Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Den 5 majl 1814 utfärdades ett kungligt brev med uppdrag åt Per Henrik Ling att i Stockholm inrätta ett institut för utbildning av gymnastiklärare. Det var början till Gymnastiska centralinstitutet (GCI), idag Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan. GIH är därmed världens äldsta verksamma offentliga lärosäte för utbildning av gymnastiklärare/lärare i idrott och hälsa och en unik institution inom svensk och internationell kroppskultur och högskoleväsende.GCI/GIH har varit tongivande inom svensk fysisk fostran under två sekel. Det gymnastiksystem som utvecklades med GCI som huvudman, linggymnastik, och som under 1800- och 1900-talen spreds över världen utgör Sveriges i särklass viktigaste bidrag till den internationella kroppskulturen.Dessutom har den svenska idrottsrörelsen sedan slutet av 1800-talet starkt påverkats av den verksamhet som bedrivits vid institutet/högskolan. Många är de aktiva, ledare och tränare som genomgått utbildningen på GCI/GIH och sedan med framgång verkat inom idrotter på olika nivåer.Med föreliggande antologi, där forskare från olika vetenskapliga discipliner medverkar, lyfts några perspektiv på den verksamhet som bedrivits vid GCI/GIH genom seklen: Tvåhundra år av kroppsbildning är i sanning en gärning väl värd att uppmärksamma.Innehåll:200 år av kroppsbildning : Gymnastiska centralinstitutet / Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, en introduktion / Hans Bolling och Leif Yttergren Gymnastik, nation och manlighet : grundandet av Gymnastiska centralinstitutet 1813 / Jens LjunggrenSvärdet, facklan och staven samt en ek på villovägar? : synen på sjuk och frisk vid GCI 1813 till cirka 1950 / Anders Ottosson Elin Falk, GCI och föreställningar om barnet : en analys av gymnastikstriden vid Stockholms folkskolor 1910-1913 / Pia Lundquist Wanneberg Sally Högström og det moderne kvindeprojekt : svensk gymnastik og GCI's betydning i Danmark / Else Trangbæk Pionjärer med moraliskt mod : ett sekel med en kvinnlig lärarutbildning i kroppsövning / Suzanne Lundvall och Jane Meckbach Rationell träning : GCI:s fysiologiska forskning i möte med samhälle och idrott / Daniel Svensson och Sverker Sörlin Från exercis och dagövningar till Idrott och hälsa : skolans fysiska övningar / Björn Sandahl Idrottsvetenskap - läran om ... idrott? : en nutidshistoria om forskarutbildningsämnet idrottsvetenskap / Håkan Larsson Hövdingarna : GCI/GIH:s chefer under 200 år / Jan Lindroth

Six-month stability of individual differences in sports coaches’ burnout, self-compassion and social support
- 2022
-
In: Psychology of Sport And Exercise. - : Elsevier. - 1469-0292 .- 1878-5476. ; 61, s. 237-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Using a three-wave prospective cross-lagged panel design, the study examined six-month stability of burnout, self-compassion and social support among sports coaches in terms of measurement invariance, mean-level change, rank-order stability, and structural stability. The participating coaches (N = 422; Mage = 44.48, SD = 11.03) completed an online questionnaire measuring self-compassion, social support, coach burnout and demographics at baseline and two follow-ups at three months and six months. The various forms of stability were assessed using structural equation modeling. There was no significant mean-level change in burnout, self-compassion, or social support, and all three constructs exhibited measurement invariance. Rank-order stability remained relatively high, ranging from 0.78 to 0.94 across the three time points. For all three constructs, covariances between latent factors were invariant over time, indicating high structural stability. While self-compassion and social support were positively related, both were negatively related to coach burnout. These results confirm the importance of preventing and addressing symptoms of burnout, low self-compassion and poor social support in sports settings.

Peer support for the maintenance of physical activity and health in cancer survivors : the PEER trial - a study protocol of a randomised controlled trial.
- 2019

