the posture score (ρ = 0.29, p = 0.048). Although career duration appeared to lower the scores, the association was insignificant (p > 0.05). The scores also had no significant association with body height, body mass, body mass index, and esports team (p > 0.05). It was anticipated that mobile-based esports would attenuate the biomechanics of the spine and increase the likelihood of musculoskeletal problems, such as neck and back pain.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the results of an empirical study of the “sportification” of amateur-level competitive computer gaming. How do amateur players, who are unlikely to become professional esports players, turn what is considered to be enjoyable entertainment into a collective activity that demonstrates traits traditionally associated with professional sports, such as self-discipline, a focus on achieving results and overcoming personal limitations? Ethnographic research, consisting of in-depth interviews and participant observations, was conducted in the last quarter of 2019 based on a series of tournaments (Rocket League, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, and Rainbow Six Siege) managed by a student esports club of a Moscow-based university. Such clubs combine different levels of esports practice: players who consider themselves amateurs who attend tournaments “for fun”, players seeking professionalization and who have already received the first modest revenue from their activity, as well as players who achieved the status of a cyberathlete through membership in one of the university teams. Thus, student esports represents an ideal environment for exploring the dynamics of changes in the meanings that players put into their activity, as well as for finding elements holding together what could be called “esports culture”. The analysis conducted in the present article is based not so much on the interpretations of the phenomenon of esports that exists in the field of game studies, as on two classical sociological traditions: the writings of Erving Goffman and Howard Becker, on the one hand, and those of Max Weber and Norbert Elias on the other. As a result, the process of the “sportification” of the amateur practice of competitive computer games is presented in the article as a change in the actors’ level of reflexivity: towards the game, towards themselves during play, and towards the world around the game, occurring as they move through the stages of the “career of a competitive player”.

INTRODUÇÃO: A avaliação e análise de agentes estressores e enfrentamento de problemas em atletas pode ter um papel importante na compreensão daquilo que é enfrentado por esses atletas no dia-a-dia, além de poder propiciar um aumento na performance esportiva. No caso específico dos atletas universitários, além das dificuldades do mundo esportivo em si, existem as questões que permeiam o ambiente universitário e, muitas vezes sem estrutura, os atletas tem que conciliar essas duas carreiras.OBJETIVO: Analisar as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas por atletas universitários de esportes de raquete, bem como verificar as situações estressoras enfrentadas pelos mesmos. MÉTODOS: Este estudo de caráter descritivo e quali-quantitivo, utilizou o survey como tipo de pesquisa. Foram analisados 9 atletas universitários de esportes de raquete. Como instrumento, foi utilizado o questionário Estratégias de Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizada a estatística descritiva e a análise de conteúdo.RESULTADOS: As estratégias de enfrentamento mais utilizadas pelos atletas foram as focadas no problema e busca por suporte social. Como agentes estressores notou-se a dificuldade na conciliação da carreira esportiva com a vida acadêmica.CONCLUSÃO: Verificou-se que a maioria dos atletas utiliza estratégias de enfrentamento eficientes e encontra mais dificuldades em conciliar a dupla carreira (aluno-atleta) do que dificuldades esportivas em si. Assim, torna-se necessário uma maior percepção por parte dos gestores do esporte universitário acerca deste tópico, sendo ainda necessário maiores estudos neste tópico, visando auxiliar os atletas e proporcionar um maior rendimento esportivo e acadêmico para os mesmos.ABSTRACT. Stressors and coping in tennis and table tennis college athletes.BACKGROUND: The evaluation and analysis of stressors and coping in athletes can play an important role in understanding what is faced by these athletes on a daily basis, in addition to providing an increase in sports performance. In college athletes, besides the difficulties of the sporting world itself, there are issues that permeate the university environment and, often without structure, athletes have to reconcile these two careers.OBJECTIVE: Analyze the coping strategies used by university athletes of racket sports, as well as to verify the stressful situations faced by them.METHODS: This study has a descriptive and quali-quantitative and qualifying approach and uses survey as a type of research. Nine college racquet sports athletes were analyzed. As a questionnaries, it was uses the Estratégias de Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and content analysis were used. RESULTS: The coping strategies most used by athletes were those focused on the problem and the search for social support. As stressors, it was noted the difficulty in reconciling sports career with academic life.CONCLUSION: It was found that most athletes uses effective coping strategies and have more difficulties to reconcile the dual career (student-athlete) than sports difficulties themselves. Thus, it is necessary to have a greater perception on the part of university sports managers about this topic, and further studies on this topic are necessary, aiming to help athletes and provide them with greater sports and academic performance.

