The participants included 259 Taiwanese and 193 Hong Kong CSAs, with a gender split of 55.53% female and 44.47% male. Of these athletes, 43.36% participated in contact sports, and 56.64% participated in noncontact sports. The results revealed three themes. First, both the Taiwanese and Hong Kong CSAs had positive attitudes towards gay and lesbian, and significant gender differences were observed in the aspects of campus climate, team support, and stigma. Second, no significant sports differences were observed in Taiwanese CSAs, but significant sports differences were found in the aspect of campus climate among the Hong Kong CSAs. Finally, no significant gender and sports differences were observed in the aspects of campus climate, team support, and stigma. Future studies are recommended to include participants from other Asian countries to understand the regional sports cultural differences towards gay and lesbian people. The results and information derived from such studies could facilitate the development of strategies for creating inclusive sports environments.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132724862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given there are increasing numbers of international soccer players migrating to the Chinese Super League (CSL) – a trend which appears to be one of the vital forces that are reshaping current soccer labour migration – this study is designed to rethink and revisit soccer labour migration. Since not much is known about the nascent nature of migration to the CSL, an overriding goal of this study is to understand how mainstream media portray global soccer labour migration to the CSL. To do this, this study used a content analysis of three newspapers (The Sun, Daily Mail, and Daily Mirror) from 2011 to January of 2017 in the UK. The results of this study revealed a majority of these newspapers highlight a mercenary dimension of labour migration, while the mercenary dimension often was combined with an ambitionist dimension. The results of this study also showed that the newspaper articles examined lack a comprehensive interplay of culture, globalization, and migration. Future research directions are suggested based on the results of the study.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125662867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, during 1949 and 1997, Hong Kong football talent was recruited by Taiwan to compete under the name of the Republic of China (ROC). The predominately Hong Kong team won two gold medals under the ROC banner at the Asian Games in 1954 and 1958. Yet their Hong Kong provenance was barely recognized by most Taiwanese people. Second, when Taiwan found itself in a dire diplomatic situation during the 1970s, football embodied the struggle for international recognition. At the same time, Hong Kong was able to maintain its football passion and heritage Finally, when the People’s Republic of China (PRC) began to gain control over Hong Kong and, thereby, heavily influence Taiwan in the twenty-first century, football is again a bridge that forms an alliance for the two jurisdictions. In the present period, instead of governmental and nationalistic motives, it is civil society that is appropriating football to bolster the democratic alliance between Taiwan and Hong Kong vis-à-vis China, their common significant other, as evinced during Hong Kong’s ‘Umbrella Revolution’.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129314414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A framework used in measuring organizational effectiveness is the Sport Policy Factors Leading to International Sporting Success model. The model specifies Critical Success Factors (CSFs), operationalized into measurable concepts, to evaluate success in international competitions. The aim of this article is to evaluate relevant CSFs that influence international sporting performance of the Philippines based on selected elite athletes. Further, the study explores the relationship between CSFs and international success output based on the 2015 SEA Games medal results, where if the participating National Sport Associations’ overall rating of sport policy factor is high, the international performance also is relatively high. Otherwise, when the perceived quality of these key factors is low, the output may not be as successful as expected.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124137517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study is to employ a qualitative meta-synthesis method to explore the literature on dual career experiences of elite athletes from 1996 to 2015. A total of nine studies were examined with regard to how elite athletes experience dual careers (combining athletic career with education or work). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed during the process to produce a clear statement of applicability of this study. A thematic synthesis was performed and a map of constructs reflected that interpersonal issues played an inter-connected and essential role in influencing elite athletes to a large extent. Potential stakeholders, especially parents and peers, were considered significant targets in implementing support programmes in order to impact the perceptions and feelings of elite athletes towards a dual career. Further research is needed to apply the findings of this study as a conceptual framework for a particular context in which the dual career development of elite athletes is less explored, especially in the context of China.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126134325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine these constructs in long-term (at least five and then at least 10 years) Shotokan karate practitioners (n = 77) and a control group (n = 49). The participants completed the Body Awareness Questionnaire and the Spiritual Connection Questionnaire in a martial-arts training camp. In the karate group, there was no correlation between the past history of karate (months of training) and body awareness or spirituality. Further, there was no statistically significant difference between the karate group and the control group on either of the two dependent measures. Finally, a contrast between the short- (5–10 years of experience) and long-term (25+ years of experience) practitioners has revealed a statistically significant difference in spirituality, which was due to age (used as covariate) rather than the karate practice. These findings suggest that Western karate, primarily focusing on the physical aspects of the training, has transformed from an ‘art’ into a ‘sport’ with a new emphasis on winning instead of body awareness and/or spirituality. The fact that Shotokan karate will represent itself among many other sports at the Tokyo Olympic games clearly supports this conclusion.","PeriodicalId":320773,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Sport and Social Science","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128030479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
