Psychologists around the world are increasingly focused on questions about meaning. Are people living meaningful lives? What makes work meaningful? What is the role of meaning in psychological health? However, few psychologists of sport have focused their efforts on the question of meaning in sport. One exception is Dr Matteo Luzzeri whose PhD research focused on understanding meaning and its relationship to identity, commitment, and burnout in sport.

This first episode with Matteo focuses on the concepts of meaning in life, meaning in work and meaning in sport. What do we know about sources of meaning in peoples’ lives? Can we make a case for domain-specific meaning in sport? Can we apply the meaningful work literature to studying meaningful sport? What about age-related differences in meaning in sport? And what are the possible threats to meaningful engagement in sport?

Dr Matteo Luzzeri defended his doctoral dissertation titled “The effects of a meaning-oriented online writing intervention on commitment, stress, and burnout in collegiate athletes” at Florida State University in early 2020. He has also validated (together with G. M. Chow) the Meaning in Sport Questionnaire (MSQ) recently published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise.

Beyond Walking: What Really Needs to Change to Reduce Childhood Obesity – Dr. Rob Noonan (Pt3)

25 september 2024 | 27 min

"Is walking to school really enough to tackle childhood obesity?"

In this third episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Rob Noonan explore the complex issue of childhood obesity and the social factors that contribute to it.

Dr. Noonan shares surprising findings from his research, showing that while children from deprived areas are more likely to walk to school, they are also more likely to struggle with obesity. This challenges the assumption that simply increasing physical activity, like walking, is enough to combat childhood obesity. The discussion delves into the deeper, systemic issues at play, such as poor diets, reduced access to sports, and the social environments in which children live.

The conversation further explores how behavioral interventions alone won’t solve the issue of childhood obesity, as they fail to address the underlying causes - economic, psychological, and environmental factors. Dr. Noonan calls for a broader, policy-driven approach that creates healthier environments for children, rather than just relying on individual behavior change. If you're interested in how policy, environment, and health are interconnected, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the root causes of childhood obesity and what needs to be done to tackle it effectively.

Pain, Recovery and Physical Activity - Post-Surgical Experience - Dr. Marcus Komann (Pt1)

27 augusti 2024 | 16 min

📰 Can post-surgical pain really not affect physical activity? Dr. Marcus Komann’s groundbreaking study reveals a surprising disconnect between pain levels and movement, challenging what we thought we knew about recovery. 🧑‍⚕️📊

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen sits down with Dr. Marcus Komann, a distinguished IT coordinator and researcher at Jena University Hospital, to explore the unexpected findings from a comprehensive European-funded study on post-surgical pain and patient mobility.

Dr. Komann, with a unique background in computer science and artificial intelligence, transitioned into the medical field and has spent the last 15 years investigating the complexities of pain, an area notoriously difficult to quantify.

"Exploring Views on Getting Children Involved in Sports"

"Challenging initiatives fail to attract inactive children"

"Revamping Children's Sports: Beyond Winning and Competing"

"Alternative Physical Activities vs Traditional Sports Programs"

"Alternative physical activity for inactive children tested"

Johan Högman is interested in the social and cultural dimensions of how and why children move their bodies. He believes that physical activity is important for all children, regardless of the type of activity, and that understanding the societal views of physical activity is vital in ensuring that more children are able to participate.

Johan's research involves digging deeper into the conditions that impact physical activity in children and the factors behind why some children may not be as active as others.

Overall, he is passionate about promoting physical activity and helping more children to move their bodies in healthy ways.

"On this episode of Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, we discuss the challenges of engaging physically inactive children in sports activities. Our speaker explains that while some children love sports and physical activity, those who are not as active perceive it as sporty and competitive, making them less likely to participate.

To address this issue, our researcher recommends changing the ordinary business of sports clubs and offering more diverse activities that appeal to non-athletic children. The episode covers the use of the bioecological theory to understand the factors that prevent children from enjoying physical activity.

The theory helps to examine individual traits and abilities and how they interact with the cultural and environmental factors. The podcast also shares insights on the best practices for conducting focus groups to collect children's experience and perceptions regarding physical activity.

Finally, our speaker talks about the ongoing efforts to come up with alternative physical activities that are enjoyable and accessible to inactive children by conducting a 12-week program with playful activities like Pokemon Go and trampoline parks to measure the effectiveness compared to traditional sports activities."

The challenge is that in many cases, the prescribed exercises are not entered in the patient chart, causing confusion for both patient and staff regarding the extent to which these orders are actually followed.

One solution for this dilemma is the Activity Board, which clearly visualizes the individual exercise schedule prescribed by the physical therapist for the patient. By placing the Activity Board at the patient’s bedside, staff and patients can easily follow up at any time of day to ensure that all exercises were carried out, including on weekends and holidays when the physical therapist is not always available. The Activity Board is also appropriate for patients with other medical problems, as well as for residents of assisted living facilities who are receiving care, or individuals who live at home and are undergoing rehabilitation with the assistance of home help services.