This investigation aimed to verify how Brazilian women coaches were inserted into high-performance Paralympic sports in Brazil. Based on the premises of Cultural History and Sports History, we applied the principles of Oral History, producing oral sources through the technique of semi-structured interviews. The participants were women who worked or still work as coaches of Paralympic athletes in the high-performance field. The testimonies allowed the understanding of their trajectories, highlighting them as historical subjects. The incentives for women to approach the coaching career were diverse: university internships, previous life as an athlete, family influence, and being a woman with a disability. Thus, it is important to highlight the need to enhance the contact spots of society as a whole and, in particular, of Physical Education students with Paralympic sports in order to expand the range of academic and professional fields.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common intervention for sports injuries that significantly impacts athletes and their careers. Returning to sports after this surgery is challenging due to the influence of psychological and social factors. The objective of this study is to describe the psychosocial factors that interfere with the return to sports in athletes after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). A review of reviews was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Data sources included PubMed/MEDLINE and Virtual Health Library. Systematic reviews investigating specific psychosocial factors related to returning to sports after ACLR were included. Reviews addressing other knee procedures, studies with less than 9 months of follow-up, participants with a history of other ACLR surgeries, and reviews not exclusively focused on ACL injuries were excluded. Initially, 397 articles were identified. After applying eligibility criteria, 10 studies were included, involving 42,805 athletes from various sports. The main psychosocial factors influencing the return to sports after ACLR include fear of reinjury, lack of confidence, motivation, lifestyle changes, self-efficacy, depression, and psychological readiness. Most studies showed a moderate risk of bias. It is concluded that the psychosocial factors identified as influencing the return to sports after ACL reconstruction are highlighted by the importance of anxiety, confidence, resilience, motivation, and social and institutional support.

O treinador possui papel central na formação de jovens no esporte. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os desafios de prática enfrentados por treinadores no basquetebol. Participaram 11 treinadores de Santa Catarina - Brasil. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisadas por meio da análise temática. Os treinadores descreveram três temas gerais subdivididos em sete categorias: Desafios para Gerir a Prática – falta de recursos financeiros, gestão do esporte, falta de tempo; Desafios da Carreira – futuro da profissão de treinador, oportunidades de trabalho; Desafios com os Atletas – motivação dos jovens da nova geração, formação cidadã. A falta de recursos e uma gestão profissionalizada do esporte dificultam o trabalho de treinadores que precisam se preocupar com a documentação dos atletas, prestação de contas, entre outras funções ao invés de focar nos treinamentos, o que parece gerar um impacto na qualidade da formação em longo prazo dos atletas. Outro grande desafio apontado pelos treinadores foi a dificuldade sobre a carreira como treinador de formação, sem ter um futuro claro e garantias de oportunidades para se tornar treinador de equipes profissionais. Por fim, os treinadores comentam sobre as barreiras para motivar os novos atletas para a prática e aliar a preparação esportiva com a formação cidadã, sendo o esporte uma importante ferramenta para o desenvolvimento positivo dos jovens da nova geração. Assim, os treinadores parecem ter os recursos mínimos disponíveis e precisam assumir diversos papéis para manter a qualidade de formação de jovens no esporte, o que parece gerar instabilidade, insegurança e incerteza na profissão. The coach has a central role in training young people in sports. The aim of this study was to understand the practice challenges faced by basketball coaches. Eleven coaches from Santa Catarina - Brazil participated. Semi-structured interviews were carried out and analyzed through thematic analysis. The coaches described three general themes subdivided into seven categories: Challenges for Managing Practice - lack of financial resources, sports management, lack of time; Career Challenges - future of the coaching profession, job opportunities; Challenges with Athletes - motivation of young people of the new generation, citizen training. The lack of resources and a professional management of the sport make it difficult for coaches who need to worry about the documentation of athletes, accountability, among other functions instead of focusing on training, which seems to have an impact on the quality of training in sports of athletes. Another major challenge pointed out by the coaches was the difficulty over the coaching career, without having a clear future and guarantees of opportunities to become coach of professional teams. Finally, coaches’ comment on the barriers to motivate new athletes to practice and combine sports preparation with citizen training, and sport is an important tool for the positive development of young people of the new generation. Thus, coaches seem to have the minimum resources available and need to take on several roles to maintain the quality of youth training in the sport, which seems to generate instability, insecurity and incertitude in the profession.

