Abstract:

Recent research has shown athletic performance to be enhanced using non – invasive brain stimulation. One factor influencing an athlete’s performance is their perception of how hard an exercise task is, known as their rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Research has shown RPE to be modulated by fatigue. There is evidence to suggest that when fatigue occurs, there is reduced output from the primary motor cortex (M1) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to the muscles, which contributes to an increase in an athlete’s RPE. Therefore, using anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (A-tDCS) to increase cortical excitability could prolong the development of fatigue, and accordingly reduce RPE. If less effort is needed to perform the physical activity, then heart rate (HR) will decrease and performance will be enhanced. To test whether A-tDCS can enhance athletic performance and reduce RPE and HR, 10 athletic cyclists volunteered to complete four sessions. The first session was a Graded Exercise Test, and sessions two —four involved A-tDCS administered at one cortical site (M1, DLPFC, or Visual Cortex [control stimulation]) before participants completed a warm up, followed by a 16.1km Time Trial (TT). In each TT, HR, RPE, power output (PO), and time to complete the TT were recorded. Results showed no significant differences in RPE, HR, PO, or time to complete the TT between cortical sites. This study suggests that A-tDCS was unable modulate fatigue, and consequently, athletic performance, RPE, and HR remained unaffected. Reasons behind these findings are discussed, with suggestions for future research.

Abstract:

As less than 3 % of student-athletes go on to play sport professionally, it is important that they are prepared for careers outside of athletics (Susanj & Stewart, 2005). Many football student-athletes have low grade point averages and graduation rates. Universities incorporate academic motivational programs to help combat low academic performance. One unique program, Scholar-Baller, utilizes popular culture within its curriculum to bridge the gap between academics and athletics. This dissertation examined the differences between Scholar-Baller and Non Scholar-Baller Division I football student-athletes' motivation (academic, athletic, intrinsic) and athletic identity using expectancy-value theory and self-affirmation theory as its framework. In addition, the effect of race/ethnicity (African-American, White American and Other race/ethnicity) and Scholar-Baller participation on Division I football student-athletes' motivation (academic, athletic, intrinsic) and athletic identity was examined. Expectancy-value theory defines motivation as both the expectation of the student's belief about the final outcome of a task, and the values the student gives to the task. A student either has a positive, negative, or neutral expectation of the completed task's outcome (Williams, Anderson & Winett, 2005; Xiang, McBRide & Bruene, 2006). This framework allows for exploration of student athletes' academic expectations and values. Self-affirmation theory explains that when students focus on important identities and values, they can become less defensive towards threatening information. Therefore, when receiving negative academic feedback, student-athletes using self-affirmation techniques may be more confident, open-minded and receptive towards the threatening information. Three instruments were used to collect data. The Student-athletes' Motivation toward Sports and Academics Questionnaire SAMSAQ) was used to assess academic and athletic motivation, while the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was used to assess intrinsic motivation towards academics. Lastly, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) was used to investigate athletic identity. Four universities (two Scholar-Baller and two Non Scholar-Baller) were chosen for their similar academic and athletic performance. Using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences: Graduate Pack 16 for Windows, a Multiple Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) were run to determine if significant differences exist between the Scholar-Baller and Non Scholar-Baller football student-athletes' academic, athletic, intrinsic motivation and athletic identity. These tests revealed that Scholar-Baller football student-athletes had significantly lower academic and athletic motivation than Non Scholar-Baller football student-athletes. Having low academic expectations and little value for academics is consistent with student-athlete subculture. However, these findings were in contrast to what was expected. In addition, Scholar-Baller football student-athletes had significantly higher athletic identity than Non Scholar-Baller football student-athletes.This finding is also consistent with the literature on student-athletes. As student-athletes must be motivated athletically to perform at intercollegiate sports, it is not surprising to find high athletic identity among the Scholar-Baller football student-athletes. In fact, studies have suggested that high athletic identity correlates with high academic performance (Harrison, Stone, Shapiro, Yee, Boyd & Rullan, 2009; Sellers, Chavous & Brown, 2001). One Scholar-Baller university in this study reported higher grade point averages since the inception of the Scholar-Baller program (2.37 in Fall 2004 to 2.68 in Spring 2006). Scholar-Baller curriculum utilizes self-affirmation exercises to affirm student- athletes athletically and influence more acceptance of academic criticism. Scholar-Baller football student-athletes are more affirmed in their athletic role which may lead to academic success. This dissertation also investigated differences between Scholar-Baller and Non Scholar-Baller football student-athletes' academic, athletic, intrinsic motivation and athletic identity in relation to race/ethnicity. Three groups, comprised of African-American, White American and Other race/ethnicity, were used to compare Scholar-Baller and Non Scholar-Baller football student-athletes. No significant differences were found. However, it was noted that Scholar-Baller African-American football student-athletes had higher academic, athletic and intrinsic motivation than Scholar-Baller White American football student-athletes. This finding is surprising given the previous research indicating African-American student-athletes' low academic motivation. As this dissertation investigated only differences between Scholar-Baller and Non Scholar football student-athletes' motivation and identity, further research needs to be done to further explicate these differences. Also, athletic identity should be further investigated among football student-athletes to determine its role in academic performance. Furthermore, given this study's findings of higher academic and athletic motivation among African-American Scholar-Baller football student-athletes, and its contrast to previous research, further studies should be performed to further explicate these differences among race/ethnicity. Qualitative research involving in-depth interviews and longitudinal studies investigating motivation and athletic identity over time should be performed.

