Abstract:
The article discusses macho culture in Israeli gyms. It describes male trainees’ efforts to preserve their dominance, facing female trainees’ threat to undermine it. The article analyzes means, such as military icons, physical battles, and vocal expressions, used to convey male dominance at the gym. Two gyms in the metropolis of Tel Aviv were studied by the male researcher for three years, and one suburban gym was studied by the female researcher for a year. Being researchers and trainees from both genders introduced a unique perspective of gender power relations at the gym. The different sociogeographic backgrounds of the studied gyms offered a refreshing understanding of the impact of specific circumstances on gender dominance. The analysis suggests that males’ hegemony can be threatened by potential women’s dominance, as the ethnography on the suburban gym reveals. Moreover, although men are struggling forcefully to preserve their dominance over “males’ territory” at the Tel Aviv gyms, women’s gradual penetration into the perceived masculine space destabilizes it.

Abstract:
Gymnodimines (GYMs), belonging to cyclic imines (CIs), are characterized as fast-acting toxins, and may pose potential risks to human health and the aquaculture industry through the contamination of sea food. The existing detection methods of GYMs have certain defects in practice, such as ethical problems or the requirement of complicated equipment. As novel molecular recognition elements, aptamers have been applied in many areas, including the detection of marine biotoxins. However, GYMs are liposoluble molecules with low molecular weight and limited numbers of chemical groups, which are considered as “challenging” targets for aptamers selection. In this study, Capture-SELEX was used as the main strategy in screening aptamers targeting gymnodimine-A (GYM-A), and an aptamer named G48nop, with the highest KD value of 95.30 nM, was successfully obtained by screening and optimization. G48nop showed high specificity towards GYM-A. Based on this, a novel aptasensor based on biolayer interferometry (BLI) technology was established in detecting GYM-A. This aptasensor showed a detection range from 55 to 1400 nM (linear range from 55 to 875 nM) and a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.21 nM. Spiking experiments in real samples indicated the recovery rate of this aptasensor, ranging from 96.65% to 109.67%. This is the first study to report an aptamer with high affinity and specificity for the challenging marine biotoxin GYM-A, and the new established aptasensor may be used as a reliable and efficient tool for the detection and monitoring of GYMs in the future.

Abstract:
Cyclic imine toxins are neurotoxic, macrocyclic compounds produced by marine dinoflagellates. Mass spectrometric screenings of extracts from natural plankton assemblages revealed a high chemical diversity among this toxin class, yet only few toxins are structurally known. Here we report the structural characterization of four novel cyclic-imine toxins (two gymnodimines (GYMs) and two spirolides (SPXs)) from cultures of Alexandrium ostenfeldii. A GYM with m/z 510 (1) was identified as 16-desmethylGYM D. A GYM with m/z 526 was identified as the hydroxylated degradation product of (1) with an exocyclic methylene at C-17 and an allylic hydroxyl group at C-18. This compound was named GYM E (2). We further identified a SPX with m/z 694 as 20-hydroxy-13,19-didesmethylSPX C (10) and a SPX with m/z 696 as 20-hydroxy-13,19-didesmethylSPX D (11). This is the first report of GYMs without a methyl group at ring D and SPXs with hydroxyl groups at position C-20. These compounds can be conceived as derivatives of the same nascent polyketide chain, supporting the hypothesis that GYMs and SPXs are produced through common biosynthetic genes. Both novel GYMs 1 and 2 were detected in significant amounts in extracts from natural plankton assemblages (1: 447 pg; 2: 1250 pg; 11: 40 pg per mL filtered seawater respectively).

Abstract:
In this article, I explore manifest and latent discourses about masculinity in a predominantly white, middle class boxing gym. In this gym, the owner and coaches promote a discourse that emphasizes love, bridgework, and sparring with care. This discourse is part of the gym’s white-collar boxing culture. A key part of this discourse is distancing themselves from other gyms, claiming they promote a violent masculinity. While on the surface the gym criticizes certain ideals and practices associated with American hegemonic masculinity, it still reproduces discourses, norms, and practices associated with it. Employees use a latent discourse that constructs a hybrid masculinity. I argue that employees and members construct a hybrid masculinity by perpetuating ideals and practices associated with American hegemonic masculinity.