12 mars 2023 | 23 min

What are the basics of physical activity measurement with devices?

a. Sensor location: thigh, hip, back, wrist
b. Type of data you can get: raw -> steps -> activity type -> activity intensity -> “complexity”
c. Considerations to have when choosing a sensor
i. User-friendliness (battery, aesthetics, comfort, interaction required)
d. Feedback to participants
i. Real-time or at defined moments
e. Feedback to practitioners (dashboard)
f. In most cases, you can also measure sleep.

Effects of Exercise on Ostoarthritis - Dr Søren Thorgaard Skou (Pt3)

10 januari 2023 | 16 min

Søren Thorgaard Skou (PT, MSc, PhD) has vast experience within the field of osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions and has been the principal investigator of several high-quality randomized controlled trials on surgical and non-surgical treatment, one of which was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (impact factor of 79.26), the highest ranked of all general medical journals.

Currently, he is the principal investigator of a randomized, controlled trial of meniscal surgery vs. exercise therapy and education for young people with a meniscal tear (DREAM) and a 5-year EU-funded project (MOBILIZE, grant agreement No 801790) with the overall aim of improving health in people with more than one chronic condition (i.e. multimorbidity) through personalized exercise therapy and education.

Furthermore, he is the co-lead of Exercise First, a research program funded by Region Zealand aimed at developing, testing and implementing initaitives that support that the individual patient received the right prevention and treatment at the right time and to increase self-management using e-health.

He is one of the main architects and leader of the implementation of the highly successful treatment program Good Life With osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) for patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis.

Furthermore, he is a recipient of a prestigious ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council, and a postdoc grant and a Sapere Aude Research Talent Award from the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

How Multimorbidity Differs from Comorbidities? Dr Søren Thorgaard Skou (Pt1)

20 december 2022 | 17 min

Søren Thorgaard Skou (PT, MSc, PhD) has vast experience within the field of osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions and has been the principal investigator of several high-quality randomized controlled trials on surgical and non-surgical treatment, one of which was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (impact factor of 79.26), the highest ranked of all general medical journals.

Currently, he is the principal investigator of a randomized, controlled trial of meniscal surgery vs. exercise therapy and education for young people with a meniscal tear (DREAM) and a 5-year EU-funded project (MOBILIZE, grant agreement No 801790) with the overall aim of improving health in people with more than one chronic condition (i.e. multimorbidity) through personalized exercise therapy and education.

Furthermore, he is the co-lead of Exercise First, a research program funded by Region Zealand aimed at developing, testing and implementing initaitives that support that the individual patient received the right prevention and treatment at the right time and to increase self-management using e-health.

He is one of the main architects and leader of the implementation of the highly successful treatment program Good Life With osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) for patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis.

Furthermore, he is a recipient of a prestigious ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council, and a postdoc grant and a Sapere Aude Research Talent Award from the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

Announcement Related to the Rest of the 2022 - Irregular Publishing Schedule

Dear listeners,

So it happened that both of the podcast hosts became parents on the very same day!

Recordings have been swapped to diaper changing and lullaby singing. This means that the Meaningful Sport Series will be paused until about the end of the year.

Regular episodes and Practitioner`s Viewpoint Series will be running but with less episodes. Some of the popular episodes will be republished from earlier days of the podcast.

Thanks for your understanding and we hope that the over 400 episodes so far will provide something to listen to meanwhile. We are enthusiastic about the podcast and grateful for all the positive feedback and support, it really makes our day. While we scale back we would still appreciate all your feedback and suggestions on who and what you would like to hear in the podcast as it will be returning to full swing next year.

Have a great autumn all,

Noora and Olli

Sport in Later Life: Countercultural or the New Ideal? Prof. Rylee Dionigi - Meaningful Sport Series

5 augusti 2022 | 29 min

Opportunities for involvement in sports in later life have increased significantly and many sports around the globe have competitions and categories for Masters/Veteran athletes. At the same time, researchers have explored the experiences and meanings of being an older athlete, showing tensions in individual experiences as well as in shifting social discourse surrounding sport and ageing. We have shifted from ageing-as-decline to active ageing discourses, which provide different imagination of growing old. But are there also some darker sides in the shift towards more positive visions of ageing?

Rylee Dionigi is a professor in of Sport and Exercise Science at Charles Sturt University with expertise in qualitative research as well as sociology of active living and ageing. She has studied Masters sports for over 20 years and shared her insights from this extensive work in the podcast.

Questions explored in the conversation include: How did the cultural discourses shift in the last 20 years? Have athletes' experiences and meanings of sport also shifted at the same time? What are the different pathways to Masters sport and do they map into different relationships with sport? Why are active ageing discourses also potentially problematic?

Audio of the ProPASS' 4th Annual Meeting 27-28 April 2022

SurPASS is a sister project to ProPASS. SurPASS aims to develop and evaluate an e-system for measuring daily physical behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviours, and sleep) at work and non-work time of working adults.

