Journeying into postqualitative inquiry: an exploration of the opportunities and tensions for graduate students in sport and exercise psychology

ABSTRACT Postqualitative inquiry (PQI) has emerged in recent years as a potential-filled approach to inquiry for researchers seeking to move beyond humanist paradigms such as postpositivism and interpretivism. PQI offers researchers exciting opportunities to shift from method-focused scholarship to theory-focused scholarship, amongst other moves. As a graduate student conducting research in sport and exercise psychology (SEP), PQI caught my (i.e., first author) attention and drew me into the dynamic whirlwind of immanence, materiality, and relationality. In the present commentary paper, the purpose is to explore the opportunities and tensions of PQI for SEP graduate students. Specifically, I do so by sharing my experiences engaging with PQI in attempts to help other SEP graduate students navigate their PQI journeys. The paper first situates what PQI is/is not and what it does, followed by some of the opportunities related to engaging in PQI, which include stimulating intellectual openness, working towards social justice, and addressing methodological critiques. Despite these opportunities, some tensions do exist, such as the labours of reading hard, onto-epistemological juggling, and the rush to application. In grappling with these opportunities and tensions, recommendations are offered to SEP graduate students who do decide to journey into PQI. These recommendations consist of reframing the return on investment as rhizomatic, remaining aware of the exclusionary effects of labelling PQI, and understanding the ramifications of a decentred human in SEP research. Concluding thoughts are offered in the form of reflections from both the first and second authors.

Prevalence of Phenotypic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Among Student Sports Participants

Prevalence of Phenotypic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Among Student Sports Participants

Document analysis of adaptive sport opportunities at Division-1 universities in the United States

BackgroundIndividuals with disabilities are less likely to participate in physical activity, with the greatest decline in participation during college years. Despite known health benefits, there are significant barriers that limit sport and exercise participation for students with disabilities, including adaptive access. To our knowledge, there has been no comprehensive review conducted to examine the number of adaptive sport offerings on a collegiate level. ObjectiveAssess the availability of adaptive sport opportunities for students at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division-1 Universities to better understand university-affiliated adaptive sport opportunity for students. MethodsWebsite document analysis was conducted by systematically querying the general homepage, athletics page, and campus recreation websites of each NCAA Division-1 University in the United States (US). Institutional and sport-related characteristics were recorded. ResultsOf the 358 NCAA Division-1 Universities, 20.4 % (73/358) marketed adaptive sport opportunities (recreational, club, and/or intercollegiate), with 3.9 % (11/358) acknowledging intercollegiate adaptive sport programs on their websites. Five percent (6/121) of private institutions, and 28.3 % (67/237) of public institutions reported adaptive sport opportunities. The Northeast region had the fewest number of institutions reporting adaptive sport offerings (4/67, 6.0 %). The most commonly offered sport was adaptive recreation (36/358, 10.2 %), followed by wheelchair basketball (26/358, 7.4 %). ConclusionOver three-quarters of Division-1 Universities in the US lack an online description of adaptive sport opportunity, highlighting the need for expanded resourcing and marketing of adaptive sport at the university level. Future studies are necessary to identify appropriate strategies to effectively promote sport, maximize participation and improve social inclusion.

Anaerobic Abilities Students Using Indirect Tests: Fatigue Index and Peak Power

Background: Most human movements are supported by its functional capabilities of the anaerobic type, which is dominated by submaximal and maximal sports activities performed in a short time. Functional capabilities of the anaerobic type of man participate in most of his movement activities. Conditioned on adequate and extremely good interaction and functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, morphological status, metabolic processes, muscle structure, nutritional status, physical activity, etc. Purpose: The research was conducted in the conditions of the so-called field testing with the primary goal of assessing the acute state of anaerobic abilities of physical and sports students, by calculating the fatigue index (FI). Methods: The sample included 80 students of Physical and Sports Education, different geographical regions, average weight 77.88±8.49kg, age 20-23 years. The Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was used to assess FI, and the basic statistical parameters were calculated. Results: The average value of the student's leg power is 573.89 watts (378.42 watts vs. 817.99watts), and the recorded average (FI) of 8.35 watts/sec (3.97watts/sec. vs. 16.93watts/sec.). Conclusions: The obtained results confirmed the average values of anaerobic capacity which are suitable for the examined population of subjects, while the maximal the value of FI suggests a weaker state of the anaerobic capacity of the individuals (less tolerance to lactates).

