“…College students who participate in PE regularly can better regulate their bad mood and adopt a more active PB to cope with the risk of the COVID-19 pandemic. Extending the opening hours of sports venues on campus, conducting online sports guidance ( 96 ), holding online sports competitions, such as online marathons (all participants need to upload real-time mileage within the specified time ( 97 ), and holding sports exchange forums on campus ( 98 , 99 ) are considered to be effective measures to encourage college students to take more physical exercises.…”

Following preventive behaviors is a key measure to protect people from infectious diseases. Protection motivation theory (PMT) suggests that perceived risk motivates individuals to take protective measures. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented stress to the public, and changes in perceived risk may be more pronounced among college students than among other groups due to the related campus lockdown. With 1,119 college students recruited as research subjects, a quantitative research was conducted in Wuhan, China, to deduce the relationship between the perceived risk and preventive behavior of college students, as well as between the mediation effect of individual affect and the moderating effect of physical exercise. The results showed that the preventive behavior of college students was significantly affected by perceived risk, and both positive affect and negative affect played a mediating role between perceived risk and preventive behavior. Specifically, positive affect aided the relationship between perceived risk and preventive behavior, negative affect was detrimental to their relationship, and the mediation effect of positive affect is significantly higher than that of negative affect. Furthermore, physical exercise played a moderating role in the mediation effects of positive affect and negative affect. Therefore, appropriate measures should be taken to strengthen Chinese college students' perceived risk and provide them with corresponding guidance. The importance of physical exercise should also be emphasized to help college students with low perceived risk reduce negative affect, increase positive affect, and promote their preventive behavior.

“…The regulation, structure, and function of recreational sports may create an environment vulnerable to SV. While the activities of intercollegiate athletes on and off the field are closely monitored and regulated by an institution’s athletic department (NCAA, 2022), recreational sport departments allow student-run sport clubs to operate with little oversight over the athletes’ activities (Lower-Hoppe et al, 2021). Though intramural sports programming is more closely regulated (Mull et al, 2005), supervision of activities is limited to athletes’ on-field behavior and appointed to student employees to enforce student conduct policies (Stier et al, 2008).…”

“…While those engaging in recreational sports appear to be at risk for SV, there is a lack of SV prevention training. Within the sports club context, university training is only delivered to sports club officers (not all members) and predominately focuses on club operations and general risk management (Lower-Hoppe et al, 2021). Within the intramural sport context, Carr et al (2012) found university training is delivered through captain's meetings and focuses on sport rules, intramural policies, and sportsmanship.…”

In the United States, college students have been identified as a high-risk group for sexual violence (SV) victimization and perpetration, with one in three women and one in four men experiencing SV in their lifetimes. Therefore, studies investigating both perpetration and victimization across genders are pertinent. Additionally, in the context of higher education, athletics is often viewed as a high-risk environment for SV. Despite established relationships between SV and intercollegiate athletics, research on this topic is not conclusive due to the heterogeneous nature of college sports, as well as a dearth of research on recreational athletes. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the differences in SV victimization and perpetration among intercollegiate, recreational, and non-athlete populations. Additional context was provided by exploring variables at multiple levels of the socio-ecological model for violence prevention, as these factors can be important aspects of a person’s development and may inform behavior. Utilizing a sample of 62,996 students from 199 institutions of higher education in the United States, multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess individual- (i.e., personal demographics), relationship- (i.e., athlete status), and community-level (i.e., institutional characteristics) predictors of SV victimization and perpetration. The results indicated that recreational athletes are the most at-risk group, experiencing and perpetrating SV at higher rates than non-athletes. Results on institutional status and individual characteristics, as well as implications for practitioners and future research is discussed.

“…Critical indicators of sport club success largely reflected individual clubs' activities, operations, and status, which aligns with previous research. The literature points to high engagement in sport activities (e.g., practice, competition), efficient management of daily club operations, and administration of a healthy financial budget as predictors of sport club success (Lower-Hoppe et al, 2020a). While winning competitions is often recognized as an indicator of success in college sports (Lower-Hoppe et al, 2020b), the panel lacked agreement on this indicator, placing greater emphasis on participants' experience and development and the club's effectiveness as a student-run organization.…”

“…Based on the logic model approach (Cooper & Faircloth, 2006), practitioners must first identify the critical success indicators (i.e., targeted outcomes) to employ appropriate evaluation methods. Considering varied and perhaps competing priorities across university stakeholders (Lower-Hoppe et al, 2020a), sport practitioners should facilitate multi-level (i.e., program, department, university) dialogue amongst key stakeholders to collaboratively develop program inputs, activities, and outputs which inform targeted outcomes. Engaging multi-stakeholders in the evaluation process will ensure the program collects data suitable for program improvement/expansion and garners university support.…”

Collegiate sport club programs are increasingly expected to demonstrate effectiveness and impact, as such the evaluation of program success is critical. Current evaluation methods are often subjective and lack standardization across programs. Unlike other recreational programs, sport clubs have unique organizational structures, with student officers responsible for various tasks related to club operations with unclear measurable outcomes. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating how collegiate recreation departments evaluate sport club program success and identifying critical success indicators. A Delphi design was used to gather expert opinions, and qualitative and quantitative data analysis was employed. The findings highlight various evaluation methods employed by administrators, including annual assessments, participant interviews, and point systems. Furthermore, indicators of success encompassed club activities, operations, and status, as well as participants’ experiences and development. These findings provide valuable insights for program administrators to tailor support and enhance the effectiveness of collegiate sport club programs.