Changes in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rulebook at the beginning of 2019 regarding the special ranking for pregnancy or parental start and the uprising in sports psychology investigations regarding this theme in elite sport, inspired this study. The aim was to explore whether the changes in the WTA regulations modifies the vision of the possibility to combine motherhood and professional tennis career in both current and former elite tennis players. Participants were 10 Spanish female elite tennis players, some mothers (n = 3) and others non-mothers (n = 7). For data collection, a semi-structured interview was used and, through thematic content analysis, three themes were defined: (a) game, set and match: is it enough just by changing the rules? (b) Centre court: to serve tennis player and mom vs. at the return tennis player and (c) warning coaching: tennis as a team sport. The results of the study revealed that motherhood and an elite tennis career is possible to combine even though it is still a feat for the mother athlete. Our study suggests strategies that could favour motherhood with an elite tennis career: (a) have the support from the athletes’ entourage, (b) having financial support or funding, (c) have some areas or rooms destined for children in tournaments and (d) provide basic services for children in tournaments. El cambio de normativa de la Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) a principios del 2019 sobre maternidad y el auge de investigaciones en psicología del deporte sobre este tema en el deporte de élite, inspiraron este estudio cuyo objetivo fue explorar si el cambio de normativa modifica la visión de la compaginación de maternidad y carrera tenística en tenistas profesionales en activo y retiradas, madres y no madres. Participaron 10 mujeres tenistas españolas, algunas madres (n = 3) y otras no (n = 7). Para la recolección de datos se utilizó una entrevista semi-estructurada y a partir de un análisis temático del contenido se definieron tres temas: (a) game, set and match: ¿es suficiente solo con cambiar la normativa? (b) Centre court: al servicio mama-tenista versus al resto tenista, y (c) warning coaching: el tenis como deporte de equipo. Los resultados revelan como las modificaciones del reglamento facilitan un primer paso hacia la compatibilización de la maternidad con el tenis de élite, pero aún hacen falta más medidas de acompañamiento como las sugeridas en este estudio: (a) contar con el apoyo del entorno psicosocial de la deportista, (b) disponer de una ayuda económica, (c) disponer de espacios para los hijos en el entorno deportivo y (d) facilitar elementos básicos para los niños en los torneos. A mudança nos regulamentos da Women's Tennis Association (WTA) no início de 2019 sobre a maternidade e o surgimento das pesquisas em psicologia do esporte sobre o assunto no esporte de elite inspiraram este estudo cujo objetivo foi explorar se a mudança nos regulamentos modifica a visão da combinação de maternidade e carreira de tênis em tenistas profissionais ativos e aposentados, mães e não mães. Participaram 10 tenistas espanholas, algumas mães (n = 3) e outras não (n = 7). Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizada uma entrevista semiestruturada e, a partir da análise temática de conteúdo, foram definidos três temas: (a) jogo, jogo e jogo: basta mudar o regulamento? (b) Quadra central: servir a jogadora-mãe contra o resto da jogadora, e (c) orientação de advertência: tênis como esporte de equipe. Os resultados revelam como as modificações nas normas facilitam um primeiro passo para compatibilizar a maternidade com o tênis de elite, mas ainda são necessárias medidas de apoio como as sugeridas neste estudo: (a) contar com o apoio do ambiente psicossocial da atleta, (b) ter auxílio financeiro, (c) ter vagas para crianças no ambiente esportivo e (d) fornecer elementos básicos para as crianças em torneios.

E-sports offer a career opportunity, a life goal, for many people. In this industry, the pressing question of whether it qualifies as a sport or not often arises, but one aspect rarely examined within professional boundaries is the legal standpoint. One major difference between e-sports and traditional sports is that traditional sports (e.g., football, hockey, basketball, karate) represent freely conducted activities, whereas e-sports are enabled by software, video games, which have copyright holders. Therefore, video games can only be used within the boundaries defined by copyright law, not just for consumers in the traditional sense, but also for e-athletes. This article examines the impact of copyright holders on the rights and obligations of recreational players who are considering or have set out to become e-athletes. The main problem is that the life paths of an e-athlete and a regular videogame player have a common starting point: recreational gaming, usually at home. The following article will focus on the EULA of the most popular esport game nowadays, the League of Legends.

FR. Cette étude s’intéresse aux interactions des femmes journalistes de sport de la presse romande avec leurs sources masculines. Les femmes journalistes de sport évoluent dans l’un des univers journalistiques les plus masculins, tant du point de vue de la présence des femmes dans la profession (13% seulement dans la presse romande malgré une récente féminisation) que de l’objet médiatisé. S’appuyant sur des observations réalisées dans deux quotidiens romands et 25 entretiens biographiques, l’étude montre que, face à des pratiques de terrain identifiées comme masculines, les femmes journalistes de sport mobilisent la féminité et certains stéréotypes qui lui sont associés dans leurs interactions avec les sources. Journalistes polyvalentes, non expertes dans le domaine du sport, ce sont des contraintes de position qui les amènent à déployer de telles stratégies. Mais la mobilisation du genre comme ressource dans le travail de terrain relève aussi d’une « identité stratégique » pour la plupart. Jouant de l’assignation, elles tirent profit du fait d’être une femme et parviennent à recueillir des informations qu’elles jugent sincères et authentiques et qui leur permettent de développer une approche « féminine » de l’information sportive dont la qualité est reconnue au sein de la profession. Néanmoins, bien rares sont les femmes journalistes qui parviennent à modifier les rapports de pouvoir genrés au sein de leur rubrique et la mobilisation du genre comme ressource professionnelle se révèle en outre ambivalente. Elle contribue à minorer les compétences journalistiques des femmes et nuit à leur reconnaissance professionnelle dans l’univers sportif ainsi qu’à leur carrière dans le journalisme.

EN. This study focuses on the interactions of female sports journalists working in the Swiss-French daily press with their male sources. Female sports journalists work in one of the most male-dominated journalistic specialties, both in terms of the presence of women in the profession (only 13% in the French-speaking Swiss press, despite recent feminization) and in terms of media coverage. The study is based on observations of two daily newspapers and twenty-five biographical interviews, and demonstrates that, within this fieldwork identified as masculine, female sports journalists deploy femininity and stereotypes associated with it in their interactions with sources. Especially for non-disciplinary journalists (non-experts in the field of sports), vocational demands lead them to deploy such strategies. But mobilizing gender as a resource in their field work is also a “strategic identity” for most of them. In reversing the stereotype, they take advantage of being a woman and manage to gather information that they consider sincere and authentic and that allows them to develop a “feminine” approach to sports writing, whose quality is recognized within the profession. Nevertheless, very few women journalists manage to change the gendered power relations within their sector. Furthermore, the implementation of gender as a professional resource is ambivalent in that it also contributes to the underestimation of women's journalistic skills and undermines their professional recognition in the world of sports as well as their career in journalism.

