Discursive barriers to Wushu's Olympic inclusion
As the Olympic Games function not only as a global sporting event but also as a powerful system of institutional governance, inclusion in the Olympic programme has become a key marker of international legitimacy for sports. This article examines the discursive barriers to the Olympic inclusion of Wushu by analysing how key stakeholders interpret and negotiate Olympic standards within global sport governance. Drawing on a constructivist grounded t…
Negative life events and problematic smartphone use among university students
Objectives This study explores how negative life events relate to problematic smartphone use among university students and examines whether self-efficacy acts as a mediator and physical activity as a moderator in this relationship. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among undergraduates at eight universities in Nanchang, China, from November 2024 to March 2025. Validated instruments were used to assess negative life events (ASLEC), se…
Dynamic interactions between physical activity, exercise adherence, and adverse psychological states in Chinese older adults
Background With the accelerating process of population ageing in China, negative emotional problems in older people have become increasingly prominent. Exploring the dynamic relationship between these emotions and physical activity, as well as exercise adherence, is of great significance for promoting the physical and mental health of older people. Methods This study used a longitudinal design to conduct two follow-up surveys of 876 older adult i…
Potential planetary health impacts of the airborne plastisphere
Plastics interact with microorganisms in ways that can profoundly affect ecosystems and human health. Despite their global atmospheric presence, microplastic-microbe interactions in air and their planetary health ramifications remain poorly understood. In this review, by synthesizing emerging evidence, we show that airborne microplastics could carry and sustain microorganisms over long distances and timescales, potentially dispersing pathogens, a…
Challenges to Olympic Inclusion
Despite several attempts from the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) during the past 20 years, 'wushu' (the collective noun for the Chinese martial arts) has not been included in the Olympic program. To understand why the IWUF has not been successful in achieving its Olympic ambition, this study applies a theoretical framework developed by Strittmatter and colleagues to critically analyze why, how and to what extent the IWUF has responded to t…

Do we have to know the hen that lays the eggs? How the disclosure timing of robot chef identity affects consumer perceived ethicality
Although large numbers of robot chefs have entered the restaurant industry, most restaurants using robot chefs do not disclose this information to consumers. Traditionally, human chefs are not identified. Since previous studies have demonstrated that consumers are reluctant to accept food cooked by robot chefs, not disclosing the identity of robot chefs seems to be a strategy for restaurants to increase customer patronage. However, the long-term …
Promoting the Chinese martial arts internationally
The term 'Kung Fu' is used internationally more often than its official name 'Wushu' to depict the Chinese martial arts. Yet the latter term has been promoted by the Chinese government for nearly 50 years and also used by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) during the past three decades. This paper examines the distinction in the meaning between both terms through Stuart Hall's Representation Theory, based on 20 in-depth interviews with int…
Comparative Study on the Joint Biomechanics of Different Skill Level Practitioners in Chen-Style Tai Chi Punching
Purpose: “Yan Shou Hong Cui” is a representative punch in Chen-style Tai Chi. The training is an important factor in affecting the effect of Tai Chi practice. Joint angles are the most intuitive way to evaluate motion. The purpose of this study is to compare the movements of Tai Chi masters and beginners’ movements through the analysis of joint angle and punching effect, and explore the influence of training years on the power generation of Tai C…
Effect of Social Anxiety on the Adoption of Robotic Training Partner
With the development of artificial intelligence technologies, robotic training partner is becoming a reality, which is a substitute for human training partner. Socially anxious individuals feel uncomfortable in front of unfamiliar people or when being observed by others. Playing with robotic training partners can avoid face-to-face interaction with other people. It is unclear whether social anxiety affects the adoption of robotic training partner…
Effects of Tai Chi on the Executive Function and Physical Fitness of Female Methamphetamine Dependents
Purpose: Exercise improves the health and mental status of drug dependents. The way by which Tai Chi (TC) as a special exercise treatment affects executive functions (EFs) of methamphetamine (MA) dependents is yet to be established. This study aimed to explore the effects of TC on the EFs and physical fitness of MA dependents. Methods: A total of 76 female MA dependents were randomly assigned to the exercise and control groups. The exercise group…
Chinese martial arts and the Olympics
The International Wushu Federation (IWUF) has been striving to get wushu (Chinese martial arts) into the Olympics for over three decades. As these efforts have not been successful to date, a study was set up to identify and evaluate the IWUF's underlying 'Olympic policy' assumptions. A theory-based evaluation approach was used which was based on data collected through 20 semi-structured interviews including senior IWUF officials, coaches, nationa…
An Inquiry into the Semiotic Thought of Laozi
Tao Te Ching , the masterpiece of Laozi the renowned philosopher of Pre-Imperial China, plays an important role in Chinese history. Laozi’s philosophy centres on such concepts as ming (names), li (rituals), and dao (the way). Ming , originally developed as a result of human beings’ endeavours to understand the world in which they live and to bring order to their society, has degenerated into the sources of evils and the reason for turbulence when…
Long-Term Effects of Mind-Body Exercises on the Physical Fitness and Quality of Life of Individuals With Substance Use Disorder—A Randomized Trial
Background: Mind-body exercises (MBE) are sequences of low to medium-intensity activities that benefit healthy performers physically and mentally. In contrast to the unmodified application of traditional tai chi, qi gong, or yoga in the healthy population, MBEs are typically tailored for individuals with substance abuse disorder (SUD). Despite numerous applications in practice, the detailed effects of tailor-made MBEs for SUD are unclear. Objecti…
The influence of online cross-recommendation on consumers’ instant cross-buying intention

The Impact of Product Regret on Repurchase Intention
We examined the impact of product regret on consumers' repurchase intention and also the moderating effect of consumers' power state on the relationship between product regret and attribution, through an empirical survey with 203 participants. Results showed that product regret influenced repurchase intention through an attribution tendency toward product regret or a lack thereof. In addition, power state moderated the relationship between produc…