Effectiveness of training in different types of sports games by the applicants of higher education

The modern society is increasingly paying attention to the healthy lifestyles and the motor activity, especially among the students, who are one of the most vulnerable segments of the population. Higher education, as an important stage in the formation of a personality, requires a comprehensive approach to the development of the applicants. In this context, the study of the effectiveness of different types of sports games among students is of particular importance. Given the variety of sports games, an analysis of the effectiveness of training in different types of Olympic sports games by higher education students can help to formulate recommendations for choosing the best sports for students, taking into account their individual characteristics. The purpose of the study: to study the impact of training in various types of Olympic sports on the physical, functional and psychological state, social adaptation, cognitive functions and leadership qualities of higher education students. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalisation of scientific and methodological literature. Results of the study. The paper examines the impact of football, basketball, volleyball, handball, rugby, baseball, water polo, hockey, softball, tennis, table tennis and badminton on health, fitness and performance, physical and functional state of systems and analysers, psychological state, social adaptation, cognitive functions and leadership qualities of higher education students. Conclusions. Training in various types of Olympic sports games has a significant impact on the physical, functional, psychological and cognitive state of the applicants of higher education. When choosing sports games for physical education classes by the applicants of higher education, it is important to take into account their age, health status, functional state of systems and analysers, level of physical fitness, individual preferences and characteristics, resistance to physical contact, motivation to study.

The influence of an experimental physical training program on 100 m running speed indicators of educators of table tennis groups of a higher education institution. Dynamics and forecasting.

The problem of improving the process of physical education of students has been the subject of specialists' attention for many years. Analysis of literary sources shows that the level of physical fitness, mental and moral strength of the main mass of applicant’s education remains quite low. This requires finding new ways to improve physical, mental and moral condition of student youth. Purpose: experimental check the effect of specially designed classes included in the physical education program training of students of sports oriented groups in table tennis of the institution of higher education on the indicator of running speed for 100 m. Material: used in the experiment participation of 106 first-year students of different genders (53 – control group and 53 – experimental). The R/S method was proposed for processing experimental data. Informed consent to participate in this experiment was obtained from all participants. Results: at the end of the experiment (May), the results of the students of the experimental group qualitatively differed from the results of the students of the control group groups The results of the pedagogical experiment indicate the need for inclusion of the proposed classes in the educational program for physical education of students of groups with a sports orientation, in particular (sectional classes) table tennis. The experimental program included classes with running at the maximum pace at short distances from 15 to 30 m, at a distance of 60 and 100 m, running at maximum pace cross step in different directions. Relays with running were also used, moving in different ways, mobile games and sports team games. Organization education seekers was carried out by the frontal method and the method of circular training. When using circular training, accelerations for 100 m were used speed up to 65-70% of the maximum, which alternated with running for a distance of 50 m at a slow pace The training program also included classes with cross-country elements training and elements of basic aerobics, step aerobics, dance aerobics, which accounted for up to 25% of the time. The pedagogical experiment was conducted during the academic year with from October 2020 to June 2021. Conclusions: this experiment proved that that the inclusion of specially developed table tennis sections in the curriculum classes, made it possible to improve the indicators of education seekers in running a distance of 100 m. The method of exponential smoothing made it possible to predict the results on future. One of the advantages of the calculation method proposed in the article is that that fractal analysis allows to reveal stochastic (random) time series. In such, there is no long-term statistical dependence in the time series.

Painkiller intake and problematic health literacy in sport and music students - A cross-sectional study

Previous works have suggested a high prevalence of painkiller intake (PI) among sport students but also improved health literacy (HL) for sports-active students than for sports-inactive students. Since health-related content also forms part of the sport science curriculum, the study focuses on these seemingly paradoxical results. Music students who are also physically active through their instrumental practice, who act in an area with increased PI and who have no health-related teaching content in their curriculum composed the comparison group. Therefore, this study investigated the prevalence of PI and HL in cohorts of sport (n = 222; 54.5% female) and music students (n = 89; 67.4% female) using a cross-sectional online survey in Lower Saxony, Germany. The hypothesis tests were validated by calculating frequentist and Bayesian statistics. The results show that 50.9% of sport and 28.1% of music students exhibit PI concerning their study programs, often for prophylactical purposes and in the presence of low HL levels. The weak negative correlation between PI and HL was not statistically confirmed and requires further research with improved test power. Regarding the possible health consequences of an inconsiderate PI, target group-specific prevention is indicated to increase general health awareness and HL.

