Abstract

PURPOSE This research establishes a reasonable research model to investigate the relationship between the perceived risks, mitigating factors, and travel intentions of potential visitors to the Olympic Games under the COVID-19 epidemic environment. And examine the mediating role of mitigating factors between perceived risk and travel intention. METHOD This study conducted two online surveys with Chinese athletes as the survey subject, divided into two samples for the Tokyo Olympics and the Beijing Olympics. The data analysis process is divided into two stages. In the first stage, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is used to test the reliability and validity of the scale. In the second stage, structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis is used to test the proposed hypothesis. Finally, the data test results of the two samples are compared. RESULT After the CFA test, the data fit well with the model, and the model had good combination reliability and convergence validity. On this basis, a structural equation model was established, and the mediation validity of the model was tested. CONCLUSION The results show that risk perception has a significant effect on mitigating factors, and mitigating factors have very significant positive effects on behavioral intentions. Mitigating factors mediate between risk perception and behavioral intentions.

Abstract

PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate: 1) the change of the key research keywords by period; 2) the key symbolic keywords that represent 20 years of ski research; 3) the sub-research area of ski research. METHOD We searched international journal articles on Web of Science websites and used bibliometrics and keyword networks to determine ski related research trends. To this end, we researched ski sub-research areas of 873 papers published between 2000 and 2019 in 69 international journals involving ski research. This study used python for bibliometrics and word frequency statistics, and centrality analysis cohesion analysis for Netminer. RESULT There have been changes in the keywords for ski research in different time periods. Keywords such as skiing, injury, skier, sports, athlete, training etc. were important in the 2000s. In 2010s, keywords such as speed, strength, women, system, jumping were deemed to be important. In the 2000s, co-words such as knee-injury, sport-injury, ski-downhill, injury-pattern were important, while co-words such as cup-world, level-skill, female-male, illness-injury were particularly important in the 2010s. In the past 20 years, ski research has mainly focused on three major projects’ analysis: cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, and snowboarding. Ski, skier, injury, performance, athlete, sport, time, training have been the core keywords of ski research in the past 20 years. Co-words such as alpine-ski, cross country-skier, alpine-skier are research priorities in the ski field. These keywords represent the research direction in the ski field and development trends. Finally, sub-research area of ski includes four groups: ski and measure, ski and training, ski risk and injury, and ski and technique. CONCLUSION A few core keywords have made a relatively large contribution to the formation of ski knowledge structure; keyword network analysis provides new ideas and research methods for exploring the ski structure and development trends, which is a major academic breakthrough.

Abstract

PURPOSE To explore the effect of functional training on the FMS score and YBT test of sports college students with high risk of sports injury. METHOD A total of 42 students from 2 classes of the second-year physical education major of Shaoguan University were selected as the research objects, and they were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=21) and a control group (n=21). A 12-week functional training program was added to the physical education class of the experimental group, and the traditional strength training program was used in the control group. FMS test and YBT test were conducted one week before and one week after the 12-week training intervention. The collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 21.0 for Window. In this paper, independent-sample t test is used to compare the changes of FMS scores and action completion quality between the two groups before and after training, and paired-samples t test is used to test the scores of FMS and YBT before and after training. RESULT In the first FMS and YBT test, there was no significant difference between the control group and the experimental group. After 12 weeks, the total FMS score of the experimental group participating in functional training was significantly different from that of the control group participating in traditional strength training (p<0.01). The test scores of left and right legs in YBT test were also better than those of the control group. CONCLUSION Experiments have proved that functional training can significantly improve the core strength and body balance and stability of sports college students, and can effectively reduce the incidence of sports injuries. It also provides some reference for the scientific application of functional training in physical education class.

Abstract

PURPOSE In this study, The event-destination image transfer model was used to predict and test the behavioral intention of spectators watching major sports events. Based on The Event-destination image transfer model, this study added place attachment as a new variable to investigate The influencing factors of audience decision-making process. METHOD This study sampled 500 spectators of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup held in Beijing, China. The 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup was held in Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Foshan and Dongguan on September 15, 2019. RESULT After spectators attend a mega-event held in a tourism destination, the event image positively affected the destination image. Destination image directly and positively affected spectators' behavioral intentions toward the destination. Tourists' overall attitude toward the destination was influenced positively by both the destination image and event image. CONCLUSION There are three significant antecedents factors for the behavioral intention of the destination, namely the image of the destination, tourists' overall attitude towards the destination and place attachment. The destination image directly and positively affects place attachment. Place attachment directly and positively affects tourists' behavioral intentions toward the destination.
