▼ Forms of citizenship expand beyond those based on nation-state to involve populations at both sub-national and transnational levels (Roche, 2002; Yuval-Davis, 2006; Sindic, 2011). This research examines the athlete citizenry including (1) institutionalized meanings related to rights, roles, and responsibilities of high-performance athletes; and (2) the range of meanings of athlete citizenship negotiated by athletes. Document analysis and interviews with athletes and key informants have been deployed to synthesize an athlete citizenship framework. Findings from this research are: (1) athletes express a sense of belonging to a transnational community of high-performance and Olympic athletes; thus, it is possible to derive a definition of athlete citizenry by examining the athlete community through broader models of citizenship; (2) further work is needed to uphold and expand athletes’ rights; (3) athletes with recent high-performance success tend to engage in social initiatives to derive ‘deeper’ meaning from their sporting experiences.

▼ This thesis determines insufficiencies in training female athletes exist and presents recommendations for how these insufficiencies should be corrected. This problem is analyzed through a historical and scientific lens and uses information learned from several interviews with current coaching staff regarding female athlete training. Title IX is commonly recognized as the vanguard of women’s athletics, however, it caused unintended consequences female athletes suffer: insufficient representation, discrimination, and commercialization. Research on scientific studies regarding female athletes shows more data are needed to prevent and treat injuries that female athletes experience. However, studies prove that female athletes experience injuries to certain parts of the body more often than men, which makes protecting female athletes an imperative. Coaches have an ethical obligation to train athletes properly, so to ensure that coaches get the training right, I recommend guidelines and standards rooted in bioethics principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, and autonomy. Beneficence calls for coaches to further the best interests of athletes by using the best available skills and knowledge so athletes can perform to the best of their ability, not only athletically, but academically and socially. Autonomy calls for coaches to refrain from coercing athletes. Nonmaleficence calls for coaches to avoid causing harm to athletes. While guidelines rooted in these principles provide an essential framework for athletic programs, enforceable guidelines—standards—make coaches accountable to provide adequate training programs and warrant coaches to make decisions centered around furthering the best interest of the athlete. While these standards do not fix all problems and inequities regarding female athletics, they bring about issues beyond medicine and present improvements which may be necessary to protect all athletes’ health and well-being.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore elite coaches' perspectives on the athlete-centred approach to coaching. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten (five male and five female) current coaches of female athletes on Canadian national team sports. The data were analyzed qualitatively using inductive and deductive analyses. Data revealed that coaches attached divergent meanings to the term "athlete-centred" sport. They referred to a holistic philosophy of the athlete, coaching practices that involve athletes within the coach-athlete partnership, specific values as essential components of athlete-centred coaching, and a philosophy of success that extends beyond athletic performance. The coaches also identified barriers to implementing athlete-centred coaching behaviours. The findings of this study have implications for our understanding of athlete-centred coaching and holistic athlete development, as well as policy revisions, coach education, and future coaching research.

▼ Research has demonstrated that the coach-
athlete relationship is one of the key
interpersonal factors that influences outcomes such as performance (Sánchez, Borrás, Leite,
Battaglia, &
Lorenzo, 2009), satisfaction
with performance (Jowett & Don Carolis, 2003), and
dropout rates (Fraser-Thomas, Côté, & Deakin, 2008). However, relatively little is known about
the factors necessary to achieve and/or maintain a high-quality coach-
athlete relationship.
Building upon Jowett and Poczwardowski’s (2007) integrated research model, this study of 355
coach-
athlete dyads explored how congruence
(i.e., similarity, fit)
of goal orientation
(GO)
impacted
the quality of the coach-
athlete relationship and coach-
athlete communication.
Specifically, it was hypothesized that
congruence
between coach and
athlete goal orientations
(mastery, performance-approach, performance-
avoid) would be positively related to both
variables of interest. Using polynomial regression and response surface analysis, results
indicated that goal orientation congruence is an important determinant in both the quality of the
coach-
athlete relationship and coach-
athlete communication. Implications for coaches and
athletes based on the magnitude and direction of
goal orientation congruence/incongruence are
discussed. The importance of the method and measures
used to assess congruence is also
discussed.

▼ This study examined the effect of an
athlete endorser’s gender-sport fit and expertise in the decision-making process of
athlete endorsed product impressions in a Chinese sports market. The result of this study showed that the gender-sport fit of an
athlete endorser can significantly impact sport consumers’ intentions to purchase an endorsed product. A total of 649 sport consumers from a major city in China participated in this study. The relationship between gender-sport fit and level of expertise of an
athlete endorser was also revealed. Specifically, gender-sport fit had a stronger influence on consumers’ purchase intentions compared to expertise. The findings of this study should be beneficial to athletes considering endorsement contracts and marketers who want to use endorsements to advertise their products and improve sales.

▼ The purpose of this study is to understand Bandura‘s (1977) self-efficacy and Vealey‘s (1986) sport confidence implications on intercollegiate athletics and to explore gender and experience level differences related to self-efficacy in intercollegiate athletes. The study attempted to fill two major gaps in previous research, i.e., relationships of gender and playing experience on self-efficacy, specifically by analyzing a variety of sports, expanding upon previous research studies, as well as increasing the generalizability and external validity of the existing self-efficacy theories. The results of the study indicated that student-athletes have high levels of self-efficacy, which supported the first hypothesis; next, that males possessed higher levels than females, which supported the second hypothesis; and finally, that experience levels were not statistically significant in the resulting levels of self-efficacy, which did not support the final hypothesis.

