Extracting Features from Foul Actions of Basketball Players in Real Time Using Machine Vision

As the global economic landscape rapidly advances and people's quality of life continues to improve, there is a noticeable increase in the demand for various sports, including basketball. Athletes of diverse skill levels find physical, social, and emotional satisfaction in engaging in basketball activities. In contemporary times, the requisites for success in basketball, such as height, speed, accuracy, distance, and strength, are escalating. The frequency of body contact has also intensified, leading to heightened intensity in ball shooting among players and an inevitability of fouls in offensive and defensive interactions. This dynamic poses challenges to the seamless progression of the sport, and the existence of various foul rules adds an element of unpredictability and uncontrollability to the game of basketball. The data reveals interesting insights. In terms of dribble defense, the Chinese team committed 16 fouls, whereas their opponents committed 33 fouls. However, in the context of shooting defense, the Chinese team had a higher foul count compared to their opponents. Conversely, when it came to defending the ball, the Chinese team committed fewer fouls than their opponents. In the category of preventing the ball, the Chinese team had 16 fouls compared to the opponent team's 12 fouls. Overall, the Chinese team demonstrated fewer fouls than their opponents in the realm of defense. The data underscores a potential highlight the specific factors influencing foul occurrences in different defensive scenarios. The study introduces a machine vision approach, which outperformed existing methods in classifying actions as fouls or not. This innovative application showcases the effectiveness of advanced technology in addressing the challenges associated with fouls in basketball, offering a promising avenue for further research and practical implementation. The comprehensive experimental results suggest that the machine vision approach outperformed existing methods in classifying actions as fouls or not, showcasing its effectiveness in addressing the challenge of fouls in basketball.

Provide reference for achieving excellent development of professional competence.

The effect of a mental health literacy intervention on Chinese team officials and staff in elite sports: a two-arm non-randomised controlled trial

ABSTRACT Mental health issues among elite athletes have received much attention in recent years. A supportive sport promotes the mental health of its athletes, team officials and staff play a crucial role in assisting athletes to seek help for their mental health when needed. However, studies have demonstrated that these individuals do not have sufficient knowledge to provide the appropriate support and assistance. Mental health literacy (MHL) is a major factor influencing support and help-seeking attitudes. Therefore, the current study aimed to provide support staff with knowledge about MHL to increase their MHL levels, reduce their stigma towards mental health issues, and improve their help-seeking attitude and their confidence in helping athletes with mental health issues. To this end, a two-arm non-randomised controlled trial was used, during which one 4-hour MHL workshop was delivered to 74 team officials and staff between the ages of 22–54 (M = 35.65, SD = 8.16). Data were collected at three time points (pre-intervention, post- intervention and follow-up). The results showed that the participants in the MHL group significantly outperformed those in the wait list control (WLC) group in terms of improved MHL and help-seeking attitude and reduced stigma. However, compared with the WLC group, the participants’ confidence in helping athletes with mental health issues did not significantly improve at post- and follow-up examinations. This study has practical implications for interventions designed to promote MHL among Chinese team officials and staff in elite sports and provides suggestions for future research on MHL and help-seeking.

China’s image in international sports events on positive psychology and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

BackgroundMajor international sports events will provide great group psychological encouragement to citizens. This study attempts to explore the impact of major international sports events on national positive psychology and symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).Subjects and Methods The research subjects were 268 patients who underwent PTSD treatment at a domestic public hospital between June 2020 and June 2023. These patients were randomly and evenly divided into an experimental group and a control group. In the experiment, the control group was required to observe major foreign sports events for at least 30 minutes every day, but there were no Chinese teams present during the events. The experimental group needs to watch international major sports events of the same type as the control group, but there are Chinese team matches included in the viewing content. The intervention lasted for 14 days, and the PTSD Symptom Scale Interview (PSS-I) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) tests were conducted on both groups of patients before and after the experiment.ResultsBefore and after the experiment, there was a significant difference in the PSS-I and SDS scale scores between the two groups of patients. Moreover, the overall scale data of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group.ConclusionsWatching major international sports events that are conducive to building China’s national image can enhance the positive psychological level of the people and treat PTSD symptoms.

Association between coach-athlete relationship and athlete engagement in Chinese team sports: The mediating effect of thriving.