Jornalistas polivalentes, não especialistas no campo do esporte, são as restrições de posição que as levam a implementar essas estratégias. Mas a mobilização de gênero como um recurso no trabalho de campo também é uma « identidade estratégica » para a maioria delas. Ao desempenhar a tarefa, elas se beneficiam de ser uma mulher e conseguem coletar informações que consideram sinceras e autênticas e que lhes permitem desenvolver uma abordagem « feminina » das informações esportivas cuja qualidade é reconhecida dentro da profissão. No entanto, muito poucas mulheres jornalistas conseguem mudar as relações de poder de gênero dentro de suas rubricas e a mobilização de gênero como recurso profissional também é ambivalente. Contribui para subestimar as habilidades jornalísticas das mulheres e prejudica seu reconhecimento profissional no mundo do esporte e sua carreira no jornalismo.

FR. A la veille de la Grande Guerre la boxe anglaise a pris, dans les sociétés anglo-saxonnes (États-Unis, Grande-Bretagne et Australie) et depuis peu en France, une dimension sociale et culturelle d’importance. Dans l’Hexagone alors qu’elle était au tournant du XIXème siècle une mise en scène illégale et inconnue du grand public, elle a connu en 10 ans une fulgurante ascension. Aussi, En 1914, elle est devenue sport roi non seulement à Paris mais également en province. Ce que l’on peut appeler « la Belle Époque de la boxe anglaise en France » est marqué par une corrélation entre les succès de cette pratique et l’avènement de la première superstar du sport tricolore : le boxeur Georges Carpentier. Né en 1894 à Liévin, dans les bassins miniers du Pas-de-Calais, le « gosse » embrasse la carrière de pugiliste à l’âge de 14 ans. Entre 1908 et 1914, au rythme de nombreuses et surprenantes victoires, sa popularité ne cesse de croître. Elle atteint son apogée dans les deux années précédant la guerre, particulièrement lors de probants triomphes face à la fine fleur pugilistique britannique. A l’occasion de matchs mobilisant les ressorts du nationalisme anti-anglais, ces affrontements poursuivent la longue inimitié historique entre la France et la « perfide Albion », tout en nourrissant et amplifiant la célébrité du jeune prodige. A l’aube du culte des vedettes et dans une métaphore évidente de la guerre, la presse franco-britannique n’hésite pas à l’élever au rang de « vengeur de Waterloo ». Puis, contre toute attente, à quelques mois de l’embrasement de la vieille Europe, augurant du nouveau jeu d’alliance militaire qui se dessine dans les salons de la diplomatie franco-anglaise, il devient dans ces mêmes journaux le « champion de l’Entente Cordiale ».

EN. In the years preceding the Great War, English boxing occupied an important social and cultural role in Anglo-Saxon societies (United States, Great Britain and Australia) and came to gradually occupy a similar position in France. At the turn of the 19th century, it was still an illegal and obscure show to French audiences. However, in the course of the following decade, it was propelled to higher grounds: by 1914, it had become the king of sports, both in Paris and in the provinces. The “Belle Époque of English boxing in France" is characterized by the correlation between the success of the sport and the rise of the first French boxing superstar, Georges Carpentier. Born in 1894 in Liévin, in the coal mining basins of the Pas-de-Calais, the “kid” embraces the career of pugilist at the age of 14. Between 1908 and 1914, his popularity was on a constant rise thanks to numerous and surprising victories. His popularity climaxes in the two years preceding the war, largely thanks to multiple victories against the British pugilistic elite. Mobilizing nationalism fueled by anti-English sentiments, these boxing matches are presented as a natural extension of the long historical enmity between France and the "perfidious Albion", contributing to grow and amplify the young prodigy’s fame. At the dawn of celebrity worship, and in an obvious metaphor of the war, the Franco-British press did not hesitate to adorn him as the "Waterloo avenger". Then, against all odds, a few months before the dislocation of old Europe, the same newspapers transformed him into the "champion” of the Entente Cordiale, implicitly pulling in behind the new military alliances taking shape in the halls of Franco-British diplomacy.

PT. Às vésperas da Grande Guerra, o boxe inglês assume uma dimensão sociocultural central nas sociedades anglo-saxônicas (Estados Unidos, Grã-Bretanha e Austrália). Isso ocorre também na França, onde, até a virada do século XIX, não passava de uma encenação ilegal desconhecida do público em geral. 10 anos depois, experimenta uma ascensão meteórica, tornando-se, em 1914, o rei dos esportes em Paris, mas também nas demais cidades francesas. O período da Belle Époque do boxe inglês na França é marcado por uma convergência entre o sucesso do boxe e o advento da primeira superestrela do esporte francês: o boxeador Georges Carpentier. Nascido em 1894 em Liévin, nas bacias mineiras do Pas-de-Calais, o “moleque”, como era chamado, abraçou a carreira de pugilista aos 14 anos de idade. Entre 1908 e 1914, tendo já acumulado diversas vitórias surpreendentes, sua popularidade não para de crescer, atingindo seu auge nos dois anos que precederam a guerra, com vitórias arrasadoras contra a nata do pugilismo britânico. Essas partidas, cenário de incitação ao nacionalismo antiinglês, passaram simultaneamente a consolidar a longa inimizade histórica entre a França e o “pérfido Albion” e a fama do jovem prodígio. Nos primórdios do culto às estrelas do esporte, a imprensa franco-britânica, lançando mão de uma óbvia metáfora bélica, eleva Carpentier ao ranking de “vingador de Waterloo”. Poucos meses antes do estremecimento da velha Europa, contrariando todas as expectativas e prefigurando o novo jogo de alianças militares que se perfilava nos salões da diplomacia franco-britânica, Georges Carpentier torna-se, nas colunas desses mesmos jornais, o “campeão da Entente Cordiale”.