Abstract:

Physical and chemical properties of non-composted spent coffee (CF) and tea (T) suggest they may have applications as soil amendments for improving poor soils. Studies were conducted to determine 1) the effect of amendments on grass growth and soil properties, 2) the effect of incorporation versus surface application of amendments on soil properties, and 3) the effect of amendment application frequency on grass growth and soil properties. In the first study, amendments were mixed with sand and planted to bermudagrass. Treatments included CF, T, and peat moss (PM) mixed with sand, and 100% sand as a control. In the second study, amendments were topdressed onto a sand base with different timings. Pots were either aerified or not. Treatments included T, CF, PM, and a control. Nutrient contents and soil CEC and OM under CF and T treatments were equivalent to or greater than PM treatments. Tea showed comparable grass cover to the PM treatment, while CF showed an inhibitory effect to grass growth in the first year of the study. Aerification showed no benefit. Additionally, a field study was conducted to evaluate CF and T on surface hardness, VWC, and quality after trafficking. Differences were not observed among treatments.

Abstract:

This study attempted to identify the issues confronting athletic directors at the NCAA Division I FBS membership institutions from the following athletic conferences: American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Mid American Conference, Mountain West Conference, and Sun Belt Conference. These conferences are considered to be non-BCS automatic qualifying conferences. Since the literature showed a lack of research on most of the issues that impact the university athletic director, this research attempted to present an enhanced perspective of the issues that the athletic director must confront in his or her career and daily life. The researcher utilized an explanatory sequential mixed methods research design to identify and explore the issues. Twenty-two of sixty-one athletic directors responded to a thirteen item electronic survey. Follow-up interviews were administered to six of the athletic directors who indicated a willingness to participate. Athletic directors identified fundraising, managing the budget and finance issues, and student-athlete welfare as the top three issues affecting his or her career. Athletic directors identified the following as those issues that consumed most of their time: fundraising, managing his or her department's budget, and staying current on NCAA regulations. Athletic directors identified the following as their most stressful issues: fundraising, budget, decision making, personnel, the pending autonomy of the high resource conferences, and general uncertainty. Warning signs identified by the athletic directors included: national lawsuits, declining attendance (both alumni/fans and students) at sporting events, and decreasing state support. In addition, individual athletic directors identified the following issues that may impact the future: negative impact on the United States Olympic movement due to significantly increased emphasis on football and men's basketball, impact of non-practioner perspective in governance of collegiate athletics, and possible significant change in the definition of amateurism.

