Analys av träningstider inom föreningsidrotten. En studie av sju lagidrotter sett ur ett ålders- och könsperspektiv
- 2007
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I Riksidrottsförbundets (RF) styrdokument Idrotten vill framgår att ett av de centrala målen för idrottsrörelsen är att alla som vill, oavsett ålder eller kön, ska få delta i den organiserade föreningsidrotten. För att uppnå detta mål krävs bland annat att fördelningen av träningstiderna, men även tillgängligheten till de olika träningsanläggningarna är jämlikt fördelade. Mot bakgrund av detta har syftet med studien varit att beskriva, kartlägga och analysera fördelningen av träningstider ur ett ålders- och könsperspektiv samt utifrån olika lagidrotter.Datainsamlingen genomfördes av Centrum för Marknadsanalys AB (CMA) och riktade sig till 417 (av totalt 6 800) slumpvis utvalda föreningar inom idrotterna bandy, basket, fotboll, handboll, innebandy, ishockey och volleyboll. Målgruppen för undersökningen var de idrotter som hade flest antal utövare och tillhörde kategorin lagidrotter. En ytterligare avgränsning var att respektive förening skulle bedriva verksamhet för såväl pojkar som flickor. Vid datainsamlingen kontaktades föreningarna inledningsvis via telefon, där ett antal attitydfrågor ställdes. Föreningarna skickade sedan in träningsscheman till CMA som registrerade materialet i en databas. På grund av svårigheter att nå alla föreningar via telefon, kompletterades undersökningen med ett brevledes utskick till slumpmässigt utvalda föreningar. Den slutgiltiga analysen, bearbetningen och avrapporteringen utfördes av forskargruppen Idrottsvetenskap på Karlstads universitet.Resultaten visar att majoriteten av de undersökta föreningarna har prioriteringsordningar för fördelning av träningstider och att dessa i första hand baseras på ålder och nivå på utövandet. I snitt driver 1 av 10 föreningar egna anläggningar där fotbollen dominerar med 1 av 5 föreningar med egen anläggning. Resultaten pekar på att fördelningen av träningstider i olika typer av anläggningar följer ett relativt traditionellt mönster inom de flesta undersökta idrottsgrenarna. Principen är att ju yngre deltagare i lagen desto tidigare träningstid. Man kan inte heller utläsa i materialet att någon grupp, pojkar eller flickor, skulle vara särskilt förfördelade, vilket överensstämmer med resultat från tidigare studier inom området.Denna studie pekar på ytterligare behov av såväl bred som fördjupad kunskap i frågor somrör detta angelägna problemområde. I framtida studier bör man således låta flera delar av idrotts-Sverige ingå i urvalet. Vidare bör de mest populära individuella idrottsgrenarna för unga idrottareingå. I detta sammanhang är det också relevant att kunna undersöka och analysera kvaliteten påde anvisade anläggningarna, då detta indirekt kan vara ett mått på en prioriteringsordning. I diskussionen förslås två rekommendationer, där den första vänder sig till landets kommuneroch andra ägare och förvaltare av idrottsanläggningar och RF. I de uthyrningsbestämmelser och principer för fördelning av tider som upprättas, skall det klart vara inskrivet att man beaktar att tiderna skall fördelas på ett sådant sätt att man eftersträvar ett tydligt jämställdhetsperspektiv. Den andra rekommendationen ges till Sveriges skolor och den handlar om ett fördjupat samarbete mellan skolor och idrottsföreningar likt Handslagets satsning på integrering mellan skola och föreningsliv.

Causes and consequences of dropping out from organized youth sports
- 2013
-
In: Swedish Journal of Sport Research. - 2001-6018 .- 2001-9475. ; 2:1, s. 26-54
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to examine dropout reasons and various types ofdropouts in relation to demographic variables, various types of sports, physicalactivity, and underlying motivational processes. Retrospective data was collected fromthree cohorts including 1,176 participants, of which 712 stated that they hadsometimes dropped out of organized sport. Findings showed that time-related reasonswere the primary causes for dropping out. It was also revealed that athletes with lowversus high levels of perceived physical competence dropped out to a higher extentbecause of experiencing too much pressure, and athletes reporting low versus highsocial competence withdrew to a higher extent because they did not like theirteammates. Results also showed that girls with a foreign background had a higher rateof dropouts compared to boys with the same background. Girls with foreignbackgrounds were also found to be less physically active after dropping out fromorganized sports.

