The Sports Lockdown in Times of Pandemic: Present and Future
(Seven Publicações Ltda, 2022) Neto, Silvestre Cirilo dos Santos; Haiachi, Marcelo de Castro; Terezani, Denis; Neto, Virgílio Franceschi; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose
This chapter analyzes the situation of contemporary sport from the perspective of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of examples related to international sporting events that were affected by the lockdown serves to reflect an expectation about the future of global sport. From a SWOT analysis based on situational assessment, the return of activities is explored in a critical way. The position of senior managers in Olympic and Paralympic sport in relation to the pandemic is also used to discuss the situation in question. It is concluded that the return of activities and the execution of the biggest mega events on the planet must take into account the benefit and health of an entire planet, before any other aspect, but above all, conscious management measures are necessary for the full execution of the project. sports planning.

(2022-01-01) Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose; Milla, Asli Cazorla; Abohassan, Dina Ahmed Mohamed Mourad; Khan, Mohammed Sayeed
Sport has been a major player in uniting people and ensuring peace amongst nations. Nowadays, sports have another agenda item on their list: sustainability. The aim of this chapter was to provide an overview of how United Arab Emirates (UAE) can contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting sustainability in both event management and execution and provide an insight on the sustainable practices and the challenges of implementing such actions. The study used a systematic literature review as well as event reports to validate the importance of sustainable sport tourism in the country. UAE’s Green Economy initiative is clearly derived from the “Green Lifestyle” and “Green City” aligning together with the Good Health and Well Being (SDG 3), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17) of the United Nations SDGs. The great efforts by the country leaders in establishing a long-term vision, Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and UAE 2071, which aims to invest in the future generations by equipping them with the needed skills and knowledge to position UAE as the best country in the world by the next centennial is a testament to the nation’s sustainability action plan. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

Introduction: Despite the progress in the management of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, it is necessary to continue exploring and explaining how this situation affected the athlete population around the world to improve their circumstances and reduce the negative impact of changes in their lifestyle conditions that were necessitated due to the pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyze the moderating influence of physical activity (PA) and dietary habits on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic experience on sleep quality in elite and amateur athletes. Materials and methods: A total of 1,420 elite (40.1%) and amateur (59.9%) athletes (41% women; 59% men) from 14 different countries participated in a cross-sectional design study. Data were collected using a battery of questionnaires that identified sociodemographic data, sleep quality index, PA levels, dietary habits, and the athletes' perception of their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Means and standard deviations were calculated for each variable. The analysis of variances and the correlation between variables were carried out with non-parametric statistics. A simple moderation effect was calculated to analyze the interaction between PA or dietary habits on the perception of the COVID-19 experience effect on sleep quality in elite and amateur athletes. Results: The PA level of elite athletes was higher than amateur athletes during COVID-19 (p < 0.001). However, the PA level of both categories of athletes was lower during COVID-19 than pre-COVID-19 (p < 0.01). In addition, amateurs had a higher diet quality than elite athletes during the pandemic (p = 0.014). The perception of the COVID-19 experience as controllable was significantly higher (p = 0.020) among elite athletes. In addition, two moderating effects had significant interactions. For amateur athletes, the PA level moderated the effect of controllable COVID-19 experience on sleep quality [F(3,777) = 3.05; p = 0.028], while for elite athletes, the same effect was moderated by dietary habits [F(3,506) = 4.47, p = 0.004]. Conclusion: Elite athletes had different lifestyle behaviors compared to amateurs during the COVID-19 lockdown. Furthermore, the relevance of maintaining high levels of PA for amateurs and good quality dietary habits by elite athletes was noted by the moderating effect that both variables had on the influence of the controllable experience during the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep quality.