In: BMC Cancer. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1471-2407 .- 1471-2407. ; 19:1, s. 656-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Despite an overwhelming body of evidence showing the benefits of physical activity (PA) and exercise for cancer survivors, few survivors meet the exercise oncology guidelines. Moreover, initiating, let alone maintaining exercise programs with cancer survivors continues to have limited success. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the influence of peer support on moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and various markers of health 12 months following a brief supervised exercise intervention in cancer survivors.METHODS: Men and women previously diagnosed with histologically-confirmed breast, colorectal or prostate cancer (n = 226), who are >1-month post-treatment, will be invited to participate in this trial. Once enrolled, participants will complete 4 weeks (12 sessions) of supervised high intensity interval training (HIIT). On completion of the supervised phase, both groups will be provided with written recommendations and verbally encouraged to achieve three HIIT sessions per week, or equivalent exercise that meets the exercise oncology guidelines. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 12 months of peer support, or no peer support (control). Primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed at baseline, after the 4-week supervised HIIT phase and at 3-, 6- and 12-months. Primary outcomes will include accelerometry-derived MVPA and prescribed HIIT session adherence; whilst secondary outcomes will include cardiorespiratory fitness ([Formula: see text]), body composition, quality of life and select cytokines, myokines and inflammatory markers. Random effects mixed modelling will be used to compare mean changes in outcomes between groups at each time point. A group x time interaction will be used to formally test for differences between groups (alpha =0.05); utilising intention-to-treat analyses.DISCUSSION: If successful, peer support may be proposed, adopted and implemented as a strategy to encourage cancer survivors to maintain exercise beyond the duration of a short-term, supervised intervention. A peer support-exercise model has the long-term potential to reduce comorbidities, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and significantly reduce the burden of disease in cancer survivors.ETHICS: Human Research Ethics Committee of Bellberry Ltd.

Weak Electromagnetic Fields Accelerate Fusion of Myoblasts.
- 2021

In: International Journal of Molecular Sciences. - : MDPI. - 1661-6596 .- 1422-0067. ; 22:9
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Weak electromagnetic fields (WEF) alter Ca2+ handling in skeletal muscle myotubes. Owing to the involvement of Ca2+ in muscle development, we investigated whether WEF affects fusion of myoblasts in culture. Rat primary myoblast cultures were exposed to WEF (1.75 µT, 16 Hz) for up to six days. Under control conditions, cell fusion and creatine kinase (CK) activity increased in parallel and peaked at 4-6 days. WEF enhanced the extent of fusion after one and two days (by ~40%) vs. control, but not thereafter. Exposure to WEF also enhanced CK activity after two days (almost four-fold), but not afterwards. Incorporation of 3H-thymidine into DNA was enhanced by one-day exposure to WEF (~40%), indicating increased cell replication. Using the potentiometric fluorescent dye di-8-ANEPPS, we found that exposure of cells to 150 mM KCl resulted in depolarization of the cell membrane. However, prior exposure of cells to WEF for one day followed by addition of KCl resulted in hyperpolarization of the cell membrane. Acute exposure of cells to WEF also resulted in hyperpolarization of the cell membrane. Twenty-four hour incubation of myoblasts with gambogic acid, an inhibitor of the inward rectifying K+ channel 2.1 (Kir2.1), did not affect cell fusion, WEF-mediated acceleration of fusion or hyperpolarization. These data demonstrate that WEF accelerates fusion of myoblasts, resulting in myotube formation. The WEF effect is associated with hyperpolarization but WEF does not appear to mediate its effects on fusion by activating Kir2.1 channels.

Alcohol Consumption Over the Retirement Transition in Sweden : Different Trajectories Based on Education
- 2022
-
In: Work, Aging and Retirement. - : Oxford University Press. - 2054-4642 .- 2054-4650. ; 8:1, s. 74-81
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Retirement is a major life transition that involves changes to everyday routines, roles, and habits. Previous studies suggest that retirement may influence drinking habits. Many natural inhibitors of alcohol consumption disappear with the removal of work constraints. The potential impact depends on both individual and contextual factors. Women in the cohorts undergoing retirement now have been more active on the labor market, including the occupation of higher status jobs, which indicates more financial resources as well as a larger role loss after retirement. Also, the current cohorts who retire have had more liberal drinking habits throughout their lives compared to previous cohorts. We therefore examined changes in alcohol consumption surrounding retirement in different education groups among women and men undergoing retirement using annual data from the Health, Aging and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEARTS) study, a longitudinal national study of 60- to 66-year-olds (n = 5,913), from 2015 to 2018. Latent growth curve models were used to estimate trajectories of alcohol consumption. Results showed that those who retired during the follow-up increased their usual weekly alcohol consumption while those who worked or were retired throughout the period had stable drinking habits. Those who were retired reported the highest alcohol consumption. The increase surrounding retirement was driven by people with higher education. Women with tertiary education and men with intermediate or tertiary education increased their weekly alcohol intake after retirement, while those with low education had unchanged drinking habits. Mechanisms and motivations that may fuel increased alcohol intake among people with higher education should be further investigated.

