Physiology in the Journal of Sports Sciences

Abstract

Doping in sports is commonplace. The prevention of harm to the athlete, the guarantee of fair play, and a level playing field for all competitors are the basis of the current anti-doping strategies. As healthcare systems are forced to allocate increasing resources to prevent and treat the prevailing pathologies worldwide, funding for anti-doping campaigns will necessarily be restricted. Ideally, additional resources should be devoted to increasing the number of athletes tested, the panels of tests used, and the frequency of out-of-competition controls. Since doping prevention cannot be considered a priority for most healthcare systems, such an approach is unaffordable and an alternative framework should be devised, focused primarily on harm reduction rather than fair play. The identification of abnormal deviations from reference values, regardless of pathological or artificial causes, would allow the athlete to be followed and tested using conventional laboratory tests, which are affordable to governments and healthcare systems and available to clinical laboratories. Although this strategy would not detect cheating, it would safeguard athletes' health.     

Twenty-five years of psychology in the Journal of Sports Sciences: a historical overview

We provide an overview of some of the outstanding papers published in the Journal over the last 25 years within the discipline of psychology. Altogether, almost 300 papers had been published in the Journal under the psychology banner at the start of its silver anniversary year. The greatest contribution of papers has come from the motor control and learning and sport psychology sub-areas, with papers focusing on exercise psychology being a more recent addition. Prominent research themes that have emerged from each of the different sub-areas are reviewed and some notable omissions highlighted. Finally, some issues for sport and exercise psychologists to consider in coming years are briefly highlighted.     

Nutrition and Biochemistry in the Journal of Sports Sciences: A call for papers and announcing the introduction of letters to the editor

Abstract

In association football, two similar but arguably different refereeing roles are required, those of the referee and assistant referee. Role specificity was investigated with a foul play assessment task and an offside decision-making task. Deliberate practice was investigated to account for role-specific differences. First, role specificity was clearly observed. Second, years of officiating, hours of practice per week, and number of matches officiated were each positively correlated with skill. The results support role specificity in association football refereeing. Further research should help to create role-specific perception and decision-making training programmes both for referees and assistant referees.     

什么是体育学--兼与《体育学》和《体育方法论的思考》等作者的商榷

体育学是以体育运动为研究对象的体育学科群的总称，也就是体育科学体系，是《学科分类与代码》国家标准设立的一个一级学科。文章还讨论和分析了几种对体育学的不同见解。     

体育社会科学的定位及与相关概念的关系

对体育社会科学上位和母体概念以及体育社会科学自身发展的历史进行考察,认为考察体育社会科学的必要背景为体育科学的“二分”或“三分”,不同分类下,体育社会科学分别指向广义和狭义的方面;在体育社会科学(狭义)与体育人文科学的分化和统一中把握体育社会科学具有重要意义,研究和考察体育社会科学应在体育社会科学(狭义)与体育人文科学之间保持合理的张力;体育哲学社会科学在一定时期下指向体育社会科学,但其正在逐渐淡化;体育学和体育理论均有多种取义,在一定语境下与体育社会科学具有兼容;普遍意义下,体育人文社会(科)学也与体育社会科学具有同指意义.     

我国学校体育设施对外开放中的致害责任探析

随着学校体育设施逐渐对社会开放,学校面临的风险也在不断增加,体育伤害问题就是其中之一。参加体育活动的人在学校体育设施中受 到伤害,可依据《侵权责任法》的相关规定请求赔偿。对学校体育设施致害的侵权责任,应当适用过错推定原则,其责任基础来源于学校或其他管 理人的安全保障义务。学校或其他管理人承担赔偿责任应当符合法定的构成要件,即损害事实、因果关系及不能证明自己没有过错。赔偿范围应 当限定为人身损害赔偿。同时,学校或其他管理人可依据侵权法的规定提出抗辩,以减轻或免除自己的责任。此外,在出现请求权竞合时,受害人 可择一而行使。     

体育学、体育科学与体育学科辨析

从表现形式、学理层面和历史发展对体育学、体育学科与体育科学3个概念的关系进行分析,认为3个概念既相互联系又相互区别,体育科学理论发展应以3个概念的区别为前提,确立以体育科学发展为先导,以体育学学科体系完善为基础,以各分支体育学科和新兴体育学科的发展为落脚点的发展思路.
