During the last couple of years, mobile augmented reality (MAR) has seen an increase in its potential due to improved available hardware and software. Applications such as Pokémon GO and IKEA Place are just a few of the successful ways MAR can be used in. Smartphone user’s tendency to look up information and data, such as live sport feeds, present unexplored opportunities for augmented reality (AR). This thesis aims to explore the usability and suitability using AR for live information visualization. For this purpose, an Android MAR application has been written in Java with Android Studio, using ARCore to visualize live events and statistics from a hockey game. The user can place a virtual hockey rink in a real-world environment and then toggle between a live event feed where current match events are being displayed, and a statistics view, where the user can see the statistics of the match, all in AR. The application was tested by nine participants between the age 1957 years old, which also answered a system usability scale test (SUS). The SUS yielded a score with the mean 76.6 out of 100, which is above the mean of studies using SUS. The user testing yielded mostly positive feedback regarding the concept of using AR to visualize information, and seven out of the nine participants thought it was a fun way of visualizing a hockey game. The result of the user testing also revealed possible problems of using AR to visualize data, such as information occlusion. In conclusion, MAR is a diverse technology which use has much undiscovered potential. The study indicates that it is a suitable and usable method for visualizing information and live data.
Under de senaste åren så har AR (augmented reality) för mobil sett en ökning i dess potential till följd av förbättrad hårdvara och mjukvara. Applikationer som Pokémon GO och IKEA Place är bara ett fåtal exempel på framgångsrika sätt som mobil AR kan användas på. Smartphoneanvändares tendens att kolla upp information och data, till exempel sportsändningar, öppnar möjligheter för AR som än inte har utforskats. Denna uppsats har som mål att undersöka användbarhet och lämplighet för mobil AR som ett verktyg för att visualisera information. För detta ändamål så har en Android mobil AR applikation skapats som använder ARCore för att visualisera livedata och statistik från en ishockeymatch, skriven i Java med Android Studio. Applikationen låter användaren placera en virtuell hockeyrink i verkligheten, och sedan kan byta mellan ett liveflöde där händelser i matchen visas, samt en statistikvy, där användaren kan se statistik från hela matchen, allt i AR. Applikationen testades av nio användare mellan åldrarna 19-57, som också svarade på ett användbarhetstest (SUS). Användbarhetstestet gav ett resultat med medelvärdet 76.6 utav 100, vilket är över medelvärdet av studier som använder SUS. Användartestet gav mestadels positivt resultat angående konceptet att använda AR för att visualisera information och sju utav nio personer ansåg att det var ett roligt sätt att visualisera en hockeymatch. Resultatet av användartestet avslöjade också eventuella problem med att använda AR för att visualisera data, till exempel att information skyms. Sammanfattningsvis så är mobil AR en mångsidig teknik som har mycket outforskad potential. Denna studie indikerar att det är en lämplig metod för att visualisera liveinformation och data.

Användandet av strömmande medier har ökat explosionsartat under de senaste åren. Oavsett om det sker märkbart för användaren eller inte använder sig gemene man i princip dagligen av någon form av tjänst som distribueras via strömmande medier över Internet. Det kan röra sig om allt från att lyssna på webbradio till att titta på videoklipp från nyhetsportaler eller sportsidor på Internet.

I denna rapports första del görs en kartläggning över strömmande medier rent generellt. Den läsekrets som inte är särskilt insatt i ämnet får reda på vad strömmande medier är, vilka aktörer som finns på marknaden, möjliga distributionssätt, historik med mera.

Fortsättningsvis kommer rapporten att behandla hur införandet av strömmande medier går till i teorin: hur distributionskedjan ser ut, vilka krav som konsument och producent ställer och hur man försöker att lösa problem som uppstår. Det senare leder vidare till en genomgång av bland annat streamingprotokoll, bredbandstekniker och komprimeringsstandarder för ljud och bild.

I rapportens senare del ges exempel på hur strömmande medier införs i praktiken. Här läggs speciellt fokus på användningsområdet sport och direktsändningar av sportevenemang. Konkreta exempel beskrivs och vi får även reda på hur det går till att genomföra en direktsänd sportsändning via strömmande medier. Som avslutning diskuteras tänkbara framtidscenarion och en utredning av en unikInternetsändning av en elitishockeymatch görs.