Coach-athlete relationship (CAR), thriving and athlete engagement are important psychological variables that affect sports performance. On the basis of self-determination theory, this study constructs a mediation model to examine the influence of CAR on athlete engagement and the mediating effect of thriving between them. This cross-sectional study involves a questionnaire survey with 287 Chinese active athletes (M = 19.63, SD = 2.53) aged 14-26 years (64.5% male, 35.5% female) from eight sports. CAR, thriving and athlete engagement were assessed using the CAR Questionnaire, the Thriving Scale, and the Athlete Engagement Questionnaire, respectively. CAR and its dimensions can significantly and positively predict athlete engagement, complementarity, commitment, and closeness, accounting for 35.1%, 34.6%, and 30.4% of the cumulative variance in dominance analysis, respectively. The direct and indirect paths show that CAR affects athlete engagement through the mediating effect of thriving. The mediating effect model has a good fit and indirect effects account for 56.9% of the total effects. The effect of CAR on athlete engagement reflects a practical application of interpersonal dynamics in competitive sports to a certain extent. The following suggestions can be used to improve athlete engagement. First, setting common goals, emphasizing mutual cooperation, and building trust and support, promote coaches and athletes to have a higher sense of commitment and complementarity to each other, thereby helping improve athlete engagement. Second, meeting the vitality and progress needs of athletes effectively mobilizes CAR resources to promote athlete engagement, which can be manipulated by cultivating closeness, commitment, and complementarity. Third, to ensure the athletes' sports state and mental health, the sports team should focus on the cultivation of athletes' capacities to thrive and internally form a dynamic and positive sports atmosphere in their team. In the future, we can track and compare the influence of the improvement of CAR on thriving and athlete engagement can be tracked and compared from the dual perspectives of coaches and athletes.

EFEITOS DO TREINO DE ALONGAMENTO SOBRE A FORÇA DE EXPLOSÃO NOS MEMBROS INFERIORES DOS ATLETAS DE PATINAÇÃO ARTÍSTICA

ABSTRACT Introduction Figure skating is characterized by a high degree of flexibility, balance, and technical precision. It belongs to the sports group that combines high speed and endurance. Therefore, it is very important for athletes to correctly master these techniques and physical strength and execute precise movements in their performances. Objective Explore the effect of stretching training on the lower limb explosive strength of figure skating athletes. Methods 20 outstanding male figure skaters from the Chinese team were selected as volunteers. The experimental method was used using the OPTOJUMP test system, among other instruments, for comparison of pre and post-intervention results. Results Through scientific observation, it was found that skaters have less requirement for upper limb strength training, minimizing its importance because upper limb strength training can assist in motor coordination of athletes’ lower limbs and help them stabilize to perform dynamic movements. Therefore upper limb strength training is also emphasized in the proposed training. Conclusion The stretching training on the lower limb strength of figure skating athletes proved to be useful for the improvement of performance and execution of the intrinsic movements of the sport. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ПРЕДМЕТНЫЕ ОЛИМПИАДЫ В КИТАЕ: ТРАДИЦИИ И ИННОВАЦИИ

The Olympiad movement of schoolchildren is a ubiquitous driver of the search for talented young people and an international pedagogical phenomenon. The study of national experience in the implementation and preparation for school subject olympiads in China is the goal of our study, the relevance of which is determined by both the mass participation of Russian schoolchildren in intellectual competitions and the dominant role of Chinese teams in international olympiads in natural science disciplines. The approaches used in the study, on whose principles we relied: systemic, activity, cultural. Among the theoretical methods we apply are the study of domestic and English-language scientific literature on the topic, generalization of ideas, categorization. At the empirical level, we have studied the regulatory documents of the Chinese government in the field of education in English, which are publicly available for international scientific cooperation. Many sources were found in the Chinese database of research papers cnki.net. As a result of the study, the following features of the Olympiad movement in China were revealed: strict selection of applicants for national teams in various subjects, a multi-level dropout system for schoolchildren, the presence of training camps for the backbone of teams, from which participants in international competitions are determined (usually 6 people). Government support is implemented through the activities of the Chinese Association of Science and Technology. Despite the success of Olympiads, in recent years, the mass participation in China has decreased, since the Ministry of Education has banned directly accepting the winners of Olympiads to universities without specialized selection. In the Chinese tradition, successful contestants are perceived as “supernormal” teenagers with outstanding abilities, whose number a priori cannot be large. China’s success in economic and technological paths speaks of the effectiveness of educational technologies, which forces domestic teachers to analyze the eastern path of development of giftedness in school.

