Global Action Plan on Physical Activity. This sounds like a great opportunity.
As usual we have covered a lot of new research, including an interesting study from the
University of Sydney that showed that primary aged schoolgirls are just as physically capable
as boys their age. We can say that boys throw like a girl!
You should read the profile on Baklai Temengil from Palau, the first women in the global
Olympic movement to be elected a vice president of a regional Olympic Committee (Oceania).
She has recently been nominated to the International Olympic Committee, which is anotherfirst for a woman from Oceania.

スポーツの場において、“女子のようにプレイする”男子という侮辱について

The Conversation (3 August 2017)
When it comes to sport, boys ‘play like a girl’; Marnee McKay , Lecturer ofMusculoskeletal Physiotherapy, University of Sydney and Joshua Burns , Professor,
Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network, University of Sydney
Girls in primary school are just as physically capable as their male classmates, according toour research, taking the sting out of the insult “you play like a girl”.

When we compared primary school children’s physical capabilities, differences between girls
and boys were not as important as people think. So, they should be happily playing with andcompeting against each other in the backyard, playground and sporting fields.
Read more: It’s not just the toy aisles that teach children about gender stereotypes
As part of wider research to assess people’s physical capabilities across the lifespan, we
tested 300 children and adolescents between the ages of 3 and 19.
We tested each child for over two hours, taking more than 100 measurements. These included
measuring the strength of 14 muscle groups, the flexibility of 13 joints and 10 different types ofbalance. We looked at factors including hand dexterity, reaction times, how far kids could
walk, how high and how long they could jump, as well as their gait.

World Rugby (14 August 2017)
Key partnership to boost female rugby in the Pacific
Oceania Rugby has announced a new partnership with the United Nations to underline its
commitment to increasing the participation and leadership of women and girls in rugby acrossthe Pacific.
Oceania Rugby has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Entity
for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, known as UN Women, which is theglobal champion for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
Oceania Rugby President Richard Sapias explained that often the perception in Pacificsocieties is that rugby is a sport for men, so to partner with UN Women to change theseincorrect ‘social norms’ is a fantastic opportunity to support the many women and girls inrugby.
“Oceania Rugby, World Rugby and UN Women have a shared interest in making opportunities
for girls and women to participate in all parts of community life. We want to work together tomake sure rugby creates opportunities for girls and women to get the same benefits frombeing players, coaches, officials and managers as everyone else,” said Sapias.

Janice Crosswhite says - "Mindfulness supposed to be the next break-through in highperformance sport!"
Sports Medicine. June 2017. Effects of Mindfulness Practice on Performance-RelevantParameters and Performance Outcomes in Sports: A Meta-Analytical Review.
Bühlmayer, Lucia et al
Abstract
Background: Mindfulness as a present-oriented form of mental training affects cognitive
processes and is increasingly considered meaningful for sport psychological training
approaches. However, few intervention studies have examined the effects of mindfulness
practice on physiological and psychological performance surrogates or on performanceoutcomes in sports.
Objective: The aim of the present meta-analytical review was to examine the effects ofmindfulness practice or mindfulness-based interventions on physiological and psychological
performance surrogates and on performance outcomes in sports in athletes over 15 years ofage.
Data Sources: A structured literature search was conducted in six electronic databases(CINAHL, EMBASE, ISI Web of Knowledge, PsycINFO, MEDLINE and SPORTDiscus). The
following search terms were used with Boolean conjunction: (mindful* OR meditat* OR yoga)
AND (sport* OR train* OR exercis* OR intervent* OR perform* OR capacity OR skill*) AND(health* OR adult* OR athlete*).
Study Selection: Randomized and non-randomized controlled studies that compared
mindfulness practice techniques as an intervention with an inactive control or a control that
followed another psychological training program in healthy sportive participants were screened
for eligibility.
Data Extraction: Eligibility and study quality [Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro)]scales were independently assessed by two researchers. A third independent researcher was
consulted to achieve final consensus in case of disagreement between both researchers.
Standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated as weighted Hedges’ g and served as
the main outcomes in comparing mindfulness practice versus control. Statistical analyses
were conducted using a random-effects inverse-variance model.
Results: Nine trials of fair study quality (mean PEDro score 5.4, standard deviation 1.1) with
290 healthy sportive participants (athletics, cyclists, dart throwers, hammer throwers, hockey
players, hurdlers, judo fighters, rugby players, middle-distance runners, long-distance runners,
shooters, sprinters, volleyball players) were included. Intervention time varied from 4 weeks toover 2 years. The practice frequency lasted from twice daily to just once a week, and themean session time covered 50–60 min. In favor of mindfulness practice compared with thecontrol condition, large effects with narrow confidence limits and low heterogeneity were found8

