sports - Science topic

I had the privilege to start my MSc at Cardiff University last year. And this year it has come to the point where I need to choose a topic for my dissertation.

I have a keen interest and experience in sports and sports analytics and would like to enhance it with the addition of Data Science. I believe there are various sports-related visualizations being carried across the internet but fail to understand the source for their data. But I fail to broaden my scope beyond what's already done!

Please take a few minutes of your time and help me come up with a unique topic for my dissertation.

Hello,

I am working with my data with one IV (Likert Scale-Sports Engagement Scale) and one DV (6 Subscales-Likert Scale [Psychological Wellbeing Scale]). What statistical treatment is best to check their relationship and causal-relationship?

I hope you can answer it as soon as possible! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

I am looking at gender equality in sports media. I have collected two screen time measures from TV coverage of a sport event - one time for male athletes and one time for female athletes.

i am looking for a statistical test to give evidence that one gender is favoured. I assume I have to compare each genders time against the EXPECTED time given a 50/50 split (so male time + female time / 2), as this would be the time if no gender was favoured.

my first though was chi square? But I’m not sure that works because there’s really only one category. I am pregnant and so my brain is not working at the moment lol. I think the answer is really simple but I just can’t think of anything.

Dear Researchers,

Do you have any studies done on ethnic, racial, and family members who are successful in sports?

Can you share, if any?

Please help to circulate this questionnaire, which is part of a big international study (you can find below the questionnaire in different languages):

The project has the collaboration of researchers (including sport scientists) from 6 continents.

Globally, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has transformed people’s day-to-day life. The world’s sporting calendar, recreational and professional, is almost unrecognisable. Athletes have seen access to training facilities and/or the ability to even leave their homes (i.e., to run, cycle) severely restricted, if not removed entirely. This questionnaire will investigate how the lockdown is affecting (or has affected) athletes’ lifestyle (including nutritional, psychological and sleep aspects) and how athletes are responding (have responded) to the pandemic.

Why participate in this project? Project outcomes will be used for research purposes and to inform current/future guidelines for athletes, coaches, sports scientists and (potentially) policymakers. It will reveal what has happened globally, across every inhabited continent, during the pandemic relative to athletes and their training practices. Your participation will contribute to improving the current and future lifestyle of athletes.

Target population: Elite or sub-elite athletes (amateur or professional from both genders, including Para athletes) from any country that is experiencing, or has experienced, a lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Privacy, confidentiality, and Data security : All responses will be de-identified and processed anonymously (you will not be asked to provide us with your name, ensuring total anonymity). No other identifying information, including IP address will be recorded. At the end of the study, the data will be destroyed in compliance with international regulations. Precautions will be taken to control access to all data. Only authorized individuals (principal investigators) will have access to the dataset. We’re minimizing the risk of breach of confidentiality by collecting and storing the data anonymously, and by saving data with password protection. This international survey has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Imam Khomeini International University.

Results : The results of this project will be used for scientific publications where it will not possible to identify any of the participants. To inquire about the results of the survey, please email the principal investigator. For any inquiries, please feel free to contact the principal investigator: Morteza Taheri E-mail: m.taheri@soc.ikiu.ac.ir

Dear friends

One thing I noted in academia is that competition can sometimes be just as fierce as in the world of business.

Sometimes it can be small and petty like who should be first author, often triggered by purely selfish reasons and following justifications.

In other cases competition can be about grands, effectively rendering someone unemployed in some cases. I have seen bullying, discrimination more frequently than in the world of business, the place I come from.

This is truly the dark side of academia, there are also positive things but these are things that make me sick to my stomach.

What is your experience? Do you agree with my rather dark view? If not, why? If yes, how can we fix it?

Best wishes Henrik

The increasing number of studies on e-sports, especially after the covid-19 pandemic, provides a lot of new information about the development of e-sports in the world. however, the recommendations of WHO and UNESCO to reduce sedentary behavior run counter to an actual increase in active exercise.

it is necessary to discuss the position of e-sports in sports terminology which has been closely related to physical activity and body training.

