Abstract:
AbstractProduct success depends on its capacity to meet users’ expectations. Human Centred Design approach helps to reach this success by focussing on users’ needs in the design process. These needs are as well functional as hedonic. Designing products requires then to design hedonic properties affecting users’ perception. For sport products, people wants to improve their performances while maintaining their health. Sport products are then considered not only “sporty” but also “healthy”. Thus, integrating both health and sport expectations into the design process are necessary.Last decades, Affective Engineering was developed to integrate perception into the design process. Applying this approach for sport products may allow defining and mixing sport and health perceptual characteristics all along the design process. However, defining these characterisitics into requirements implies to translate them into semantic terms. If we observe semantic descriptors for sport products and for health products, they seem opposite. In this paper, we aim defining a semantic space representative and respectful of both domains, sport and health, while they oppose.

Abstract:
The term context has been used in a large number of research articles, but context does not, as yet, have a universally accepted definition. Sport is also a term subject to multiple definitions. Therefore, there is a need for caution when trying to identify unfamiliar and familiar research contexts in sport.

Abstract:
With the evolution of technology, its applicability in a large number of fields has always been a benefit. It is not surprising that the world of sports has gained a lot from technological discoveries. Applying certain improvements of this kind in sports has not only been a great advantage, but in some cases, it can be said that it has revolutionized this world of competition. In the paper "The impact of technology on the definition of sport" we try to present the development of technology in all fields, including sports, a number of advantages and disadvantages of this development and digitization, as well as a presentation of the most important technological discoveries in the world of sports.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the evolution of the concept of sport and the changing sport participation patterns in Europe. The concept of sport has evolved under the influence of the “Sports for All” philosophy. The entire Sports for All campaign has helped open up the definition of sport. Its borders have been shifted, both for participants and scientists. There are now more sports than ever, and more physical activities are considered sports. Sport participation is a result of a complex set of factors: facilities and organizations, patterns of sport socialization, personal motivations, and also the current changes taking place in society. In this discussion, special attention is paid to the relationship between sport socialization and sport participation patterns.

Abstract:
Background: Return to sport (RTS) commonly serves as a measure for assessment of clinical outcomes in orthopaedic sports medicine surgery. Unfortunately, while RTS is commonly utilized in research for this purpose, currently there is no widely accepted or standardized definition for when an athlete has officially returned to his or her sport. Purpose: To conduct a systematic review to evaluate and report the differences in specific definitions of RTS utilized in the orthopaedic surgery literature. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic review was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Trials databases per PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Search terms consisted of variations of “RTS” combined with variations of “orthopedic surgery” and “define” to capture as many relevant articles as possible. The definition of RTS was recorded and analyzed. Results: A total of 718 articles were identified in the initial search, 29 of which met eligibility criteria, providing a clear definition of RTS. Of the 29 studies included, 20 (69.0%) defined RTS as an athlete competing in a game or other competitive play. Three (10.3%) defined this as the athlete competing in a game or other competitive play but with an explicitly stated competition-level modifier of the athlete returning to his or her preinjury level of competition. Two articles (6.9%) included returning to training or practice, and the remaining 4 articles (13.8%) used terminology other than the standard RTS. Conclusion: There is variability in the definition of RTS used in orthopaedic sports medicine literature. Most studies refer to the athlete competing in a game or other competitive play. Other variants include returning to practice/training and explicitly defined competition levels and objectives. Future studies should aim to standardize the definition of RTS to facilitate more precise assessment of outcome after sports medicine surgery. Using terminology that describes components of the recovery and rehabilitation process, such as “return to participation” and “return to performance,” in addition to RTS will allow us to more clearly understand the athlete’s recovery and associated level of competition or performance.

