(Re)konstruowanie własnej (nie)pełnosprawności – przemiany w sposobie percypowania siebie osoby z dysfunkcjami ciała uprawiającej sport

Author(s): Jakub Niedbalski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2018

The article is intended to analyze reconstruction of an image related to two categories of disabled persons: those physically active and passive. On the one hand, I focus on the way, which the disable individuals perceive their own situation in, considering their status as persons who practice or do not practice sport. On the other, I attempt to determine how the said individuals reconstruct their image subject to assessment by others, depending on whether they are physically active or passive. For that purpose, I make references to the disabled individuals’ opinions on their own (subjective self), and their evaluation of how they are seen by the fully capable persons (reflected self). In other words, it is confrontation of an image of physically active and passive persons with opinions and feelings experienced directly by the respondents, with their image arising from other people’s opinions.

Author(s): Ali Isin,Çaghan Bugra Ödül Özus,Tugba Melekoglu / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 1/2018

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of hand dimension on handgrip strength in adolescents aged 13-14 years who do or not play sports. A total of 56 adolescents (28 athletes and 28 non-athletes) aged between 13-14 years volunteered to participate in this study. Body length (cm), body weight (kg), body mass index (kg / m2), handgrip strength and hand dimension were measured. Hand dimension, lenght and handgrip measurements were taken from the dominant hand of the volunteers SPSS v.24 program was used to evaluate the normality distributions of the data, the level of difference between the groups and the relation between them. As a result of this study, it was found that the handgrip strengths of the athletes were significantly higher than the non-athletes (p <0,01). However, there were no significant differences between the hand dimensions of the athletes compared to the non-athletes. When the relationship between the hand dimension and the strenght parameters is examined in adolescents, it is seen that as the hand length, the hand area and the hand circumference increase, strenght values also increase. There was a correlation between hand dimensions and handgrip strength values (p <0.001).

Author(s): Martynas Cižas,Kazys Milašius / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 2/2017

There is little information in literary sources about the program’s content of formation of primary swimming skills, the choice of exercises on land and water as well as the common effectiveness of their compilation program relating to 6–7 year-old children. This question is hardly analyzed even in various papers analyzing primary training of young swimmers in Lithuania. Hypothesis: it is likely that children who will complete the primary teaching swimming program which consists of 16 trainings will acquire such primary swimming skills that will be needed for learning their further swimming techniques as well as they will become physically stronger. The aim of the work: to prepare 6–7 year-old children teaching swimming program consisting of 16 trainings by developing their primary swimming skills and evaluate its effectiveness.

Author(s): Reza Behdari,Erdal Zorba,Mehmet Göktepe,Metin Bayram / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 1/2016

The aims of this study were to describe the anthropometric characteristics, body composition and somatotype of top-level male table tennis players, to compare the first 12 top-level table tennis players with the lower ranked players, and to establish profile chart for total of 112 top-level table tennis players. A total of 112 top-level table tennis players, aged between 9 and 12 years participated in this study. The athletes were divided into three groups, the first 12 (Group A, n=12) and the lower ranked players (Group B, n=47) and (Group C, n=53). In the analysis and comment of the data, One Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) Test were used. There were no significant differences in anthropometric characteristics, body composition and somatotype among the groups. A mesomorph – endomorph somatotype was registered for total of 112 top-level table tennis players. But analysis, taking into account, revealed a balanced ectomorph somatotype for the first 12 players, and a mesomorph - ectomorph somatotype for B group and a mesomorph - endomorph somatotype for C group. Although the influence of anthropometric characteristics on table tennis performance is not clear yet, it seems obvious that a mesomorph - ectomorph predominance can play a decisive role in any sport, On the other hand, high levels of body fat could have a negative effect on sport performance. Regarding to somatotype assessment, balanced ectomorph was the most important component in the first 12 players. In the present study, a greater body fat mass were observed lower ranked players than first 12 players.

A discourse approach to conceptual metaphors: a corpus-based analysis of sports discourse in croatian

Author(s): Daniela Katunar,Ida Raffaelli / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

This paper deals with the analysis of sports discourse in Croatian through the theoretical framework offered by conceptual metaphor theory. Within this framework, certain metaphorical expressions found in sports discourse are analyzed as expressions of two conceptual metaphors: sport is war and sport is force. The analysis of these metaphorical expressions combines the methodology of cognitive linguistics with corpus linguistics, resulting in the proposal of a new method for discourse analysis in general. In our research, we introduce the notion of the specialized digitized corpus as a basis for further quantitative and qualitative research. On the basis of the specialized digitized corpus created for the purposes of this research, it is shown how the formation of sports discourse is dependent on three categories of metaphorical expressions relative to the degree of their conventionalization within sports discourse: (a) conventionalized, (b) semi-conventionalized, and (c) innovative metaphorical expressions. Each of these categories is analyzed according to their frequency and various aspects of meaning that it entails. Through the introduction of the semi-conventionalized metaphorical expression category, we aim to examine the gradable line between language creativity and conventionality as it is formed within the discourse of sports.

