Information System Concept for a Sports and Game Mobile Application with Elements of Artificial Motivation to Lead a More Active Lifestyle

The article presents the idea of a sports and gaming mobile application. The proposed concept has a number of indisputable advantages over the analogue products. The main one is the presence of a mechanism of artificial motivation to lead a more active lifestyle. This approach is especially relevant for modern children and teenagers, most of whom prefer virtual entertainment. The analysis of approaches and methods for encouraging and retaining the user of the mobile application was carried out based on the studied literature. The problem of reducing the physical activity of the population is highlighted. Based on the model of additive convolution for the problem of multi-criteria optimization, the feasibility of implementing the system and its superiority over similar software products presented on the market are substantiated. The expected implementation effects of the system are formulated. Mathematical model for substantiation of educational and physical culture and health effects are proposed. Decomposition of the system into subsystems was carried out using Gain-Sarson DFD-notation. The skeleton architecture of the application has been developed and substantiated. The UML activity diagram of the main process of system functioning has been developed. One of the possible options for implementing the system is proposed: the model of the project life cycle is chosen and substantiated, the stages of its implementation are determined, and the list of minimum necessary human resources is assigned. Implementation of the proposed application will have positive sports, health and educational effects. In addition to improving physical fitness, users will increase their awareness of the achievements of world-famous athletes and the sports they represent. The proposed mechanics for a gradual transition from regular walks to runs will minimize the chance of injury. The implementation of the proposed application is the first step for quantitative and qualitative analysis of physical activity of users. On the basis of statistical data, which is going to be collected in the following versions of the system, it is possible to determine to what extent the use of modern technologies and gamification mechanisms can motivate people to a more active lifestyle. The basis for this stage is the model presented in this paper.

From theory to research: Interpretational guidelines, statistical guidance, and a shiny app for the model of excellencism and perfectionism

After decades of research and debates about whether perfectionism is healthy or unhealthy, the Model of Excellencism and Perfectionism (MEP) recently differentiated between people striving for high standards (excellence strivers) and those pursuing perfectionistic standards (perfection strivers). In this study, we devised and tested an interpretational framework of nine scenarios to help determine whether perfectionism is beneficial, unneeded, or harmful by comparing the outcomes of excellence and perfection strivers. In a cross-sectional study with university students ( N = 271; Study 1), we found that perfection strivers savor positive school events less and have greater dropout intentions than excellence strivers. In a prospective/longitudinal design with college-aged athletes ( N = 296; Study 2), perfectionism was associated with higher athletic achievement. However, perfection strivers who failed to attain their goals experienced lower savoring and enjoyment than excellence strivers. Our findings highlighted the value of our interpretational scenarios as a hub to facilitate the comparison of MEP findings, while showing how to test MEP hypotheses with five popular statistical analyses. Furthermore, the MEP Shiny App is a valuable contribution to expedite the process of comparing the outcomes of excellence and perfection strivers. Overall, this research forged a substantive-methodological pathway that strengthens and enhances the practicality of the MEP.

“All the Makings of an Eventual NFL Starter:” Racial/Ethnic Disparities in a Decade of National Football League Draft Profiles as Revealed by Natural Language Processing

Student-athletes are often treated differently and inequitably based on their race/ethnicity. For example, Black student-athletes often face unjust stereotyping and discrimination because they are seen for their athletic achievements over their academic achievements compared to White student-athletes. Using in-game broadcast data, Black athletes are also discussed differently than White athletes, with disparities in how broadcasters focus on players’ physical and cognitive abilities. The current paper draws on and extends this literature by using natural language processing techniques to identify how experts communicate about different National Football League (NFL) prospects. A decade of data (2014-2023), including nearly 4,000 draft profiles, suggested writers attending to Black draftees used fewer positive emotions in player narratives than writers attending to White draftees. Narratives of White players also mentioned the NFL more than narratives of Black players, revealing a possible disparity in perceived belonging to the league. Implications for theory and equity in sport are discussed.