Abstract:
In 2019, Jim Parry, a sport philosophy and Olympic scholar, wrote an article entitled “E-sports are not sports”. While their position is admirable, their commentary is rife with inaccuracies. In short, Parry panders two key myths that sour a balanced discussion of esports as a sport: (1) esports is seeking to become an Olympic sport, and (2) esports does not fit the definition, however arbitrary, of sport. In this response piece, both myths are dispelled and, ultimately, esports is positioned as a form of modern sport that should be accepted (but perhaps not actively supported) by traditionalists. The argument is made that sport can fall into either traditional or modern forms, and that given more technological innovations are on the way, it is critical that sport is not restrictive and remains inclusive to new forms.

Abstract:
With the rapid expansion of e-sports, the e-sports federation in Sweden seeks legitimacy and support in their efforts to gain recognition as a real sport. With this background, a bill has been proposed to the National Sports Association of Sweden to include the movement as a member of the organization. Thus, granting the official legitimacy and support that the e-sports movement seeks as a sport. The purpose if this study was to examine how sports clubs perceive e-sports to see if they think it has a place within the context of a traditional sports club. The method used to retrieve this data was semi-structured interviews with key decision makers within the sports clubs randomly chosen within a specific county. The purpose was examined by breaking it down into three key questions, which were then used as headlines in the result. The results of the study are that there is a willingness among most of the sports clubs to begin the work of integrating e-sports within the club, but there were requirements. One of them was drift from the starters so that the board of direction can keep doing what they do, thus they want the e-sports section to operate on its own. Another requirement was that those who wish to start the e-sports sections know the economic parameters, preferably. The less enthusiastic leaders who did not wish to integrate e-sports still wished to learn more about e-sports as they saw that it will keep expanding, these leaders were however somewhat doubtful of how an e-sports club could be integrated into a sports club and what benefits there might be for both parties in this cooperation.

Abstract:
La presente etude a pour ambition de rendre compte des transformations de la definition de l'alpinisme entre 1874 et 1986, par l'identification des groupes sociaux qui exercent sur cet univers une autorite symbolique dominante. La reference au cadre theorique du structuralisme genetique nous a permis d'inscrire cette evolution historique dans la perspective de la constitution du monde des alpinistes en champ social particulier. L'analyse du programme elabore par les instances de direction du club alpin francais dans les annees 1900, permet de preciser leur projet culturel dans le debat qui divise alors les differentes fractions de la classe dominante a propos de la formation des futures elites. La definition de l'alpinisme apparait des lors comme l'enjeu d'une opposition entre les elites intellectuelles, proches des secteurs les plus nobles de la culture legitime, et le groupe des elites synarchiques en cours de constitution. L'excursionisme cultive qui cherche a promouvoir une forme de tourisme savant, l'elitisme technique qui se dote dans les annees 1920 de disposions statutaires selectives au sein du groupe de haute montagne et les partisans de la diffusion educative de l'alpinisme constituent les trois poles de structuration des rapports de force et de sens dans cet espace social particulier. Au debut des annees 1950, l'alpinisme classique qui se definit comme un sport certes mais comme un sport a part, va servir de reference pour tous les pratiquants qui souhaitent se demarquer des sports competitifs federaux. Malgre divers manifestations de contestation, ce modele culturel continue d'occuper aujourd'hui encore, une position dominante dans le champ de l'alpinisme, comme le montre l'echec relatif de l'introduction des competitions officielles d'escalade a la fin des annees 1980