Reconhecido pelo Comitê Olímpico Internacional, o cheerleading é esporte que tem despertado o interesse de novos praticantes e integra o programa de competições da Confederação Brasileira do Desporto Universitário (CBDU) e da International University Sports Federation (FISU). O Brasil conta com uma seleção, que representa o País em eventos internacionais, com importante participação de atletas ainda na condição de estudantes universitários. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as percepções dos atletas de cheerleading da Universidade de Brasília quanto a barreiras e oportunidades acadêmicas e esportivas, bem como identificar se existem diferenças de percepção em conformidade com características da amostra, com especial atenção ao desempenho esportivo. Realizamos um estudo exploratório, quantitativo e transversal com 68 atletas. As análises descritivas iniciais procederam da distribuição de frequência das respostas ao questionário e, em seguida por tabulações cruzadas para verificar tendências entre as respostas (variáveis categóricas). Essas tendências foram avaliadas por meio do teste qui-quadrado, para uma distribuição esperada dos cruzamentos das variáveis e os resultados encontrados. Foram percebidas disparidades entre os grupos conforme o local de treinamento e os resultados alcançados na pesquisa, além de haver divergências entre os sexos quanto à compatibilidade das atividades. Os principais resultados permitiram avançar na análise da dupla carreira para universitários em diferentes níveis de rendimento, os quais demandarão, portanto, diferentes abordagens pela instituição de ensino.

Recognized by the International Olympic Committee, cheerleading is a sport that has aroused the interest of new practitioners and is part of the competition program of the Brazilian University Sports Confederation (CBDU) and the International University Sports Federation (FISU). Brazil has a selection that represents the country in international events, with important participation of athletes still in the condition of university students. The objective of this study was to analyze the perceptions of cheerleading athletes from the University of Brasília regarding academic and sports barriers and opportunities, as well as to identify whether there are differences in perception according to the characteristics of the sample, with special attention to sports performance. We carried out an exploratory, quantitative and cross-sectional study with 68 athletes. The initial descriptive analyzes proceeded from the frequency distribution of the answers to the questionnaire and then by cross-tabulations to verify trends between the answers (categorical variables). These trends were evaluated using the chi-square test, for an expected distribution of the crossings of the variables and the results found. Disparities were noticed between the groups according to the training location and the results achieved in the research, in addition to differences between the sexes regarding the compatibility of activities. The main results allowed advancing in the analysis of dual careers for university students at different levels of income, which will therefore require different approaches by the educational institution.

Objective: To identify and characterize the Occupational Profile of Paralympic athletes, before and after starting their sports careers. Method: Observational, cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study, with a quantitative approach, with Paralympic athletes from the Sports Training Center of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. The athletes answered the sociodemographic questionnaire and the Occupational Roles Identification List. A descriptive analysis of the data was carried out. Results: Sixteen athletes participated in the study, eight athletes from athletics and eight from swimming, with an average age of 29.8 years. The sports career impacted the performance at other occupational roles oh the athletes in the present time, reducing their performance at Student, Worker, Volunteer, and Religious roles, and increasing their performance at Hobby/Amateur, and Caregiver roles. Conclusion: The results help understand the complexity of combining paralympic sports with other occupational roles. The relevance of the occupational therapist in the field of parasports can be seen, in order to find strategies with the parathelete towards a better performance and level of satisfaction for the occupational roles indicated as important for these individuals. The occupational therapist can help the parathelete to rebuild his roles, considering the focus on sports performance in a high performance career, reconciling the different occupational roles with the high productivity required.Keywords: Parathlete.

El Comercio Justo como estrategia de desarrollo cuenta entre sus criterios de certificación la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres. Tras un trabajo de campo realizado en Chiapas, se observa que las productoras de café obtienen más beneficios económicos que en el mercado tradicional, sin que ello suponga un empoderamiento en su entorno. Entre las fortalezas para llevar a cabo este criterio encontramos la organización de las mujeres como base para su desarrollo, la sensibilización en cuanto a la desigualdad entre los géneros, el acceso a los recursos y la identificación de las mujeres como sujetos autónomos; entre las debilidades, la ideología del sistema patriarcal, las dificultades de desplazamiento de las mujeres, el monolingüismo o la asunción naturalizada de su multiplicidad de roles: productoras, cuidadoras, madres y esposas.
ABSTRACTAs a development strategy fair trade includes among its certification criteria equality of rights between men and women. After a visit to the field in Chiapas, the study observed that coffee women producers obtain certainly more financial benefits with certified product rather than with the traditional market. However, this does not imply an empowerment at the level of local communities. Several advantages to applying the equality criterion were found. These include the organization of women as a starting point for development, the raising of awareness of gender inequality, gender training for women, access to resources and the identification of women as independent subjects. The disadvantages of this approach included those elements that upheld the ideology and the patriarchal system, the difficulties women experienced in moving from one place to another, monolingualism, domestic violence and the natural multiplicity of their roles as producers, carers, mothers and wives.