Leader extraversion and team performance: A moderated mediation model.

Extraversion is the best and most consistent predictor of important leadership outcomes. However, there has been little exploration and examination of the mechanisms underlying the effects of extraverted leadership on performance. Drawing on distal-proximal motivational theory and situational strength theory, the present study proposes and examines a moderated mediation model that explains how leader extraversion affects team performance and how situational characteristics strengthen or constrain this relationship. Respondents were recruited through management team training courses run by the eight Chinese companies. We conducted two rounds of electronic questionnaire collection. The first round of data was collected during the training session. Four weeks later, we collected the data through the training courses' WeChat groups. Data collected from 226 Chinese team leaders was analyzed using SPSS 26 and Mplus 7. We find that leader extraversion predicts team performance through a motivational mechanism operationalized as leader work engagement. We further find that goal clarity and process clarity play an important role in strengthening the positive effect of leader extraversion on leader work engagement as well as the motivational mechanism, providing an empirical explanation of how leader extraversion affects team performance through a motivational mechanism operationalized as leader work engagement. We also explore how two potential situational characteristics, operationalized as goal clarity and process clarity of leaders, affect the relationship between leader extraversion and leader work engagement as well as the motivational mechanism. Addionally, the findings suggest important practical implications for the organizations seeking to identify effective team leaders.

Fear Not the Strong Pass Iron-Clad on All Sides, The Summit’s Now Surmounted With Big Strides

Fear Not the Strong Pass Iron-Clad on All Sides, The Summit’s Now Surmounted With Big Strides After intensive preparation and joint efforts of the Singapore team and the Chinese team, the first phase of Economics & Management Information was launched. What kind of journal should Economics & Management Information be? I hope its first feature is inclusiveness. The core of inclusiveness lies in advocating diversified development and encouraging individual advantages. To make academic achievements in the fields of economy, management, finance, human resources and organizational behavior, journals, reviewers and authors need to jointly choose and practice the inclusive orientation. This magazine regards inclusion as the first key label in its inaugural period, and will innovate the selection criteria from four aspects of the paper's genre, topic selection, methods and results, so as to promote the inclusive development trend of economic and management research. First of all, we include theoretical articles that are reasonable but lack empirical evidence. Empirical method is the mainstream research method in recent years, but the academic worries caused by excessive "modeling" have attracted the attention of scholars. This magazine values articles that are logical and have made outstanding contributions, these papers put forward important topics, review rich literature, deduce convincing conclusions or put forward feasible suggestions, which are of high value and significance. This is a kind of tolerance of this journal to the paper genre. Second, we include topics that are novel but somewhat niche. For a long time, the research in the field of economy and management has followed the hot spots in the field of theory and practice, but the hot spots are not necessarily the focus of the research. Some hot spots cannot stand the test of time and disappear. This magazine encourages those hot topics and classic topics that are strictly selected, and also encourages original topics derived from global practical problems, even if they are slightly niche and have unknown prospects. Third, we include research methods that are scientifically rigorous and slightly flawed. The overemphasis on the scientific nature makes the research methods of the thesis more and more complicated, but this orientation itself is also being questioned. This magazine tries to include various qualitative and quantitative research methods, and comprehensively consider the overall value of articles. Fourth, we include research results that are true but not perfect. It is not easy for all assumptions in the theoretical model to be supported by data. Young scholars are often trapped in data flaws. The favor of journals for perfect conclusions is also the initiator of some academic misconduct. The insignificant path relationship itself is also a research discovery. Just like Edison had experienced 2500 failures before he discovered tungsten wire, each failure is significant. This magazine advocates the authors to report the true research results. Like a baby, this magazine is still in its infancy. If we are still confident in pursuing higher standards, I hope that the editor can select articles expressing concern about social realities and research issues full of new ideas and practical values. The development and promotion of this magazine cannot be separated from the support of all authors, reviewers and readers. It will be the result of collective wisdom and concerted efforts. We are willing to witness thetransformation process of this era and the common progress of the global academic community. Hui Cheng Written in Guangdong Province, China September 20, 2022

Relationships among Sports Group Cohesion, Passion, and Mental Toughness in Chinese Team Sports Athletes.