Abstract:
Le badminton est pratiqué par un cercle restreint d’adeptes, de son introduction en France, jusqu’à 1979, contrairement à d’autres sports modernes apparus au même moment et qui deviennent des phénomènes culturels de masse. Cette thèse met en évidence un ensemble de facteurs limitant l’essor du badminton et sa fabrique en tant que sport reconnu comme tel. L’activité se pare progressivement de traits de sports modernes à partir de la naissance du club de Dieppe, en 1907 (une institution, une codification uniforme, des compétitions, un classement, la recherche de progrès, un entraînement de plus en plus rationnel, des cadres formés), elle est pourtant difficilement perçue comme un « vrai sport ». « Jeu de fillettes », « sport de plage », les représentations héritées de son ancêtre supposé, le jeu du volant, lui sont attachées et persistent. Considéré comme jeu, il n’attire pas les pratiquants en quête de « sport sérieux ». Il est pourtant défendu comme tel par ses adeptes et l’est par l’organisation qu’en propose son institution dirigeante. Faute de masse de joueurs importante, les pratiques ne sont pas suffisamment visibles pour faire changer les représentations. À ce cercle vicieux se rajoute un ensemble d’éléments qui ne permettent pas à l’activité d’être visible. Le badminton est d’abord une activité distinctive, réservée à une élite sociale. Il s’organise ensuite en tant que sport alternatif au tennis, jusqu’à être placé sous tutelle de la FFLT en 1944, sans pour autant parvenir à convaincre les adeptes de la balle jaune. Sur le plan international, l’équipe de France de badminton fait pâle figure. Les politiques fédérales, sans moyens, sont inopérantes et l’absence d’infrastructures couvertes n’offre pas les conditions matérielles opportunes à une pratique de masse. Ces obstacles sont progressivement levés et conduisent à la renaissance de la Fédération française de badminton en 1979, mais ne suffisent à faire évoluer les représentations, plus fortes que des pratiques peu visibles
Badminton is practiced by a small circle of followers, from its introduction in France, until 1979, unlike other modern sports appeared at the same time and become mass cultural phenomena. This work highlights a set of factors limiting the rise of badminton and its manufactures as a sport recognized as such. The game is gradually built with modern sports features, from the birth of the Dieppe club, in 1907 (an institution, a uniform codification, competitions, a classification, search for progress, more and more rational training, trained executives), yet it is hardly perceived as a "real sport". "Girl's game", "beach sport", herited representations from her supposed ancestor, the battledore and shuttlecock, are attached to badminton and persist. Considered a game, it does not attract practitioners seeking a "serious sport". It is however defended as such by its followers and is by the way of practicing that proposes its governing institution. Due to the lack of a large mass of players, practices are not visible enough to change representations. To this vicious circle is added a set of elements that do not allow the activity to be know. Badminton is primarily a distinctive activity, reserved for a social elite. Then, badminton his organized as an alternative sport to tennis, placed under the supervision of the FFLT in 1944, without being able to convince the yellow ball followers. On the international level, the French badminton team is poor. Federal policies, without means, are ineffective and the lack of covered infrastructure does not provide conditions for mass practice. These obstacles are gradually lifted and lead to the renaissance of the French badminton Federation in 1979, but are not enough to change the representations, stronger than not very visible practices

Abstract:
Diversity efforts implemented by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) hope to improve the Association through the addition of multiple voices in athletics. Notably, the Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) designation is intended to encourage and promote the involvement of female administrators in meaningful ways in the decision-making process in intercollegiate athletics. This role, created under Article 4.02.4 of the NCAA constitution, is to be filled by the highest ranking female in each NCAA athletic department or member conference (Levick, 2002; Raphaely, 2003). Given the evolving definition and nature of the SWA designation and of female managerial roles (Eagly & Karau, 2002), there exists a question as to whether the SWA designation has provided the scope of decision-making and authority suggested in the NCAA definition of the designation. Research must show if SWAs are able to use their power and give different opinions. It must also uncover if there is still a need for the SWA role and if the title is still appropriate for this designation.

Abstract:
An investigation of. quality practice in sport had the dual purposes of developing a conceptual model of quality practice arid proposing a definition of quality practice from the perspectives of expert coaches. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five expert coaches. The coaches were considered experts because they bad coached teams to World or National championships and worked with athletes who had attained recognizable excellence in their sports (All-American, Olympic Gold Medalist, or All-Pro). In addition the coaches represented individual team, male, and female sports. Analysis of the interviews was conducted using the qualitative methodology known as "grounded theory" (Glaser and Strauss, 1967) . Analysis of the interviews identified 138 meaningful bits of information ("meaning units" Tesch, 1990) . Results recommended a quality practice model consisting of four general dimensions. eight categories and 16 properties. The four general dimensions of the quality practice model were; a. personal factors of athletes, b. coaching philosophy, c. components of practice, and d. effort of athletes. The quality practice model that emerged represented a more comprehensive understanding of quality practice than had previously existed. The second purpose of the study was to propose a definition of "quality practice". The interviews with expert coaches suggested that quality practice as it pertained to sport was: "Quality practice is an effortful activity which is highly structured with specific goals and tasks aimed at thorough performance preparation. It is carried out with a total commitment of optimal intensity, energy, focus, awareness, enthusiasm and competitiveness. Results of the study suggested that "quality practice" existed in a conceptual and definable way. Expert coaches when discussing quality practice recognized the personal factors of athletes, had distinct coaching philosophies, carefully planned the components of practice; and consistently monitored the effort of the athletes.