Sveikata priklauso nuo gyvensenos veiksnių, gyvenimo būdo, kuris įtakoja mūsų sveikatą. Norėdami džiaugtis gera sveikata, pirmiausia turime patys pradėti analizuoti savo gyvenimo būdą, pradedant nuo mitybos, žalingų įproči�� mažinimo, fizinio pasyvumo keitimą į fizinį aktyvumą, stresinių situacijų vengimo. Tyrimo objektas: gyvensena. Tyrimo tikslas: Nustatyti sportuojančių ir nesportuojančių suaugusiųjų gyvensenos ypatumus ir sveikatos būklę. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1. Nustatyti nesportuojančių žmonių gyvensenos ypatumus ir subjektyvų sveikatos vertinimą 2. Nustatyti sportuojančių žmonių gyvensenos ypatumus ir subjektyvų sveikatos vertinimą 3. Palyginti sportuojančių ir nesportuojančių žmonių gyvensenos ypatumus ir sveikatos būklę Tyrimas buvo atliktas 2006 – 2007 metais. Anketinės apklausos metodu buvo tiriamas žmonių požiūris į sveiką gyvenseną. Siekiant išsiaiškinti tiriamųjų požiūrį į fizinį aktyvumą, mitybą, žalingus įpročius, stresą buvo pateikta anketa, kurią sudarė 36 klausimai.Tyrime dalyvavo 273 žmonės, iš jų 100 vyrų, 173 moterys. Tiriamieji buvo suskirstyti į dvi grupes, sportuojančius (n=145), kurie sportavo sporto klube „Fankas“ ir nesportuojančius (n=128). Sportuojantys sportavo nuo 1 iki 3 kartų per savaitę, po daugiau nei valandą laiko. Iškėlėme hipotezę: manome, kad sportuojantys turės mažiau žalingų įpročių ir mažiau sveikatos sutrikimų lyginant su nesportuojančiais.

Abstract:

Introduction: There have been few well controlled altitude and hypoxic training studies to date. This thesis investigated the effects of altitude and (sham controlled) intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) on exercise capacity, and the associated physiological adaptations. Methods: Chapter 3 investigated how living and training at 2320 m or at sea level affected total haemoglobin mass (tHb) and race performance in highly trained swimmers. Chapter 4 investigated how IHT or normoxic training affected cardiopulmonary variables and the incremental exercise limit of tolerance (T-Lim), in highly trained runners. Chapter 5 investigated how single-legged IHT or normoxic training affected phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy assessed muscle energetics. Results: In Chapter 3, tHb increased significantly more after altitude (+0.6 ± 0.4 g•kg-1, or +4.4 ± 3.2%) than after sea level (+0.03 ± 0.1 g•kg-1, or +0.3 ± 1.0%), but the changes in swimming performances were not different between groups, and there were no correlations between tHb and performance changes. In Chapter 4, submaximal heart rate in normoxia decreased significantly more after IHT than after normoxic training (-5 ± 5 vs. -1 ± 5 b∙min-1), and submaximal "V" ̇O2 in hypoxia significantly decreased, only after IHT. T-Lim in hypoxia significantly increased post-IHT, but there were no between group differences. In Chapter 5, the phosphocreatine recovery time constant was speeded significantly more in the IHT compared to the normoxic trained leg, when tested in hypoxia (-25 ± 8% vs. -13 ± 6%), but not in normoxia (-16 ± 15% vs. -9 ± 10%). Conclusions: Altitude training likely increases tHb, but this is not necessarily associated with improved athletic performance. IHT may induce other non-haematological adaptations; potentially an enhanced skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, but evidence for exercise capacity gains is lacking. The precise underlying causes for these adaptations require further investigation, as does any translation to athletic performance.

Abstract:

College students between the ages of 18 and 24 are considered high-risk for alcohol-related negative consequences due to drinking at high-risk levels (Barry, Howell & Salaga, 2015). Within that population, varsity student athletes are considered at even greater risk for those issues (Druckman, 2015; Wechsler, 2002). With football and men’s basketball being considered the only revenue-generating NCAA Division I sports, non-revenue-generating sports consist of the majority of student athletes (NCAA, 2016). This study is designed to examine high-risk drinking as well as alcohol-related consequences among non-revenue-generating student athletes attending a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I school. The sample population for this study attends a large, Power 5 Conference, NCAA Division I institution located in the United States. Of the sample, there are 228 respondents representing the majority of non-revenue-generating sports and nearly 68% of the total population of student athletes who participated in non-revenue-generating sports. Utilizing the Athletic Identification Measurement Scale (AIMS), the Identification of Psychological Group scale (IDPG), and the Harvard College Alcohol Study (Wechsler, 2002), this study identifies factors that may associate with high-risk drinking and alcohol-related consequences set within the framework of the Social Ecological Model of Prevention (Brewer Van Raalte & Linder, 1993). Through descriptive statistics and basic correlation methods, the study examines the role of factors in four of the five levels of the Social Ecological Model of Prevention (individual, relationship, organizational, and community—public policy is not used for this study) as compared to high-risk drinking and alcohol-related negative consequences. The findings of this study indicate that this population experiences negative consequences in greater volume than respondents to the College Alcohol Study (Wecshler, 2002) and the NCAA Alcohol Study (2014), which may imply that non-revenue-generating student athletes are at a higher risk than revenue-generating athletes. Additionally, teams with the most dissonance regarding the team alcohol policy are more likely to experience alcohol-related negative consequences. Teams that are consistent in their understanding of the team alcohol policy experience fewer alcohol-related negative consequences, regardless of the overall levels of high-risk drinking.