To use hockey broadcast videos for automatic game analysis, we need to compensate for camera viewpoint and motion. This can be done by using features on the rink to estimate the homography between the observed rink and a geometric model of the rink, as specified in the appropriate rule book (top down view of the rink). However, occlusion due to players, wide range of camera motion and frames with few reliable key-points pose a significant challenge for robustness and accuracy of the solution. In this work, we describe a new method to use line and ellipse features along with key-point based matches to estimate the homography. We combine domain knowledge (i.e., rink geometry) with an appearance model of the rink to detect these features accurately. This overdetermines the homography estimation to make the system more robust. We show this approach is applicable to real world data and demonstrate the ability to track long sequences on the order of 1,000 frames.

Using feminist perspectives, the treatment of women's participation in leisure sport within leisure studies and the sociology of sport, is explored. The review traces the progress made, in moving enquiry away from questions of distribution, towards questions of relations between women and men and how these are reproduced and enacted in leisure and sports experiences. Epistemological and methodological issues f acing feminist researchers in leisure studies and the sociology of sport are outlined. The research explored the dynamics between women's uses and control of time, their framing and definition of leisure sport in their own lives, past and present. A cumulative approach, using several research methods, was developed. Forty women, twenty badminton and twenty hockey players, were research partners. Interactions with each included: use of interview pro formas for personal profiles, participation parameters and weekly time profiles; personal life histories; and questions designed to link, check and provide perspective. The methods were effective for exploring changes in meanings of leisure and sport activities over time. The main findings included the centrality of "others" in women's uses of time and sport experiences, and recurrent themes of autonomy and control, recovery, personal fulfilmont, tensions between commitments and constraints, and sport as "cultural capital". The findings are related to issues of public policy and provision in leisure and sport.

In todays society sports has become a major part in people’s life, with the emerging of professionalization it’s become a thriving business that generates big money. An outcome of this evolution of sports as meant that most athletes must put more time and energy in to their athletics to have a chance to reach their dreams of being a professional athlete. And if an athletes dream get cut short somehow, the process of moving out of sport has been shown to somtimes be a difficult process for athletes that don’t have anything to fall back on. That’s why it is important for athletes to have the option to be able to combine their athletics with academics. The purpose of this study was to examine how a duel career, support services and life skills help to balance out the negative outcomes of pursuing a professional career in sports while also working for a higher education. During this study eight men and two women that where playing ice hockey and studying at an NCAA division 1 university where interviewed about their perceptions being student-athletes in a high performance university that has high standards on academics and sports. The results showed that most of support services offered to the student athletes helped them in reducing stress and having a more balanced life between sports and studies. The results also showed that the student-athletes perceived that they prioritized hockey and studies highly and their free time to do other things suffered because of that. Another aspect in the result showed that community service, which was part of the student-athlete program, helped them with putting things in perspective and affected them in a positive way in being student-athletes.

Cette thèse s'intéresse - au niveau national - aux transformations du hockey sur glace sur une période allant de 1986 (date de l'obtention des Jeux Olympiques d'Hiver de 1992 à la France) à 2006 (date de la scission entre le hockey sur glace et la FFSG). Il s'agit d'un travail socio-historique qui portera son attention sur les structures fédérales (et leurs transformations) et sur l'évolution de la politique de la Commission Sportive Nationale de Hockey sur Glace (CNHG), notamment en ce qui concerne la mise en spectacle et la professionnalisation de ce sport au cours de la période que nous avons définie précédemment. Nous nous intéresseront également aux clubs évoluant (ou ayant évolué) en première division. L'analyse, outre la stratégie globale, doit comprendre les jeux d'acteurs au sein de l'espace fédéral (CNHG et FFSG) et leurs rapports de force, les soubassements idéologique de l'action dans le cadre fédéral, mais aussi tenir compte du contexte sportif national avec le développement du sport-spectacle et du " star système " au cours des années 1980. Il s'agira également d'analyser la structuration du hockey sur glace sous forme professionnelle (e.g., ligue professionnelle, statut des clubs, syndicats (joueurs, clubs, arbitres), contrôle de gestion, etc.) et son positionnement à l'international avec les conséquences des différentes législations européennes (e.g., arrêt Bosman (1995), arrêt Malaja (2002)).