▼ Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the
acceptability and impact of a ten-week foods lab-based cooking
intervention program on the energy and nutrient intake, body
composition, and iron status indices in female collegiate athletes.
Methods: Female Collegiate athletes were recruited for this study.
Participants were excluded if they had severe food allergies,
current or planned pregnancy, eating disorder diagnosis, or any
metabolic disorder. Participants completed eight food lab-based
intervention classes during their summer training period. The
classes consisted of nutrition education focusing on healthy eating
for optimizing sports performance, skill-based learning that
incorporated basic kitchen skills with recipe preparation, and
behavioral strategies including food monitoring and goal setting.
Dietary intake, anthropometrics, and blood samples were analyzed
pre- and post-intervention for changes as well as adequacy in
meeting general sports nutrition recommendations for athletes.
Dependent variables were anthropometric measures (weight, body fat
percentage, fat mass, and fat free mass), iron status indicators
(ferritin, hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit (Hct)), and dietary
measures (energy, macronutrients, and iron). Shapiro-Wilk test of
normalcy was run on all data and paired T-tests were used to
examine the differences pre- to post-intervention for all outcome
measures. Results: Eleven NCAA Division I Female Collegiate
athletes, age (20.4 ± 1.2 years) participated in the intervention.
At the end of the 10 weeks, lean mass increased significantly, 56.1
± 4.6kg to 56.8 ± 4.6kg, respectively (p = 0.017). In terms of iron
status, there were significant increases in Hct and Hb from pre- to
post-intervention (p=0.01), while there was a downward trend in
ferritin (p = 0.067). Thirty six percent of the participants did
not meet the minimum 30g/kg energy recommendation for weight
maintenance post-intervention. Further, not one
athlete met the
minimum carbohydrate recommendation of 5g/kg either pre- or
post-intervention. In addition, three participants (n=3, 27%) did
not meet the minimum 1.2g/kg protein recommendation
post-intervention. The direction of change for all dietary measures
was favorable, however, no significant differences were observed in
energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, or iron intake from pre- to
post-intervention. Conclusion: A foods lab-based cooking
intervention that incorporates nutrition education, cooking skills,
and dietary goal setting may have benefits relative to nutritional
intake, body composition, and iron status in female collegiate
athletes. Larger, controlled studies are necessary to determine if
Bearcats in the Kitchen could be a useful approach to improve the
dietary intake of macronutrients and body composition in collegiate
athletes across different sports.

▼ Increasing number of masters and aged athletes participate in athletic events each year with increased proficiency and improved performances, yet there are significant physiological differences in the recovery process compared with younger athletes that need elucidation. For example, there are subtle recovery impairments compared to younger athletes amplified by several factors, including increased age-related detraining and sedentary behaviors affecting the training status of aged athletes, female hormonal changes affecting measurement and interpretation of muscle damage markers, age-related skeletal muscle fiber type changes, and skeletal muscle repair processes impaired by age-related immune system changes. All of these changes conspire to impair repair and replenishment of aged skeletal muscle post exercise. Therefore, this review compares and contrasts age-related recovery processes and intervention results following strenuous exercises

▼ This thesis is involves the assessment of a varsity
athlete injury and illness surveillance system that will strengthen and standardize the quality of the data collected, and support the development of sport-specific preventative measures for future athletes. Injury and illness information was collected from 14 varsity teams (338 varsity athletes) from the University of Guelph during the Fall 2016 semester season. Descriptive data collected involved weekly summaries of injuries and illnesses and individual reporting on each injury and illness completed by athletes and team trainers. The average compliance from varsity teams was 86% (men: ~96%, women: ~72%). Injury prevalence was 9.0 (95% CI 7.3 to 10.6) injuries per 1000
athlete exposures and illness prevalence was 9.2 illnesses (95% CI 6.1 to 12.3) per 100 participating athletes.
Athlete injury and illness surveillance was feasible in Canadian university sports and will help develop prevention strategies in future competitive seasons.

▼ As athletes push the limits of physical capacity they undertake training programmes that continue to increase the stress on their bodies. This can lead to an imbalance between the anabolic and catabolic processes, and a loss of fitness and performance potential. An extended periods of rest and recovery is then required before the
athlete can resume full training. The research studies presented in this thesis were conducted to improve the understanding of measures commonly used to detect athletes at risk of overreaching.
The initial study, based around a 16 day training camp, measured the response, at rest, of body mass, heart rate and, haematocrit (Hct), creatine kinase (CK), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), to a cyclic training programme. Small but significant changes in mass within a mean range of 0.77 kg were reported for the male and female subjects (p<0.001). Morning heart rate showed a significant increase to the first training cycle, and sinusoidal variations in response to changes in the training load. There were similar changes in haematocrit for males and females across the training camp although the changes were not significant. Haemoglobin was greater for the males than females (p<0.001) and increased and decreased across the camp (p=0.003). Mean creatine kinase (CK,) concentration were similar for males and females (p=0.084). The males demonstrated greater peak values of CK in response to the first training cycle and this would account for the by-sex difference in the response across the training camp (p=0.009). Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was greater for males than females (p=0.004) with the BUN concentration increasing for both sexes across the training camp (p<0.001).
In the second study a number of heart rate measures and blood borne markers (haematocrit, CK, creatinine, BUN, lactate and glucose), hormones (total testosterone, cortisol, growth hormone and testosterone:cortisol ratio), were measured both at rest and after a short duration sub-maximal exercise challenge. These measures were made across a three day period of training and three days of recovery designed to mimic the duration of the training implemented in the initial study and as often used by coaches. Supine pre-exercise (p0.001), final sub-maximal heart rate (p<0.001), and heart rate range (p=0.006) demonstrated significant responses to the period of training and recovery. Body mass (p=0.006), Hct (p<0.001), CK (p<0.001), creatinine (p=0.006), BUN (p<0.001), lactate (p<0.001) and total testosterone (p<0.001), responded to the period of training and recovery. Haematocrit (p<0.001), creatinine (p=0.012), lactate (p<0.001), glucose (p<0.001), testosterone (p<0.001) and growth hormone (p=0.004), responded to the sub-maximal exercise challenge.
In the third study data collected were correlated with changes in maximal rowing performance across the three days of training and three days of recovery to determine their usefulness in tracking changes in performance capacity.
Changes in 2000 m ergometer rowing performance indicate that the…