Abstract:
Many cities face health issues that result from ineffective urban planning strategies. The chances of doing exercises in sportive venues implicate public health and citizen quality of life. With the advent of the geo-big data era, it is crucial to explore the spatial pattern of sports facilities to reflect urban health issues. This study aims to decode the street-based spatiality of gyms (one prevailing type of sportive venues) from a comprehensive perspective by both geometric methods (i.e., segment streets) and topological analytics in the context of complexity science (i.e., complex network derived from the topology of natural streets). We found that: (1) gyms are spatially clustered and distributed unevenly; (2) community-to-gym walkability fits the power-law with a heavy-tailed distribution at the 10-min and 20-min temporal scales; (3) the model for the street connectivity and the multi-distance reachability of gyms is with high polynomial fitting goodness. This article is conducive to strategies-making of healthy city planning and the further optimization of urban spatial structure.

Abstract:
Objetivo: Identificar a aplicação de técnicas de recrutamento, seleção, treinamento e desenvolvimento de pessoas e plano de cargos em academias de ginástica. Métodos: A pesquisa teve abordagem qualitativa, sendo entrevistados quatro administradores de academias na cidade de Londrina – Paraná. Para a avaliação dos dados foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Os resultados evidenciaram que todos os administradores relataram não haver um setor de recursos humanos na academia em que atuavam. Em relação a aplicação das técnicas abordadas, todos os administradores narraram utilizar métodos referentes a recrutamento, seleção, treinamento e desenvolvimento de pessoas. Entretanto, os métodos de treinamento e desenvolvimento apresentadas demonstram falta de conhecimento das técnicas por parte dos administradores. No que se refere a distribuição de cargos, três academias utilizavam métodos para a distribuição e uma academia informou não existir uma distribuição de cargos entre os funcionários. Conclusão: Conclui-se que os administradores, mesmo apresentando argumentos e aparente entendimento sobre a utilização de técnicas de recursos humanos, necessitam de maior conhecimento sobre o assunto. De fato, um conhecimento aprimorado das técnicas pode promover um crescimento organizacional constante das academias de ginástica, proporcionando serviços com melhor qualidade, atendendo as expectativas impostas pelos usuários das academias de ginástica.ABSTRACT. Application of people management techniques in gyms. Objective: Identify the application of techniques of recruitment, selection, training and development of people and plan of positions in gyms. Methods: The research had a qualitative approach, being interviewed four administrators of gyms in the city of Londrina - Paraná. For the evaluation of the data was used content analysis. Results: The results showed that all administrators reported not having a human resources sector in the gyms in which they worked. In relation to the application of the techniques, all managers reported using methods related to recruitment, selection, training and development of people. However, the training and development methods presented demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the techniques by the administrators. Regarding the distribution of positions, three gyms used methods for the distribution and one gym informed that there is no distribution of positions between the employees. Conclusion: It is concluded that managers, even presenting arguments and apparent understanding about the use of human resources techniques, need more knowledge about the subject. In fact, improved knowledge of the techniques can promote a steady organizational growth of gyms, providing better quality services, meeting the expectations imposed by the users of the gyms.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the key decision making elements of why female teachers join and disjoin a fitness gym membership.METHODS The participants of the study comprised of ten healthy female teachers, aging from 34 to 45. Out of the ten participants, five of them were members of fitness gyms while five of them were non-members of fitness gyms. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each participant. Each interview was audiorecorded, before being transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis approach was used for data analysis and higher-order themes were identified for each group of participants.RESULTS The key elements to sign up for a gym membership included keeping body and mental health, group synergy and peer influence, instructors’ guidance and convenience of gym facilities. The key elements for deterrence included the high cost of membership, lack of time, dislike for long term commitment and inconvenience of schedule.CONCLUSIONS The study discusses the controllable and uncontrollable factors associated with signing up for a gym membership including, the cost of membership and the occupations of teachers such as working hours and teachers’ circumstances. The results of this study enable gym operators to better understand how to cater and engage a specific target audience.

Abstract Outdoor gyms are becoming increasingly popular in the European cities. They are built in urban parks, in neighbourhoods (housing estates) and school sports grounds. Recently outdoor gyms are increasingly being built in non–urban recreation areas (such as beaches, lake promenades, forest parks). Among them there are gyms dedicated specifically to the elderly or disabled. The aim of the research is to analyze the use of outdoor gyms in Warsaw and selected surrounding settlements.