for mindfulness scores [SMD 1.03, 90% confidence interval (CI) 0.67–1.40, p < 0.001,
I2 = 17%]. Physiological performance indices depicted wide confidence limits accompaniedwith very large heterogeneity. However, the effect sizes remained very large, with confidence
limits that did not overlap zero (SMD 3.62, 90% CI 0.03–7.21, p = 0.10, I2 = 98%). Moderate
to large effects were observed for both psychological performance surrogates (SMD 0.72,
90% CI 0.46–0.98, p < 0.001, I2 = 14%) and performance outcomes in shooting and dart
throwing (SMD 1.35, 90% CI 0.61–2.09, p = 0.003, I2 = 82%).
Conclusions: Mindfulness practice consistently and beneficially modulates mindfulness
scores. Furthermore, physiological and psychological surrogates improved to a meaningfulextent following mindfulness practice, as well as performance outcomes in shooting and dart
throwing. It seems reasonable to consider mindfulness practice strategies as a regularcomplementary mental skills training approach for athletes, at least in precision sports;
however, more high-quality, randomized, controlled trials on mindfulness practice andperformance improvements in diverse sport settings are needed.

身体活動の動機付けとその状況におけるジェンダーの違い

Background: Although regular participation in physical activity (PA) has health benefits
across the life span, the proportion of people doing sufficient activity for these benefits
decreases with age. The aim of this study was to identify motivating factors and context
preferences for PA in people in their sixties, and to examine gender differences in thesefactors.
Methods: Data were used from people aged 60–67 years who responded to a mail survey inBrisbane, Australia, in 2009. Respondents indicated their agreement/disagreement with9

seven PA motivators and 14 PA context preferences. Data were analyzed using multi-level
multinomial logistic regression, adjusted for sociodemographic and health variables, and PA
level.
Results: Of the 1845 respondents, 59% was female. Based on self-reported PA, one in three
respondents (35%) did not meet the PA guidelines of at least 150 min of moderate intensity
PA per week. The three leading motivating factors for both women and men were to prevent
health problems, to feel good and to lose weight. Women were more likely than men to be
motivated by improving appearance (OR 2.93, 95%CI 2.07–4.15), spending time with others(1.76, 1.31–2.37), meeting friends (1.76, 1.31–2.36) or losing weight (1.74, 1.12–2.71). The
three leading context preferences for both women and men were for activities close to home,
at low cost and that could be done alone. Women were more likely than men to preferactivities that are with people of the same sex (OR 4.67, 95%CI 3.14–6.94), supervised (2.79,
1.94–4.02), with people the same age (2.00, 1.43–2.78) and at a fixed time (1.42, 1.06–1.91).
Women were less likely than men to prefer activities that are competitive (OR 0.32, 95%CI
0.22–0.46), are vigorous (0.33, 0.24–0.47), require skill and practice (0.40, 0.29–0.55) anddone outdoors (0.51, 0.30–0.86).
Conclusion: Although there was overlap in motivating factors and context preferences for PA
in women and men aged 60–67 years, there were also marked gender differences. These
results suggest that PA options for people in their sixties should be tailored to meet genderspecific interests in order to promote PA participation in this rapidly growing population group.