Introduction: Groin pain in athletes can be a debilitating condition which can affect the individual experiencing the pain as well as the team they are associated with. Many publications have explored pathoanatomical explanations of groin pain yet little is known about sensory processing and its role in the pathogenesis and treatment of groin pain. This thesis examined quantitative sensory testing in controlled, experimental conditions and in Australian football players experiencing groin pain. Methods: Study populations: Two study populations were utilised in this thesis. To investigate the role that pain in the groin has on the diagnostic criteria, healthy active males were recruited from a university setting. The second population was constituted by professional and semi-professional Australia football players who had current groin pain and matched healthy controls recruited from the same clubs. Clinical assessments: Six common clinical assessments were evaluated under experimental pain conditions. These tests were bilateral adduction in 0°, 45° and 90° of hip flexion, resisted abdominal crunch, and oblique crunches in both directions. A positive result was defined as an increase in pain levels experienced during or immediately following contraction of the involved muscles. A negative finding was no change in the level of pain experienced. Electrodes were placed on the adductor longus, rectus femoris, tensor fascia latae and external obliques bilaterally to investigate the electromyography (EMG) activity of diagnostic tests to understand the differing diagnostic capacities. Quantitative sensory testing: Pressure pain thresholds were evaluated on the adductor longus, pubic bone, rectus femoris, tibialis anterior to investigate the mechanical sensitivity of the lower limb under experimental and clinical pain conditions. Pain distribution: To investigate the pain referral patterns of the adductor longus, body charts were utilised under experimental pain conditions. Patient-reported outcome measures: The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) was employed to investigate the symptoms and disability associated with groin pain in the study populations. Other measures: The McGill Pain Questionnaire was utilised to capture the descriptions of experimental pain in the groin. Statistical methods: Diagnostic statistics such as sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratios (LR) were utilised to evaluate the clinical tests. Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves were determined with the ‘Jack-knife method’ comparisons of non-parametric variances of the diagnostic capacities of the clinical tests. Repeated measurements were utilised throughout the thesis. These were analysed using repeated-measures analysis of variances or mixed-effect linear models (restricted estimates maximum likelihood (REML) models) where ANOVA modelling failed the assumptions of the test or when inappropriate for the study design. For binary outcomes, mixed-effect logistical regression was…

▼ Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
The game of golf is constantly evolving and elite players now use a number of strategies to maximize performance. One of these approaches is an increased focus on physical conditioning including resistance training. This has led to the suggestions that amateur and junior golfers may also benefit from physical conditioning. Analysis of golf reveals that there is substantial physiological demand placed on the body in order to repeat a consistent and accurate high-speed golf swing. Junior golfers are potentially susceptible to poor golf swing mechanics and potential risk of injury if they lack the required strength and mobility to produce and control force and maintain posture during the golf swing. Therefore the purpose of this research was to 1) establish what has been published in the literature relating to strength and conditioning programs designed to improve golf-related fitness characteristics and golf performance, and 2) design and evaluate a 12-week resistance-training program for adolescent golfers designed to enhance strength characteristics and golf performance. The findings from the review suggest that strength and conditioning programs can have a positive effect on the golf swing and fitness characteristics. However there is large gap in in regards to the development of junior golfers. As golf is a high skill sport, habits formed during the development years can impact performance both positively and negatively at a later stage, which can influence long-term success in the sport. The intervention study used a quasi-experimental design where junior golfers (n= 30) were recruited and allocated to either an intervention (n = 20) or a control (n = 10) group for the 12-week study period. Sessions were ran twice a week for the intervention period with each session focusing on the full body and including exercises that utilised body weight and/or elastic resistance apparatus. Physical assessments consisting of single leg squat, modified push-ups, side bridge hold, sit and reach, and shoulder mobility were conducted at baseline and 12-weeks. Individual handicap was used as a measure of on-course golf performance. The intervention resulted in strength increases with all variables showing high to moderate effect sizes (d = 0.64 to 0.96). There was a moderate reduction in golf handicap for the intervention group (d = 0.42). Therefore showing resistance training programs can positively affect strength characteristics in junior golfers, which may influence golf handicap. This is one of the first studies to investigate the effects of resistance training on junior golfers’ fitness and performance. This study found that an entry-level resistance-training program is beneficial to junior golfers with no prior resistance training. Future studies are needed to examine the effects of more advanced training programs for golfers with more resistance-training experience. Further investigation of the relationships between increases in physical fitness and a range of golf…

▼ The main purpose of this study was to study the current situation of
youth football project and its contribution to the main clubs in some
selected training centers in Arsi zone. The participants in this research
were consisted of 32 youth players, all 6 coaches of the teams and 2
main club coaches. The participants were selected by purposive and
random sampling method. The major instruments in this study were
questionnaire, interview and field observation. The questionnaires
were administered for both youth football players and coaches of the
team. To consolidate the information obtained from the questionnaire,
structured interview was conducted with 2 main clubs and non
participatory observation was used. The major finding of the study
related to the current situation of youth training centers indicated that,
absence of experienced and well educated coach, poor relationship
and communication among youth football project, main club staff and
sport administrators, inadequate sport facilities and dominance of
coach centered coaching. These findings will be useful to coaches and
players of other teams in Arsi zone and enable them to implement the
strategies and procedures perceived to lead youth football players to
success and future related research.

