OVERCOMING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF ANXIETY AMONG UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS DURING THE WAR

The effect on the general public's mental health is among the gravest effects of war. Prolonged stress has detrimental effects, one of which is a rise in anxiety. Students are one of the social groups that are most at risk in this regard. 96 % of Ukrainian university students, who were subjects to a Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory during the war, exhibited high trait anxiety, which led us to the conclusion that it was crucial to address the detrimental impacts of high anxiety in academic contexts. The analyses of the effects of anxiety and the most efficient strategies for overcoming it allowed identifying the areas of activity for addressing the detrimental effects of high levels of student anxiety in university settings in war conditions: creation of recommendations by psychologists, with the help of which students can independently diagnose the level of anxiety, monitor situations or triggers that provoke an increase in anxiety, understand the typical ways they react and behave when they become anxious, and choose suitable ways to combat anxiety; patriotic education with an emphasis on each student's understanding their role in society, the formation of an active life position, and engagement in volunteering; team work on collaborative tasks or projects will be beneficial for students who seek solace from anxious thoughts through cognitive techniques and real-world problem solving, as well as those who have a strong need for affiliation and mutual support; engagement in physical activity proved to be protective for anxiety symptoms and disorders and physical inactivity has been found to pose a risk for the emergence of anxiety as well as for other conditions like depression. Sporting events, the active work of sports departments and clubs, quick hikes or trips to learn about local history, civil safety events organized by higher educational institutions can be very helpful; implementation of healthy lifestyle principles, the acquisition of time management skills will help students to organize their daily routine. Free time management deserves special attention; the development of interpersonal communication skills will help students with high anxiety in overcoming a variety of communication barriers (cultural, gender, physical, emotional, perceptual, and interpersonal).

Investigating the effectiveness of a new indoor ventilation model in reducing the spread of disease: A case of sports centres amid the COVID-19 pandemic

The ventilation of buildings is crucial to ensure indoor health, especially when demanding physical activities are carried out indoors, and the pandemic has highlighted the need to develop new management methods to ensure adequate ventilation. In Spain, there are no specific ventilation regulations to prevent the spread of pathogens such as the coronavirus. Therefore, it is necessary to have a theoretical tool for calculating occupancy to maintain sports facilities in optimal safety conditions. The proposed theoretical method is based on the analysis of mathematical expressions from European standardisation documents and uses the concentration of CO2 as a bioeffluent. It is also based on the concept of background and critical concentration, which allows its application to be extrapolated to future crises caused by pathogens. This study presents a unique and novel dataset for sports centres. For this purpose, the calculation methods were applied to the data set provided by Mostoles City Council, Spain, during the pandemic years with the highest incidence of COVID-19, when the government introduced the assimilation of COVID-19 sick leave to occupational accidents. The data on this type of sick leave provided by the City Council correspond to the period between March 2020 and February 2022. Similarly, the data on the average use of sports facilities by activity, provided by the Sports Department, correspond to the years 2020 and 2021. In this way, it was possible to verify the effectiveness in preventing the spread of any type of coronavirus. In conclusion, the implementation of a theoretical occupancy calculation method based on the concentration of carbon dioxide as a bioeffluent can be an effective tool for the management of future crises caused by pathogens or hazardous chemicals in the air, and demonstrated its effectiveness in sports centres such as gyms, sports fields, and indoor swimming pools during the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, research on risk management policies, procedures, and practices within recreational sports is both limited and outdated. As such, this study provides an overview of current risk management policies, procedures, and practices across North American collegiate recreational sports departments.

Good governance principles: Snapshot of athletes’ and coaches’ commissions within their National Sports Federations in 2019

Introduction
 Good governance principles of National Sports Federations (NSF) include the representation of athletes and coaches through commissions (PlayTheGame, n. d.). This representation has been an important issue in Switzerland since the “Magglingen Protocols” of October 2020, which outlined the abuses in Swiss women’s gymnastics. In response, Swiss Olympic and the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport have taken measures, including the representation of athletes and coaches within their NSFs. One year before the abuses became public, athletes, coaches and NSFs’ officials were surveyed regarding principles of good governance. The surveys comprised questions on their involvement in policy-making at national level and, in particular, the existence of an athletes’ and coaches’ commission within their NSFs.
 Methods
 Using the SPLISS model (Sports Policy Factors Leading to International Sporing Success) and respective surveys (De Bosscher et al., 2006), 1,450 athletes with a Swiss Olympic Card Gold, Silver, Bronze or Elite from 54 different sports, 734 coaches with a national coaching position and a professional coaching qualification and 122 officials from NSFs were surveyed via an online survey (Kempf et al., 2021).
 Results
 Around 990 athletes assessed their involvement in the development and evaluation of policy guidelines, of which 16% (n = 156) reported to be “very/sufficiently involved” in the development within their NSF, followed by 13% (n = 130) for Swiss Olympic and 10% (n = 99) in FOSPO respectively. Overall, 50% (n = 451 – 507) of athletes consider their involvement to be “insufficient/not at all” in all three organisations. The responses for the evaluation of policy guidelines were similar. Regarding the existence of an athlete’s commission within their NSF, 44% (n = 442) of athletes stated that there is one, while 35% (n = 351) did not know; respectively coaches for coaches’ commission: 30% (n = 129) and 25% (n = 108). Finally, 46% (n = 41) of officials stated that there was a coaches’ committee in their NSF and 30% (n = 25) for the athletes’ commissions respectively.
 Discussion/Conclusion
 The results show that in 2019, an important number of athletes do not feel sufficiently involved in national level policy-making and that a significant number of athletes and coaches are not represented by a commission within their NSF. Meanwhile, the findings confirm the need for improved communication, particularly in relation to the existence of commissions. As posited by PlayTheGame (n. d.), clearly communicating the rights and responsibilities of commission members is needed to improve coaches and athletes’ involvement. Further research could make a comparison with the current situation and analyse the impact of the measures introduced by FOSPO and Swiss Olympic since 2020.