To be more specific about sports risk management

Does doping in trainees and elite sports cause problems in the interpretation of results in scientific research?

As we know for instance about doping use in cycling before, how does this impact results found in previous times?

How can this be problematic in current research? As we can not be sure of clean athletes and/or subjects in research

Hi everyone! I would like to write my bachelor's thesis on a topic that's currently relevant in the sphere of analytics, supply chains or technology (or if it's possible a topic concerning all the three fields of interest). I am a business student, and my program covers anything related to the above mentioned fields.

Here are some examples of themes that I am interested in:

Ideally, I would love to find a topic that relates to one of these themes. However, I am open to other suggestions as well. As long as it is interesting.

Obviously any kind of suggestions, regarding new topics (broad or specific) or the development of cited ones would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I am doing research wherein I want to develop a scale for measuring sports participation but the only papers that I am getting regarding the same talks about frequency and duration. Please guide if anyone have idea regarding the same.

What types of exercises and training variables (volume, intensity, repetitions, frequency, exercise selection, exercise order, and rest) are recommended for patients with Multiple sclerosis (MS)?

Hi,

I am currently working on a study of football and cricket venue (i.e. stadium, sports ground) locations. Can any one suggest prominent (and or) current literature/ theories that explains major sports venues location in terms of urban form (and/or strcuture)? Would be grateful, as it will help providing particular point of discussion for the study I am on.

The closest I could arrive is the discourse of Sports Geography, basically led by John Bale, where such relation has not been well addressed.

Your suggestions will be worthy. Thanks in advance.

Does creatine supplementation increase insulin sensitivity?

What is your opinion?

I have done a content analysis of a sports documentary and have two seperate screentime values - one for female athlete screentime and one for male athlete screentime.

Which test would I need to run to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the two screentime values? I am trying to see if one sex gets significantly more coverage than the other.

I am writing a dissertation on a topic where I survey a team of female athletes who have a female head coach and need a validated questionnaire to use for the study. I have been searching and have not been successful.

What types of exercise and training variables (volume, intensity, repetitions, frequency, exercise selection, exercise order, and rest) are recommended for patients with Multiple sclerosis (MS)?

In the field of sports science, the recovery umbrella is a trending topic, and even more so in the world of elite sports. This is evidenced by the significant increase in scientific publications during the last 10 years as teams look to find a competitive edge. Recovery is recognized to be an integral component to assist athlete preparation in the restoration of physical and psychological function, and subsequently, performance in elite team sports athletes. However, the importance of recovery in team staff members (sports coaches and performance staff) in elite sports appears to be a forgotten element. Given the unrelenting intense nature of daily tasks and responsibilities of team staff members, the elite sports environment can predispose coaches to increased susceptibility to psycho-socio physiological fatigue burden, and negatively affect health, wellbeing, and performance Therefore, the aim of this opinion was to (1) develop an educational recovery resource for team staff members, (2) identify organizational task-specific fatigue indicators and barriers to recovery and self-care in team staff members, and (3) present recovery implementation strategies to assist team staff members in meeting their organizational functions. It is essential that we do not forget the coaching and performance staff in the recovery process.

Hello!

I'd like to measure HRV from a group of athletes with polar H10 monitors. Is there any solution to do it via PC/MAC without mobile apps?

PS: The only thing I want to record is R-R interval values - I use Kubios to analyze HRV data.

Thanks for help.

Heart Rate Variability is a well known and useful concept in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Sciences. Breath Rate is a lesser researched field and a newer measure Breath-Rate Variability is introduced recently to quantify meditation effect.

It is gaining attention of researchers as BRV has a number of novel applications. What could they be.