▼ Elite athletes have been reported to experience higher rates of various psychopathology, with the stress of competing at elite levels reported to exacerbate existing pathology (Brewer & Petrie, 1996). In particular, athletes have been noted to be susceptible to experiencing anxiety and depression during the transition out of elite level sport (Lavallee & Robinson, 2007; W. M. Webb, Nasco, Riley, & Headrick, 1998; Wylleman, Alfermann, & Lavallee, 2004), as well as being vulnerable to anxiety and stress during other transitions that they may encounter throughout their careers (Stambulova, Alfermann, Statler, & Cote, 2009). Additionally, elite athletes have been shown to be at risk in relation to their bodies, with athletes reported to have a higher prevalence of eating disorders, sub-clinical disordered eating (Johnson, Powers, & Dick, 1999; Milligan & Pritchard, 2006; Sundgot- Borgen & Klungland Torstveit, 2004), and the Female
Athlete Triad – a combination of disordered
eating, amenorrhea and osteoporosis or osteopenia (Mendelsohn & Warren, 2010; Schtscherbyna, Soares, & de Oliveira, 2009; Yeager, Agostini, Nattiv, & Drinkwater, 1993), than non-
athlete
populations, as well as being more susceptible to Social Physique Anxiety (Haase, 2009). Within the sport psychology literature that examines the incidence of psychopathology in
athletes, the theoretical construct of ‘
athlete identity’ has frequently been positively associated with athletes’ experiences of distress, including in relation to transition difficulties (e.g., Grove, Lavallee, & Gordon, 1997; Lally, 2007; Lavallee & Robinson, 2007; Lotysz & Short, 2004), and the development of
disordered eating (Jones, Glintmeyer, & McKenzie, 2005; Papathomas & Lavallee, 2006). Thus, within sport psychology
athlete identity is considered to be a theoretically and practically important construct for understanding athletes’ experiences (Brewer, 1993; Brewer, Van Raatle, & Linder, 1993). However, within the extant sport psychology literature, identity has typically been conceptualised as athletes’ level of identification with the
athlete role and has traditionally been researched via questionnaire methods or content analyses of interview data. Such methodological approaches have been critiqued for being reductionist and overlooking complexity and detail (Finlay & Faulkner, 2003; Locke, 2004; Wilkinson, 2000), while role theory approaches have been criticised for treating identity as stable and unchanging, and located within the individual (Antaki & Widdicombe, 1998b). Thus, rather than treat identity as an inner identification or essence which then guides subsequent action and behaviour, the present research adopts a discursive psychological approach to exploring identity. From this perspective, identity is instead viewed as located within discursive practices and as produced, ascribed and accomplished within language (Antaki & Widdicombe, 1998b; Davies & Harre, 1990; Edley, 2001). The aim of adopting an alternate approach is to build on the existing sport psychology…

▼ This thesis explores the perceptions of retired elite Canadian Taekwondo athletes regarding their National Sport Organization’s responsibilities for reporting, managing, and preventing athletes’ mental health issues. Using qualitative interviews and a situational analysis of the data, results show that the majority of those interviewed in this study struggled with a mental health issue while competing at an elite level, and all of the participants reported seeing a teammate struggle, at one time or another, with a mental health issue. Participants in this study identified three major areas in which Taekwondo Canada can help athletes with mental health issues: 1) providing education to coaches and athletes; 2) providing a reporting structure that is independent and confidential, and; 3) providing greater access to sport psychologists on an ongoing basis.

▼ ABSTRACT
Introduction: Injury has been seen to have many factors and mechanisms during each individual sport. The functional movement screening (FMS) is a tool that allows for an individual mobility and stability in a fundamentally dynamic movement patterns to show limitations and asymmetries in movement performance based of a seven functional movement patterns and three clearing screens. Researchers have found some evidence that show scoring less than 14 may be related to increase injury. Research Question: Does FMS provide a systematic tool to monitor progress and movement pattern development that identify individuals injury throughout a season? Method: Study design is descriptive research. Obtaining FMS scores prior to the start of the season and assessing the relationship of injury in the athletes. University of North Dakota
Athlete (n=84) was recruited during the fall season. The descriptive statistics and correlation data (Pearson’s or Spearman rho) was used in this study. Results of correlation data: Football- FMS lower and U1noncontact (r = .27, p = 0.053) soccer- TScore and L1 contact (r = 0.569, p = 0.34), FMS lower body score and L1contact (r = 0.6, p= .021), FMS lower and L2contact (r = -0.5, p = 0.059), FMS upper body score and L1 Noncontact (-0.547, p = 0.043), tennis – no significance; the Chi-Squared analysis did not produce any significant differences when TSscore was binned at 14 or when FMS upper and lower were binned at their midpoints. Conclusion: The FMS is not specific to injury mechanisms and the multiple injury mechanisms that are possible in all different sports. The results from our study do not support the use of the FMS as a screening tool for injuries in colligate athletes participating in football, soccer and tennis. Mechanisms for injury should be used to develop an approach of a correct prevention programs throughout a college sports program. The key component to the expanding understanding of the traditional biomechanical approach to prevent injury in these athletes is continue to better are assessment tool.