Depression Related to COVID-19, Coping, and Hopelessness in Sports Students.

This study aimed to explore the impact of the first two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental and physical states of sports students from Romania and also to compare the differences according to gender and the type of sport. Initially, in order to collect demographic data and health reports, a cross-sectional survey was developed to evaluate the emotional needs of sports students during the pandemic. After the second wave, the coping strategies used by the participants to fight negative emotions were assessed using the CERQ questionnaire. The results indicate that depression symptoms are the most reported psychological issues among the participants and that there are differences according to gender concerning the cognitive schemas they use in order to reduce the symptoms. Also, it was found that there are differences, corresponding to the type of sport, in choosing adaptive coping mechanisms. Ultimately, it was confirmed that higher levels of hopelessness among sports students are associated with increased vulnerability to substance use, with the correlation between those two indicators being strong. Delving deeper into this relationship can help identify critical points for intervention to prevent substance abuse. At the same time, the dichotomic analysis of the results found as moderators-the gender and the type of sport in decreasing the severity of depression could be an important aspect of the next counseling interventions.

The Effectiveness of Sports Massage and Cold Water Immersion towards Fatigue Recovery and Post-Exercise Stress Levels of Sprinters at the Student Sports Education and Training Center (PPLP)

The first objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of sport massage and cold water immersion in the post-exercise fatigue recovery of the PPLP sprinter athletes. Second, to determine the effectiveness of sports massage and cold water immersion in reducing post-exercise stress levels of the PPLP sprinter athletes. This research used an experimental method with a pretest-posttest-control group design. The research population was PPLP Bogor 100m sprint athletes, totaling 30 athletes and they were divided into 3 treatment groups: Sport Massage, Cold Water Immersion, and Control. The sampling technique was random sampling with certain criteria. The three groups received an exercise simulation with a duration of 60 minutes divided into 10 minutes of warm up, 45 minutes of exercise, and 5 minutes of cooling down. Before and after the treatment, pretest and posttest were conducted including the level of fatigue recovery (pulse rate, RPE, FAS) and post exercise stress level (Daily Wellness Questionnaire). The normality test used Shapiro Wilks and the data homogeneity test referred to the Levene test. Testing the effectiveness used one way ANOVA for normally distributed data and for the data that was not normally distributed using the Kruskal Wallis test. The data was then processed by using the statistical program SPSS 22. The results show that (1) there are differences in the effectiveness of sport massage and cold water immersion towards the level of post-exercise fatigue of PPLP sprinters. There are differences in treatment effectiveness between the three groups (p < 0.05) for pulse and RPE variables. In the Tukey post hoc test it is found that there is a difference in effectiveness between sport massage and the control group (p < 0.05) and between cold water immersion and the control group (p < 0.05). However, between sports massage and cold water immersion there is no significant difference in recovering fatigue levels. (2) There is no difference in the effectiveness of sport massage and cold water immersion towards the level of post- exercise stress reduction of PPLP sprinters with a significance value (p > 0.05). Hence, in recovering post-exercise fatigue, sports massage or cold water immersion recovery techniques can be used according to the needs of athletes compared to passive rest.

Cross-sectional study on exercise-related skin complaints among sports students at two German universities

Sports activities can lead to exercise-related skin complaints. These include different symptoms (e.g. infections, mechanical injuries, contact dermatitis). Previous studies mostly focused only on skin infections and injuries in competitive athletes. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and characteristics of exercise-related skin complaints among sports students and to what extent these complaints influence physical fitness. We performed a self-administered online survey among 259 actively exercising sports students from two German universities. Descriptive analyses were conducted. The most common complaints were blistering (57.3%), dryness (56.7%), redness (44.7%), and chafing (34.0%). Hands and feet (78.0% each) were most frequently affected. Participants whose skin was particularly stressed (47.5%) had higher training duration (7.6 h/week, 95%-CI 6.8–8.3 h) than those without complaints (5.1 h/week, 95%-CI 5.5–6.7 h, p = 0.003). The students reported reduced intensity (34.7%) and frequency (22.7%) of training due to their skin complaints. A reduction in performance was reported by 32.0% of the students. Actively exercising sports students considered an intact skin as essential for their physical fitness. Reported impairments of the skin led to a reduced intensity and frequency of training. To enhance the awareness of exercise-related skin complaints, further research is necessary.