The relationship between sports teacher – coach role conflict and self-efficacy with the mediating role of sports goal orientation
(Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa, 2023) Ghayebzadeh, Shahrouz; Konukman, Ferman; Vodičar, Janez; Rezazadeh, Hojjat; Eslami, Saeed; Silva, Carlos Alberto Figueiredo Da; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose
Teaching and coaching are two different occupational roles and the responsibilities of teachers and sports coaches can be distinguished from each other. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the role of teacher-coach in sports and self-efficacy with the mediating role of sports goal orientation. This study used descriptive-correlational research. The appropriateness of the measurement model was tested by confirmatory factor analysis. Research data were obtained from 36 physical education teachers through a questionnaire. For data analysis, statistical methods of correlation test and bivariate regression using SPSS-22 and AMOS software were used. The conflict between the roles of sports teacher-coach with the presence of the mediating variable of sports goal orientation indicated a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy. Sports goal orientation also had a positive and direct effect on self-efficacy. The results of the present study displayed a comprehensive view. Accordingly, physical education teachers who have an intermediate role (teacher-centered and coach-centered) showed high self-efficacy and sports goal-orientation. The findings of this study offered valuable information to improve the quality of learning and teaching for sport coaches and physical education teachers.
Stimulus–Response Compatibility During Fighting Task Simulation: Influences of the Opponent’s Spatial Codes on the Accuracy and Response Time
(Human Kinetics Publishers Inc., 2023) de Moura, Andreza Abreus; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose; Conde, Erick Francisco Quintas
Manual Reaction Time measures have been widely used to study interactions between perceptual, cognitive, and motor functions. The Stimulus-Response Compatibility is a phenomenon characterized through faster Manual Reaction Times when stimuli and response locations coincide (correspondent condition) than when they are on different sides (noncorrespondent condition). The present study adapted a protocol to study if the Stimulus-Response Compatibility effect can be detected during a virtual combat simulation. Twenty-seven participants were instructed to defend themselves by clicking a key in order to block the presented punch. Videos of two fighters were used, granting two types of basic strokes: the back fist, a punch performed with the dorsal part of the fighter's hand, starting at the opposite side to which it is directed; and the hook punch, performed with a clenched fist starting and finishing ipsilaterally. The Manual Reaction Times were different between the correspondent and noncorrespondent conditions, F(1, 26) = 9.925; p < .004; η2 = .276, with an Stimulus-Response Compatibility effect of 72 ms. Errors were also different, F(1, 26) = 23.199; p < .001; η2 = .472, between the correspondent (13%) and the noncorrespondent conditions (23%). The study concluded that spatial codes presented at the beginning of the punch movement perception substantially influenced the response execution. © 2023 Human Kinetics, Inc.
Resilience, sport and social projects
(Equalitas, 2023) Monteiro, Luciana B. V. de Resende Hersen; Osborne, Renata; Araújo, Carla Isabel Paula da Rocha; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose; Silva, Carlos Alberto Figueiredo da
This study investigates the contributions of sports social projects (SSP), the student's body image development, and resilience through sport. This work is a narrative review of the literature. Resilience is also a new topic that needs further study. The issue of resilience in SSP is even lower, with a large gap. The findings show that SSP provides benefits thanks to regular sports practice and collaboration in forming students. However, there is also a “shadow side of the sport”, showing that many SSPs are palliative, as they have shallow and unclear goals. For a better analysis of the contribution of SSP and the development of resilience, more studies related to these themes are needed because the material found is still tiny. Even so, this article presents the most used concepts related to these themes, trying to contribute to a more significant discussion. Many youths assisted by the SSP are socially vulnerable subjects who suffer traumas daily linked to their social and cultural conditions. However, they can escape the immobilization caused by these traumas and overcome these adversities by re-signifying their image body. Hence, there is a need for a reaction potential, a process known as resilience. Thus, SSP can be essential in promoting their students' resilience, as they are a foundation for overcoming adversities.

