Managing sport for social change: The state of play

Sport-for-development (SFD) provides a platform for sport to be used as a tool or “hook” to contribute to positive outcomes in areas including economic development, social inclusion, cultural cohesion, healthy lifestyles, education, gender equity, as well as reconciliation and peacebuilding. The area of sport for social change (SFSC) represents a sub-field of SFD that uses sport as a catalyst to build social capacity and develop socially and physically healthy communities. The Managing Sport for Social Change special issue of Sport Management Review brings together a collection of conceptual advances, empirical research papers and teaching case studies from a range of social and cultural perspectives, with a focus on managing sport for social change; aimed at engaging critically with sport management theory and praxis, and discussing associated practical and policy implications. Theoretical gaps and recommendations for future research, including: local engagement, innovative research methodology, and a broadening of the scope of research are also discussed.     

Modelling the decision to volunteer in organised sports

Using a heterodox economic approach, the purpose of this paper is twofold: to analyse the determinants of (1) volunteering in organised sports, and (2) time committed to that volunteering. By means of regression analysis of secondary data from a nation-wide volunteer survey with two waves (2004: n = 15,000; 2009: n = 20,005), it was established that human capital, female gender and the motive of shaping society had a negative influence on the decision to volunteer while the number of engagements in other volunteering had a positive effect. Time committed to volunteering was determined by male gender, having children, meeting people, club membership, shaping society and number of voluntary engagements. The volunteer workforce is thus very heterogeneous; however, sport club managers should recruit volunteers in particular amongst existing members.     

文献综述的归类划分与特征辨析--体育学硕士研究生能力培养和学术规范的反思

文献综述依据综述的目的和文本的性质可分为：学术性文献综述与研究性文献综述。学术性文献综述,是在学术层面、因学术问题而作的文献综述,其成果可以直接在学术刊物上发表。学术性文献综述具有以下文本特征：强调权威性以保证学术基调和保持学术品味;强调经典性以明晰学术走向和把握学术格局;强调前沿性以判断学术态势和突破学术僵持;强调导向性以凸显学术预测和实现学术引领。研究性文献综述,不是相对独立的、完整意义上的研究,而是为保证研究流程有理、有据、有效进行的必要学术准备,具有较大的研究从属性,通常是不能直接或不宜直接在学术刊物上发表。对于硕士研究生的培养,研究性文献综述具有以下阶段特征：选题阶段立足发现问题;开题阶段立足提出问题;结题阶段立足认识问题。     

少林禅武思想对空中极限运动内在价值的诠释

以少林禅武思想作为“他者的视角”对空中极限运动的内在价值进行诠释,将西方哲学视域下的“自我肯/否定”补充和升华至无念无住的无我之境,为生活在“常人”世界的当代人通向本真之路另辟一条蹊径.

论运动素质转移与运动项目迁移的关系* ——以健美操与体育舞蹈、体操为例

运动素质是可以相互转移的,各个运动项目需要的身体素质不尽相同,但他们之间都是可以相互转移的。通过描述了多个运动项目之间的身体素质之间的关系和转移,主要介绍了竞技健美操与体育舞蹈之间素质的转移,说明,每个项目需要的身体素质不同,运动员都要朝着正迁移的方向来进行训练。     

高脚竞速发展现状研究

文章运用文献资料法,对有关民族传统体育、高脚竞速等方面的文献资料进行收集整理,了解到近年来我国高脚竞速项目的研究主要集中在“运动员选材及损伤、运动技术及训练方法、竞赛规则、项目开展状况”等四个方面,并提出高脚竞速应加强“基础理论研究、应用性研究的深度、高脚竞速的市场”等方面的研究.

基于解释结构模型的体育消费行为影响因素研究

我国体育消费需求不高,总体消费水平偏低,体育消费能量没有得到充分释放,所以研究体育消费行为显得尤为重要。采用文献资料法和解释结构模型方法,分析了我国体育消费行为影响因素。研究表明：体育消费行为影响因素可分为六个层级,它们相互关联;体育消费途径和体育产品价格是影响体育消费行为的直接原因,而国家与地区经济发展和社会文化环境是影响体育消费行为的根本原因。     

Examining the participation patterns of an ageing population with disabilities in Australia

Social policies facilitate equity of access for participation in physical activity by all groups of people in society. While the sport participation of able-bodied people has been widely examined, much less attention has been given to the participation of people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the patterns of participation in physical activity of people with disabilities. Based on the leisure constraint theory, a theoretical framework is developed that describes participation as a function of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural constraints. The framework is tested using a comprehensive sample of people in Australia from 2009 and 2010. From the dataset a sub-sample of people with disabilities was identified (n = 4342). As 78.1% of participants were aged 45 years and older, the sample represents an ageing population and a selected segment of the population of people with disabilities. Therefore, generalisations to disability sport need to be made with caution. The results show that 57% of the respondents participate in physical activity for an average of 4 h per week. The regression results indicate that the type of disability, the extent to which the person is restricted by the disability, age, gender, and education have a significant effect on participation. People with high workloads who are in a relationship participate less frequently. The cluster analysis resulted in two non-participant clusters and three participant clusters. The results inform policy makers and sport managers on ways to better support the participation of people with disabilities and specifically target their needs.