Cocreating injury prevention training for youth team handball : bridging theory and practice
- 2022
-
In: BMJ Open Sport and Exercise Medicine. - London : BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. - 2055-7647. ; 8:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Although it is advocated that end-users are engaged in developing evidence-based injury prevention training to enhance the implementation, this rarely happens. The € Implementing injury Prevention training ROutines in TEams and Clubs in youth Team handball (I-PROTECT)' uses an ecological participatory design incorporating the perspectives of multiple stakeholders throughout the project. Within the I-PROTECT project, the current study aimed to describe the development of holistic injury prevention training specifically for youth handball players through using knowledge from both end-users (coaches and players) and researchers/handball experts. Employing action evaluation within participatory action research, the cyclical development process included three phases: research team preparation, handball expert-based preparation and end-user evaluation to develop injury prevention training incorporating both physical and psychological perspectives. To grow the knowledge of the interdisciplinary research team, rethinking was conducted within and between phases based on participants' contributions. Researchers and end-users cocreated examples of handball-specific exercises, including injury prevention physical principles (movement technique for upper and lower extremities, respectively, and muscle strength) combined with psychological aspects (increase end-user motivation, task focus and body awareness) to integrate into warm-up and skills training within handball practice. A cyclical development process that engaged researchers/handball experts and end-users to cocreate evidence-based, theory-informed and context-specific injury prevention training specifically for youth handball players generated a first pilot version of exercises including physical principles combined with psychological aspects to be integrated within handball practice. © 2022 BMJ Publishing Group.

On practising in physical education : outline for a pedagogical model.
- 2018
-
In: Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1740-8989 .- 1742-5786. ; 23:2, s. 197-208
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Models-based approaches to physical education have in recent years developed as a way for teachers and students to concentrate on a manageable number of learning objectives, and align pedagogical approaches with learning subject matter and context. This paper draws on Hannah Arendt’s account ofvita activato map existing approaches to physical education as oriented towards: (a) health and exercise, (b) sport and games, and (c) experience and exploration.Purpose: The aim of the paper is to outline a new pedagogical model for physical education:a practising model. We argue that the form of human activity related to practising is not well represented in existing orientations and models. To sustain this argument, we highlight the most central aspects of practising, and at the same time describe central features of the model.Relevance and implications: The paper addresses pedagogical implications the practising model has for physical education teachers. Central learning outcomes and teaching strategies related to four essential and ‘non-negotiable’ features of the practising model are discussed. These strategies are: (1) acknowledging subjectivity and providing meaningful challenges, (2) focusing on content and the aims of practising, (3) specifying and negotiating standards of excellence and (4) providing adequate time to practising.Conclusion: The practising model has the potential to inform new perspectives on pedagogical approaches, and renew and improve working methods and learning practices, in physical education.

Practising movement at home : An idea for meaningful remote teaching in physical education
- 2021
-
In: Idrottsforum.org/Nordic sport science forum. - : Malmö University. - 1652-7224.
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Since March 2020, most physical education (PE) teachers in Scandinavia have faced the challenges of remote teaching. Homeschooling has perhaps been particularly challenging for PE teachers compared to other teachers, given the essential role of bodily contact, interaction, social negotiations, game playing and shared expressions in PE (Varea and González-Calvo, 2020).Having worked with covid conditions for a year now, we trust that teachers have worked out various solutions that, we hope, are relevant and meaningful for the students. At the same time, both from our personal experiences and early research findings (Mercier et al. 2021), it appears that PE teachers have largely provided students with physical activity and fitness training during the pandemic.In this short text, we want to share an idea for a concrete alternative to fitness exercises, which, although important, is only one part of the PE curriculum. It springs from a pedagogical model we outlined in a double article from 2018, which focuses on practising. Practising, which in German is üben and in the Scandinavian languages øve/öva, is, briefly put, a form of activity in which you seek to improve some part of yourself through repeated efforts.Recently, one of our colleagues, Dillon Landi, made us aware that this practising model is particularly relevant for teaching during the pandemic. While we did not have remote teaching in mind when we outlined the model, we realise now that it could be a relevant way of coping with the current situation. It can, we believe, guide how teachers can facilitate movement activities for students at home that are both meaningful and educationally relevant.In the following, we will describe what remote teaching with a focus on practising might look like. We hope it can inspire teaching methods that add to the list of pedagogical options available for teachers during the pandemic.
