Tutkimukset ovat pääsääntöisesti kohdistuneet tyttöihin ja naisiin. Ainoastaan muutamat tutkimukset ovat tarkastelleet urheilua ja liikuntaa harrastavien miesten kokemuksia seksuaalisesta häirinnästä. Harrasteliikunnan ja kilpaurheilun puolella sukupuoleen perustuvan ja seksuaalisen häirinnän tutkimus on Suomessa vasta alkutaipaleella. Sosiaalisessa mediassa urheilijoihin yhä enenevissä määrin kohdistuva virtuaalinen seksuaalinen häirintä on viime aikoina huolestuttanut tutkijoita.nonPeerReviewe

Tavoitteena oli selvittää, 1) kuinka joukkueurheilun tai ryhmäliikunnan parissa koettu sukupuoleen perustuva ja seksuaalinen häirintä olivat yhteydessä seksuaalivähemmistöön kuuluvien urheilijoiden ja liikunnan harrastajien stressinä, psykosomaattisina oireina ja masentuneisuutena ilmenevään henkiseen pahoinvointiin ja 2) erosivatko häirintäkokemukset sukupuolen ja seksuaalisen suuntautuneisuuden mukaan. Seksuaalivähemmistöön kuuluvien urheilijoiden ja liikunnan harrastajien sähköiseen kyselylomakkeeseen antamia vastauksia analysoin Spearmanin järjestyskorrelaatioiden, selitysasteiden, ristiintaulukoiden ja khiin neliö -testin avulla. Molemmilla sukupuolilla sanaton häirintä (väheksyvät katseet, seksuaalisesti latautuneet eleet, ilmeet, ääntely)ja sanallinen häirintä (seksuaalissävytteiset loukkaukset ja vähättely) olivat tilastollisesti merkitsevästi yhteydessä stressiin; sanaton häirintä korreloi tilastollisesti merkitsevästi myös psykosomaattisten oireiden kanssa ja vähättely masentuneisuuden kanssa. Lisäksi miesten kokema sanaton häirintä ja seksuaalissävytteiset loukkaukset olivat tilastollisesti merkitsevästi yhteydessä heidän masentuneisuuteensa. Fyysinen häirintä oli kytkeytynyt tilastollisesti merkitsevästi ainoastaan naisten psykosomaattisiin oireisiin. Miehet joutuivat joukkueessa tai muussa liikuntaryhmässä naisia useammin sanattomasti ja fyysisesti häirityiksi. Homoja oli sanallisesti häiritty muita seksuaalisia suuntauksia useammin ja vallitsevasti heteroita harvemmin. Yhteenvetona sanottakoon, että seksuaalivähemmistöissä miessukupuoli ja homoseksuaalisuus ovat joukkueurheilussa tai ryhmäliikunnassa tapahtuvan häirinnän riskitekijöitä ja että koettu häirintä on voimakkaammin yhteydessä miesten kuin naisten henkiseen pahoinvointiin.peerReviewe

Participants were 175 (females 122, males 53) Finnish PE teachers aged between 27 and 62 years. The findings showed that 1) higher perceived physical violence was positively associated with higher perceived non-verbal sexual harassment and work-related stress; 2) teachers with a sport science degree perceived higher work-related stress mediated by physical violence than other teachers; 3) longer-serving PE teachers reported lower verbal sexual harassment than teachers with less teaching experience; and 4) female PE teachers reported higher work-related stress than male teachers. These results indicated that violence against PE teachers is multidimensional. To prevent work-related stress in PE teachers, school authorities could encourage teachers to report student threats as a violence prevention str...

Self-reported data from 93 females and 62 males was collected anonymously and analysed using Spearman's rank-order correlations and cross-tabulation with chi-square tests. Nonverbal and verbal gender-based and sexual harassment by a coach was related to more frequent stress, psychosomatic symptoms and depressive symptoms only in male GSM sport participants. Undermining was related to more frequent depressive symptoms in males. There were no statistically significant gender differences in harassment. As for sexual orientation, there was a statistically significant association between verbal harassment by the coach and sexual orientation. The present findings have scientific, educational and clinical importance for sport psychologists involved in research, coach education and applied work.