Abstract:
I en tid där träning och motion blivit allt viktigare för svensken har gym sett möjligheten att nå ut till nuvarande och nya kunder via sociala medier. Dock har mängden information som användarna på sociala medier nås av ökat till en nivå där användarna blivit mer selektiva av vad de faktiskt konsumerar. Syftet med studien är att analysera hur gym använder Facebook idag och jämföra detta med gymmedlemmars förväntningar och behov av gyms Facebooksidor. Detta för att ta reda på om gymmens tillämpning av sociala medier stämmer överens med vad användarna vill se på en sådan Facebooksida. Detta gjordes genom telefonintervjuer med tre gym och en enkätundersökning bland gymmedlemmar. Användarnas förväntningar och behov studerades och jämfördes sedan med hur gymmen använder sociala medier idag. Detta för att ta reda på om gymmens syfte med sociala medier stämmer överens med vad användarna vill se på en sådan Facebooksida. Studien visar att gym använder Facebook för att stärka sina kundrelationer, sprida information om företaget och för att marknadsföra gymmet. Medlemmarnas krav och förväntningar på ett gyms Facebooksida är att den ska innehålla erbjudanden och instruktionsvideor. Det ska även vara möjligt ta kontakt med gymmet dvs. att gymmen ska kunna svara på frågor/inlägg och det ska dessutom finnas kontaktuppgifter till gymmet. Medlemmarna anser även att gyms Facebooksidor ska ge motivation till besökarna. De rekommendationer som upptäcktes i studien och bör följas av gym är att fokusera på kvalitativa användare, dvs. de som är engagerade och aktiva på Facebooksidan. Föra dialoger med användarna och att vara nyfiken. Utföra kvalitetskontroller av innehållet som ska publiceras. Att omfamna inställningen ”Learning by Doing” och att nå ut till de befintliga medlemmarna genom att marknadsföra Facebooksidan på anläggningen och utforma en strategi om vad och hur mycket innehåll som ska läggas ut.

Abstract:
It is imperative that individuals with physical impairments maintain an active lifestyle to enhance various aspects of well-being and overall quality of life. This population, however, are also one of the most sedentary in society. One identified reason for this is the ableism which exists in many fitness establishments that promotes acceptance of one particular body; the strong, physically athletic, muscular body is given value. Individuals who do not align to his particular physical reality may be subject to discrimination which can have a detrimental effect on their psycho-emotional well-being and deter them from exercising. Surprisingly, there is an increasing number of disabled individuals who are becoming gym instructors and further integrating themselves into a space which is deemed to oppress them. The purpose of this PhD is to explore these individuals' journey from gym clients to gym instructors. Framed by interpretivism and with particular focus on narrative inquiry, various qualitative analysis techniques were applied to explore 1) participants experiences exercising in the gym, 2) participants' motivations to be gym instructors, 3) how participants made sense of their gym instructor training and, 4)what impact participants perceived they had in the gym as instructors. This thesis has made original contributions to the literature by crafting a deep understanding of disabled people s experiences in the gym and why people enact social missions. For example, this thesis contextualizes disability in the gym and identifies that despite the numerous health benefits disabled people experience by exercising in this space, the psycho-emotional disablism they are subject to acts as a barrier for individuals to exercise here. Importantly, although disablism acted as a barrier to continued exercise for participants, it was also a facilitator in their decision to become a gym instructor. Essentially, participants described their own negative gym experiences as fuelling their desires to enact positive change in this space and do social missions in the gym. To be a gym instructor, participants went through a training programme specifically designed to train disabled people to embody this role. At this training, participants initially experienced a sense of validation and belonging through peer group exercise and were able to craft a collective story which allowed them to resist the oppressive disablism they experienced in the gym. However, as training continued and evolved so too did the narratives participants crafted to make sense of their experiences. Instead of one united story, participants crafted two conflicting narratives which redefined their relationship with each other and InstructAbility, and ultimately determined why some participants continued their training and others did not. For those who did continue to become fully qualified gym instructors, they felt they had a positive influence in promoting inclusion, exercise and diversity in the gym. In light of these findings, there are several practical recommendations for exercise practitioners, rehabilitation specialists, gym managers and those prescribing exercise to disabled people. Implications are aimed at improving exercise promotion and experiences of exercise in the gym for disabled people. For example, disabled gym instructors could be a way to bridge the perceived experiential gap between disability and the gym as they exhibit an alternate way of being which is accepted in this space. Through their experiential knowledge of disability and practical knowledge of exercise, these individuals can also relate to disabled clients in a way that non-disabled instructors cannot. Disabled gym instructors, however, can educate non-disabled gym instructors in how to train someone with an impairment. Equally, a more critical attitude to promoting exercise to disabled people is called for. Specifically, to steer away from disabling expectations and narratives of disabled people s motivations to exercise and move towards more realistic, enabling strategies and narratives to facilitate disabled peoples exercise behaviour.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the ‘subject-effects’ of fitness gyms by investigating how the gym’s interactional, sociospatial and performative order informs participants’ sense of self and the ways in which they relate to their bodies. The thesis engages predominantly with the following theories: Foucault’s concept of heterotopia, Goffman’s theorization of total institutions and Scott’s elaboration of it as well as Bourdieu’s notion of habitus. Adopting a psychosocial framework, it is argued that these theories are more productive for the present study when their scope is widened to the level of subjective experiences, affects and relationships. A variety of methods were utilized in this study: a multi-sited participant observation in three London gyms including a small-scale analysis of gym advertisements, thirty-two semi-structured interviews with gym participants, and an analysis of online blogs and fitness handbooks. Four interrelated subject-effects of the gym were identified: first, material practices employed at gyms are tied into discourses of effectiveness and productivity through which bodies are conceptualized as open to strategic manipulation, control and power. On an affective level, this may generate feelings of mastery but also anxiety and discomfort amongst gym users. Second, gyms promote the idea that training brings about happiness, selfsatisfaction and emotional resilience. These ideas are taken up by most participants who state that they gain a greater sense of control through their gym training and feel self-contented. Third, gyms afford their users with a sense of individuality which lets them feel ‘special’. However, whilst there is a constant emphasis on members’ uniqueness in terms of their own, distinctive body and its ‘needs’, there is also the impetus to compare, contrast, to look and to be like the others which produces subtle forms of rivalry. Four, belonging to a gym expresses and affirms participants’ sense of self in a way that harmonizes with neoliberal imperatives on the self as an enterprise. The gym invites participants to be selfresponsible, self-reliant and constantly becoming.