Los atletas de modalidades deportivas migran a lo largo de su carrera a otros países en busca de diferentes objetivos, entre ellos, para lograr un mejor rendimiento y un estado social y financiero. En este sentido, el objetivo de este estudio fue revisar la literatura en relación con los aspectos psicológicos involucrados en el proceso de expatriación de los atletas. Para este fin, se realizaron búsquedas en las bases de datos de tesis y disertaciones de Scielo, PubMed, SportDiscus, BVS, Embase y CAPES, con palabras específicas para cada base, en inglés, portugués y español. Se incluyeron estudios que incluyeron atletas de rendimiento e investigaron el proceso de migración internacional en el deporte y se excluyeron los estudios de revisión y estudios con estudiantes, estudiantes atletas y entrenadores. Después de una cuidadosa selección, realizada a través del programa administrador de referencias bibliográficas, el software EndNote®, se seleccionaron y almacenaron ocho estudios elegibles para el análisis utilizando el modelo temporal de transición cultural. Por lo tanto, los resultados obtenidos ilustraron que, entre los atletas, no es una práctica común buscar información previa sobre el país anfitrión y / o el contexto deportivo en el que se insertarán. En relación con el proceso de adaptación cultural aguda, se hizo evidente que la estrategia principal utilizada está vinculada a las necesidades psicológicas básicas, además del aprendizaje de idiomas, fueron fundamentales para promover el sentimiento de pertenencia a la cultura y, en consecuencia, el desarrollo de Adaptación sociocultural. Por lo tanto, se concluye que investigar los aspectos psicológicos involucrados en la migración internacional de atletas, ofreciendo la preparación psicológica para enfrentar los desafíos pertinentes a la adaptación cultural, probablemente contribuirá a una mejor comprensión de las opciones de estrategias que se utilizarán en este proceso, así como determinando el éxito de la migración. Athletes from sports modalities migrate throughout their career to other countries in search of different objectives, among them, to achieve better performance and social and financial status. In this sense, the objective of this study was to review the literature in relation to the psychological aspects involved in the expatriation process of athletes. For this purpose, searches were carried out in the Scielo, PubMed, SportDiscus, BVS, Embase and CAPES theses and dissertations databases, with words specific to each base, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Studies that included performance athletes and investigated the process of international migration in sport were included and review studies and studies with students, student athletes and coaches were excluded. After careful screening, carried out by means of the bibliographic reference manager program, the EndNote® software, eight studies eligible for analysis were selected and stored using the temporal model of cultural transition. Thus, the results obtained illustrated that, among athletes, it is not a common practice to search for previous information about the host country and / or the sports context to which they will be inserted. In relation to the process of acute cultural adaptation, it became evident that the main strategy used is linked to basic psychological needs, in addition to language learning, were fundamental in promoting the feeling of belonging to culture and, consequently, the development of sociocultural adaptation. Therefore, it is concluded that investigating the psychological aspects involved in the international migration of athletes, offering the psychological preparation to face the challenges pertinent to cultural adaptation, will probably contribute to a better understanding in the choices of strategies to be used in this process, as well as can determining the success of the migration. Atletas de modalidades esportivas migram ao longo de suas carreiras para outros países em busca de diferentes objetivos, dentre os quais alcançar melhor desempenho e status sociais e financeiro. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a literatura em relação aos aspectos psicológicos envolvidos no processo de expatriação de atletas. Para tanto, foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados Scielo, PubMed, SportDiscus, BVS, Embase e Banco de teses e dissertações da CAPES, com vocábulos próprios de cada base, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Foram incluídos estudos que contemplassem atletas de rendimento e investigassem o processo de migração internacional no esporte, além de excluídos os estudos de revisão e estudos realizados com estudantes, atletas estudantes e técnicos. Após criteriosa triagem, realizada por meio do programa gerenciador de referências bibliográficas, o software EndNote®, foram selecionados e armazenados oito estudos elegíveis para análise, utilizando o modelo temporal de transição cultural. Assim, os resultados obtidos ilustraram que, entre os atletas, não é uma prática comum a busca por informações prévias sobre o país hospedeiro e/ou o contexto esportivo em que serão inseridos. Já, em relação ao processo de adaptação cultural aguda, evidenciou-se que a principal estratégia utilizada, ligada às necessidades psicológicas básicas, somada ao aprendizado do idioma, foram fundamentais na promoção da sensação de pertencimento à cultura e, consequentemente, o desenvolvimento da adaptação sociocultural. Diante disso, conclui-se que investigar os aspectos psicológicos envolvidos na migração internacional de atletas, oferecendo o preparo psicológico para enfrentar os desafios pertinentes à adaptação cultural, provavelmente contribuirão para o melhor entendimento nas escolhas das estratégias a serem utilizadas nesse processo, bem como podem ser determinantes para o sucesso da migração.