This diploma thesis is focused on the live-broadcast sports events commentary which is a strictly specific journalistic profession and also one of the most challenging news disciplines of them all. It mainly concentrates on the professional commentators ("play-by-play") in the television environment. To define differences between performances of commentators in public and private television stations using linguistic and quantitative context analysis is the main goal of this thesis. The gender issues in the live-broadcast sports events commentary as a field - which are very rare in the Czech academic environment - are also being evaluated here. Transcripts of commentaries of previously chosen ice hockey matches are the main source for practical chapters of this publication. In both theoretical and practical parts of the thesis, author also considers his own interviews conducted with commentators and other professionals from selected field.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of physical fitness quotient on adolescents doing in-line hockey trainings. Fifty adolescents were come forward to attend the program and they’ve been divided into two groups, which is experimental group and control group. Each group had 25 peoples; Experimental group was performed 90 minutes per time in 3 times per week during 10 weeks, whereas the control group had no training at all. The information of original test was transformed into score by adolescent PFQ model chart, information was handled and analyzed by descriptive statistics, and the sample used T test and single factor covariance analysis. After 10 weeks, experimental group students’ muscular strength and muscular endurance, circulatory-respiratory endurance, agility, balance, speed, explosive force, HPFQ, SPFQ, and PFQ improved obviously. Body-mass index, reaction, coordination and flexibility have no significant variations in pre-test and post-test. Control group students’ muscular strength and muscular endurance, speed, HPFQ and PFQ makes significant regression. Flexibility, circulatory-respiratory endurance, body-mass index, agility, balance, coordination, reaction, explosive force and SPFQ have no significant variations in pre-test and post-test. The result above shows that In-line hockey indeed helping adolescents makes significant progress on their score of PFQ, HPFQ and SPFQ. But 10 weeks in-line hockey training is unable to raise the score of flexibility and coordination effectively. Hope follow-up research can investigate the reason thoroughly.

The knee joint is the most commonly injured joint in the body. Clinical methods used at present for the diagnosis of cartilage pathology in the knee are invasive in nature. Analysis of vibration signals emitted by the knee joint has the potential for the development of a non-invasive procedure for the diagnosis of knee pathology. By Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and calculating root mean square (RMS) value, via One Way ANOVA at last, to demonstrate whether the two analysis methods are valid in this work. The method was tested on 14 male volunteers from NSYSU (7 players of in-line skating and 7 normal schoolmates). By analyzing the signals extracted from the players, finding difference of them, and distinguishing whether they are healthy. In conclusion, if the knee joint ligament is unusual, the frequency of signal is higher than 50 Hz; if not, the frequency is lower than 10 Hz. On the other hand, the RMS value of signal has no distinct region among the testers, so could not be used to analyze the signals. The results should be able to take as the reference for the diagnosis of knee joint non-invasively in clinical medicine.

The purpose of this research is the effect of a 12 Week Physical Training on In-Line Roller Hockey players. The samples are the 16 team member of the Taiwan National Representative Team who had attended the Asian Championship. The members are elected in the National Representative Tryout, ages vary from 18.6±4.6 years old, heights from 170.8±6.6 cm, weighs 68.6±12.3 kg and have had practiced in In-Line Roller Hockey for 8.3±3.2 years. According to the objective of the research and the coaches, a 12 week training program was made for the National Representative Team, including 5 weeks of basic fitness training and 7 weeks focus trainings. This research is based on the “Big Cycle training plan”, divided into three sections - “Testing Analysis”, “Fitness Training” and “Focuspre paration” The Standard of this research is the hydroxypropanoic acid scale in which α＝.05. Using the sample T to compare, the differences before taking the training is not obvious judging by the hydroxypropanoic acid scale (t=-.729 p＞0.05). After taking the training (crossing objects while having the ball) and compare, the differences came out apparently (t=5.4 p<0.05); Taking the other training (turn and score) also has the distinguish differences (t=9.2 p<0.05). According to the results we can find that it makes a lot of difference after the training procedure, and is positive for the National Representative Team as a training reference.

anglicky Objectives: This thesis aims to investigate whether we can predict the general and sport- specific quality of life of athletes with physical disabilities based on selected positive psychological constructs (resilience, hardiness and grit). Method: Forty players of para ice-hockey and wheelchair rugby (of which only two were women) underwent this study. The data were obtained by a questionnaire, compiled by Professor Martin from Wayne State University, which contains six parts: general information, life satisfaction, grit, resilience, sports engagement and hardiness. The "translation and reverse translation" method was used to translate the questionnaire. We used the statistical program IBM SPSS 2200 to analyze the obtained data. Results: Life satisfaction can be best predicted on the basis of hardiness (R = 0.686), but also resilience (R = 0.496) and grit (R = 0.340). We can predict sports engagement only based on resilience (R = 0.374). We recommend searching for other possible positive constructs that could better predict sports engagement. Key words: quality of life, sport engagement, life satisfaction, resilience, hardiness, grit, para ice hockey, wheelchair rugby
