“…Moreover, like other groups of practitioners within the field of kinesiology, the role has been continually shifting to meet new and emerging practice expectations. For example, evidence shows that personal trainers routinely take on a multitude of roles, including those of teacher, trainer, counselor, coach, supervisor, supporter, nutritionist, biomechanist, bodybuilding evaluator and consultant, life management advisor, weight controller, personal life consultant, business person, and physical fitness advocate (Chen, 2006;Chiu, Lee, & Lin, 2010;McKean, Slater, Oprescu, & Burkett, 2015;Smith Maguire, 2001. In this context, it can be noted that very few forms of regulation exist to restrict the types of work they undertake in practice environments.…”

Kinesiology researchers have long had an interest in physical activity, fitness, and health issues and in the professional education and work practices of teachers and coaches. The professional development needs and practices of "fitness professionals," however, have not been a major concern for researchers in the field. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the evidence on fitness professionals, their role in physical activity for health agendas, and the professional education and training that is available to support them. The analysis indicates that there is a mismatch between the expectations placed upon fitness professionals and the training and professional education that is available to them. It is argued that pedagogy researchers in kinesiology could usefully turn their attentions to this occupational group.

“…Satty (1980) suggested that CI = 0 represents the survey takers' consistency before and after the assessment of the decision factor, signifying that there are no discrepancies between the two, while CI = 0.1 is the permissible error tolerance. When CI = 0.1 the consistency of the matrix is satisfactory, and thus it can be said that the whole evaluation process reaches consistency (Chiu et al, 2010). In this study, the CR of the whole matrix is 0.07, and thus is acceptable and satisfactory.…”

“…The Delphi method not only enables the collection of wide and numerous evaluation standards, but also maintains the quality of individual expert judgment [4]. However, since opinions are often expressed with adjectives such as "good" or "bad", some level ambiguity is likely to result from the Delphi process.…”

Performance Indicator Framework for Evaluation of Sustainable Tourism in the Taiwan Coastal Zone

et al. 2016

Abstract:Surrounded by the ocean, Taiwan has been increasingly developing coastal tourism projects. Concerns that negative impacts might be brought about by prosperous tourism have resulted in a recent focus on sustainable tourism. Sustainable tourism involves policies that acknowledge the interdependences among the environment, the community, and the economy. The goal of sustainable tourism is to enhance and protect the environment while satisfying basic human requirements, as well as those of the contemporary and future tourism industries to improve quality of life. On the other hand, unsustainable coastal tourism might undermine the natural environment and society, resulting in air, water, and soil pollution, wildlife habitat disruption, and changes of local community cultural characteristics. Therefore, performance evaluation of coastal tourism, using an indicator framework to facilitate sustainable development and enhance the effectiveness of coastal resources exploitation, is critical. Through a literature review and expert surveys using the methods of the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), this study builds a performance indicator framework and identifies the key factors affecting the sustainable development of coastal tourism in Taiwan. The results can serve as a reference for the public sector to be used for the sustainable planning and development of coastal tourism.