Abstract

オーストラリアとニュージーランドの公衆衛生ジャーナル：7月27日発行
アボリジニとトーレス海峡諸島地域のスポーツ参加者における身体活動の促進と障害

Background: Disparities in health perspectives between Indigenous and non-Indigenous
populations are major concerns in many of the world's well-developed nations. Indigenous
populations are largely less healthy, more prone to chronic diseases, and have an earlier
overall mortality than non-Indigenous populations. Low levels of physical activity (PA)contribute to the high levels of disease in Indigenous Australians.
Method: Qualitative analysis of structured one-on-one interviews discussing PA in a regionalsetting. Participants were 12 Indigenous Australian adults, and 12 non-Indigenous Australian
adults matched on age, sex, and basketball division.
Results: Most participants reported engaging in regular exercise; however, the Indigenous
group reported more barriers to PA. These factors included cost, time management andenvironmental constraints. The physical facilitators identified by our Indigenous sample
included social support, intrinsic motivation and role modelling.
Conclusion: Findings describe individual and external factors that promote or constraint PA
as reported by Indigenous Australian adults. Results indicate that Indigenous people facespecific barriers to PA when compared to a non-Indigenous sample.
Implications for public health: This study is the first to compare the perspective ofIndigenous Australians to a matched group of non-Indigenous Australians and provides usefulknowledge to develop public health programs based on culturally sensitive data.

Laura McVey , Senior Researcher, Centre for Employee and Consumer Wellbeing,
Deakin University and Paul Harrison , Director, Centre for Employee and Consumer
Wellbeing; Senior Lecturer, Deakin Business School, Deakin University - This Girl
Can(‘t)? Campaign simply reworks 'sex sells’ approach
Sport England is to partner with VicHealth for a social marketing campaign to encourage
women to participate in sport based on its This Girl Can campaign. However, beyond thecampaign’s initial “feel-good” nature, this news may not be as totally positive as it seems.

In its attempt to motivate and empower women, the campaign material may unintentionallywork with entrenched norms of sexualising women to perpetuate their self-objectification. Thisis likely not only to be detrimental to their mental and physical health, but also to further theircommodification in society.
Further reading: Sexualised girls are seen as less intelligent and less worthy...................................................................................................................................................
What would a better campaign do?
A better way forward would be to focus on “real women’s” voices (in more than stylised
overlays and sexualised panting) rather than bodies – highlighting the judgement women fear,
as well as the pleasure they can get exercising.
It could prove empowering to take the enjoyment often reserved for men’s experience ofphysical activity – independent of desirability – and allowing that to be the drive for women’s
participation.
......................................................................................................................................................
We do applaud the campaign’s success in encouraging women to participate in sport in the
UK. Unfortunately, for the most part, it does little to take women away from the usual sex sells
approach (albeit with the inclusion of more “real” women) we have come to expect ofmainstream advertising.