▼ Adequate caloric and carbohydrate intakes are necessary for positive adaptations to exercise training, yet there is limited research examining dietary intake in relation to strength and power in female athletes. The purpose of this study was to determine 1) whether there were significant changes in weekly total caloric and macronutrient consumption, strength, and power, and 2) whether total caloric and macronutrient consumption significantly and positively contributed to changes in strength and power across a controlled eight-week, off-season resistance training program. Eleven collegiate-level female volleyball players were examined on macronutrient consumption, strength, and power at two-week intervals using three-day food logs, 3-repetition maximum bench press and back squat, and vertical jump, respectively. Five assessments were conducted on each
subject for the aforementioned variables. Paired samples t-tests showed improvements in body mass index, lean body mass, percent body fat, and lower body strength and power following eight weeks of training (p < .05) despite no significant changes in total calories or macronutrients. Results of a weighted regression analysis indicated that both total caloric consumption and carbohydrate intake influenced lower body power after training (p < .05). However, nutrient intake did not impact strength or power at any of the two-week intervals. We believe these findings are related to the neuromuscular adaptations that occur early in training. A longer resistance training program resulting in gains in muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) may be necessary to further examine the contribution of calories and macronutrients to performance-related variables.

▼ Bakgrund/problemformulering: Tankar och känslor kring träning och kost bland elitidrottande ungdomar är något som tidigare undersökts i begränsad utsträckning. Därför finns det anledning att ta reda på ungdomarnas egna uppfattningar och erfarenheter inom området. Syfte: Att undersöka hur idrottsaktiva ungdomar som tränar eller tävlar på elitnivå, eller för att nå elitnivå, tänker och känner kring träning och träningsvanor samt kring kost och kostvanor. Metod och design: För denna studie användes kvalitativ metod med deskriptiv design. Data insamlades genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med fem elitidrottande ungdomar. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys tillämpades. Resultatsammanfattning: Träning var en central del i livet. Starka motivationsfaktorer var den inre drivkraften och träningskompisarna. Skador, sjukdom och andra motgångar påverkade idrottarna negativt. Idrottarna planerade sina måltider för att maximera prestationen. Medvetenheten kring kostens påverkan var hög, likaså kunskapen kring livsmedlen. Mat väckte både positiva och negativa känslor. Omgivningen visades ha betydande roll för idrottarna. Slutsats: Deltagarna i studien var motiverade, målinriktade samt medvetna om sina tränings- och kostvanor. Flera uppgav att det var svårt att lyssna på kroppen, framförallt vid skada eller sjukdom. Vidare forskning, i större skala, är nödvändigt för ökad kunskap inom området.
Background: What elite athlete adolescents think and feel about exercise and nutrition is vaguely examined, why there is reason to investigate the experiences and perceptions among these individuals. Purpose: To investigate the thoughts and feelings about exercise and nutrition among a group of elite athlete adolescents. Methods and design: A qualitative descriptive design was used for this study. Through semi-structured interviews with five elite athlete adolescents, data was obtained. A qualitative content analysis was used. Results: Exercise was central in the athletes’ lives. The biggest driving force was the motivation that came from themselves and their team-mates. Injuries, illness and other obstacles affected the athletes negatively. The athletes planned their meals to maximize the performance. The awareness of the importance of nutrition for performance was high, also the knowledge. Both positive and negative feelings were associated with food. The surroundings played an important role for the athletes. Conclusion: The participants of this study were motivated, determined and aware of their training habits and diet. It was hard to listen to the body, especially when injured or sick. More studies, in larger scale, are necessary to gain further knowledge in the field.

▼ The Rapid
Athlete Testing project stemmed from exploratory research partnership to assess the commercial viability of Auramer Bio’s aptamer-based biosensor in the field of testing athletes for signs of drug abuse and doping in sport. Within this project, we aimed to explore a side avenue for the device to ascertain further market exploration and to determine whether it could be a popular and profitable industry to enter.
The drug abuse and doping in sport industry is a worldwide cause and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) leads the charge as an individual governing body. Each nation has a government-affiliated body that facilitates the sample collecting and testing at one of the 34 WADA accredited labs around the world. The scope of the opportunity for the innovation and commercialisation of this project is immense as Auramer Bio’s device could be implemented on the grand worldwide scale.
This project and report aims to explore and analyse the development and commercialisation potential of the device for Auramer Bio. The opportunity primarily lay in the evaluation of a suitable business and product development strategy, understanding the scope of the industry and a thorough analysis of similar technologies and competitor products.
In order to delve into this regimented and secretive industry to extract the necessary information and assess the viability of our goal, we first needed to find where we could obtain these sources of information and what we needed to ask them. For the true development of the project, we explored several business and development strategies to ensure the right methodology was being carried out for the device. We assessed our most direct competition and investigated the development strategies of similar technologies. Next, we began to reach out and connect with organisations involved with the drug testing in sport industry, as well as those indirectly involved and those affected by it. We directly interviewed candidates from Drugfree Sport NZ, the Australian Sports Drug Testing Lab (ASDTL) and were even fortunate enough to have a survey for WADA answered.
Through our investigation, we found many key inefficiencies within the industry that our device could exploit to create a viable niche. Our research participants confirmed our base theories and assumptions, whilst also delivering vital information that allowed us to pivot accordingly. We have also found an amiable starting point for the device’s prototype and a direction for the future. With the help of one of our research participants, we were able to isolate a plan for our path to market and our hopeful future WADA accreditation for the device.
The Rapid
Athlete Testing project has sought out the knowledge of several key industry representatives, the athletes and coaches themselves and has networked effectively to create a practical starting point for Auramer Bio’s aptamer based biosensor within a firmly structured industry. If managed successfully in the future, the work from this project could take the device to the world stage and…