Biomechanical loading: external/internal | acute/chronic

Programs and applications for the kinematic analysis of the human body are many and varied, and they all share one goal, which is to reach correct results for the biomechanical variables of human movement, whether in life or in sports, but these programs differ in the way they work, although the basics are the same, all of them extract three basic variables: distance, time, angle, and possible To be added to it by information by the user of the program, such as the player's mass, the longest parts of the body, age, total height, etc., and its purpose is to extract additional variables by providing the program with laws. All this is reflected in the researcher in choosing the appropriate program for him in terms of application, method of use and the results he wants to obtain.

I'm looking for research related to the rates at which sports teams/players exhibit intra-contest performance reversals. For example, in tennis the player who loses the first set wins the second. Or in the context of a period-based sport, an example would be a team in basketball outscored in the first quarter flipping the tables in the second.

The integral development of children is intimately with the game. In a bibliographic review of this area of scientific knowledge (children's game): Which authors should not be omitted?

Which types game or sports are helpful for children's mental and physical development? Please put your valuable comments in this regards.

More and more clinicians have interesting experiences with glucose 5% injections. However, we lack fundamental research to support our clinical findings. (below: more information about Glucopuncture / glucose 5% injections)

Jan Kersschot

Glucopuncture: Introduction

1. Definition

Glucopuncture is a nonsteroidal injection therapy for the management of a variety of nonrheumatic musculoskeletal conditions. It consists of series of sessions of multiple regional glucose 5% injections into the dermis and into muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Intradermal injections are given to modulate referred pain and intralesional injections are applied to support tissue repair.

2. History

Glucose and dextrose injections have been used for several decades in prolotherapy ([i], [ii], [iii], [iv], [v], [vi], [vii], [viii], [ix]). Hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy typically uses high concentrations of dextrose (10% net concentration or more). Such hyperosmolar solutions lead to localized cell destruction. This phenomenon creates a local inflammatory reaction. This may lead to tissue proliferation – hence the description prolotherapy - and even formation of scar tissue.

Over the last decade, low concentrations of glucose 5% (or dextrose 5%) have become more popular ([x], [xi], [xii], [xiii], [xiv], [xv], [xvi], [xvii]). Clinical experience indicates that glucose 5% injections may be effective for the management of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Despite interesting clinical outcome, glucose 5% injections have not received much attention among family physicians, sports doctors, or orthopaedic surgeons. The term Glucopuncture (GP) was introduced in January 2021 to change that situation ([xviii]).

3. Mechanism of Action

3. 1. Pain Modulation and Tissue Repair

Most hypotheses about glucose injections are focused on pain modulation (e.g., vanilloid receptors, neural inflammation, gate control). But these theories on pain modulation are not specific for glucose injections. Furthermore, these theories do not explain the beneficial effects of Glucopuncture on tissue repair. Certain tissues seem to function better after a few sessions. Apparently, local glucose injections support cellular function and consequently lead to tissue repair clinical functional improvement. This functional improvement leads to, for example, less stiffness when injecting into muscle, and more joint stability when injecting into collateral bands or ligaments. To explain this functional component, a new hypothesis has been proposed, the ATP hypothesis.

3.2. The ATP Hypothesis

Glucose is the major energy source for cellular health. One glucose molecule gives rise to more than 30 ATP molecules during the aerobic respiration. The conversion of ATP into ADP releases about 30 kJ/mol energy to the cells. In other words, glucose can be considered as a direct provider of energy (one molecule delivers more than 900 kJ/mol) to cell metabolism.

When tissues are damaged because of trauma, overuse or other causes, the cells need to regenerate as quickly as possible. This physiological tissue regeneration requires an additional amount of energy in the cells. In normal circumstances, energy supply is abundant to meet the higher demand. The cells are so to speak self-sufficient when it comes to ATP production. But when the need for ATP is elevated, there may be a temporary lack of ATP and as a result physiological recovery of that tissue may become impossible. The latter may lead to poor tissue healing. Providing extra glucose to the cells during these moments of repair might lead to extra ATP production. In this sense, it is hypothesized that Glucopuncture improves tissue repair of, for example, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