CHINA 中国

中国女性のマススポーツへの参加への条件に関する調査研究（北京スポーツ大学）

Some Findings and Reflections on the General Condition of Chinese Women’sParticipation in Mass Sports. Hui, Tian , Beijing Sport University, China
Chinese sport has undergone a stimulating transformation within years of economic
development. The most distinguishing phenomenon is the rapid emphasis on women’s sports
participation at the grassroots. In 1995, the State Council of China promulgated the Outline of
Nationwide Physical Fitness Program, followed by a series of rules and regulations. Aiming to
improve the physical condition of the general population, the Nationwide Physical Fitness
Program, with an emphasis on young people and children, encourages everyone to engage inat least one sport activity every day, learn at least two ways of keeping fit and have a healthexamination every year. Most importantly, in this program, the government emphasizes thatwomen’s sport and physical activities should center around women’s physical andpsychological well-being.
With the government’s encouragement and economic endowment, there is a rapid growth ofwomen’s participation in mass sports. According to a 2004 report, 27.15% of women living incities engage in sports activities. Among them, 7.1% take part in sports and exercises once or
twice a week for 30 minutes or more per session and 10.07% participate in sport at least threetimes a week for 30 minutes per session.1 However, the frequency of women’s sports
participation varies depending on different social strata. In 2001 survey of women’s sports
population, the percentage of unemployed women is higher than that of employed women.
Even among employed women’s sports population, different social classes demonstratevarious types of sports participation. For instance, middle-class women tend to choose fitness
gyms and sports clubs as their sports sites. In 2001, 67% of middle-class women(professionals, white collars, etc.) participated in sport frequently; 46% of middle-class women
went to fitness gyms or high-quality sports centers; half of them attended aerobics classes infitness gyms every week.2 In contrast, those working-class women demonstrated quite
different sporting habits. First of all, their sports participation is quite flexible and casual andthey do not have fixed time to participate in sports. It often happens in the evening when they
have finished their work. Secondly, they often go to those cheap gyms or public places (suchas parks, squares, communities, etc.) to take part in sporting activities. They seldom spend
much money on sports participation. Walking, jogging, square dancing, badminton and pingpong are their favorite activities.
From the above findings we can notice that economic factors and social positions are crucial
to decide the ways of Chinese women’s sports participation. Middle-class women with highincomes have more free choices for sporting activities. They display strong enthusiasm andpotential to spend money in order to enjoy high standards of sports facilities and services. As
for working-class women, even though they also desire to take part in sport to increase their
quality of life, their financial limitations restrict their choices. Therefore, in order to encourage
different social positions of Chinese women to take part in mass sport activities, firstly, the13government should provide more flourishing parks, community sports activities and voluntary
sports organizations to meet their requirements. Secondly, women should be freed fromdomestic restrictions and provided with more time and chances to participate in sports.
Thirdly, the stereotyped patriarchal ideology towards women should be changed. Chinese
women should be encouraged to develop self-esteem towards their body and thus be more
open-minded to take part in different sporting activities.

70 Inspiring Pacific Women - Fijiana Rugby Team“Fijiana has shown that women have the ability to achieve any dream, even against the
toughest adversities. They have shown that it is fine, and actually wonderful, for women to bephysically strong, tough and powerful. They have shown that rugby, Fiji’s ‘national’ sport,
indeed belongs to everyone.”
Dr Yoko Kanemasu, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, The University of the South Pacific

The Fijian Women’s National Rugby Team Fijiana made history in 2016 when they became
the first women’s rugby team from the Pacific region to qualify for the Rio Olympics. They
were only one of 12 national teams in the world to qualify to complete in the women’s rugby
sevens competition at Rio despite facing countless adversities to get there.
Fijiana’s journey is representative of women’s rugby not only in Fiji but in other Pacific Island
nations, where Pacific women are defying the odds to claim a space in this male-dominatedsport. Until very recently, women rugby players regularly faced discouragement, disapproval
and ridicule just for playing the sport. Some even experienced severe punishments – beaten
or chased out of their family homes.
...................................................................................................................................................
It is against all odds that Fijiana have made a series of remarkable accomplishments in thelast few years.

In 2011, the Fijiana 7s won the gold medal in women’s rugby sevens at the PacificGames.
In 2012, they qualified for the 2013 IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens by winning all of theirmatches at the Asian Women’s Sevens Championship.

In 2013, they won the Bowl at the IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens in Russia. In 2014, they
qualified for the 2014–15 World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series by again winning all of
their matches at the qualifier tournament in Hong Kong.
In 2015, they won another gold medal at the Pacific Games and qualified for the Rio
Olympics by winning the Oceania Women’s Sevens Championship.