‘The teacher makes us feel like we are a family’ : Students from refugee backgrounds’ perceptions of physical education in Swedish schools
- 2022

In: Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1740-8989 .- 1742-5786. ; 27:5, s. 531-544

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: Over the past five decades, the number of people from refugee backgrounds in developed countries has been on the constant rise. Although the field of refugee and forced migration studies in relation to education and sport has grown considerably in recent years, very little is known about refugee-background students’ perceptions of Physical Education (PE).Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate refugee-background students’ perceptions of PE in Swedish high schools, using a salutogenic approach.Participants and settings: This qualitative study was conducted in two Swedish high schools and involved eleven students from refugee backgrounds aged 16–18 years (seven boys and four girls) who originated from a variety of countries including Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Ethiopia and Albania.Data collection/analysis: A total of 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the interviews were systematically coded and analyzed using the sense of coherence (SOC) components as analytical tools.Findings: Three themes were identified that captured the students’ perceptions and experiences: (1) PE was perceived as more meaningful in Sweden than in their country of origin due to short-term benefits (e.g. social interaction with friends, and improving personal health and wellbeing) and long-term benefits (e.g. learning for the future); (2) understanding the rules and purpose of the activities helped students to better comprehend the experiences acquired in PE and communicate with others; and (3) constructive social relationships with teachers and classmates were an essential resource in order to make PE manageable.Implications: We suggest that strengths-based approaches should be recognized and incorporated into PE in order to facilitate health promoting factors and wellbeing among students from refugee backgrounds.

Hope and athlete burnout : Stress and affect as mediators
- 2013

In: Psychology of Sport And Exercise. - : Elsevier. - 1469-0292 .- 1878-5476. ; 14:5, s. 640-649

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- ObjectiveIn this study we examined the relationship between trait hope and burnout in elite junior soccer players and whether stress and positive and negative affect mediated this relationship.MethodsParticipants were 238 Swedish soccer players (166 males, 71 females; one did not indicate gender) aged 15–19 years who completed questionnaires measuring trait hope, perceived stress, positive and negative affect, and athlete burnout (i.e., emotional/physical exhaustion, a reduced sense of accomplishment, and sport devaluation).ResultsBivariate correlations were consistent with hope theory contentions indicating significant negative relationships between hope and all three burnout dimensions. The relationship between hope and emotional/physical exhaustion was fully mediated by stress and positive affect. For sport devaluation and reduced sense of accomplishment, stress and positive affect partially mediated the relationship with hope. In contrast, negative affect did not mediate the relationship between hope and any of the burnout dimensions.ConclusionThe results support earlier findings that hope is negatively related to athlete burnout. Support was also found for the hypothesis that high hope individuals would experience less stress and therefore less burnout. Promoting hope may be relevant in reducing the likelihood of this detrimental syndrome.

Profiles of perfectionism, parental climate, and burnout among competitive junior athletes
- 2016
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0905-7188 .- 1600-0838. ; 26:10, s. 1256-1264

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recent research suggests that groups of athletes can be identified that differ in terms of perfectionism and perceptions of achievement climate. Moreover, these groups also differ in terms of burnout symptoms. The purpose of the current study was to extend this research by examining whether discernable groups can be identified based on scores of perfectionism and perceptions of parent-initiated climate and, then, whether these groups differ in terms of burnout. Two-hundred and thirty-seven Swedish junior athletes (124 male and 113 female aged 16-19) from a variety of sports completed measures of athlete burnout, multidimensional perfectionism, and parent-initiated motivational climate. Latent profile analysis identified four groups: non-perfectionistic athletes in a task-oriented climate, moderately perfectionistic athletes in a task-oriented climate, highly perfectionistic athletes in a task-oriented climate, and highly perfectionistic athletes in a mixed climate. The latter two groups reported higher levels of burnout in comparison to other groups. The findings suggest that junior athletes high in perfectionism may be at comparatively greater risk to burnout and that this may especially be the case when they perceive their parents to emphasize concerns about failure and winning without trying one's best.

Perceptions of Stress of Swedish Volunteer Youth Soccer Coaches
- 2020
-
In: Sports. - Basel : MDPI. - 2075-4663. ; 8:11
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: The work of a coach can be stressful, and little is known about how volunteer coaches in child and youth soccer perceive stress. Therefore, the overall aim of this study was to explore perceptions of stress among Swedish volunteer youth soccer coaches. Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed to 1514 soccer coaches of which 688 (78% men and 22% women; 4% < 30 years, 34% 31–40 years; 57% 41–50 years and 5% > 51 years) with non-profit positions responded. Results: Findings indicate that participants in general do not feel excessively stressed by being a volunteer youth soccer coach (M = 2.20; SD = 0.93; Min = 1; Max = 5), and no significant differences in perceived stress level were found based on gender, age, ethnicity, educational level or occupation. Multiple regression analysis showed that demands from employment (β = 0.24, p < 0.001), difficulty catching up with the family (β = 0.22, p < 0.001), not having enough time to plan activities (β = 0.13, p < 0.001), feeling pressured when selecting the team (β = 0.09, p = 0.013) and own demands to achieve good results (β = 0.07, p = 0.045), significantly contributed to perceptions of stress among the investigated youth sport coaches. Conclusions: The results shed light on the important aim that sport clubs develop holistic strategies when recruiting and retaining coaches and for other functions concerning child and youth soccer teams. © 2020 by the authors.
