Active lifestyle health tourism
The tourism industry has experienced consistent growth and has increasingly contributed to global and regional value creation. Health tourism is one of the most significant developments, having experienced a resurgence at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In recent years, a distinct trend has emerged, especially since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic: travellers prioritising an active, healthy lifestyle and seeking health-oriented holi…
Leisure sickness unveiled
The mystery of leisure sickness
Leisure sickness, a cover story of parascientific journals, lacks a current distinguishing. Therefore, 15 European participants who experienced health complaints during time off work took part in semi-structured online interviews, which were evaluated via focused interview analysis. The interview focused on the type, duration, timing and intensity of complaints during time off. Respiratory tract complaints were the most frequent, followed by head…
Doping in Paralympic sport
IntroductionLimited effort has been invested in understanding doping in Paralympic sport. The limited evidence that exists suggests that factors influencing doping in parasport are similar to Olympic sport. However, based on the design and nature of the previous studies, where methods have been mostly limited to qualitative data and prevalence numbers, further research is warranted to extend previous findings.MethodsInformed by current evidence f…
Thoracolumbar Rotation During Tai Chi Movements—A Biomechanical Analysis of the Entire Peking Style Routine
The impact of spinal mobility and sagittal spinal shape on the development of balance impairment supports the hypothesis that enhancing spine flexibility results in an improvement in postural balance ability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the range of motion of thoracolumbar rotation during the movements of the Tai Chi Peking style routine is sufficient to improve thoracolumbar flexibility. Three-dimensional kinemati…
GRADE IT-A Literacy-Based Assessment Tool for Generating Research-Based Assessment Data to Evidence the ImpacT of Anti-doping Education via Athletes' Capability to Make the Right Decision
The International Standard for Education (ISE) mandates Code Signatories to plan, deliver, and evaluate anti-doping education. Performance-based evaluation of anti-doping education requires alignment between educational goals, content, and defined outcomes. Based on an existentialist teaching and learning philosophy, we aimed to develop and test an anti-doping impact evaluation tool, to assess the impact of anti-doping education on doping awarene…
Characteristics of Victims of Fall-Related Accidents during Mountain Hiking
The study evaluated characteristics of non-fatal mountain hiking accidents caused by falls. Questionnaires were sent to mountain hikers who suffered a fall-related accident in Tyrol (Austria) during a 3-year period. The questionnaire included details of socio-demographic data, physical activity, medication intake, defective vision, breaks, fluid intake, level of fatigue, muscle soreness, use of backpacks, use of hiking sticks, and type of shoes. …
Feasibility of Ski Mountaineering for Patients Following a Total Knee Arthroplasty
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is socially relevant due to its high prevalence, high incidence and the affected population. A subpopulation of TKA patients exists that strives to be active and also return to sports after total joint replacement. In this context, a further group of TKA patients is interested in high-impact physical activities and want to proceed with such activities even after surgery. Focusing on winter sports, there i…
Short Vacation Improves Stress-Level and Well-Being in German-Speaking Middle-Managers—A Randomized Controlled Trial
Stress in the work place has a detrimental effect on people's health. Sufficient recovery is necessary to counteract severe chronic negative load reactions. Previous research has shown that vacationing for at least seven consecutive days provided an efficient recovery strategy. Yet, thus far, the effects of short vacations and the mode of vacation (whether at home or in a new environment) have rarely been studied. We investigated the immediate an…
Does leisure time negatively affect personal health
Against all assumptions, leisure and vacation appear to not be recuperative to the same extent for all people. The phenomenon of becoming ill on weekends and/or during vacation has been termed “leisure sickness”. Attempts to understand this problem can be found in the current literature. Vacation for the wrong motivations or a mismatch between leisure activity and personality are some of the reasons. Other reports show associations between simila…
