  • Breaking in New Futbol Boots
    Breaking in New Football Boots By Damien Cronley New football boots can be particularly unforgiving when they are used for the first few weeks. Breaking in your new footwear is very important for all football players. It is not really a good idea to wear brand new football boots in any sort of competitive game. This is because the shoes will be very tough on your feet and could give you some painful blisters. There are plenty of steps you can take to speed up the process of breaking in new football boots. A very popular method with many players is to soak the boots in warm water. The water only needs to be warm to the touch. If the water is very hot, it can melt the adhesives and other materials used on the football boot. A simple way to achieve this is to put on some football socks and your new boots with the laces tied up. Then sit in the bath for 15-20 minutes and this will help the boots to mould to your unique foot shape. You can introduce your new boots gradually over a period of time. This reduces the risk of soreness and blisters on your feet. At the same time this approach ensures the footwear is being used to some extent. Next time you are going to football practice or training take your new football boots along with an older pair. You can wear your new boots for the first twenty minutes then change into the older ones. You can increase the period you wear the new pair for longer spells over a period of time.

  • Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team
    “It is about the flag on your chest!” Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team. A matter of inclusion? An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

  • Anti-Doping in Football Project Has Been Funded with Support from the European Commission (ERASMUS+ Sport 2019)
    This Anti-Doping in Football project has been funded with support from the European Commission (ERASMUS+ Sport 2019). This publication and all its contents reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Anti-Doping in Football Historically anti-doping efforts have focused on the detection and deterrence of doping in elite sport and football has not been an exception. However, there is a growing concern among policy makers and sport stakeholders that doping outside the elite sporting system is an expanding and problematic phenomenon, giving rise to the belief that the misuse of doping agents in recreational sport has become a societal problem and a public health concern. Whereas the latter is happening at high level, the same level of awareness is missing among amateur football players representing a major issue if we consider the social harm and impact upon both users and sport communities doping abuse might create. The use of drugs in football is not widely associated with the sport because of lack of evidence, unlike individual sports such as cycling, weight-lifting, and track and field. Much closer collaboration and further investigation is needed with regard to banned substances, detection methods, and data collection. This project addresses the issue of awareness and support at the amateur grassroots football level. Despite calls from European institutions through official documents and expert groups for coherent approaches, there is much to be done in football. The lack of a coordinated approach ANTI-DIF PROJECT I APRIL 2019 I [email protected] 1 at EU level undermines also the possibility to have a comprehensive picture of the overall situation to understand which actions must be urgently delivered.

Specifikt undersöks push-notiser från Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter för att se vad som karaktäriserar det redaktionella innehåll som sänds ut via push- notiser. För att kartlägga de respektive dagstidningarnas användning av push-notiser tillämpas en kvantitativ innehållsanalys där push-notiserna kategoriseras utefter ett kodschema med bestämda variabler och variabelvärden. Studiens teoretiska ramverk har utgångspunkt i teorier om medielogik, nyhetsvärdering, hårda och mjuka nyheter samt kommersialisering och sensationsjournalistik. Utifrån teorin, samt tidigare forskning om vad som blir nyheter, skillnader mellan morgonpress och kvällspress samt rubrikanvändning, diskuteras studiens resultat.

Br J Sports Med 2003;37:170–175 Background: The capacity of the plantar sole of the foot to convey information about foot position is reduced by conventional smooth boot insoles, compared with barefoot surface contact. Objective: To test the hypothesis that movement discrimination may be restored by inserting textured replacement insoles, achieved by changing footwear conditions and measuring the accuracy of judg- ments of the extent of ankle inversion movement. Methods: An automated testing device, the ankle movement extent discrimination apparatus (AMEDA), developed to assess active ankle function in weight bearing without a balance demand, was used to test the effects of sole inserts in soccer boots. Seventeen elite soccer players, the members of the See end of article for 2000 Australian Women’s soccer squad (34 ankles), took part in the study. Subjects were randomly authors’ affiliations allocated to start testing in: bare feet, their own football boots, own football boot and replacement ....................... insole, and on the left or right side. Subjects underwent six 50 trial blocks, in which they completed all Correspondence to: footwear conditions. The sole inserts were cut to size for each foot from textured rubber “finger profile” Dr Waddington, sheeting. Physiotherapy Department, Results: Movement discrimination scores were significantly worse when subjects wore their football The Canberra Hospital, PO Box 11, Woden, ACT boots and socks, compared with barefoot data collected at the same time.