The imposition of COVID-19 lockdown restricted the daily activities of many people, including athletes. This study investigated the training practices of athletes in the Philippines during the early COVID-19 lockdown. A total of 442 athletes answered an online survey (May-July 2020), with questions pertaining to training practices, such as training frequency and duration. Data were analyzed according to: athlete classification (world-class, international, national, state, or recreational), sport category (individual or team), and sex (male or female). During lockdown, significant reductions in training frequency (except recreational, i.e., lower pre-lockdown training) and duration were observed for all athletic classifications. Similarly, training frequency and duration decreased significantly irrespective of sport category and sex. World class athletes appeared to be less affected by lockdown (types of exercise and specific training) as compared to lower-classification athletes. Athletes grouped in accordance with sex and sport category demonstrated little to no difference in training practices during the COVID-19 lockdown. The findings of the current study highlight the challenges experienced by athletes during lockdown, which may aid policy makers in the development of guidelines related to lockdown or lockdown-like situations to establish appropriate support for affected athletes. © 2022, University of Zagreb - Faculty of Kinesiology.

Purpose: To investigate differences in athletes' knowledge, beliefs, and training practices during COVID-19 lockdowns with reference to sport classification and sex. This work extends an initial descriptive evaluation focusing on athlete classification. Methods: Athletes (12,526; 66% male; 142 countries) completed an online survey (May-July 2020) assessing knowledge, beliefs, and practices toward training. Sports were classified as team sports (45%), endurance (20%), power/technical (10%), combat (9%), aquatic (6%), recreational (4%), racquet (3%), precision (2%), parasports (1%), and others (1%). Further analysis by sex was performed. Results: During lockdown, athletes practiced body-weight-based exercises routinely (67% females and 64% males), ranging from 50% (precision) to 78% (parasports). More sport-specific technical skills were performed in combat, parasports, and precision (∼50%) than other sports (∼35%). Most athletes (range: 50% [parasports] to 75% [endurance]) performed cardiorespiratory training (trivial sex differences). Compared to prelockdown, perceived training intensity was reduced by 29% to 41%, depending on sport (largest decline: ∼38% in team sports, unaffected by sex). Some athletes (range: 7%-49%) maintained their training intensity for strength, endurance, speed, plyometric, change-of-direction, and technical training. Athletes who previously trained ≥5 sessions per week reduced their volume (range: 18%-28%) during lockdown. The proportion of athletes (81%) training ≥60 min/session reduced by 31% to 43% during lockdown. Males and females had comparable moderate levels of training knowledge (56% vs 58%) and beliefs/attitudes (54% vs 56%). Conclusions: Changes in athletes' training practices were sport-specific, with few or no sex differences. Team-based sports were generally more susceptible to changes than individual sports. Policy makers should provide athletes with specific training arrangements and educational resources to facilitate remote and/or home-based training during lockdown-type events. © 2022 Human Kinetics Publishers Inc..

Factores que influyen sobre las actitudes hacia la participación de la mujer en el deporte = Factors influencing attitudes towards women's participation in sport
(Universidad de A Coruña, 2022-09-01) Cruz-Morales, Karla Noelia; Muñoz-Helú, Hussein; Rios Mena Gaxiola, Javier Arturo ; Guimarães-Mataruna, Andressa Fontes; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose; Reynoso-Sánchez, Luis Felipe
Sport through the influence of educational institutions improve the promotion of gender equity. The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of gender, area of academic formation and sports practice over the attitudes towards women's participation in sports by the student community of the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (UAdeO). A cross-sectional study with correlational-explanatory scope was realized with 3,716 (71.3% women and 28.7% men) UAdeO students. The scale about the perception of attitudes towards women's participation in sports (AWPS) was applied. Comparisons were made according to gender, type of sport practice and area of study and regression coefficients were calculated between the sociodemographic variables and the AWPS using the method of introducing variables. The results show that the gender, sports practice, and area of study variables were significant predictors of three scales of the AWPS. Likewise, differences were observed in the AWPS factors as a function of sociodemographic variables. It is possible to conclude that the attitudes towards women's participation in sport of the participants are influenced by the variables gender, sport practice and area of studies.