▼ Concussions have reached epidemic levels. There is no cure for concussions. Measures taken to reduce concussions have not been effective. The majority of research is focused on concussion causation and concussion management after the fact. The research continues but the number of concussions in athletics increases each year.
No methodical approach to producing a specific protocol to strengthen the head and neck muscles exists and no systematic study of increase in neck musculature attributed to such a protocol is documented. Thus, this study will produce a standardized methodology for the reduction of concussive and subconcussive forces, laying the foundation for further research in this area.
The research participants were healthy male and female college students, age range 18-24. There were 30 participants. Of the 30 subjects used for this study, 18 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 12 participants in the control group. The participants followed a protocol consisting of 13 movements designed to sequentially train the musculature of the head, neck and upper back. The duration of the study was 8 weeks.
The strength increases were significant in the active participant group. The hypertrophy of the head and neck muscles was equally as significant and even more impressive in the male group. The females exhibited minimal muscle hypertrophy. Every active participant experienced strength increases during the eight week study; likewise each active male participant exhibited neck circumference increases. The control group experienced negligible strength or hypertrophy increases.

▼ Advances in athlete monitoring practices are permeating from elite, professional sports to sub-elite and amateur programmes through continuous developments in both the technology itself and the underpinning research. Sports practitioners utilise data in new ways to find a competitive edge, encouraged by an expectation of excellence from athletes who are now more knowledgeable than ever. However, the introduction of technology to a process is not without its challenges, and whilst new methods in sports performance analysis have been game-changing, the use of athlete self-report measures seems yet to realise its potential. As a relatively new progression, there is a dearth of evidence on mobile athlete self-report measures (M-ASRM), particularly in team sports. It remains unclear what the appropriate and inappropriate uses of M-ASRM data are, and how measure design and implementation affect this utility. This programme of research utilised mixed methods to investigate the applications of M-ASRM in elite Gaelic games. Through reviews of the market and the literature, objective analyses of M-ASRM data and exploration of stakeholder experiences, the findings of this thesis have illuminated the concept of M-ASRM in athlete monitoring, by identifying what they are and what they are not, informing their appropriate use cases and the requirements for successful implementation in team sport. Findings from the quantitative methods suggest that rigorous instrument development and implementation in large, controlled studies are required to understand pertinent interpretation of M-ASRM data and use in objective or predictive analysis models. Findings from the qualitative methods suggest established subjective value in communication and information disclosure, remote athlete management, informing decision making and facilitating advanced planning. However, significant barriers to use were identified through an underestimation of the requirements for successful implementation. The challenges related to the measure itself and its limitations, but largely concerned the human factors in recording, reviewing, disseminating and acting on data, in addition to forging stakeholder understanding and engagement. The results of the research are triangulated and underpinned in technology acceptance theory, concluding with the development of considerations for successful M-ASRM implementation in team sport.

▼ Pre-participation screening (PPS) inclusive of an ECG for young, competitive athletes has been endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and a number of international sporting organisations, in an effort to identify the small number of athletes who may be at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to underlying cardiac conditions such as cardiomyopathies.
Whereas most previous reports of the prevalence of ECG abnormalities have been derived from relatively unselected cohorts of young, sub-elite Caucasian athletes, the population undergoing screening in Australia are elite athletes, performing at the highest level in their chosen sports. We screened over 1200 elite Australian athletes to assess the prevalence of abnormal ECG findings in this cohort and whether they identified underlying cardiac abnormalities, to test whether revised ECG criteria improved the accuracy of screening, to examine whether abnormal ECGs were more common in endurance athletes and to explore possible mechanisms for common ECG changes in endurance athletes.
Using current criteria for ECG interpretation, almost 1 in 5 elite athletes were classified as having an abnormal ECG, necessitating follow-up to exclude serious cardiac pathology. However, the prevalence of underlying cardiac pathology was very low (0.3%). Applying more refined ECG interpretation criteria, the number of athletes classified as abnormal was reduced to 1 in 20 and the small number with pathology still identified. However, a significant limitation to screening was identified as it was demonstrated that reproducibility of ECG interpretation between experienced physicians was at best moderate, and cardiac pathology missed on 50% of occasions. The patterns and prevalence of ECG changes in indigenous as compared to non-indigenous Australian athletes were evaluated and whilst the overall prevalence of ECG abnormalities was similar, patterns of early repolarisation associated with increased arrhythmic risk were found to be strongly associated with indigenous ethnicity, the significance of which remains uncertain.
Abnormal ECGs were twice as prevalent in endurance as compared to non-endurance athletes, largely due to a 3-fold higher prevalence of right precordial T-wave inversions. Utilising cardiac MRI, it is demonstrated that in healthy endurance athletes these T-wave inversions can be explained by cardiac displacement with respect to the surface ECG leads.
This thesis identifies limitations in the process of ECG screening which need to be addressed in order to improve the efficacy of screening, confirms the hypothesis that more exercise results in more profound ECG changes, and offers a mechanistic explanation for these findings.