Abstract:
Performance analysis is an objective method of gathering the data of performance, and generally transforms these observations into numerical data. Performance indicators, as well as a selection or elements of sucessful outcome, have often been used in order to feedback augmented information in performance analysis systems, but they have rarely been considered within the classification of performance analysis systems based on timing of analysis and feedback. The main aim of this study is to investigate performance indicators used within real-time and lapsed time systems so that the definitions of the performance indicators, the effectiveness of the performance indicators, their reliability and validity within real time analysis systems can be analyzed.

The purpose of this study was to discuss the confusion of “physical education” and “sports” in Taiwan. This study conducted through documentary analysis and context analysis to clarify the distinction between “physical education” and “sports” from the perspectives of semiotic and sports socialization. The results of this study are emphasized on the following aspects: 1. The conceptual basis of physical education comes from ‘education’ and its categorical base composes of ‘relation’, however, the classification of sports is ‘culture’ which has a categorical base of ‘substance’. The conceptual origin of physical education derived from ‘education’ not ‘physical’, therefore, the concept of physical education must be defined as the educational concept at first. Physical education was defined the as ‘relational concept’ and it was expressed with a function (PE=physical education, “a”=tutor, “b”=pupil, “c”=teaching materials, “|”=conditioning, “P”=purpose) as follows: “PE=f (a’, b’, c’ |P’)”. 2. This study adopted the investigation method of the context analysis, picked out fourteen Taiwanese media, the result of income was as follows: (1) Among the eight Taiwanese media, seven media reported sports phenomenon as “physical education news”, only the China Times reported sports phenomenon as “sports news”. 3. From the semiotic perspective, the interpreter played a very important role in interfering the meaning of symbol. Therefore, the interpreter, media of Taiwan, misunderstood the concepts of “physical education” and “sports” is one of the important reasons why the Taiwanese misunderstood the concepts of “physical education” and “sports”.

Abstract:
The report attempts to present the interrelationship between sports and tourism in two interrelated areas - sports and tourism. Tourism is considered as a means of physical activity, physical education and sports, realized through the forms of sports and tourism. A definition based on the scientific discipline "Theory and Methodology of Physical Education" is derived. The report continues with a presentation of the links between sport and tourism in the tourism industry, forming the alternative type - sports tourism. A literature review was made, on the basis of which a definition of sports tourism was derived. In conclusion, the interconnectedness and influence of the two sectors is summarized, which has a favorable impact on the possibility for their development.

Abstract:
The wide variety of the components of signs stems from verbal communication to visual gestures, ciphers, images, music, and Morse code. Barthes’ Semiotic Theory restructured the theory of analyzing signs and allowed for a new understanding and interpretation of signs through seeing diverse cultures and societies. Saussure’s definition of the sign as a combination of signifier and signified led Barthes to further elucidate sign as connotative (cultural) and denotative (literal) processes. Semiotics can be applied to all aspects of life, as meaning is produced not in isolation but in totality, establishing multiple connotations and denotations. In the article “The World of Wrestling” published in Mythologies (1957), Barthes focused on images portrayed by the wrestler resulting in understanding of the wrestler’s image and the image of spectator. In Morse code, gestures can make any sport a spectacle of suffering, defeat and justice, representation of morality, symbols, anger, smile, passion etc., from which derive denotative and connotative meanings. Similarly, Thomas Sebeok identifies sign as one of six factors in communication, and which makes up the rich domain of semiotic research. These are message, source, destination, channel, code, and context. The present paper will focus on a dialogic relation between semiotics and sports, thus making it a text that reproduces meaning and represents certain groups. It focuses on various aspects of semiotics and their relation to sports. The paper also contemplates the versions and meanings of signs in sports that establish sport as an act of representation.