Avaliação dos riscos de transmissão do SARS-CoV-2 durante o treinamento de um clube de futebol no Brasil = Evaluation of the risks associated with the transmission of SARS-Cov-2 during a professional football club's training in Brazil
(School of Physical Education and Sport of the University of São Paulo (EEFEUSP), 2022-08-30) Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose; Silva, Gabriel Nascimento; Nascimento, Rodrigo Mendonça do; Oliveira, Eduardo Thomaz de; Costa, Angela Marta Souza da; Cavalari, Nadine Tonelli; Ortiz-Silva, Bianca
COVID-19 is an infectious disease with respiratory transmission caused by the new coronavirus. Due to the high viral transmissibility, sports activities were severely impacted all over the world and in Brazil football was paralyzed for about four months. The objective of this study was to identify the activities with the highest risk of Covid-19 transmission in a professional soccer club in Rio de Janeiro based on a cross-sectional study with a semi-quantitative emphasis. The results showed that physical training showed a greater number of touches (105) with a high prevalence of hand on the ball (94%). The antibody search found that 24,2% tested positive for IgG during the study. During the training phase, no cases of SARS-CoV-2 transmission between players and staff were identified. It is believed that biosafety measures and the individual and collective commitment of everyone to social isolation and hygiene measures are an important strategy for the viability of sports activities.

Review on social sports projects in Brazil: Review update, qualitative methanalysis and research gap perception
(Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica, 2022) Perovano-Camargo, Leonardo; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose; Da Silva, Otávio Guimarães Tavares
Brazil is a country of great social inequalities, and both sports and social projects are credited as potential modifiers of these realities. Based on this principle, this study seeks to understand how social sports projects were studied, planned, and evaluated, based on the scientific literature. A review with characteristics of qualitative meta-analysis was carried out in the Portal of Periodicals of CAPES with the descriptors 'project'; 'sports'; and 'social'; and after the inclusion of only peer-reviewed journals, analysis of titles and abstracts, and consequent exclusion of articles that did not specifically deal with sports projects of a social nature, a total of nine articles were reached for full reading. The most relevant themes for the research objective were "social vulnerabilities", the "diversity of methodologies used to obtain the results", and "gaps found in the discussions/omissions about the methodologies worked and evaluations of the declared objectives". It is concluded from the results of the participants' speeches that those spaces are valuable, due to the offer of different experiences than the harshness found in the daily life of the peripheral spaces to which they lived. However, it is believed that there are ways pointed out in the literature to plan, execute, and evaluate the effects on the life world of these young people more effectively. It is intended that this review can serve as a basis for future studies that seek to make empirical analyzes in other social sports projects, due to the quality perceived in the methodological approach of the articles. © Copyright: Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física (FEADEF).
DIAMOND OF THE DESERT: THE CASE OF QATAR’S 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP
(University of Rijeka, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Opatija, 2022) Russo, Eduardo; Figueira, Ariane; Swart, Kamilla; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose
For the first time in the Arab world, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022 was one of the main drivers for promoting important infrastructural changes in the country, as well as for transforming the image of Qatar in order to make the destination more attractive to foreign tourists. However, despite the great wealth from its Oil & Gas reserves, several social challenges that historically affect the country began to emerge due to greater coverage of the international media, threatening the expectations of positive legacies left on the country's image from the event. Given this context, the case puts the reader in the role of Ahmed Al-Nasr, then Chairman of the Qatar Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, as he faces different pressures made by major international brands sponsoring the event who now see their image threatened by successive controversies that the country has been involved in and they are threatening to withdraw their support and investments. The case is indicated for undergraduate and graduate students of courses in the area of Tourism, Sport Management, and Business interested in discussing topics and concepts related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility, management of mega events, international marketing, and country destination image.
Esporte antes e depois
(Autonomous University of Lisbon, 2021) Marcon, Giovani; Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Leonardo Jose
Por ser o espelho da sociedade, estamos próximos de uma grande mudança no mundo esportivo. A oportunidade de refletir e dar um grande salto para uma evolução extraordinária será inevitável por todos nós. É evidente que este momento de crise é uma consequência de anomalias do ecossistema muito antes de janeiro de 2020. O fato é que a história se dividirá entre a era antes da COVID-19 (AC2020) e a era depois da COVID-19 (DC2020). Nos últimos anos, com o fim da terceira revolução industrial, a sociedade brasileira aguardava com entusiasmo a tão chegada era do Conhecimento. Enquanto grandes autoridades e corporações promoviam a disrupção digital, com a promoção da democratização da tecnologia, erramos todos, impactados com as respostas dos nossos atos.

