“…The systematic practice of a sport branch influences the harmonious development of personal autonomy. Our results are consistent with those emphasised in the literature (Kim & James, 2019). Hogg (1995), talking about the humanistic approach, mentions that, after the age of 18, athletes develop their personal autonomy due to: training/competition intensity, self-responsibility, performance routines and strategies.…”

“…In this context, the systematic practice of a sport branch, through its extensive benefits brought to the whole psychosomatic development, can be a very effective way for the harmonious development of the adolescent's personality and personal autonomy. Authors emphasise that autonomy can be fulfilled through sport consumption and is a good predictor of short-term subjective well-being (Kim & James, 2019).…”

During adolescence, the individual makes the transition to maturity, their personality and self-concept being intensely developed due to sociocultural environmental factors. Among the essential changes occurring within this stage, rendering its specificity, we mention the development of personal autonomy. This characteristic is defined by self-control and self-determination, being one of the most relevant determinant factors in building efficiency, resilience and psychosocial behaviour in general. On the contrary, low levels of personal autonomy may lead to poor school and professional results, as well as some behavioural disorders. This study aims at identifying the characteristics of personal autonomy in adolescent subjects, by comparing them to age-matched athletes. The participants in this study were 158 students aged 15 years from the "Grigore Moisil" National College in Bucharest. Twenty of them (12.65%) practice sport on a regular basis. In order to describe the profile of personal autonomy for the subjects through the four related components ("Value component of autonomy", "Behavioural autonomy", "Cognitive autonomy", "Emotional autonomy"), the survey method was used, having as a specific tool the Personal Autonomy (PA) assessment questionnaire, this being part of the Cognitrom Assessment System platform for psychological issues. Using the t-test for independent samples, we have analysed whether there are statistical differences between the surveyed groups: adolescent athletes vs. adolescents who do not engage in systematic sport activities, a comparison regarding the means of the investigated dependent variablesthe value component of autonomy, behavioural autonomy, cognitive autonomy and emotional autonomy.

“… Inoue et al (2017) stated that the significant relationship between spectator attendance and life satisfaction highlights the unique ability of behavioral engagement with spectator sporting events to predict life satisfaction. Emphasizing the sense of accomplishment fulfilled in sport spectatorship is recommended for the well-being of the spectators ( Kim and James, 2019 ). In line with the social-ecological perspective ( Stokols, 1996 ), the findings of the current study provide support for the potential correlation between sport event-related and health-related variables.…”

Sport Spectatorship and Health Benefits: A Case of a Japanese Professional Golf Tournament

et al. 2020

It has been well-argued that professional sport or mega sport events could serve as a catalyst for sport participation behaviors through direct and indirect trickle-down effects. However, there is limited research exploring the impact of spectator services during sport events on personal and collective well-being. Elaborating on the social-ecological model and the concept of market demand, this study attempted to fill the gap in the literature by measuring core product (player attraction, event attractiveness, and course characteristics) and peripheral spectator services (event services, event information, event amenity, and parking and transportation) of a professional golf tournament hosted in Japan and examining how these services factors would influence spectators' length of stay at a golf event, physical activity as measured by step counts, self-rated health, and life satisfaction. Following the administration of a questionnaire to spectators at a Japanese professional golf tournament (n = 306) and conducting confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses, research findings revealed that the tournament-related spectator services would have an influence on physical activity, which could in turn influence self-rated health and subsequently impact life satisfaction. That is, emphasizing the sense of accomplishment fulfilled in sport spectatorship is recommended for the well-being of the spectators. The findings of this study shed light on the significance of promoting golf spectatorship as an effective means to facilitate a healthy lifestyle and in the meantime provide golf event marketers with a unique, positive benefit through which their events can be promoted.

“…Indeed, authors such as Fernandez and Walker (2019) and Kim and James (2019) have revealed that spectating live sport has a positive relationship with long-and short-term subjective wellbeing through social interaction with others. More specifically, Welford et al (2015) suggest spectating live football provides structure for disabled people's social lives and can create opportunities for them to be integrated into broader social networks through interactions and community participation.…”

Our aim in this short article is to provide an analysis of the implications of reopening football stadium doors to a group that have not been at the forefront of management considerationdisabled spectators. In order to achieve this aim, we uphold a social model approach to disability to review the current spectator sport situation across English professional football and outline the problems posed for disabled fans. We then provide the context to disabled people's experiences in football fandom which have often been unsatisfactory. This context then underpins a series of implications that will arise from the reopening of stadia in England. To conclude this commentary, we provide several management recommendations that we argue should facilitate a more disability-inclusive restart for spectator sport.
