Lived experiences of UAAP Season 84 and NCAA Season 97 student-athletes in their bubble set-up training during the COVID-19 pandemic: A research protocol

Background@#The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the sports industry, postponing events worldwide. To adapt to the situation, athletes have been forced to train at home. Bubble training was introduced to provide a safe and conducive training environment while adhering to government health protocols. However, concerns have emerged regarding the set-up’s implementation.@*Objective@#The study aims to explore the lived experiences of UAAP Season 84 and NCAA Season 97 student-athletes who underwent bubble training.@*Methods@#The study will employ a qualitative phenomenological approach based on Seligman's Well-Being Theory. A purposive sampling technique will be used to recruit at least seven eligible student-athletes. Data will be collected through on-site or online interviews using a semi-structured interview guide to reveal a narrative of the student-athletes' bubble training experiences, common themes, and patterns. Deductive thematic analysis approach will be used with the help of the NVivo software program.@*Expected Results@#This study is expected to develop themes from the daily bubble training routines, habits, coping strategies, and perceived thoughts and feelings of Filipino collegiate student-athletes, regarding their emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement in bubble training. This may provide insights to the government, educational institutions, and athletic associations on possible comprehensive guidelines if they plan to implement bubble training when the need arises.

Facilitadores e barreiras para a dupla carreira do estudante-atleta de elite: uma revisão integrativa / Facilitators and barriers to elite student-athlete dual careers: an integrative review / Facilitadores y barreras para la doble carrera del estudiante atleta de élite: una revisión integradora

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é sistematizar informações de pesquisas realizadas com estudantes-atletas de elite de diversos países, bem como fornecer uma síntese sobre os facilitadores e as barreiras para dupla carreira. A pesquisa foi realizada no Portal de Periódicos da Fundação Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), em um total de 24 artigos, entre os quais 19 foram publicados a partir de 2018, ao passo que 18 abordaram exclusivamente participantes europeus. Identificou-se facilitadores e barreiras à dupla carreira atuando nos níveis individual, social e de setores fora do ambiente esportivo, em que esforços para o apoio ao estudante-atleta se concentraram nos âmbitos político e institucional. Avanços na dimensão científica e em propostas práticas pautadas em evidências se apresentam como desafios para a área.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to systematize information from research conducted with elite student-athletes from different countries and provide a synthesis of facilitators and barriers to dual careers through a search of the CAPES Journals Portal. Twenty-four articles were included. Of these, 19 were published in 2018, 18 of which dealt exclusively with European participants. Facilitators and barriers to dual careers were identified at the individual, societal and non-sporting levels, and efforts to support student-athletes should focus on the political and institutional levels. Advances in the scientific dimension and practical, evidence-based proposals are presented as challenges for the field.

Government grant for athletic scholarships in the Federal District: economic profile, athletic information and academic status of the recipients / Bolsa atleta do Distrito Federal: perfil econômico, esportivo e educacional dos beneficiados / Beca deportista del Distrito Federal: perfil económico, deportivo y educativo de los beneficiarios

ABSTRACT This study outlined the profile of athletes participating in the Athlete Scholarship Program of the Federal District to conduct a processual analysis of factors composing the holistic dual career model. The research sample included 25 athletes who benefited from the program in 2014. Data were collected through an online structured questionnaire about the topic under discussion. The main results indicate that the athletes present no educational delay, have high educational expectations, and that most belong to the highest socioeconomic class. Sporting and educational institutions must stimulate the organization of public policies, increasing public investments in high performance sports.

Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Observation of Cardiac Adaptation in Student Athletes / 体力科学

The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether exercise training cardiac adaptation exists in student rugby athletes, to define an adaptive pattern and to observe the student rugby athletics cardiac adaptive process. Subjects consisted of 42 male senior high school student rugby athletes, who participated in sports in junior high school, and a control group of sedentary students from the same senior high school who were matched for age. Student athletes were measured once a year over a three-year period. Left ventricular internal dimension at the end-diastole (LVIDd) and left ventricular posterior wall thickness at the end-diastole (PWT) were both measured by echocardiography. Because all subjects were growing adolescents, allometric scaling data (which is LVIDd/BSA<SUP>0.5</SUP> and PWT/BSA<SUP>0.5</SUP>) was used for comparison, to preclude the effect of differences in body size on LVIDd and PWT. Cross-sectional comparisons of athletic students with controls were conducted for each of the three senior high school grades, respectively. The data of student athletes during the three-year study was used for longitudinal comparisons. The results of cross-sectional comparisons showed that LVIDd/BSA<SUP>0, 5</SUP> in a student athlete group consisting of the three grades combined was greater than the corresponding control group (P<0.05, P<0.01, respectively) . PWT/BSA<SUP>0.5</SUP> in the athletic group was greater than the control group for the third grade level (P<0.05) . The results of the longitudinal comparison revealed that no significant differences were present in LVIDd/BSA<SUP>0.5</SUP> during the three-year investigation (P>0.05, respectively) . PWT/BSA<SUP>0.5</SUP> at the second and third grade level were obviously greater than at the first grade level (P<0.05, respectively) ; however, no dif. ference between the second and third grade levels existed. The results of this present study suggest that regular rugby exercise training during senior high school obviously induced left ventricular posterior wall thickening in the athletic students. An enlarged left ventricular cavity was observed at the first grade level of senior high school and did not significantly change during three years of senior high school.