3.3. The Effect of Glucose on Tiny Nerve Branches

Especially peripheral nerve endings seem to respond well to adjacent glucose injections. This effect is not observed when glucose is injected intravenously, which may mean that the mechanism of action is located in the extracellular matrix at the injection site. More research is required to further explore this. One can approach the peripheral nerves directly, for example, when injecting close to the median nerve (carpal tunnel) or greater occipital nerve. But clinical experience has illustrated that it is not always necessary to inject adjacent to peripheral nerves. Reaching the finer branches with glucose seems to be equally important. These extremely tiny nerve endings are present in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and so on. These fine nerve branches are also impossible to find during clinical examination – let alone inject each one of them separately. That is why multiple injections are given in the entire region.

3.4. The Effect of Glucose on Dermal Sensory Nociceptors

Sensory receptors are found everywhere in the body. They are also abundant in dermis. That is probably the reason why superficial injections of glucose can be more influential than expected. It is sometimes said that the skin is the largest sensory organ of the human body. These dermal sensory receptors are an important part of the somatosensory system. These receptors include mechanoreceptors, nociceptors, and thermoreceptors. Especially dermal nociceptors are important to explain the pain modulating effects of Glucopuncture while injecting glucose intradermally.

In other words, it is hypothesized that peripheral nerves which are irritated or inflamed, require more glucose than normally because they are mechanically irritated, inflamed or both. At some point, the ATP levels are too low and ‘batteries’ are empty. Providing additional ATP through glucose injection might resolve this issue temporary. This so-called ‘charging’ of the cells must be repeated on a regular basis until the cells can continue to function without external sources of ATP. That might explain why it is crucial to repeat the Glucopuncture sessions on a regular basis, especially in the beginning of treatment. This theory is still hypothetical and more research in this field is required to confirm these statements.

3.5. Glucose transport across the cell membrane

Glucose is transported across the cell membrane ([xix]) by a specific saturable transport system, which includes two types of glucose transporters: 1) sodium dependent glucose transporters (SGLTs) which transport glucose against its concentration gradient and 2) sodium independent glucose transporters (GLUTs), which transport glucose by facilitative diffusion in its concentration gradient.

The understanding of glucose transport after extracellular injection and its consequent effect on small branches of peripheral nerve endings in, for example, muscle tissue, tendons, ligaments, and its effect on dermal nociceptors is obviously still incomplete and needs further investigation. It is hoped that the introduction of Glucopuncture and its promising clinical effects might stimulate more research in the field of neural inflammation and the beneficial effects of regional glucose injections. Unfortunately, glucose is an inexpensive product which cannot be patented, so it is very unlikely to receive funding for large randomized clinical trials from pharmaceutical companies.

Of course, the quality of team sports will be significantly reduced. The consequences will be significant and the desired level of quality will not be achieved for a long time. With that, the teams, the sports workers and the audience will lose equally.

I am searching for an instrument to measure stakeholders’ perception (students, teachers, parents, Curriculum Officers) on students’ participation in extracurricular sporting activities. Your contribution will be appreciated.

If we study the numbers from various research companies on Indian sports viewership, we can find that its growing every year. But if we study the participation levels in sports which can be further divided into 'Professional & Recreational' there are chances of downward trend.

Please share your thoughts.

Big data has a positive contribution towards wide ranging industries, so it's not surprising that it's affects sports too.

dear all,

i'am searching for some good reviews in the field of hydrogen use, hydrogen effect, hydrogen fuel technology in the field of sports and medicine.

please share your papers with me.

is there some research in the field of regeneration in sports and post operation in medicine?

is there some research in special sports like triathlon, canoe, swimming and lifting?

thanks.

In case of nitric oxide supplements, would this activate vasodilation in both active and less active (muscle) tissues, and would that be non optimal?

Would NO not cause VD also in tissues that have a restricted blood flow during exercise. E.G the digestive system, or other bloodvessels? Would that not cause a negative effect in sport?