Abstract:
Sports supplements include nutritional supplements and ergogenic aids and are widely used in the gym culture. Previous research has examined predictors for supplement use, but lacks an insight into why these patterns appear. The objective was to examine predictors for sports supplement use among people exercising at gyms and explore how sports supplements are used, perceived and viewed upon among a group of regular gym users. A mixed methods explanatory sequential design was used. In phase 1, an online cross-sectional survey was conducted. Phase 2 consisted of six semi-structured interviews exploring why sports supplements are used and not used, as well as expectations and beliefs regarding sports supplements among training individuals. 85 individuals participated in the survey. 68 percent used sports supplements regularly, but no predictors from previous research could be confirmed. The interviews showed that supplements were used for convenience and to ensure a sufficient nutrition intake, while non-users expressed a lack of knowledge and believed supplements to be inefficient and unnecessary. No predictors for use of sports supplements were confirmed, but both users and non-users highly value health responsibility in their decision of supplement use. To users, sports supplements are efficient and convenient dietary complements and replacements. Non-supplement users regard sports supplements to be unnecessary, inefficient and less enjoyable than food. Due to the small sample size, more studies are needed within the field in order to fully understand the role of sports supplements in the target group.
Träningstillskott inkluderar tillskott av enskilda näringsämnen och prestationshöjande medel och används flitigt i gymvärlden. Tidigare forskning har undersökt vilka faktorer som spelar roll för användning av tillskott, men saknar en djupare insikt om varför dessa mönster uppstår.Syftet var att undersöka avgörande faktorer för användning av träningstillskott bland individer som tränar på gym samt undersöka hur en grupp gymtränande individer använder, uppfattar och ser på träningstillskott. En mixed methods explanatory sequential design användes. Fas 1 bestod av en onlineenkät. Fas 2 utgjordes av sex semistrukturerade intervjuer som undersökte varför träningstillskott används respektive inte används samt förväntningar och uppfattningar gällande träningstillskott bland tränande individer. 85 individer deltog i enkäten. 68 procent använde träningstillskott regelbundet, men inga av de faktorer för användning som identifierats i tidigare forskning kunde bekräftas. Intervjuerna visade att tillskott användes av bekvämlighetsskäl och för att försäkra individen om ett tillräckligt näringsintag, medan icke-användare uttryckte otillräcklig kunskap och uppfattade tillskott som ineffektiva och onödiga. Inga prediktorer för användning av träningstillskott kunde bekräftas, men både användare och icke-användare värderar hälsoansvar högt i sitt beslut gällande användning av träningstillskott. Användare anser tillskott vara effektiva och bekväma komplement och ersättare i kosten. Icke-tillskottsanvändare uppfattar tillskott som onödiga, ineffektiva och mindre njutningsfulla än mat. På grund av ett litet urval behövs fler studier inom området för att få en tydligare bild av hur träningstillskott används av målgruppen.