▼ Background Estimates of 1.6 million to 3.8 million concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) occur annually in adolescent athletes participating in contact sports (Daneshvar et al., 2011). Current clinical guidelines call for interventions to include education, assessment, screening, and long term management of injury by the adolescent's primary care provider (PCP) (Giza et al., 2013). Without proper knowledge of the injury's physiological process and progression, providers are possibly increasing the risk of continued brain injury in this population (Reddy & Collins, 2009). Purpose This doctorate of nursing practice project aimed to determine if a gap existed between provider knowledge about the current guidelines for management of mTBI in adolescent athletes of Arizona. Knowledge obtained from this survey could be further used to drive practice change. Methods A quantitative needs assessments study was conducted via data collection obtained through PCP's participation in an anonymous electronic survey using the survey software Qualtrics. Survey links were sent to potential participant's email addresses throughout Yuma County, AZ. An additional survey link was posted to the Arizona Nurses Association e-newsletter. The survey consists of 28 questions divided into three categories of demographics, knowledge, and practice questions. Outcomes Survey results were limited due to only 21 providers responding to the request for participation. From this sampling, it was determined that participant's clinical knowledge and practice related to screening, assessment, long term management, and continuity of care between the ED provider and follow up care with the primary provider were not congruent with current practice guidelines.

▼ Background: The American College of Sports Medicine defines the female
athlete triad (FAT) as interrelated components of energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density. High school athletes have likely not experienced a lengthy duration of exposure to disordered eating, amenorrhea, and low bone density compared to older athletes because of their young age; the purpose for screening and creating awareness is to educate before negative consequences reach full effect later in life and running career. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to screen high school distance runners for awareness and baseline knowledge of the components of FAT. Methods: Four surveys submitted to high school female athletes assessing FAT knowledge, a questionnaire assessing triad risk factors, calcium intake, and demographic information. Results: Significant findings include faster 5k times with a body mass index (BMI) under 18.5 mg/kg², increased calcium intake correlated with positive awareness to the FAT, and a higher FAT knowledge score correlating with triad awareness. Conclusion: The results from this study did not show a relationship between BMI and menstrual history, 5k time and menstrual history, and BMI and calcium intake. All of the athletes' responses indicated having one or more components of the triad. Education of the components of the triad is needed in high schools, and screening should be incorporated into preparticipation health physicals so as to ensure athletes minimize their risks for stress fractures and impaired bone health.

▼ In order to determine blood pressure changes during the football season and the causes of the changes in collegiate football athletes, forty-seven National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) division 1 athletes were recruited to participate in the study. Each participant had a pre-season, mid-season, and post-season blood pressure measurement taken. A questionnaire was completed at the mid- and post-season blood pressure assessments to determine blood pressure knowledge, dietary intake, and physical activity levels. An educational tool was provided in order to encourage knowledge growth regarding general blood pressure knowledge and causes of high blood pressure. Overall, blood pressure levels showed a decrease in both systolic (6.71 ± 12.3 mmHg) and diastolic (1.64 ± 8.71 mmHg) measures from the mid-season to post-season measurements. There were no notable changes in knowledge levels. Some significant positive changes were made in dietary intake, specifically in athletes eating more meals at home and fewer meals at the athletics’ cafeteria, and a decrease in sweet snack intake. Other significant changes took place in physical activity levels, specifically an increase in resistance training. The information gained from the study can be used in the future to improve blood pressure management in elite level college athletes.

▼ Sexual attraction (SA), as well as sexual (SBVs) and nonsexual boundary violations (NSBVs), have been identified as matters of ethical concern, being viewed as harmful within mental health or counseling relationships. Much of the literature in the area of SA and SBVs has focused on the counselor-client relationship, but it has been investigated only minimally in the field of sport psychology and specifically with regard to sport psychology professionals (SPPs). Because SA, SBVs, and NSBVs between SPPs and their client-athletes seem to be potentially problematic concerns in need of empirical investigation and practical scrutiny, the aim of this study was to examine: (a) the incidence of SBV and NSBV beliefs and behaviors among SPPs; (b) SPPs' feelings regarding SA for and from client-athletes; and (c) SPPs' willingness to seek supervision to manage their SA beliefs and behaviors towards client-athletes. SPPs (n = 365) completed the Survey of Applied Sport Psychologists (SASP) via e-mail or regular mail. As expected, SPPs experienced SA (40.6%) and generally did not experience strong feelings as a result of the SA. However, of the SPPs experiencing SA, 13.5% of males and 13.8% of females engaged in a SBV with a client-
athlete. NSBV behaviors and beliefs are also reported. Chi-squared analyses revealed male SPPs engaged in nonsexual touching with their client-athletes more frequently than female SPPs. T-tests suggested ethically trained SPPs were more likely to seek supervision as a result of SA and view certain NSBVs as good professional behavior in comparison to non-ethically trained SPPs. Appropriate supervision and ethical training for SPPs experiencing SA could be helpful in the management of potential future SBV or NSBV behaviors. Implications for SPPs working with athletes, limitations of the present study, and recommendations for future research are discussed.

▼ The perceived need of nutritional ergogenic aids among college students produces concern regarding the safety and efficacy of such aids. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the rationale and use of nutritional ergogenic aids in male college students ages 18-25. Students participated in an anonymous survey assessing nutritional ergogenic supplementation and rationale behind use. There was no significant difference in supplement use between competitive and non-competitive athletes (p=0.708). However, a significant difference in nutritional ergogenic aid use between heavy and light exercisers was noted, with heavy exercisers more likely to use supplements than light exercisers (p=0.041). The primary rationale behind supplement use was to provide energy (22%), enhance recovery (19.6%), and build muscle (19.4%). Participants were most likely to obtain information on supplements from friends (79%) or the internet (79%) therefore; universities should provide education on nutritional ergogenic aids by providing reputable sources of these products.

