1. 16. Objective Analysis Methods in the Mechanics of Sports

   Författare :Mikael Swarén; Anders Eriksson; Vesa Linnamo; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sports equipment; test methods; sports mechanics; biomechanics; performance analysis; tracking; positioning system; pacing; alpine skiing; cross-country skiing; poles; helmets;

   Sammanfattning : Sports engineering can be considered as the bridge between the knowledge of sports science and the principles of engineering and has an important role not only in improving the athletic performance, but also in increasing the safety of the athletes. Testing and optimization of sports equipment and athletic performance are essential for supporting athletes in their quest to reach the podium. LÄS MER

3. 17. Talking talent : Narratives of youth sports selection

   Författare :Magnus Kilger; Mats Börjesson; Rickard Jonsson; Mikael Quennerstedt; Stockholms universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : In 2003, sixteen Swedish humanists proposed the idea of a communicative democracy. Same year, leading Scandinavian organizational theory scholars proposed that Scandinavian welfare states efforts to revitalize their democracies can be understood as ”a movement toward the development of a more charismatic and communicative model of leadership [where] focus has shifted to the organization of communication processes and the necessity of including several viewpoints in decision processes and public debates” (Byrkjeflot, 2003).

5. 19. Qigong : acute affective responses in a group of regular exercisers

   Författare :Mattias Johansson; Peter Hassmén; Anna Hertting; Torsten Norlander; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; qigong; affective responses; mind-body therapy; low-intensive physical activity; affect regulation; Sports research; Idrottsforskning; Idrottsvetenskap; Sports Science;

   Sammanfattning : Qigong is a Chinese mind-body therapy that aims to, through the use of movements, relaxed breathing and relaxation/meditation, create a healthy flow of life force, qi, in the body, and consequently improve health. A growing number of Qigong studies report beneficial effects on health and well-being. LÄS MER

7. 20. Computational Biomechanics in Cross-country Skiing

   Författare :Joakim L. Holmberg; Anders Klarbring; Ingrid Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer simulation; Inverse dynamics; Musculoskeletal; Optimization; Simulation model; Sports; Computational Biomechanics; Cross‐country Skiing; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Sammanfattning : Traditionally, research on cross‐country skiing biomechanics is based mainly on experimental testing alone. Trying a different approach, this thesis explores the possibilities of using computational musculoskeletal biomechanics for cross‐country skiing. As far as the author knows, this has not been done before. LÄS MER
