Photovoice as an unfamiliar act of citizenship: everyday belonging, place-making and political subjectivity

Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to determine the reliability of normalizing rapid force (RF) production to peak force assessed during an isometric knee flexor assessment, and to present a novel method of classifying athletes' potential training needs within the 90À90 isometric hamstring assessment. Procedures: Twenty elite female soccer players (age: 20.7 § 4.7 years; height: 168.2 § 5.5 cm; body mass: 62.8 § 7.0 kg), with no recent (>6 months) history of hamstring strain injury, volunteered to participate in the study. Following a standardized warm-up, each participant performed three maximal isometric hamstring contractions, with their heel resting on a force plate, elevated on a box, to ensure that their hips and knees were at 90°Data was analyzed to determine peak for (PF), RF was established as force expressed at 100 ms (F100) and force expressed at 200 ms (F200), with force at each time-point subsequently normalized to a percentage of PF. Findings: F100 and F200 normalized to PF demonstrated good absolute reliability (%CV = 6.12À7.62) and moderate relative reliability (ICC = 0.689À0.703). Concurrently observing PF and normalized F100 and F200 could provide clear training and monitoring goals. Conclusions: Normalizing measures of RF production, including F100 and F200, to PF can be performed reliability. Therefore, could be tracked overtime to identify changes as an effect of training or for fatigue monitoring purposes. However, further research is required to determine how knee flexor force-time characteristics change in relation to focused training and how these characteristics change in response to fatiguing activities.

Using Photovoice to Explore Migrant Women's Sociospatial Engagement in Diverse Local Urban Areas of Santiago, Chile

“…Photovoice is a participatory visual method in which research participants are invited to take photographs to respond to diff erent questions and express their views of particular themes (Biglin 2022;Harper 2012;Scârneci-Domnişoru 2017). Th is participatory visual technique mediates migrant voices in a way that promotes creativity, critique, and counter-discourses while narrating their experiences as city dwellers (Datta 2012).…”