Passion is an important motivational variable that profoundly affects athletes' cognition, emotion, and behavior. This study constructed a mediating model to explore the mechanism of cohesion toward passion and mental toughness of Chinese team sports athletes and to investigate the mediating effect of harmonious passion and obsessive passion on cohesion and mental toughness. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 326 Chinese active athletes (M = 19.63, SD = 6.51) aged 14-26 years (54% male, 46% female) from eight sports. Cohesion and its dimensions can positively predict athletes' mental toughness, and ATG-T is more important in advantage analysis. The direct and indirect paths show that cohesion affects mental toughness through the mediating effect of harmonious passion and obsessive passion. Mediating effect model has a good fit and explained 22.1% of the variance in mental toughness. The relationship between cohesion, passion, and mental toughness reflects the psychological dynamic process from environment to motivation to sports performance. The development of team sports athletes' mental toughness can be carried out from the following points. First, the team should define a sports goal and take the needs of members into account in goal-setting. Second, the sports team should build a team culture that is enterprising, inclusive, and cooperative and emphasizes members' recognition of them. Third, the team should attach importance to the passion of the members and make good use of the team atmosphere. To protect the psychological health and long-term development of athletes, team culture should pay more attention to the cultivation of athletes' harmonious passion. Improving cohesion is beneficial to athletes' mental toughness in team sports. To protect the psychological health and long-term development of athletes, team culture should pay more attention to the cultivation of athletes' harmonious passion.

A Structural Equation Model-Based Study of the Effect of Perceived Risk of Performance on the Consumption Behaviour of Soccer Spectators

The purpose of this research is to examine the intentions of sports consumption of viewers of two Chinese Super League soccer teams and to determine whether changes in behaviour are related to the teams’ league standings. Spectators from both teams participate in the study voluntarily. The study employs descriptive statistics and fieldwork, and the questionnaire used in the study has a reliability coefficient of 0.87. Experts in sports management determine the content validity, while validation factor analysis is used to determine the structural validity. The statistical population is composed of two Chinese Super League teams (one team is relatively successful and one less successful). Six hundred and seventy-eight valid questionnaires are distributed randomly. Following data collection, the link between consumption behaviour and perceived risk is examined. The findings show that performance risk has an effect on game watching intention, t = 0.04, with a standard solution of 1.99, on recommending others watch the game, t = 0.11, with a standard solution of 0.98, on team licenced merchandise consumption, t = −0.05, with a standard solution of −0.41, and on the consumption of media, t = 4.21, with a standard solution of 1.19. Therefore, performance perceived risk significantly affects game watching and media consumption intention has a significant effect but has no significant effect on recommending others to watch the game and licensed merchandise consumption.

Relationships among Sports Group Cohesion, Psychological Collectivism, Mental Toughness and Athlete Engagement in Chinese Team Sports Athletes

Background: Cohesion is an important factor affecting sports performance. This study constructed a mediating model to explore the mechanism of cohesion toward psychological collectivism, mental toughness, and athlete engagement of Chinese team sports athletes, and to investigate the mediating effect of psychological collectivism and mental toughness on cohesion and athlete engagement. Methods: A total of 326 active Chinese athletes (54% males, 46% females) aged 14 to 26 years (M = 19.63, SD = 6.51) from eight sports were investigated by questionnaire. Results: The athlete engagement can be predicted significantly and positively by cohesion and its dimensions, and ATG-T is more important in advantage analysis. Direct and indirect paths indicate that cohesion affects athlete engagement, through the mediating effects of psychological collectivism, the mediating effects of mental toughness, the serial multiple mediating of psychological collectivism and mental toughness. The mediating effect model had a satisfactory goodness of fit and explained 50.5% of the variance in athlete engagement, and the SEM revealed the mechanism of cohesion in Chinese athlete engagement to a certain extent. Conclusion: Psychological collectivism is the embodiment of high-quality cohesion in Chinese team sports. The increase in cohesion and psychological collectivism can improve Chinese athletes’ ability to cope with stressful situations in sports, which may allow them to achieve a better performance through athlete engagement.