▼ This study explores the experiences of female athletes from New Zealand and Australia who migrate temporarily to play cricket in England. It locates the migration network of female cricket within the modern global sport space and challenges the overall
perception of what the typical global athlete is today.
The game of cricket has long been regarded as the ‘gentleman’s’ game and originated in England as an aristocratic sport, a symbol of wealth and hierarchy among the British elite. It has diffused into many Commonwealth countries and has developed into a game that is played by both sexes. This study is situated within the anthropology of sport and includes aspects of culture, identity, and gender in the globalised world we live in today. It offers a unique perspective because the research is conducted by a migrant female cricketer in the field and combines ethnographic and auto-ethnographic material.
Attention to the migration of female athletes has been minimal but research into this area of the sporting world raises a number of broader questions relating to sporting migration, personal/national identity, transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, diaspora, the gender divide in sport and globalisation. This study summarises some of the key literature relating to globalisation, sports migration, identity and gender, applying it anthropologically to the experiences of the migrant female cricketer.
The main finding is the movement of female cricketers from country to country is not influenced by the commodification of modern sport; instead the athletes are motivated by social and personal factors, as opposed to the material (monetary) ones that now apparently dominates contemporary sport. Movement reflects a basic migratory network that has developed between New Zealand, Australia and England, influenced by seasonal
migration, and the social, cultural and historical connections between the countries. The research offers a contrasting perspective on current sporting migration literature by
sharing the experiences of female athletes who migrate for sport and locating the findings within larger analytical concepts.

▼ Recovery protocols including cold water immersion (CWI) and whole-body cryotherapy (WBC), are to minimise the impact of symptoms of exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) after damaging exercise. This thesis aimed to systemically review the current body of knowledge on the efficacy of WBC as a recovery tool after EIMD; investigate the effect of a single 3min WBC or CWI exposure on peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) redistribution; and assess the effectiveness of WBC as a recovery treatment in comparison to CWI, after eccentric exercise. It is hypothesised that WBC may enhance the beneficial effects of cold recovery treatments that reduce the time take to recover from symptoms of EIMD. Mobilisation of immune cells required for recovery may be influenced by the colder temperatures of WBC is hypothesised to assist in athlete’s recovery. A systematic review on the literature (Chapter Two) found that despite methodological variations within studies, WBC reduced pain and improved muscle function after EIMD, with small, but significant, improvements in some markers of inflammation and muscle damage. The second study (Chapter Three) found a significant increase in PBMC subsets, CD8+ T cells (p=0.02) and CD56-CD16+ NK cells (p=0.01), after WBC compared to CWI and a control. Lastly, a randomised control trial found that neither WBC, nor CWI, improved the recovery of pain and muscle function, as well as concentrations of blood biomarkers such as CK and inflammatory mediators and cytokines after damaging exercise compared to the control. Despite these findings suggesting that a single WBC exposure does not influence the recovery of these markers of EIMD, the transient increase in PBMCs may in fact be beneficial in facilitating the process. Exposure to WBC may increase the availability of immune cells in circulation to affect the regenerative process after EIMD. These findings therefore add new avenue to the study of WBC in the context of recovery following exercise.

▼ Towards the last quarter of the 20th century the revenue stream of major sporting organisations increasingly moved away from gate receipts towards sponsor endorsement. The shift was due to developments in the communications industries, in particular colour television and then two decades later the digital revolution, both of which placed the images of sport and the products it endorsed before audiences at times numbering into the millions.Psychological studies reveal that the more a consumer ‘identifies’ with a sport the more likely he or she is to purchase sponsors products associated with that sport. The association between product and sport is the basis of the lucrative ‘endorsement market’.The sporting organisation and the
athlete are competitors in endorsement marketing. To combat this competition sporting organisations, as the dominant party, incorporated terms into player contracts restraining their athletes from engaging in endorsement marketing. This thesis argues that such restrictions are unreasonable under the common law restraint of trade doctrine. This thesis also considers the unique relationship between athletes and their sporting organisation and how changes in technology prompted courts to accept sport as an industry amenable to the restraint of trade doctrine.The application of the restraint of trade doctrine is a matter of policy. It is argued that an historical freedom of trade and the response of courts to changing technological paradigms are pertinent guides as the world enters the uncertain commerce of the digital age. A ‘21st century’ policy response under the restraint of trade doctrine is argued as necessary.It is argued that certain endorsement concessions granted by sporting bodies to athletes that give the appearance of a ‘partial restraint of trade’ are in fact so impractical that the overall unreasonableness of endorsement restraints cannot be offset.It is proposed that the
athlete's persona, a trait that makes endorsement marketing so effective, is in fact an extension of the
athlete's subjective property’ and cannot be claimed by the organisation.This thesis considers in some detail the sporting organisations contractual claim to what is referred to as the ‘cyber-markets’. These ‘new’ market structures require a modern policy reappraisal argued to favour the
athlete.The thesis closes by examining what are referred to a ‘multiple restraints of trade in sport’ suggesting that any review of the reasonableness of endorsement restraints can only accurately be appraised by considering the accumulated impact of multiple restraints on individual athletes.