Abstract:
Pesquisas sobre motivação, com indivíduos de diferentes faixas etárias e em variados contextos esportivos, têm recebido destaque na literatura relacionada ao esporte, notadamente aquela relacionada à Psicologia do Esporte. A questão central dessa pesquisa é avaliar diferentes dimensões motivacionais associadas à pratica regular de atividades físicas com praticantes em academias de ginástica do município de Porto Alegre/RS. Foram definidas seis dimensões motivacionais associadas à prática regular de atividade física: Controle de Estresse, Saúde, Sociabilidade, Competitividade, Estética e Prazer. Mais especificamente, o estudo procurou verificar a existência (ou não) de diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p < 0,05) entre os índices motivacionais destas seis dimensões, controlando-se as seguintes variáveis: “Sexo”, “Grupo de Idade”, “Treinamento”, “Tempo de Prática”, “Freqüência de Prática” e “Modalidade”. O IMPRAF-126 (BALBINOTTI, 2003) foi respondido por 300 praticantes de ginástica em academias de Porto Alegre, de ambos os sexos e com idades variando entre 18 e 65 anos. Constatou-se que a dimensão que mais os motiva é a Saúde seguida, respectivamente, pelas dimensões Prazer, Estética, Controle de Estresse, Sociabilidade e Competitividade. Explica-se esse resultado quando identificamos o fator motivacional Saúde relacionado com a melhoria da aptidão física, com o incremento da vitalidade, com a diminuição de fatores de riscos para doenças, e ganhos na qualidade de vida. Quanto maior a faixa etária dos sujeitos pesquisados, maior foi o “valor” atribuído à dimensão Saúde. Outros importantes resultados estão apresentados e discutidos. Conclui-se que a motivação dos sujeitos testados se origina, predominantemente, por suas motivações extrínsecas. Novas pesquisas são importantes para que se possa melhor mapear as dimensões motivacionais de diferentes praticantes, de acordo com suas atividades físicas regulares.
Researches about motivation with individuals from different ages in a variety of sportive contexts, has got distinction in literature related to sport, especially in the one related to sport psychology. The purpose of this study is to explore and evaluate different motivational dimensions associated to regular physical activities practice in gym users in the city of Porto Alegre. Six motivational dimensions associated to the regular practice of physical activities were observed: stress control, health, sociability, competitive, esthetics and pleasure. More specifically, this study pretended to verify significant statistical differences (p< 0,05) between the motivational rates from the six dimensions and controlled variables: “gender”, “group age”, “training”, “practice time”, “frequency time” and “modality”. The IMPRAF-126 (Balbinotti, 2003) was answered by 300 gymnastics users, from Porto Alegre gyms, of both genders and ages between 18 and 65 years old. The research established that the dimension that mainly motivated them is health followed, respectively, by pleasure, esthetics, stress control, sociability and competitive. The results are explained when identifying the motivational factor health related with the improvement of physical capacity, increasing vitality, decreasing risk factors to diseases and quality life gain. It is perceived that the higher was the age of participants, the higher was the value related to health. The results of this study suggest that the participants’ motivation begins, predominantly, from their extrinsic motivation. Additional studies are important in order to acknowledge better the motivational dimensions in different users according to their regular physical activities.

Abstract:
Abstract The increasing levels of pollution and global climate changes have spurred growing interest in harvesting green energy from all possible resources. One of the under-utilized sources is the energy that one spends during physical exercise at gymnasiums. If the energy that a person expends can be harvested, that may suffice to power the facility at least partially. This paper describes the research, development, and execution of a low-cost arrangement to harvest energy from a static bicycle at a gym. Primarily, the setup uses a generator attached to the bicycle to produce low-voltage electricity. Further, an electrical circuit is designed and implemented to amplify the voltage and send it to a 585CCA battery. The resulting arrangement is found to be sufficient to completely charge the car battery with 12–15 hours of riding of one bicycle. It is estimated that this battery can power two energy-efficient lamps for around 13 hours. In other words, a simple setup attached to various cardio equipment in series may be sufficient to power the gym partially. Further, an economic analysis is conducted to estimate the energy saving resulting from the implementation of the energy harvesting arrangement in a college gym. It is found that with the help of such an arrangement, approximately 20% of the energy cost of the gym room can be saved.
