Objectives: Promoting unstructured outside play is a promising vehicle to increase children’s physical activity (PA). This study investigates if factors of the social environment moderate the relationship between the perceived physical environment and outside play. Study design: 1875 parents from the KOALA Birth Cohort Study reported on their child’s outside play around age five years, and 1516 parents around age seven years. Linear mixed model analyses were performed to evaluate (moderating) relationships among factors of the social environment (parenting influences and social capital), the perceived physical environment, and outside play at age five and seven. Season was entered as a random factor in these analyses. Results: Accessibility of PA facilities, positive parental attitude towards PA and social capital were associated with more outside play, while parental concern and restriction of screen time were related with less outside play. We found two significant interactions; both involving parent perceived responsibility towards child PA participation. Conclusion: Although we found a limited number of interactions, this study demonstrated that the impact of the perceived physical environment may differ across levels of parent responsibility.

This article focuses on how length of participation in professional youth work is associated with five outcome variables: prosocial skills, self-mastery, social network, civic participation (volunteering and organizing activities) and finding support from social care services. The study was designed as a longitudinal cohort study of four waves during a 16-month period, gathering the data of 1597 youngsters aged 10–24 who participated in Dutch professional youth work. The results show that, on average, youngsters who participated longer in youth work scored significantly higher on the outcome variables. Respondents did not show individual improvements on outcome variables over the period, but the results demonstrate a cautious positive trend over time in volunteering. Referring youngsters (33%) by youth workers to care services could prevent an exacerbation of existing problems. The results provide knowledge that legitimizes the role of professional youth workers and which can be used by them to improve the support of socially vulnerable youngsters in their personal development and social participation.

Studenten in het beroepsonderwijs leren op de werkplek om een goede beroepsuitoefenaar te worden. Beoordeling van het werkplekleren gebeurt vaak op de werkplek en door de werkplek. Dit promotieonderzoek wil in kaart brengen hoe werkplekopleiders de student beoordelen.
In societies where physical activity levels are declining, stimulating sports participation in youth is vital. While sports offer numerous benefits, injuries in youth are at an all-time high with potential long-term consequences. Particularly, women football's popularity surge has led to a rise in knee injuries, notably anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, with severe long-term effects. Urgent societal attention is warranted, supported by media coverage and calls for action by professional players. This project aims to evaluate the potential of novel artificial intelligence-based technology to enhance player monitoring for injury risk, and to integrate these monitoring pathways into regular training practice. Its success may pave the way for broader applications across different sports and injuries. Implementation of results from lab-based research into practice is hindered by the lack of skills and technology needed to perform the required measurements. There is a critical need for non-invasive systems used during regular training practice and allowing longitudinal monitoring. Markerless motion capture technology has recently been developed and has created new potential for field-based data collection in sport settings. This technology eliminates the need for marker/sensor placement on the participant and can be employed on-site, capturing movement patterns during training. Since a common AI algorithm for data processing is used, minimal technical knowledge by the operator is required. The experienced PLAYSAFE consortium will exploit this technology to monitor 300 young female football players over the course of 1 season. The successful implementation of non-invasive monitoring of football players’ movement patterns during regular practice is the primary objective of this project. In addition, the study will generate key insights into risk factors associated with ACL injury. Through this approach, PLAYSAFE aims to reduce the burden of ACL injuries in female football players.
Studenten in het beroepsonderwijs leren op de werkplek om een goede beroepsuitoefenaar te worden. Beoordeling van het werkplekleren gebeurt vaak op de werkplek en door de werkplek. Dit promotieonderzoek wil in kaart brengen hoe werkplekopleiders de student beoordelen.Doel Het doel van dit promotieonderzoek is om het beoordelingsproces van werkplekopleiders in kaart te brengen en te analyseren. Door inzichten over dit proces te ontwikkelen en de huidige praktijk te analyseren willen we sterke en zwakke kanten van dit proces identificeren om zo bij te kunnen dragen aan de ondersteuning van werkplekopleiders. Implementatie Op basis van de resultaten van dit promotieonderzoek kunnen interventies ontwikkeld worden waarmee beoordelaars ondersteund kunnen worden in het beoordelen van het functioneren van studenten in de beroepspraktijk.

Looptijd 01 september 2016 - 01 september 2020 Aanpak Dit promotieonderzoek betreft een samenwerking tussen de OU en het lectoraat Beroepsonderwijs. De promotor vanuit de OU is prof. dr. Elly de Bruijn (ook lector Beroepsonderwijs), en de co-promotor vanuit het lectoraat Beroepsonderwijs is dr. Liesbeth Baartman. Tijdens dit promotieonderzoek nemen we interviews af en doen we een literatuurreview om in beeld te brengen wat er al bekend is in theorie en praktijk. Daarna doen we een longitudinale case study om het beoordelingsproces van werkplekopleiders gedurende de stage in kaart te brengen.