Let's say you have to come up with a way to make a lineup for a team. So you get the team stats and player stats like passing, Tackles, Shooting, Interceptions (It's soccer). Anyway you made the lineup, but you have to validate it if that lineup is the best lineup of the team. How do you validate the lineup you have made without playing the team in a match.

I'm working on my thesis right now about relationship between sport heritage values and supporter's sense of place (of the city they live in). I had the idea that I should first measure the general sense of place using a likert scale system of several statement similar to those of Willams and Vaske (2003) and Jorgenson & Stedman (2001).

Then I had the idea to compose statements (also in likert scale format) regarding the sports club (the ''sense of the sports club'' as it were) that I based on sport heritage factors/values I explored in the theoretical framework.

So in short: I want to measure two different sets of likert scale data from the SAME respondent group and then I want to measure if there is a correlation between the sport heritage data outcome and the sense of place data outcome. As in for example: does a high 'sense of sportsclub' result in a higher sense of place compared to a lower sense of sportsclub?

Now comes my question(s): Is this a good idea? and so yes, how to measure this? Which statistical analysis should I use or is it maybe better to make sport heritage statements with only yes/no answers? Or am I tackling it the wrong way? (statistical analysis isn't my strong suit)

Any advice is welcome!

Symptom Description: 1, boys 1.5 to 3.0 years old, in the Meiji early childhood pre-school training, exercise language, sports, communication and other skills courses. At the same time, there are 6 to 10 children of the same age; symptoms: more than 20 courses over a period of six months, he is the only one who has never been able to quiet down to participate in interactive learning; 2, do not look at people; avoid eyes; 3, do not respond to calls; 4, running around, looking for interested environment and games; 5, explicitly refused to participate in various activities interacting with peers.

But its ability to learn to master digital cognitive abilities and interests beyond its peers reflects the absence of IQ problems.

Medical experts were asked to examine it, after more than 1 hour of special testing (with its interactive game), the conclusion is: not yet sure is ADHD, too young to be treated, still need to actively observe, track the evolution of symptoms.

In the hospital pediatrics can see that many children are suffering from this problem. Including students between the ages of 7 and 10, lack of concentration leads to poor learning ability.

Do you have experts who have encountered similar problems, how do you class these symptoms when you are unwilling to learn from group activities, and how do you complete their education,

I see the same activity factor (multipliers) in research papers and websites, but I cannot find where they come from. Does anyone know where these originated? I am looking for an original citation, or at least a reputable citation like an ACSM textbook.

Sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2

Lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375

Moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55

Very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725

Extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9

As background, in my model, my independent variable is visual clutter which has two conditions (higher visual clutter/ low visual clutter) and the conditions measure the amount of visual clutter in an Augmented reality sports setting depicted through illustrations. Within these two conditions, the sport type, basketball and soccer (2 created AR sports illustrations per conditions) are statistically different through analysis of a paired- samples t-test. They differ with regards to the dependent variable: consumer satisfaction.

I am running process by Hayes in SPSS, how can I include sport type as a covariate for the analysis? I am supposed to create a dummy variable but I don,t know how to do that as both are continuous variables and constituents of the dependent variable (Consumer satisfaction for both sports grouped together).

In your opinion, to what extent it can affect ??

Kicking ability represents the most important soccer-specific skill, since it is used not only in passes, crosses, clearances, and also to score goals.

The ability to kick equally with both the preferred and non-preferred leg leads to an advantage for soccer players, since it increases the number of scoring opportunities. In modern football, this ability is becoming even more important as there is less space and time for players to decide what we do with the ball. In fact, there is positive relationship between player’s salary and ability to use two feet in professional soccer.

However, ball velocity is significantly lower after a kick with the non-preferred leg in comparison to the preferred one.

It’s known that two-footedness can be developed, to some extent, by training. But it would be possible to develop two-footed players in soccer club academys? Why don't we teach our soccer players to use both feet equally well?