"Sport Mont 2023, 21(1), 9-15 | DOI: 10.26773/smj.230202 Abstract The military parachutists are responsible of special air operations who require certain capabilities in their physical condition, due to their intense professional career. The analysis of oxygen con-sumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) allows the determination of aerobic (VT1) and anaerobic (VT2) thresholds and used to study the adequacy of the organism to exercise and in the analysis of sporting performance. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of tactical equipment on the stress test performance of elite parachutists. 10 parachutists parti-cipated in the study, between 22 and 36 years old with an average of 27.75 years (±4.20). Anthropometric values were determined of: weight 75.69 kg (±8.79), height 173.34 cm (±5.72) and body mass index (BMI) 25.23 (±2.98). Each one, performed 2 maximal treadmill exercise testing: one a conventional stress test (A) and another with the tactical equipment (weight 20 kg) (B). We obtained maximum oxygen consumption (Metalyzer 3B) and monitored the electrocardiogram continuously. The test started at a speed of 6km/h and a slope of 1%. The results of the two test were compared. The average value and standard deviation (SD) of different variables with equipment (B) and without it (A) and p-value were obtained: velocity (A: 14.80±3.29; B: 11.50±1.42 Km/h; p=0.073), HR (A: 182.7±58.62; B: 177.75±9.71 b/m; p=0.038), VO2 (A: 51.75±13.60; B: 54.00±30.82 ml/Kg/min; p=0.891). Al-so, the values of ventilatory thresholds: VT1 and VT2 of both tests were obtained, with sig-nificant differences. Tactical equipment causes a decrease in stress test performance with changes in VT1 and VT2.

The military parachutists are responsible of special air operations who require certain capabilities in their physical condition, due to their intense professional career. The analysis of oxygen con-sumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) allows the determination of aerobic (VT1) and anaerobic (VT2) thresholds and used to study the adequacy of the organism to exercise and in the analysis of sporting performance. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of tactical equipment on the stress test performance of elite parachutists. 10 parachutists parti-cipated in the study, between 22 and 36 years old with an average of 27.75 years (±4.20). Anthropometric values were determined of: weight 75.69 kg (±8.79), height 173.34 cm (±5.72) and body mass index (BMI) 25.23 (±2.98). Each one, performed 2 maximal treadmill exercise testing: one a conventional stress test (A) and another with the tactical equipment (weight 20 kg) (B). We obtained maximum oxygen consumption (Metalyzer 3B) and monitored the electrocardiogram continuously. The test started at a speed of 6km/h and a slope of 1%. The results of the two test were compared. The average value and standard deviation (SD) of different variables with equipment (B) and without it (A) and p-value were obtained: velocity (A: 14.80±3.29; B: 11.50±1.42 Km/h; p=0.073), HR (A: 182.7±58.62; B: 177.75±9.71 b/m; p=0.038), VO2 (A: 51.75±13.60; B: 54.00±30.82 ml/Kg/min; p=0.891). Al-so, the values of ventilatory thresholds: VT1 and VT2 of both tests were obtained, with sig-nificant differences. Tactical equipment causes a decrease in stress test performance with changes in VT1 and VT2.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the construction of esports careers for French esports players, emphasizing gender-based socialization. We used an online questionnaire administered to both men and women recreational and amateur esports players ( n = 343) to understand and identify potential barriers or levers to participation by men and women, especially for the stage of “Commitment” which is embodied in participation in esports competitions. The theoretical approach centred around the concept of career is mobilized to sequence the careers of men and women esports players and identify the differences between men and women within the different stages of an “esports career.” Key findings reveal that male figures often introduce players to video games, with men generally experiencing more “autonomous” and diversified” initiations than women. They also lag behind men players in terms of years of experience, and they face negative criticism from their peers, impeding their “commitment.” These insights underline the barriers women face at the onset of their esports careers and call for further research into social mechanisms to enhance women's inclusion in esports.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the experiences of retired esports players, focusing particularly on their transition out of esports. Utilizing a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with four retired professional esports players in South Korea. A thematic analysis revealed four recurring themes: career pressure and uncertainty, lack of preretirement planning, demand for mentorship support, and necessity for a realistic perspective on talent. The findings indicated that significant pressure and financial insecurity during their careers often catalyzed the players’ decisions to retire. Players were unprepared for postesports life due to inadequate preretirement planning. This study highlights the crucial roles of mentorship and realistic talent assessments in facilitating smoother career transitions. The main contribution of this research lies in its empirical evidence, which stresses the need for structured support systems for esports players transitioning out of professional gaming. Stakeholders within the esports industry can utilize these findings to formulate policies and programs aimed at providing financial assistance, career planning, mentorship, and guidance to players during their careers and upon retirement. The outcomes of this study can serve as a foundation for future research by clarifying the necessity for broader investigations into the experiences of esports players and the development of practical strategies to mitigate their transition challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Esports is a rapidly growing industry and related information garners the attention of audiences both inside and outside the arena. The electronic competition system has become more structured over time and there are now standard off-seasons, which coincide tightly with an intensive period of player transfers. However, at the same time, the off-season has few events to cover and transfer information is highly confidential, so any insights regarding possible transfers are of deep interest to audiences. As a result, unofficial esports insiders often leak transfer information. To explore this phenomenon in greater depth, the methodology used in this study was based on the content analysis of information relating to 10-years in the life of the esport Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). Data was collected from the Perfect World Esports APP and the HLTV websites to analyze the informants and the development of transfer information and its influence. It was found that, during the off-season, insider transfer revelations became the primary focus of content in the esports media sector. As the number of viewers participating in discussions about potential transfers has grown, esports tipsters have discovered a new career path within the industry. A comprehensive assessment of the audience and professional practitioners reveals the essential qualities that esports insiders should possess to excel in this field and for their careers to develop.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the rapid growth of the eSports industry with respect to its economic scale and the demand for eSports players, the career transformation experiences and well-being of eSports athletes have been largely overlooked. This study aims to explore eSports athletes’ personal development in terms of career continuity, associated skill transformation, and well-being after retirement. Employing non-participatory observations and semi-structured interviews, we unpack two different pedagogical contexts of retiring eSports athletes: one is “continuity paths” (three transformation options and associated skill sets), and the other is “desire for continuity” (psychological strengths and explicit tacit knowledge). Our findings provide practical guidance for the career transition experiences of eSports athletes and contribute to understanding the sustainable framework required for the self-development of talent within eSports education and the eSports industry. The findings suggest that psychological consultants and athletic rehabilitation therapists should be employed to provide professional advice, interventions, and treatment to eSports athletes before and after retirement.

