The Cardiorespiratory Demands of Treadmill Walking with and without the Use of Ekso GTTM within Able-Bodied Participants
Individuals with neurological impairments tend to lead a predominantly sedentary lifestyle due to impaired gait function and mobility. This may be detrimental to health by negatively impacting cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength, and increasing the risk of developing secondary health problems. Powered exoskeletons are assistive devices that may aid neurologically impaired individuals in achieving the World Health Organisation's (WHO) …
Female Surfers Riding the Crest of a ‘New Wave’ of Irish National Identity
With surfing debuting at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics (postponed from summer 2020 due to the COVID 19 global pandemic) it is timely to consider surfing and the national identifications women in Ireland may have with this sport. As Lee Bush states, ‘with so little scholarship on surfing women, descriptive studies are needed as a foundation for launching future interpretive and critical studies.’[1] Twelve women who surf in Ireland spoke about the links…
Ethical Concerns in Sport Governance
Sport governance no longer stirs public opinion only when scandals surface; it has become a persistent concern for a number of stakeholders, such as the media, sport followers, and corporates that produce and sponsor sport. Contemporary sport governance is characterised by tension between sport’s potential for commercial benefit on the one hand and moral education and social development on the other. The perceived incompatibility of these two asp…
Still as divided as ever? Northern Ireland, football and identity 20 years after the Good Friday Agreement
The signing of the Belfast-Good Friday Agreement in 1998 was widely welcomed by those that interpreted it as offering Northern Ireland the prospect of a fresh start, free from inter-ethnic violence that had blighted the country for almost 80 years. Soon it began to be seen by some observers as the genesis too of a ‘Northern Irish’ identity, as the community at large came to reconcile themselves to their common lives in Northern Ireland. Sport was…

A Social and Cultural History of Sport in Ireland
They’re just not my team’
Rarely, it seems, is the interplay between sport and politics, or perhaps more accurately sport and identity, so apparent as in Ireland. Whilst there has been a considerable degree of work undertaken in examining the historiography of the indigenous sporting organization, the Gaelic Athletic Association, the level of focus on other sports in Ireland has, in comparison, been somewhat more modest. This essay considers the emergence and outworking o…
Wearing their chains willingly
The aim of this article is to challenge the widespread acceptance of player burnout as an athlete's personal inability to deal with the situational demands of sporting competition. Adapting Coakley's earlier assertion that burnout is 'a social problem rooted in the social organization of high performance sport itself', the interactions between Gaelic athletes and the social world in which they exist are unpacked within an Irish context. Linking f…

Board composition in federated structures
This paper examines the issue of board composition within non-profit sport organizations operating in a federated governance structure. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is used as a case study to illustrate the challenges and complexities of comprising a board that has the requisite skill set to carry out its function in a rapidly changing operating environment. Interviews (n = 10) supported by document analysis were conducted with senior ra…
Surveillance by Proxy
This article considers the growing emphasis countries hosting major sporting events place on the implementation of security and counterterrorism measures and the impact this approach has on the civil liberties of their citizens. From the seminal, and ultimately tragic, events of the Munich Olympics in 1972 until the most recent terrorist attack witnessed at a major sporting event-that which marred the close of the Boston marathon of April 2013-th…
Sport, Coaching and Intellectual Disability
Persons with intellectual impairments often have problems in motor learning and in developing motor patterns of movement. The basis of motor learning, as with any other form of learning, lies in cognitive processes, because the movement is composed of mental action, sensory nerve stimulation, the internal actions of the central nervous system, and external physical movement (Eminovic et al., 2010). This chapter identifies common difficulties in m…
Emigrant Players
Ireland and its inhabitants have often been described as being ‘sports mad’. As a relatively small geographical entity, Ireland, north and south, has produced a disproportionately high number of world class sports men and women who have excelled at the highest levels of their chosen sport. The significance of sport in Ireland though extends far beyond the achievements of such individuals. Sport has historically assumed a centrality in the lives o…