However, longitudinal studies investigating these kinds of diets are lacking. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of a 4-month fat-loss diet in normal weight females competing in fitness-sport. In total 50 participants finished the study with 27 females (27.2 ± 4.1 years) dieting for a competition and 23 (27.7 ± 3.7 years) acting as weight-stable controls. The energy deficit of the diet group was achieved by reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing aerobic exercise while maintaining a high level of protein intake and resistance training in addition to moderate fat intake. The diet led to a ∼12% decrease in body weight (P < 0.001) and a ∼35-50% decrease in fat mass (DXA, bioimpedance, skinfolds, P < 0.001) whereas the control group maintained their body and fat mass (diet × group interaction P < 0.001). A small decrease in lean mass (bioimpedance and skinfolds) and in vastus lateralis muscle cross-sectional area (ultrasound) were observed in diet (P < 0.05), whereas other results were unaltered (DXA: lean mass, ultrasound: triceps brachii thickness). The hormonal system was altered during the diet with decreased serum concentrations of leptin, triiodothyronine (T3), testosterone (P < 0.001), and estradiol (P < 0.01) coinciding with an increased incidence of menstrual irregularities (P < 0.05). Body weight and all hormones except T3 and testosterone returned to baseline during a 3-4 month recovery period including increased energy intake and decreased levels aerobic exercise. This study shows for the first time that most of the hormonal changes after a 35-50% decrease in body fat in previously normal-weight females can recover within 3-4 months of increased energy intake.

Recent research found that self-reflection can enhance performance in elite sports. The purpose of this intervention study was two-fold: Firstly, to examine whether a guided reflective diary was effective in enhancing accuracy in elite archery, and secondly, to identify factors facilitating and hindering the usage of the guided reflective diary. Eight Singaporean elite archers (four females, four males), aged 20–24 years, reflected on their training using the diary for a period of five weeks. Their pre- and post-intervention performance scores were collected and qualitative interviews were conducted. Quantitative data revealed that only two archers improved their performance after the intervention, whereas six performed poorer than before. Qualitative data were content analysed using the thematic method. This revealed three facilitating factors for the guided reflective diary usage: (1) serves as a reminder, (2) description of shooting feeling, and (3) enhances motivation. In contrast, (1) time-consumption, (2) high number of questions, and (3) the repetitive nature of the reflection questions were reported as the three most common hindering factors for the effective usage of the reflective diary. The results are discussed using the sport and coaching science literature. Practical implications are proposed to optimise athletes’ use of reflection as a learning tool for personal improvement and performance enhancement.

Setting the idea of an emotional intelligence in a historical context, the authors&#39; four-branch model of these competencies is then described. Research on the measurement of emotional intelligence, especially as a set of abilities rather than as self-reported personality traits, is described. The psychometric properties of a new measure of emotional intelligence, the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), are presented, as are preliminary findings concerning the predictive validity of this construct in the domains of family, school, and workplace.

The data, derived from questionnaires and interviews with the peer teachers, were analysed using content analysis. The results showed that the peer teachers considered dance an important subject in the weekly curriculum. On the one hand, peer teachers enjoyed the freedom of making the class look like their own, the fast learning of their students, and the increased self-confidence acquired over the course. On the other hand, most of them were self-critical and felt ashamed when making mistakes. They also felt uncomfortable teaching same-aged or slightly older peers, and were surprised at the unwelcoming and rather arrogant attitude of their students. This article illustrates not only the difficulties that a peer-teaching experiment can encounter, but also the value of peer teaching in offering positive experiences and engaging students in school PE through urban youth culture.

Based on the self-reports of 363 fourth to sixth grade elementary school students (172 girls, 191 boys), the model revealed that the task-involving motivational climate in PE was linked to higher MVPA via cooperation in PE, and also via extrinsic motivation and PA intention. Ego-involving motivational climate was related to higher extrinsic motivation and amotivation, further to higher PA intention and, finally, to higher MVPA. Task-involving motivational climate was positively linked to students’ social competence markers of cooperation and empathy, and negatively to disruptiveness.