Full textAbstract:
The research selected responses from Generation Z users on a Chinese question-and-answer website Zhihu, regarding the question ‘My younger brother wants to quit high school to pursue a career as an esports player, should I support him?’ as the primary research data. Utilizing the Social Cognitive Career Theory, the study delved into Generation Z's perspectives on abandoning academic pursuits to become professional esports players, from the aspects of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and personal goals as a reflection of Generation Z's career outlook. Generation Z generally finds esports players extremely attractive, but fierce competition, uncertainty about career prospects, and pressure from societal perceptions and family expectations form a challenging career choice. Most Generation Z believe minors should remain rational, but a few Generation Z still think it's okay to give it a try. The study found that Generation Z's view of careers is a combination of romanticism and pragmatism; they cannot completely escape from considerations of career stability and social expectations, but they also value the pursuit of personal interests and the fulfilment of their passions. This duality reflects the inherent contradictions and struggles of Generation Z when confronted with traditional career concepts and modern values. This contradiction is particularly prominent in an emerging and uncertain field such as esports. This study provides profound insights into the underlying motivations of Generation Z's career choices and offers valuable implications for the evolution of societal norms and reforms in employment systems in the future.

Full textAbstract:
In China, the expanding eSports culture has produced a vast cohort of video-game players whose peak age ranges between 16 and 22 years. This study explores the dynamic identity transformation and mental wellbeing development processes of eSports professionals in a risk-prone society. It comprises in-depth interviews with players, coaches, managers, and commentators working in 15 top eSports clubs in the Chinese cities of Shanghai, Guangzhou, Suzhou, and Chengdu. We find eSports is perceived as non-secure, casual, and irregular by the Chinese public and that the mental changes experienced by eSports professionals throughout their careers have been significantly influenced by a more sophisticated form of state power and social norms, including cultural cognitive beliefs, economic stimulation, and authority attributions.

Full textAbstract:
Esports is a growing phenomenon that is capturing the attention of individuals worldwide, and has grown to provide professional and lucrative careers for those who reach the upper echelons. One question that arises, is how esports athletes develop the necessary skills required to improve and compete. This perspective piece opens the door to skill acquisition within esports and how research through an ecological approach can benefit researchers and practitioners as they understand the various perception-action couplings and decision-making challenges faced by esports athletes. We will identify and discuss what constraints look like in esports, the role of affordances, and theorize the implementation of a constraints-led approach in contrasting esports genres. As esports is technology-heavy in nature and generally sedentary, the use of eye-tracking technology is argued to represent an effective method to better understand perceptual attunement between individuals and teams. Future research into skill acquisition in esports is needed to develop a clearer picture of what makes the greatest esports player so great, and how newer players can be developed effectively.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the challenges experienced by female athletes in esports. Esports is categorized as a male-dominated sport. Since most of the players are male, female athletes struggle to sustain their careers. A qualitative approach was used where ten women who were actively involved in esports were interviewed. The respondents selected through the purposive sampling method were active in esports, representing esports team/club, and involved in massively multiple online role-playing games (MMORPG). Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and presented descriptively and narratively. The findings indicated gender stereotyping women as not competitive at MMORPG, sexually explicit comments from male opponents, communication issues, especially with male players, and the perception that women are not suitable to play the extreme, aggressive and masculine type of online games. The game features are more significant to men compared to women, who are often associated with femininity. Indirectly, such impressions hamper the opportunity for women to be more active and progressive in esports.

Full textAbstract:
Women remain underrepresented across most roles in the esports industry, which has long been associated with gender-based harassment and toxicity. While research has tended to focus on the experiences of women in professional esports careers, the current study investigated the nature and impact of harassment and toxicity on amateur players. Through interviews with eight women experienced in esports participation, experiences and costs of gender-based exclusion were documented. Stereotyped roles were common, with women facing gender stereotypes of both ability and character appropriateness, as well as sexual objectification. The women reported resignation about systemic misogyny, juxtaposed with hope that specific industry-level changes could elicit improvements. While the women often avoided revealing their gender, there was a strong sense that visible role models and solidarity among the female community in esports can provide an effective protection against gender-based harassment, potentially combatting low rates of women participating in esports in the longer term.