While the history of the relationship between sport and politics in Irelandhas been a long and often turbulent one, few men have embodied thisinterplay as vividly as Dick Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald was a revolutionary inevery sense of the word. His politics were unashamedly republican in formand he was a longstanding member of the Irish Volunteers. At the sametime he was an outstanding Gaelic footballer with the famed Kerry team ofthe early part of t…
The ‘silent’ Irish – football, migrants and the pursuit of integration
Much has been written about life and sport in Ireland. In Northern Ireland, such discourse has rarely strayed from the issue of identity politics and all aspects of society appear, even in an era of peace, to reflect some degree of partisanship, including within the realm of association football. In the Republic of Ireland, the emphasis has increasingly been on the growing multiculturalism of that state and at present there exists a real challeng…

Cultural Nationalism, Gaelic Sunday and the Gaelic Athletic Association in Early Twentieth Century Ireland
To date, much of the established historical literature on the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the governing body of Gaelic games in Ireland, has focused on the potential or perceived political agency of the organisation. To this end, great swathes of work that has centred on early twentieth century Ireland has also examined the extent of the relationship the GAA had with other nationalist bodies in the country at that time, such as the Irish R…
Terrorism and the abnormality of sport in Northern Ireland
This article examines the rationale for the limited use of sport by a range of paramilitary organizations in Northern Ireland to supplement their wider political and ideological aspirations. In any divided society all aspects of life are recruited to reveal and occasionally contribute to this separation and periodically, when seeking to attack or undermine 'the other', their sporting pursuits and interests become part of any military offensive.

The purpose of this introduction is to establish the context for the ensuing collection examining the relationship between sport and terrorism within a range of international sporting settings. Drawing upon a host of recent examples this article serves to demonstrate the multifaceted nature of this relationship, how it emerges in remarkably similar fashions within otherwise quite diverse locations and how sport is increasingly being targeted by t…

In developing this theme the essay also considers the future for the rally in light of a range of issues ran…
A People Apart
This article represents one part of a wider research project studying the role sport performs in the construction of identity for Irish nationalists living in Northern Ireland (northern nationalists). A common thread running through this work is the idea that soccer has become entwined in the projection and propagation of Irish identity for nationalists in a way that other sports have failed to achieve as convincingly. The function soccer perform…
North or South? Darron Gibson and the issue of player eligibility within Irish soccer
The issue of player eligibility in Irish soccer is a controversial one. When given the opportunity, players born in Northern Ireland should represent that country at senior international level. However, talented footballers from the Catholic community in Northern Ireland are defecting to the Republic of Ireland in ever increasing numbers. Motivated by a range of factors, from socio‐political beliefs to sporting pragmatism, these players benefit f…
An Opportunity for a New Beginning
This essay examines two issues which for some time have dominated discussions on soccer in Northern Ireland. One is the long‐standing reticence of northern nationalists, Irish nationalists living in Northern Ireland, to attend home international matches. For a range of political, social and ideological reasons large numbers of this community have stayed away from these games for more than three decades. The other is the recent decision by the Bri…
The Gaelic Athletic Association, Rule 21, and Police Reform in Northern Ireland
Society in Northern Ireland has undergone substantial change in recent years, the most controversial aspect of this being the reform of policing following the report of the Independent Commission for Policing in Northern Ireland in 1999. Section 15.2 of the report's recommendations called on the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Ireland's largest sporting body, to repeal Rule 21. This rule prevented security force personnel in Northern Ireland f…

A Champion Inside the Ring and a Champion Outside it’
The career of Barry McGuigan was one that captivated the boxing public. Yet McGuigan had a career that was not restricted to the boxing ring. As a fighter with strong ties to Northern Ireland and the conflict there, McGuigan's career is also one that created a narrative that was intimately linked to the political divisions and sectarian tensions of that region. The paper explores the various meanings that have been given to McGuigan's career, and…

Sport, Identity, and the People of the Irish Border Lands
Among the border people of Northern Ireland—mostly members of the minority Catholic community—the most popular cultural pastime is sport, specifically Gaelic football, hurling, and camogie. These and other sports play a role in the construction of a unique identity for this section of Irish society. Understanding the interplay of local and national forms of representation, within the inherently limited context of sport, lies at the core of any co…

Still Hibernia Irredenta? The Gaelic Athletic Association, Northern Nationalists and modern Ireland
Literature dealing with the socio-political significance of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland has typically highlighted the added importance of the organization for its members in Northern Ireland in comparison to their counterparts in the Republic of Ireland. However few academics have sought to go further and explore the reality of internal division within the organization, a fact often overlooked amid the homogenizing rhetoric o…
