Purpose: This study developed and validated a measure of life skills for student-athletes in Korea. Methods: Three studies were performed to address the study purposes. Participants were 494 (study 1=29; study 2=233; study 3=232) student-athletes in Korea. Results: In study 1, 9 factors and 90 items were developed by inductive content analysis and expert meeting. In study 2, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) suggested that a seven-factor, 26-item model best fit the data. The factors included Goal Setting, Time Management, Coping with stress, Positive Thinking, Conflict Solution, Communication, and Emotional Control. In Study 3, The validity of the seven-factor solution was confirmed by conducting Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Fit indices suggested a good fit (x2/df=1.508, CFI=.938, TLI=.931, RMSEA=.047, SRMR=.056). Lastly, the concurrent and convergent validity of the newly developed measure was supported by significant relationships with other two questionnaires and the measure was named as the Life Skills Scale for Student-Athletes (LSSSA). Conclusion: The LSSSA appeared to assess unique characteristics of life skills for student-athletes in Korea.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to explore the determinants of athletic identity and its measurement(Study 1), to test the relationships among athletic identity and its related variables in a longitudinal survey(Study 2), and to explore a predictive model of retirement process(Study 3). Methods: In study 1, interviews with adolescent and university athletes(N=70) were analyzed through deductive analysis(step 1). Also data collected from athletes(N=345) were analyzed by correlations and EFA(Step 2). In study 2, data from 574 athletes for testing a measurement model of athletic identity scale were analyzed by CFA, reliability, and correlation(Step 1). And data from 465 athletes were conducted by structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis (Step 2). In study 3, interviews collected from 12 university and retired athletes were analyzed via deductive analysis. Results: (1) Athletic identity develops through the four steps of the exploration to the self as an athlete, commitment and flow to sport, the re-exploration to his/her own self as an athlete, and the identification of his/her commitment to sport. (2) The athletic identity scale with five sub-factors of 20 items was valid and reliable for Korean athletes. (3) Athletes’ autonomous motivation and athletic identity partially mediated the relationship between autonomous coaching behaviors and satisfaction, but controlling coaching behaviors had an effect on satisfaction through controlled motivation and athletic identity. This causal relationships were invariant across gender. (4) Most of athletes experienced the transition process changing their careers throughout the four steps of sport initiation-practice, performance development, retirement preparation, and social adaptation. Conclusion: These findings suggest that athletes try to build their own self-identity in a numerous ways.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in movement behavior of the elderly due to the COVID-19 incident. Methods: To this end, 70 men and women aged 60 and older who reside in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province and have at least 3 years of athletic experience were selected. Through the open questionnaire and in-depth interview using online, the case of movement behavior change experienced by COVID-19 was explored. The collected data were categorized through inductive content analysis, and each categorized theme was specified through deductive development. Results: As a result, 4 major topics and 8 sub-themes of change in exercise pattern, strengthening exercise constraints, amplifying exercise anxiety, and giving up exercise were derived. As a result of in-depth interviews based on the results of categorization, we experienced changes in existing exercise methods, such as sports events and exercise patterns, due to the COVID-19 events. Experienced amplification of exercise anxiety due to the media reports of COVID-19, which had a high mortality rate for the elderly, and abandonment of exercise due to a decrease in basic activity and intention. Conclusion: According to the situation in COVID-19, several national policies have been announced, such as activation of online learning and social distance, and it is thought that this will affect not only the elderly but also athletic behavior and participation in all classes. In the future, the physical education community needs constant exploration and attention to these social phenomena and changes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the coupling of visual perception of stimulus trajectory and action during anticipation timing response with spatio-temporal accuracy demands by analyzing eye movement patterns, response accuracy, and the coordination patterns of eye and hand occurring during the response. Methods: Twelve subjects were asked to hit the stimulus moving at various velocities toward different directions in coincident with its arrival at the target area with a stylus. During the response, subjects’ timing response and eye movement patterns were measured from which differences in the point of gaze(POG) by the stimulus velocity and direction, distances between the POG and the position of stimulus at movement termination, and the spatio-temporal relationship between the POG and the position of the stylus were analyzed. Results: The spatio-temporal error of timing response increased with increasing stimulus velocity, while the latency and frequency of saccade increased with decreasing stimulus velocity. The POG arrived at the target area before the response completion in all velocity conditions, and while the temporal coupling of the POG and stylus increased with decreasing stimulus velocity, the distances from the POG to the stimulus and stylus at movement termination decreased with decreasing stimulus velocity. Conclusion: These results suggest that the POG patterns determined by the visual perception of stimulus trajectory function as an important criterion for determining the spatio-temporal accuracy of anticipation timing responses and are spatio-temporally coupled with the hand.
