“…To effectively retain these population groups in sport, Hockey NSW (and all sports) should adapt elements of their sport delivery. Staley et al (2019) suggests sports should recruit appropriate product deliverers, build the capacity of the delivery organisation, and develop relevant social sport products which align with the specific needs and characteristics of the target groups [ 26 ]. For example, Peralta, Cinelli (28) conducted a sport-based mentoring program with remote Aboriginal communities in Australia.…”

Background Sports have a focus on increasing participation, which contributes to increasing population levels of physical activity, social cohesion and longevity of the sport. The primary aim of this study was to examine reasons for drop-out of a popular team sport in Australia, Field Hockey and identify opportunities to increase participation. Methods This longitudinal study obtained routinely collected registered player data from Hockey New South Wales over two consecutive years, and survey data from registered players who dropped out. Logistic regression models identified demographic subgroups who were more likely to drop out of sport, and the reasons for dropping out. Results In 2018, 8463 (31%) of hockey players did not return to play hockey after the previous season and 805 (10%) of these completed a survey. Specific groups who were more likely to stop playing included 5–6 years (OR: 2.1, 95% CI 1.8–2.6; reference: 12–17 years), females (OR: 1.1, 95% CI 1.0–1.2; reference: males), Indigenous (OR: 1.2, 95% CI 1.1–1.4; reference: non-Indigenous), most disadvantaged (OR: 1.1, 95% CI 1.0–1.2; reference: least disadvantaged) or regional and remote (1.1, 95% CI 1.0–1.2; reference: major cities). Top reasons for drop out were medical/age (17%), change in circumstances (16%) and high cost (13%), lack of time (13%) and lack of enjoyment (7%). Conclusions Although Hockey successfully reaches a large proportion of underrepresented groups in sport, these groups are more likely to drop out. Sports should consult these groups to develop enjoyable, flexible, and modifiable versions of the game that are appropriate to their needs.

“…A major barrier to reducing physical inactivity is the initial engagement and reach to recruit key inactive groups [5,20]. The targeted approach of the Move It AUS grants were based on findings reported by both GAPPA, and through Sport Australia's AusPlay data, which identified key inactive population groups [4,6].…”

“…Casey et al (2011) made the case for long-term commitments in funding strategies and partnerships to provide sustainability, which was echoed from program providers concerned about resources required to maintain delivery [28]. Similarly, Staley et al (2019) found that addressing inactivity through sport requires collaboration and support across multiple levels of the ecosystem [20]. Crosssectoral collaboration is instrumental in reaching specific inactive target groups and should be embedded in future initiatives to support sustained delivery and fair access to sport and PA opportunities across the lifespan [2,5,28,29].…”

National strategies are needed to continue to promote the broader benefits of participating in sport and organised physical activity to reduce physical inactivity and related disease burden. This paper employs the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the impact of the federally funded $150 million Move it AUS program in engaging inactive people in sport and physical activity through the Participation (all ages) and Better Ageing (over 65 years) funding streams. A pragmatic, mixed-methods evaluation was conducted to understand the impact of the grant on both the participants, and the funded organisations. This included participant surveys, case studies, and qualitative interviews with funded program leaders. A total of 75% of participants in the Participation stream, and 65% in the Better Ageing stream, were classified as inactive. The largest changes in overall physical activity behaviour were seen among socioeconomically disadvantaged participants and culturally and linguistically diverse participants. Seven key insights were gained from the qualitative interviews: Clarity of who, Partnerships, Communication, Program delivery, Environmental impacts, Governance, and that Physical inactivity must be a priority. The Move It AUS program successfully engaged physically inactive participants. Additional work is needed to better engage inactive people that identify as culturally and linguistically diverse, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and those that live in disadvantaged communities in sport and physical activities. Tangible actions from the seven key insights should be adopted into workforce capability planning for the sport sector to effectively engage physically inactive communities.

“…This research is oriented to produce a product (Sugiyono, 2013). Research and development is generally based on a new product or a method developed from the limitations of previous researchers to make it simpler or more interesting and accountable (Flynn et al, 2020;Staley et al, 2019). This study uses Brog & Gall steps with a 10-step approach.…”

Development of measuring tools for muscle strength and endurance arm for archery sport holding bow digitec test

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aims to produce a measuring instrument for arm muscle strength and endurance for “Archery Holding Bow Digitec Test”. It creates a new breakthrough that the “Holding Bow Digitec Test” is a tool for measuring arm muscle strength and endurance with high validity and reliability for archery. This research is a type of research and development (R&D) research that uses the Borg & Gall development model which consists of 10 procedures. The subjects involved in this study amount to 33 subjects consisting of 18 male archers and 15 female archers. Data collection techniques use questionnaires, the delphi method, and measurement tests. Data analysis uses the percentage formula for the questionnaire. The validity test uses content validity which is analyzed using the Aiken's v formula and concurrent validity which is analyzed using product moment correlation. The reliability test used a test-retest approach which is analyzed using product moment correlation. The results of the study are a tool for measuring the strength and endurance of the arm muscles in archery called the “Holding Bow Digitec Test”. The contribution of this research is to present a practical archery tool to measure arm strength and muscle power of adult archery athletes. It is the hope of the researcher that this research is continued with a large range of benefits in terms of subject, place and benefits, not only in one category but the tools developed can be used by categories of children and adolescents.