Purpose：Comparing difference of foot structure between students at same school age but with different level of physical activity intensity. Methods: Healthy junior high school, senior high school, and college students were included and classified into athletic class students group and non-athletic class students group. Harris Mat foot print measure device were used to collect subject’s foot print and Arch index(AI) is used to classify foot arch. Hallux valgus angle was measured by a goniometer. Physical activities level was measured by International Physical Activities Questionare (IPAQ). All data were analyzed by two-ways analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Statistically difference were noted between athletic class students and non-athletic class students. Athletic students have higher physical activities level, arch index and hallux valgus angle. Conclusions: The result of this study showed that athletic class students have lower foot arch and larger halluxs valgus angle comparing to non-athletic students. The result implies that students could have long term foot structural change under high intensity of physical activity.

The single sports association is an indispensable corner for countries to promote sports, promote participation and develop competitive sports. Among these non-profit sports organizations, there are abundant human resources. Through the establishment of the network, sharing information and creating social capital. Especially for China's limited diplomatic situation, these non-profit individual sports associations have become the only window for China's external integration. Only through the exchange of these individual sports associations can we have the opportunity to break through diplomatic restrictions and conduct international exchanges. As non-profit sports organizations are engaged in the promotion of sports services , they play a very important role, and the people's participation in sports is greatly enhanced , and the participation mode of the people is fully changed. After the revision of the National Sports Law, it changed the business model of the association. After the establishment of Taekwondo related associations, the Republic of China Taekwondo Sports Athletic Association has developed a unique business model in the face of fierce competition to create a sustainable competitive advantage, which is a key success factor. 　　This study takes the Republic of China Taekwondo Sports Athletic Association as the research object and adopts a qualitative case study method. And to Osterwalder and Pigneur proposed business model canvas (Business Model Canvas) as the theoretical basis, from the value proposition, distribution channels, customer relations, customer segmentation, key activities, key partners, key resources, cost structure, revenue models and other nine The outline of the interview was drawn up, and the business model of the Taekwondo Sports Athletic Association of the Republic of China was actually explored .

The main issue of the present study was to investigate the difference in information processing capacity between athletes practicing a strategic sport (i.e., soccer) and non-athletes by comparing behavior and workload capacity. Further, event-related potentials (ERPs) was employed to explore the potential neural mechanisms. Twenty-seven soccer players were recruited in the athletic group and 26 undergraduate and graduate students who reported no historical specialization in any sports were recruited in the control group. Behavioral and electroencephalographic (EEG) data were recorded simultaneously while participants performing a double-dot redundant-target task which allows the measure of visuo-spatial attention. Systems factorial technology (SFT) was employed to evaluate workload capacity performance. The results demonstrated that soccer players showed faster response time than the control group but no significant difference in workload capacity seen between the two groups. In terms of ERPs, results revealed a significant shorter N1 latency for the soccer players compared to the controls, while such effect was not observed for N1 amplitude. In conclusion, athletes practicing strategic sports such as soccer players may have superior processing speed. However, such cognitive superiority might not be associated with workload capacity in this case. Furthermore, the greater processing speed seen in soccer players may be explained by more rapid processing of visuo-spatial information.