This work analyzes the cooperative principle and its importance for self-management. It also verifies in the literature a possible contribution to the objective for sustainable development number 4, with the potential to develop skills and technical competencies for the cooperative members, mainly in the self-management of recovered companies and in the specialized training of the local community. Education and professional training appear as a relevant factor in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda, such as Goals 4.3 and 4.4, indicating the importance of these processes to all countries. Brazil has vocational schools with technical level courses for traditional professions and the S System, such as the National Service for Cooperative Learning (SESCOOP) and others, whose objective is to train professionals for the job market.

Objective: To investigate the effect of (i) lockdown duration and (ii) training intensity on sleep quality and insomnia symptoms in elite athletes. Methods: 1454 elite athletes (24.1±6.7 years; 42% female; 41% individual sports) from 40 countries answered a retrospective, cross-sectional, web-based questionnaire relating to their behavioral habits pre- and during- COVID-19 lockdown, including: (i) Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI); (ii) Insomnia severity index (ISI); bespoke questions about (iii) napping; and (iv) training behaviors. The association between dependent (PSQI and ISI) and independent variables (sleep, napping, and training behaviors) was determined with multiple regression and is reported as semi-partial correlation coefficient squared (in percentage). Results: 15% spent < one month, 27% spent 1-2 months and 58% spent > two months in lockdown. 29% self-reported maintaining the same training intensity during-lockdown whilst 71% reduced training intensity. PSQI (4.1±2.4 to 5.8±3.1; mean difference (MD): 1.7; 95% confidence interval of the difference (95% CI): 1.6 to 1.9) and ISI (5.1±4.7 to 7.7±6.4; MD: 2.6; 95% CI: 2.3 to 2.9) scores were higher during- compared to pre-lockdown, associated (all p<0.001) with longer sleep onset latency (PSQI: 28%; ISI: 23%), later bedtime (PSQI: 13%; ISI: 14%) and later preferred time of day to train (PSQI: 9%; ISI: 5%) during-lockdown. Those who reduced training intensity during-lockdown showed higher PSQI (p<0.001; MD: 1.25; 95% CI: 0.87 to 1.63) and ISI (p<0.001; MD: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.72 to 3.27) scores compared to those who maintained training intensity. Although the PSQI score was not affected by the lockdown duration, the ISI score was higher in athletes who spent > two months confined compared to those who spent < one month (p<0.001; MD: 1.28; 95% CI: 0.26 to 2.3). Conclusions: Reducing training intensity during the COVID-19-induced lockdown was associated with lower sleep quality and higher insomnia severity in elite athletes. Lockdown duration had further disrupting effects on elite athletes’ sleep behavior. These findings could be of relevance in future lockdown or lockdown-like situations (e.g., prolonged illness, injury, and quarantine after international travel). © 2022 Romdhani, Fullagar, Vitale, Nedelec, Rae, Ammar, Chtourou, Al-horani, BEN SAAD, Bragazzi, Donmez, Dergaa, DRISS, Farooq, Hammouda, Harroum, Hassanmirzaei, Khalladi, Khemila, Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Moussa-Chamari, Mujika, Muñoz Helú, Norouzi Fashkhami, Paineiras-Domingos, Rahbari Khaneghah, Saita, Souissi, Trabelsi, Washif, Weber, Zmijewski, Taylor, Garbarino and Chamari.