A kezdet és a csúcs

Author(s): Tamás Vitray / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 06/2012

The author, who is one of the most prominent Hungarian sports commentators, reminisces about the humble beginnings of sports broadcasting in his country, the differences between television and radio sports broadcasting styles, and the characteristic of black-and-white TV broadcasts. According to his opinion, and contrary to the popular belief of the fans, sports events broadcasted by television can be at least just as enjoyable to watch as the actual event. The role of the commentator has also changed in time because of new information technologies which empower the viewer. The author’s personal history of sports broadcasting also contains an overview of his activity as a long-time TV commentator of the Olympic Games for the Hungarian-speaking public.

A közösségi és etnicizált csíki hokiról

Author(s): Nándor László Magyari,Lóránd Burista / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 02/2015

The empirical basis of the study is drawn from a series of interviews performed by the authors in 2012. The narratives along with several texts and articles from the media were defined using the framework and methodology of critical culture studies. The article begins by redifing the meaning of local hockey in Miercurea Ciuc/Csíkszereda/Szeklerburg, focusing on the reinterpretation of social history which surrounds hockey in the region. At the core of this understanding lies the ambition to bring forward the communal and ethnic nature of a „hockey culture” that has a strong tendency towards the traditional, harbors a persisting amateur spirit regarding its appearance and consolida¬tion in a socio-cultural and historical sense, and eventually to place it in a specific context. The study points out how local hockey (sub)culture lags behind in regards to current professional and modern¬ising tendencies, being rather embedded and influenced by strong and persisting local and regional, (neo)tradional mentalities. It’s important to note that the matter of focus here lies not on hockey per se nor on the subcultural aspects that surround it. Instead, the study sheds light and reveals the main role of hockey in Miercurea Ciuc/Csíkszereda/Szeklerburg, how it impacts the modeling of identities and preserves the community spirit altogether. We find how in sports various aspects of society are being revealed but this also goes vice versa, how sports become represented in society.

A Model for Eliciting Expert Knowledge into Sports-Specific Knowledge Management Systems

Author(s): Vlad ROSCA / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

Grounded on literature reviews from knowledge management, information system, marketing, organization science and sports management strategy, the paper proposes a way to build sports-specific knowledge management systems based on expert knowledge to improve strategic decision-making. Previous research showed sports teams had complex management systems, decisions needing to be made not only on sports-related knowledge. The hallmark of the study is that it emphasizes laying out the premises of knowledge acquisition, knowledge transfer, and knowledge sharing in sports, in order to discuss a model for helping teams to use wider expert knowledge in their management. Results show that team competitivity is strongly related to employing specialized knowledge.

A Multimodal Semantic Model for Event Identification on Sports Media Content

Author(s): Panagiotis-Marios Filippidis,Charalampos Dimoulas,Charalampos Bratsas,Andreas Veglis / Language(s): English / Issue: 14/2018

This paper presents a multimodal semantic event identification model of occurring events in sports games. Sport broadcasting programs and TV shows form a demanding media case, as journalists, experts and analysts tend to examine in detail their gameplay aspects and elements, trying to offer thorough analysis and deep insights to their large audience. Basketball serves as an exemplary case for developing an event identification model in sports media content, since it is full of small or bigger activities that take place throughout the game. In this work, a basketball event is defined as a series of player actions during a team possession in the game. The proposed method leverages and combines the information of various game sources as play-by-play and text reports. Given the current state of research, the current paper proposes multilevel event classification taxonomies that could be used in multimodal semantic processing and conceptualization approaches.

Author(s): Irina-Ana Drobot / Language(s): English / Issue: 14/2017

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the most recent running marathons in Bucharest to see whether they are part of a political agenda or not, and if yes, what are the reasons for this. Is this a way of allowing people to bond together, and to take part in charity? Is this part of the way media imposes its agenda on people, or vice-versa? Is it a way of political elites to control the masses and make them take part in welfare activities? The paper will take into account the hypothesis of sports and welfare holding communities together.

A study on the relationship between compulsive exercise, depression and anxiety

Author(s): Aviv Weinstein,Yitzhak Weinstein,Gavriel Maayan / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2015

Exercise and physical activity are beneficial both physically and psychologically but a few individuals use exercise excessively resulting in physical and even psychological damage. There is evidence for bidirectional relationship between exercise with depression and anxiety showing that exercise can reduce anxiety and depression, whereas a lack of exercise is associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression. Methods: This study used questionnaires assessing compulsive exercise, anxiety and depression among 20 professional regular exercisers and 51 recreational regular exercisers. Results: Results showed that ratings of compulsive exercise were associated with ratings of anxiety and depression among individuals who exercise for professional and recreational purpose. Secondly, individuals who exercise for professional purpose were more depressed than individuals who exercise for recreational purpose, but did not exhibit higher trait anxiety ratings. Thirdly, individuals who exercise for recreational purpose showed an association between ratings of compulsive exercise and depression but not with ratings of trait anxiety. Discussion: Individuals who exercise for professional and recreational purpose may use it as a means for alleviating depression and anxiety although this small sample of recreational and professional sportsmen showed clinical levels of anxiety and depression that may require further clinical treatment.