Does top management team responsible leadership help employees go green? The role of green human resource management and environmental felt‐responsibility

AbstractDrawing on social information processing theory, the current study investigates the relationship between top management team (TMT) responsible leadership and employee organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) from a vertical perspective, and whether green human resource management (GHRM) and employee environmental felt‐responsibility can play a sequential mediating role between them. Totally, 102 middle‐level managers and 527 employees in 102 Chinese teams voluntarily participated in our study. Drawing on above data, our study verifies that TMT responsible leadership was positively associated with both GHRM and employee environmental felt‐responsibility. In addition, GHRM mediated the positive effects of TMT responsible leadership and employee environmental felt‐responsibility. Also, GHRM can further promote employee OCBE through employee environmental felt‐responsibility. Overall, the positive relationship between TMT responsible leadership and employee OCBE was sequentially mediated by GHRM and employee environmental felt‐responsibility. Therefore, the current study shows the way to achieve corporate environmental sustainability strategy.

An intercultural analysis of metadiscourse in international mathematical contest papers: From research to EAP practice

Practitioners of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) are responsible for preparing students to fulfill the expectations of an ever-growing number of written genres. One emerging application of the research paper genre is found in a related pair of highly competitive international contests, the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM). Through a lens of intercultural rhetoric (IR) and English as a lingua franca (ELF), this paper examines a metadiscourse analysis of 38 summary and 38 conclusion sections of MCM/ICM Outstanding Winner papers, half of which were written by Chinese teams and the other half by American teams. The study found that while both Chinese and American writing depended heavily on the use of metadiscourse in the two sections, there are distinct differences in the frequency and linguistic realization of metadiscourse across cultures. The paper concludes with proposed pedagogical applications of findings in designing an EAP course to prepare international student teams to be more competitive in their MCM/ICM writing. In line with recent research in IR and ELF, the current research demonstrates that the MCM/ICM contests do not require students to hold strictly to “native-speaker” levels of writing as long as the contest papers are mathematically and logically sound.

A Discussion on Adaptive Applications of Some Chinese Design Codes in Guinea and Localization of Flood Standards

Chinese engineering team participated in the construction of several water conservancy and hydropower projects in areas which have differences in climate characteristics from China. Due to a lack of hydrological and climatic data and the absence of systematic design specifications in these areas, considering construction safety, most of the Chinese designs and constructions are based on the extreme values with the Chinese design codes. The S Project in Guinea established a rainfall-runoff model through open-source remote sensing satellite precipitation data and limited hydrological station measured runoff data，allowing to refine local hydrological data. Based on these data series, it was then possible to calculate flood control standards with more local hydrological characteristics in order to promote the progress of the project scientifically. In addition, combining the refined discharging curve of the outlet hole with the latest arc gate online monitoring technology, and the joint dispatch with the downstream hydropower station, permitted that the downstream K Hydropower Station created historic power generation in 2019 with significant economic and social benefits.

The Development and Validation of a Cognitive Diversity Scale for Chinese Academic Research Teams.

Cognitive diversity is an important concept stemming from western management research in the 1990s. With the rapid development of science and technology, there is a growing interest in the composition of an academic research team, such as team diversity. However, there is no tool available for measuring team cognitive diversity (TCD) for academic research teams. Based on Van der Vegt’s theoretical model of TCD, an Academic Research Team Cognitive Diversity Scale (ATCDS) is developed and validated for an academic research team in our research with two studies (N=737). In Study One, in-depth interviews and panel discussions were conducted to generate a preliminary questionnaire. In Study Two, the questionnaire was administered among academic research teams. Exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors regarding cognitive diversity: (1) the way of thinking, (2) knowledge and skills, (3) the view of the world, and (4) beliefs about what is right and wrong. The factor structure was further validated by confirmatory factor analysis. Moreover, correlation and regression analyses showed that academic research TCD was positively related to team creativity (r =0.306, p <0.01) and performance (r =0.204, p <0.10). To sum up, our newly developed 15-item ATCDS is sufficiently reliable and valid to be used for understanding cognitive diversity among academic research teams.