The vision of the SurPASS project is to develop a system for measuring physical behaviours in large adult populations that:

accurately measures physical behaviours
has low participant burden (e.g. easy to use and high hygiene)
has low administrative burden (e.g. cheap in cost, automated analytics, low logistic burden, high data security, low expertise demands)
can be used in large-scale surveillances and cohorts
can be used at national and international levels.

The system will consist of:

A SENS motion® patch-based tri-axial sensor for long-term monitoring of physical behaviours to be attached to the thigh. Such device can be sent to participants via postal mail and participants can attach the sensor themselves. The device can measure and store data for several weeks, and encrypt and transmit data to a secured server.

An app on participants' smartphone to initialise the measurements, provide a user guide, automatically upload data to a secured server, and provide visual feedback on the physical behaviours to the participants after the measurement period.
A web application for administrators for registering participants, managing sensors, and viewing and exporting data.
A secured server based on SENS motion® technology for automatically
- importing encrypted data from a sensor (via app), decrypting it and storing it regularly
- cleaning and analysing sensor data based on previously validated algorithms to identify physical behaviours.

In this episode we are talking with Dr Peltonen about the themes related to his PhD dissertation:

Isometric Force-Time Parameters in Monitoring of Strength Training
With Special Reference to Acute Responses to Different Loading Resistances

Training monitoring has been a common trend in endurance sports and activities over the past several years through the use of heart rate monitors, pedometers, cycling monitors etc. Nevertheless, athletes and enthusiasts, even the same ones as in endurance sport, train in the gym without any accurate training monitors most trainees still keep a training diary by pen and paper. New miniature technologies and their lowered prices enable the development of new innovative monitoring solutions, however these solutions need valid parameters to follow adaptations in strength training as well. One possibility is to utilize isometric strength testing through in-built devices or retrofit sensors.

The physiology of the human body reacts to strength training in several
ways, and thus neuromuscular adaptation via stress and fatigue is a multifaceted phenomenon from the aspects of time and complex causal dependencies. Therefore, one justifiable theoretical framework is that the performance outcome is the sum of all these physiological changes with performance technique, both in terms of improvement and impairment, due to a single-session of gym exercise and regularly repeated gym sessions (i.e. strength training). However, monitoring via only one training-specific parameter may overestimate the effect of this specific training and overlook or hide other aspects of changes in physiology of the trainee. Training specificity is a well-known and longstanding principle in the field of sport and exercise science (Baker et al. 1994).

Video description:

This video goes through different accelerometer and activity tracking options for researchers. If you are a researcher who needs to track physical activity and/or sedentary behaviour this video should be valuable for you. We are going to look at different devices from many different manufacturers and their pros and cons.

And it is not like one device would be the optimal device for all projects. Every project is different and there are many factors that determine what kind of device would be the best fit for your purposes.
These factors include for example, who are your participants? Are they small kids whose wrist might be too small for big bulky devices? Are they elderly who might not be accustomed to use smart phone or even email?

Do you need to provide participants feedback only after the intervention or already during the intervention? So, if you are doing projects which aim to behaviour change you possibly need to be able to give feedback right after the measurements. There are actually big differences related to this between different devices and this is something you might not remember to consider when focusing too much attention to specifications of the devices.

One important factor is also, whether physical activity is main outcome variable in your study, or whether you just, for example, need to exclude that changes in physical activity did not influence your results. In the latter case, you might just want to have a device that just makes data collection and analysis as easy as possible.

Do you need also accurate results related to sitting and sedentary behaviour? In that case, you want to consider a thigh-worn device as it is basically the only wearing position that can do posture allocation accurately.

In general, wearing location is of crucial importance for any project. In my opinion, it comes down to compliance and accuracy.

Many studies are using wrist-worn devices as people have been used to wearing watches, and a watch-like activity tracker is really easy to wrap around the wrist. So, it is easy, and compliance generally good.

Then there are thigh-worn devices. Influential ProPass consortium is recommending thigh as a preferred location for accelerometers as it provides more accurate results than other wearing positions. This is straightforward as we are moving with our legs and not with our arms and in sitting vs standing thigh is changing its angle, which we can detect with a thigh-worn device.

Therefore, one justifiable theoretical framework is that the performance outcome is the sum of all these physiological changes with performance technique, both in terms of improvement and impairment, due to a single-session of gym exercise and regularly repeated gym sessions (i.e. strength training).

Dr Timo Rantalainen - Accelerometry | Gait | Elderly

In this episode, we have Dr Timo Rantalainen, who is Research Fellow at the Gerontology Research Center, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

Dr Rantalainen’s area of expertise pertains to neuromuscular and skeletal systems, specifically skeletal adaptation to mechanical loading and neural control of muscles, with a focus on estimating lower limb loading and bone responsiveness. His current research interests include: 1) the effect of loading on bone geometry, 2) neuromuscular function of muscle, 3) muscle and bone adaptations with age, and 4) the measurement of bone geometry using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT).