A recent report shows that working women in corporate sector are likely to quit their jobs or downshifting their careers due to challenges faced by Covid-19. It is said that may be this is due to increased hours of work at home as well as due to contributing at least six hours in domestic chores without maids and managing children without school and sports etc have all compel them to take second thoughts in continuing or quitting their own job.

In countries now at the top of the league for death scores, invincibility myths have been propagated by some politicians, and mirrored by the press, in the early phase of the pandemic.

People usually go out at night to popular restaurants, cafes, sports bars etc in a neighbourhood streets where residential use along local streets has made way to commercial uses. These places are very vibrant and generate a lot of business (day and night) that they have become important nodes in the city but no study has been commissioned by the city authorities on the contribution these streets make to the local economy. It becomes difficult from a planning perspective to plan and regulate some of the night-time activities that occur in these places to mitigate negative externalities. So I wanted to conduct a study of night-time economies but I don't know what's the best approach or methods to use.

I am a third year Mathematics with Statistics student currently completing a project within multiple linear regression. I am currently struggling to obtain a data set within sports to show how statistics can be used in many areas of life. The data set will have to be continuous for the dependent and independent variables and have applications within sports.

Imagine, for example, a sports car designer, who was solving aerodynamic problems in Wind tunnels, without being able to understand the turbulence, an economist who has been analyzing consumer's psychology for years, without being able to predict wider trends. All these experts, knowing that the components of their disciplines are different, believe that the systems made up of millions of such components must, of course, be different. Do different systems behave differently?

Hi. I am looking into free databases of energy expenditure in sports and free-living conditions, based on heart rate signals and demographic data (gender, age, weight, height).

Vonnegut tells of a "shape of a story" that he calls "man in a hole." It looks like an inverted pyramid or an inverted yield curve.

There are lots of experiences in arts, sports, business, politics and life in general. It is narrative of a sport club that went behind and then turned the tables on its opponent and made the biggest come and won the game. It could also be a person who had it all in life, but for whatever reason, disaster struck and he/she lost it all and hit rock bottom, but managed over time to rise up from the ashes against all odds.

It is also businesses were at one point rode a wave and received accolades, "best employer, fastest growing, most profitable or even the most admired, but something went wrong and the firm hit bottom of the inverted pyramid.

Hello everyone. I was asked to submit our original research (pilot study) to Sports and Exercise Medicine Open Access Journal (SEMOJ)...we are in the process of rewrites and I was ask if the $1000 publication fee is the normal for the industry. I know that when we submitted to the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine (OJSM) they also charged a similar fee. I was wandering if The Sports and Exercise Medicine Open Access Journal is legitimate? I don't mind paying the fee if it gets my work out there to the scientific community. Thanks.

Often, while thinking about the harsh economic situation in countries like Argentina and Brazil, I would say myself, "OMG, what would they have done without soccer!". This study is a good kickoff -- it should be carried out globally by fellow researchers. And, above all, this is a note of hope for the world.

Which role takes the skin temperature and skin moisture level between skin and clothing layer in, in terms of performance level output?

I measured and evaluated skin temperature and skin moisture level during cycling with different cycling clothing setups on different participants. Since sweating is an individual property of each athlete, I'm trying to find a calculation or statements on which microclimate (between clothing and skin) is best fitted for the energy output of an individual athlete under specific environmental conditions.

Hello,

I am hoping to get some suggestions about how to best organize some of my variables. Some background, my study groups subjects by the sports they play (6 sports total) and the outcome variables are on a Likert scale. I plan on doing a Kruskal Wallis test followed by a post hoc Dunn's test to test for differences between sports.

The issue I have is that there is overlap in my groups (some subjects play more than one sport).

What would be the best way to go about organizing my data to minimize confound?

Thank you!

Most Sports will have rules to prevent harm to their participants.

The aim of boxing is to cause harm

How do we justify the existence and support of Boxing as a sport, in this context?

Gladiators were a Roman Era phenomenon. The cruelty associated with it is not justifiable in the Modern Era

It is time to ban Boxing

Agree or not?