Abstract:
The article presents one of the alternative and popular forms of sports tourism - groundhopping. Groundhopping is carried out by football fans who want to get to know specific regions, locations or football stadiums they consider important or interesting. The aim of this theoretical paper is to define groundhopping in the context of sports tourism. The text is compiled on the basis of foreign literature and Czech experience with this phenomenon. The data are also based on interviews with Czech groundhoppers. As the main result of the text can be considered the definition of groundhopping and identified activities associated with this unusual form of tourism. Groundhopping may have significant impact (economic, social, cultural) on particular locations in the Czech Republic, which mainly refers to the specific football stadiums. The conclusions of this text can be used not only in regional development, but also in the sociology of sport or tourism. It can be assumed that groundhopping will develop dynamically also with regard to the fact that this activity is presented on social networks or specialized websites of football fans.

Abstract:
The article considers a set of indicators characterising motor activity in the adult population, as the definition of motor activity indicators of physical fitness and sport (MA) is considered in regulatory documents with different values. The present study examined the population distribution of average daily physical activity during the year, the limits of variability in quantitative measures of weekly physical activity, and preferred forms of exercise among the 1855 year old population of the Russian Federation (40,145 persons, including 14,677 men and 25,468 women) using the ONETRAK ecosystem and timekeeping of the week’s motor activity in adults (302 persons, 102 of them are males, and 200 are females). The population distribution of average daily physical activity during the year was found to be less than 4,000 steps per day for 18-27 year olds, and up to 4,475 steps per day for 28-55 year olds, an indication of low mobility. The amount of time spent on physical activity for the observation during the observed period characterises the physical activity boundaries of the economically active population within 30 min ± 10.5. The distribution of the volume of YES responses, expressed by the number of sessions during the week, shows a frequency of sessions in the range of 1-2 sessions (65.7%), 3 or more sessions are practiced by 26.3% of the respondents. Workout sessions take place in a freestyle format. Thus, our data confirms a low level of physical activity in the population aged 18 to 55. The identified physical activity indicators do not contribute to the cumulative effect of physical activity and the manifestation of the health-improving effect of physical education and sport activities.

Abstract:
Abstract The realization of sculptured shapes using CAD systems is still today a very complex and time consuming operation. For these reasons, design by physical modeling is still in use and remains in force in many industries (automotive, ski boots, sport articles). For the manufacturing of complex free-form surfaces, in situations in which it is more desirable to proceed from a physical model to a numerical definition rather than use mathematics to derive the physical part, copy milling techniques are widely used. This paper gives a brief overview about copy milling techniques for 3 axis copy milling machines, and proposes a feature based method to support an automatic tool path generation for the super-finishing phase. The proposed method is divided in two parts: super-finishing features recognition and tool path generation. Using copy milling techniques, the model of the object to be milled is obtained by digitizing. Therefore a global mathematical surface description of the model does not exist. In such a situation a model interpretation phase is required to recognize the super-finishing features and thus proceed to the tool path generation. A two step algorithm for super-finishing feature recognition on a digitized model is proposed: features arc recognized on the basis of the digitized point density and the normal vectors of the triangles generated by the surface reconstruction (based on Delaunay triangulation method). The tool path is then generated using a method based on the calculation of the Voronoi diagram on the area identified as super-finishing feature. The super-finishing feature recognition and tool path generation modules have been integrated as part of a more general CAM system for copy milling called HICAM. The architecture of such a system will be presented together with examples of solutions obtained by means of the use of the implemented prototype modules.