Abstract This research focuses on a story of the only one non-athletic direct admission student, who was selected in the 9th Taiwan Super Basketball League draft (SBL), presents the life story of the subject by way of narrative inquiry, and investigates the faith and the values of the subject basing on Kantian aesthetics–pleasure without any interest, subjective universality, purposiveness without any purpose. This research, presents the story of the subject objectively by interview and the self-diary on the Internet of subject. After we use the four moments of Kant’s aesthetics to research the story of investing subject, we found that if someone play basketball with pleasure without any interest then he is satisfied by pleasure of the beautiful, not pleasure of body or mind. And according to the moment of subjective universality, stories could move everyone else just because its same form—“in order to do your favorite things, you must fight against the frustration constantly and clarify the value in it ”. The third moment, purposiveness without any purpose, indicates that player could play basketball without any useful or utilitarian ends. And the fourth moments, subjective necessity, could awake people to think about what they could do, instead of what they should. It means “commend sense”. Finally, we found that the subject could keep his strong motivation just because of his original faith and the aesthetic value. Those are “pure pleasure”, “pure love” and “pure move”.

Abstract:

Background: Career ending injuries are known to cause negative psychosocial and behavioural outcomes in retired athletes. However, there has been a limited amount of quantitative studies to complement mostly qualitative research. Furthermore, qualitative studies have typically assessed the effects of athletic identity, mental health/mood disturbances, loss, coping mechanisms and social support with minimal research regarding physical body transitions and body-esteem throughout the retirement process. Thus, the purpose of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between affective, behavioural, and cognitive outcomes and athletic retirement (voluntary, involuntary) among elite and competitive athletes. Method: A retrospective mixed method (questionnaire and interview) study was utilized to examine how participants interpreted their experience during the transitional process into retirement. Inclusion criteria consisted of male and female, elite and competitive athletes who have voluntarily or involuntarily (career ending injury) retired, ages 18 and above. Exclusion criteria included non-athletes/recreational athletes, athletes who were able to return to play or retired due to illness, health problems or deselection as well as who were less than 18 years of age. Posters were advertised in sports clubs, fitness centers, sports centers, physiotherapy offices and universities as well as on social media (Facebook and Instagram). The main outcome measures are as follows:1) Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS); 2) Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ), 3) Mental Health and 4) COPE Inventory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from both retirement (voluntary and involuntary) groups. All interviews (telephone, zoom) were recorded, transcribed verbatim and a thematic analysis was implemented to further determine the various themes and subthemes. An independent t-test explored the impacts of body dimensions and coping mechanisms on retirement type. Then a factorial ANOVA was conducted to examine the effects of the dependent variables (mental health, mood disturbances and coping mechanisms) on the main analysis (retirement) and the exploratory (strength of athletic identity) analysis. Results: 50 (26 involuntary and 24 voluntary) questionnaires and eight (four voluntary and four involuntary) interviews were completed by the participants. Results from the quantitative data revealed a borderline main effect of retirement type on both mental health and mood disturbances. An exploratory analysis found retirees who weakly identified with the athletic role were less likely to experience severe mood disturbances and demonstrated higher levels of mental health than retirees who strongly identified with the athletic role. Information from qualitative data suggested participants who involuntarily retired and possessed a strong athletic identity experienced higher levels of mood disturbances (depression, frustrations, loss etc.), lower levels of mental health, identity loss, physical discomfort, negative effects of mind and body dualism as well as utilized maladaptive coping techniques than their counterpart who voluntarily retired or weakly identified with the athletic role. Conclusion: Both retirement types are subjected to various athletic and non-athletic demands and psychosocial effects of athletic retirement however, what sets them apart from experiencing a successful or unsuccessful transition into retirement is the intensity and severity of their emotional reaction to their retirement. Limitations of said study included a decrease in sample size, memory recall bias, the participant’s own bias, limited diversity of the sample population as well as the inability to verify the findings from the interviews. The following study can be implemented to aid researchers, retired or soon to be retired athletes, coaches and athletic personnel to comprehend the diverse areas of athletic retirement. Future research should aim to investigate the impacts of mood disorders, the utilization of psychologist or mental performance consultant during the retirement process as well as the effects of body dimensions in retired athletes. Lastly, a longitudinal study should be employed to examine the athlete’s emotional response and reaction throughout retirement (time of injury, during physiotherapy, post- surgery and recovery).