The magnitude of their participation in the 2016 Rio Olympics must be understood in thecontext of Fiji’s sporting history, where, prior to the introduction of rugby sevens as an
Olympic Game, a total of only 21 athletes had ever participated in the Olympics by actuallyqualifying, not as wild cards.
Fijiana has shown that women have the ability to achieve any dream, even against the
toughest adversities. They have shown that it is fine, and actually wonderful, for women tobe physically strong, tough and powerful. They have shown that rugby, Fiji’s “national” sport,
indeed belongs to everyone. – Dr Yoko Kanemasu, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, The

SA News - South African Government News Agency (August 2017)
Women's Day
South Africa commemorates Women’s Month in August as a tribute to the thousands ofwomen who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 in protest against the extensionof Pass Laws to women.
This historic march was a turning point in the role of women in the struggle for freedom andsociety at large. Since that eventful day, women from all walks of life became equal partners inthe struggle for a non-racial and non-sexist South Africa.
The march was coordinated by the Federation of South African Women (Fedsaw) led by four
women: Lillian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa and Sophia Williams De Bruyn. These
leaders delivered petitions to the then Prime Minister JG Strijdom’s office at the Union
Buildings. Women throughout the country had put their names to these petitions, indicating
their anger and frustration at having their freedom of movement restricted by the hated official
passes.
The Government of South Africa declared August Women’s Month and 9 August is celebrated
annually as Women’s Day.

イギリス初のサイクリング女性フェスティバルは大成功を収めました！

Cycling UK (3 August 2017)
Cycling UK's inaugural Women's Festival of Cycling declared a great success!
Cycling UK's first Women's Festival of Cycling has finished, with over 70 new female-friendly
rides and events taking place throughout the country during July. Festival Coordinator Julie
Rand sums up the highlights of what has been an exciting month of cycling activities.
When we first came up with the idea of putting on some kind of initiative aimed at female
cyclists back in early 2017, we weren't sure what shape it would take. We knew that we
wanted to build on '5 Miles to Fabulous', the first such project aimed at women by Cycling UK,
which last took place back in 2007. With the tenth anniversary of that programme, it seemed
the time was right for another but in the intervening decade, the notion of 'women's cycling'
had evolved from relatively short trips to a coffee shop for cake to include other types of riding
also enjoyed by women, such as technical mountain biking, 100-mile road rides, andeverything in between. However, the fact remains that women are still underrepresented incycling, although the statistics are gradually improving.
......................................................................................................................................................
So here is a brief round-up of just a few of the highlights of a fabulous month of cycling this
July:
x
x

More than 70 rides and events throughout the UK aimed at women
Several century rides, including 100-mile road rides in Wales and England and a 100km
off-road ride in Scotland organised by women from The Adventure Syndicate.
x Six rides in and around London looking for British Cycle Quest clues.
x Three women-only bike maintenance courses.
x Wirral Celebratory Rides of 35, 15 and five miles aimed at all abilities with around 80
participants in total
x History-themed rides exploring where famous people such as Florence Nightingale andPercy Bysshe Shelley livedx A 15-mile ride in Stevenage to a lavender farmx Several rides in the Birmingham area aimed at women from a diverse range ofbackgrounds run by our community cycling clubs
x Closed road entry level circuits for women in Curborough throughout July......................................................................................................................................................
..................As part of the festival, we commissioned ComRes to carry out a survey into thebarriers women face and our research shows that 20% of women say they have neverridden in a cycle group but would consider doing so, while 54% of women are most likely to
say that they have been on cycle rides for fun.
Cycling UK is already looking forward an even bigger and better Women's Festival of Cycling
next year. In the meantime, there are plenty of groups offering female-friendly and women
only rides throughout the year - to find one near you, just take a look at our list of local groups,
we also will provide you with help and support if you want to start your own.

ICCE国際コーチング会議
Liverpool John Moores University (August 2017)
Changing the gameWe talk to women coaches about gender inequality in sports, particularly in the profession ofcoaching.
With Liverpool having recently played host to the ICCE Global Coaching Conference, wethought it was a great opportunity to take a look at the role of women in coaching and try to
uncover the reasons why women are still under-represented in the profession.

