The Moderating Role Of Perseverance And Determination In Action In The Context Of Self-Efficacy And Life Satisfaction Of Sportspeople With Mobility Impairment, Natalia Segiet, Krzysztof Gerc

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Introduction: The article assumes the biopsychosocial model of disability and refers, inter alia, to the assumptions of the concept of empowerment, which recognizes the fact that practicing sports by people with disabilities creates favorable conditions for strengthening resources and developing skills. An attempt was made to develop a model that verifies the moderating importance of mental resilience in the aspect of experiencing a sense of effectiveness and life satisfaction in sportspeople with mobility impairment. Material and method: The research conducted in an encrypted online manner involved 58 people (31 able-bodied sportspeople and 27 sportspeople with physical disabilities). The following tools …

Viability Of A Student-Athlete “Employee” Model And How It Will Lead To The Consequential Doom Of The Ncaa As We Know It, Kassidy Siedow Jun 2024

Viability Of A Student-Athlete “Employee” Model And How It Will Lead To The Consequential Doom Of The Ncaa As We Know It, Kassidy Siedow

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

The term “student-athlete” was first used in the 1950s by the NCAA President at the time, Walter Buyers. This term asserted that “athletes are students that engage in extracurricular activities” (Poulin) rather than being considered “institutional employees performing a service for the university” (Poulin). Since then, the landscape of the NCAA has grown vastly and has seen many changes that have advanced the non-profit organization to become one of the biggest revenue-generating industries in entertainment. Due to the nature of the governing body and the bylaws of which it was founded seeing little change, the NCAA has been and continues …


Why The Structure Of The Mlb Season Is Causing High Injury Rates, Cole Mitchell Jun 2024

Why The Structure Of The Mlb Season Is Causing High Injury Rates, Cole Mitchell

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Major League Baseball is one of America’s most honored organizations in the world. It was founded in 1869 making it one of the oldest sports organizations created. While for decades, the game of baseball, under the direction of the MLB has been highly praised, an injury epidemic began to diminish athletes' time playing the game. Injury in any sport is inevitable due to the unpredictable nature sports bring, however over the course of the last 40+ years, injury rates continue to skyrocket year in and year out in the sport of baseball. Where it shows its greatest effects is at …


Poland Syndrome And The Sensorimotor Cortex: An Untapped Possibility For Research, Ace Laikind Jun 2024

Poland Syndrome And The Sensorimotor Cortex: An Untapped Possibility For Research, Ace Laikind

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Poland syndrome is a rare disorder that unilaterally affects the chest, arms, and hands. Despite being a limb disorder, there has not been research done on how Poland syndrome interacts with the sensorimotor cortex. Other limb disorders have documented connections to the sensorimotor cortex, and can be used to infer how Poland syndrome affects the sensorimotor cortex. Limb disorders with extensive research on the sensorimotor cortex are phantom limb syndrome, focal hand dystonia, and congenital one-handedness. Additionally, to accommodate for the confound created by the differences between congenital and acquired conditions, blindness and its effects on plasticity can be examined. …


Predictive Processing And Chronic Pain, Lydia Hurst Jun 2024

Predictive Processing And Chronic Pain, Lydia Hurst

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Chronic pain is a common condition in which sufferers experience pain for over 3 months. The causes of chronic pain are often difficult to discern, as many cases are not associated with physical damage. A predictive processing (PP) perspective proposes that chronic pain results from the brain’s erroneous predictions derived from strong emotional and/or fearful reactions to pain. Individuals with anxiety disorders are more likely to react with fear to general stimuli, and therefore may be more likely to develop chronic pain under this model. The current healthcare model for this condition, which focuses on treating symptoms with pain-killers, displays …


History, Impacts, And Control Of Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum Salicaria) In Minnesota, Jude Humphrey Jun 2024

History, Impacts, And Control Of Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum Salicaria) In Minnesota, Jude Humphrey

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is an infamous invasive plant species in wetland habitats. It was introduced to North America through multiple pathways. While herbicides and other attempts to eradicate purple loosestrife have proved mostly ineffective for various reasons, the introduction of the plant’s natural herbivores has shown promise. This paper provides an overview of research done on purple loosestrife’s introduction, biology, impacts, and control methods with an emphasis on its history in Minnesota. Understanding the history and past efforts made to control this plant can be an important reference point for future work.


Influence Of Mlb Pitching Trends On Youth Players And The Epidemic Of Pitching Injuries, Hunter R. Borah Jun 2024

Influence Of Mlb Pitching Trends On Youth Players And The Epidemic Of Pitching Injuries, Hunter R. Borah

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

This paper will aim to explore the effect of the current MLB pitching trends and the correlation between trends and injury. Furthermore, the goal is to examine the trickle down effect of these trends and the rise in youth arm injuries. I will investigate the MLB’s emphasis on pitching “stuff” (velocity, spin rate and workhorse pitchers), which is favored over statistics, trying to prove that the MLB neglects long-term pitching health in return for harder throwing pitchers. These patterns, adopted by youth players have created a rise in throwing injuries due to the desire of young players to make it …


Returns To Education For Indigenous Populations In The Us: How Women Compared To Men?, Kianna Big Crow Jun 2024

Returns To Education For Indigenous Populations In The Us: How Women Compared To Men?, Kianna Big Crow

Scholarly Horizons: University of Minnesota, Morris Undergraduate Journal

Previous research finds large gaps in the labor market outcomes for the Indigenous population. Despite recent improvements, Indigenous workers lag other racial groups in terms of educational attainment and earnings. This study uses the 5-year American Community Survey Data (2018-2022) to estimate earning gains (returns to education) associated with college education for Indigenous workers and examine how Indigenous workers fare compared to workers from other racial groups. The research finds that the marginal benefit to a college education is lower for AIAN workers when compared to their white peers. In fact, the marginal benefit from a college education compared to …
