These injuries can significantly impact athletes' psychological and behavioral well-being, influenced by factors such as athletic identity, self-efficacy, prosocial behavior, and prior injury history. While the Biopsychosocial Model of Sport Injury Rehabilitation offers a comprehensive framework for understanding injury recovery, limited research has examined how athletes respond to multiple injuries over time.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This qualitative study applied the Biopsychosocial Model to explore the lived experiences of eight male high school football players who sustained multiple injuries during a single season. Each participant missed at least one week of play and/or one game per injury. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to investigate emotional responses, perceived social support, and stress management. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, following an inductive approach that allowed themes to emerge organically from participants' narratives.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Participants shared detailed accounts of their injuries, recovery processes, and the broader impacts on their lives. Thematic analysis revealed four overarching themes: (a) emotional response, (b) sources of support, (c) stress effects, and (d) coping strategies. Athletes described a wide range of emotional and behavioral responses, including frustration, anxiety, and determination. Support systems-such as family, coaches, and teammates-played a critical role in their recovery. Stress related to performance, identity, and future prospects was common, and athletes employed various coping mechanisms, including mental reframing, goal setting, and seeking social support. These responses were shaped by individual injury histories and personal resilience.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>The findings highlight the complex and varied ways high school football players experience and manage multiple injuries. Emotional reactions, support networks, and coping strategies all play a role in shaping recovery outcomes. Understanding these lived experiences can inform more holistic and personalized approaches to injury rehabilitation. Interventions that address emotional well-being, enhance social support, and promote effective coping strategies may improve recovery and reduce the risk of future injuries.</p>","PeriodicalId":12716,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sports and Active Living","volume":"7 ","pages":"1583467"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12223562/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144559977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a decrease in green exercise, especially during winter. Adverse weather conditions, such as precipitation and cold weather, lead to this decrease. However, another factor might be found in the availability of adequate sports spaces and facilities for green exercise during those conditions. So far, the availability of suitable sports spaces and facilities for urban year-round green exercise, particularly under varying meteorological conditions, remains underexplored. This study aims to assess the supply and suitability of urban sports spaces and facilities for year-round green exercise in Germany on an individual and organizational level. A comprehensive online survey was conducted to assess the supply from an individual-level perspective as well as from an organizational-level viewpoint. Results indicate that the availability of sports spaces and facilities for urban year-round green exercise is rated as adequate on an individual level. However, there are significant variations depending on age, sports type, and individual connection to nature. On the organizational level, however, the suitability of existing sports spaces and facilities is rated low. The study found a strong correlation between perceived accessibility and the likelihood of engaging in green exercise, suggesting that better-designed and promoted facilities could enhance participation rates. Moreover, the lack of adequate courses and information about existing year-round green exercises poses additional barriers that must be addressed by urban planning and sports governance.</p>","PeriodicalId":12716,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sports and Active Living","volume":"7 ","pages":"1598959"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12223774/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144559973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our opinion, movement competency should be emphasised together with the physiological and biomechanical attributes of rowing performance. Based on the literature, we have proposed the following definition, '<i>sport-specific movement competency for rowers incorporates the physical attributes of mobility and stability through the shoulders, trunk, hips, knees and ankles along with the associated muscular strength and endurance' to coordinate and execute a technically effective stroke'</i>. Our definition highlights that rowers need to coordinate different regions of the body through appropriate joint positioning and movement patterns to safely optimise force development capacity during the stroke cycle.

In essence, the principle signifies the right to self-regulation and reflects the ability of sport governing bodies (SGBs) to determine their own structures and rules, free from interference by external actors. Despite growing academic and practitioner interest, there is still no consensus as to what the term \"autonomy\" exactly means and how widely the principle is (supposed to be) applied in a changing world of sport. This article systematically maps the extent of research on the concept of sport autonomy, including its applications and limitations. Based on the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR), our review identified 205 records examining sport autonomy between 1982 and 2024. The results reveal a notable increase in sport autonomy research over the last decade, demonstrating the increasing importance of the topic. The majority of records is non-empirical and focus on international multi-sport governing bodies, highlighting a Western-dominated nature on sport autonomy. Based on a qualitative content analysis, we contribute to theory by extending the multidimensional understanding of sport autonomy. Autonomy is a dynamic and multifaceted concept that needs to be studied in the dimensions of the interlinked autonomies. Our findings indicate that the borders between autonomies in sport governance practice are ambiguous, calling for more empirically driven research in future assessments. The great heterogeneity of SGBs requires a sophisticated deconstruction of different dimensions and conceptualisations of autonomy of sport, focusing on autonomy as a spectrum.</p>","PeriodicalId":12716,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sports and Active Living","volume":"7 ","pages":"1593673"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12222117/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144559979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