Women account for just 30% of the coaching workforce, this drops to 12% when it comes tohighly qualified coaches.
According to UK Coaching, it isn’t that women don’t want to coach, but rather that culturally,
sport is still regarded as a gendered activity which strongly favours men. A self-perpetuating
cycle, the low visibility of women in coaching only reinforces the perception that sport is amale-dominated activity and working in sport is not promoted as an attractive proposition for
women.
Faye Bryson, footballer for Everton Ladies FC, coach and student of Physical Education at
LJMU, shares her views and experiences as a female football coach in a male dominatedsport.
She believes the lack of women in coaching is down to people underestimating women’s
sporting knowledge and that women tend to get pigeon holed into more ‘nurturing’ coachingroles such as working with children or other females rather than being responsible for maleplayers. Women can more often be found in grassroots coaching rather than elite positions forsome of the same reasons. Often women lack the professional qualifications in coaching toenable them to climb the ladder, which also contributes to the low number of elite femalecoaches.

Meet Phoebe Schecter, Britain's first female NFL coach
When you meet Phoebe Schecter, the thought "bone-crunching American Football linebacker"
may not enter your mind.
She's 1.62m (5ft 4in) and weighs around 63kg (10 stone). But appearances can be deceptive.
She captains Great Britain's women's American Football team, leading them to the final of the2015 European Championships.
Now she's achieved something few women have - she's coached in the NFL.
"I ended up getting an offer from the Buffalo Bills. I'm back home now and I still don't believe
what's happened," she says laughing. An American by birth, Phoebe only started playing
American Football five years ago, ironically, when she'd just moved to Britain.
"[It's] in the past two years, that's when being a coach has really started driving my decisions
and opportunities."
The sport is one of the most physically demanding in the world.
"I know I won't be able to play forever but this sport has given me so much. I just want to beable to give back," she says.
The journey towards giving back came through an NFL coaching internship.

Complex, 12 Priory Road, Bristol
PLAN-A (or Peer-Led physical Activity iNtervention for Adolescent girls) aimed to find out
whether Year 8 girls who received training to be a “peer-supporter” could encourage theirfriends to adopt an active lifestyle. Studies show that increased physical activity is good forchildren’s health. Despite the health benefits, activity levels drop during adolescence,
particularly for girls. We aimed to identify new ways to promote physical activity among Year 8
girls. Peer-supporters have been used to help prevent smoking in teens and we wereinterested in finding out if this would work in improving physical activity.
We asked girls to fill out a short questionnaire to identify female peers they feel were
influential in their year (e.g. who they trust, who they respect). Schools were then randomised
into 'intervention' and 'control' schools. In ‘intervention’ schools we invited 18% of thenominated girls to become peer-supporters. These girls then attended an educational and fun
two day course (plus one top-up day) to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence toinformally promote physical activity amongst their peers.
The dissemination seminar will consist of a presentation of study findings, a panel Q & A andan opportunity to view intervention materials.

Serena Williams:「ジェンダーの資金格差は肌の色に関係する」
CNN Sport (1 August 2017)
Serena Williams: 'Gender pay gap hits women of color hardest'(CNN)American tennis star Serena Williams has slammed the gender pay gap, issuing apassionate call for black women to "be fearless" and demand equality.

In a personal essay, published by Fortune Magazine, the 23-time grand slam champion writes
that for every dollar a man earns, black women make just 63 cents.

Cooper Institute says it will launch youth fitness initiative
The Cooper Institute is in the process of creating partnerships and strategic alliances tocombat the growing issues surrounding youth inactivity and obesity in America.

The scientific research and advocacy group focuses on preventive medicine and public health.
Jeremy Lyon, president of the organisation's youth wing, and long-term educator said: "I'vewatched, firsthand, the fitness and overall health of our students decline, as our student
population has become more overweight and less active.
"We place the blame for these negative changes on adults and society, with children enjoying
too much screen time, sugar and fast food, while engaging in too little physical activity," hecontinued.
The Institute says it will fight the challenge "with a level of commitment of resources that isunprecedented", saying intervention programmes and strategies are being formulated to
improve youth health and force a cultural shift in society, to "raise a healthier generation thatis, quite simply, life-ready."......................................................................................................................................................
