Effects of moment of inertia on restricted motion swing speed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In many sports, the maximum swing speed of a racket, club, or bat is a key performance parameter. Previous research in multiple sports supports the hypothesis of an inverse association between the swing speed and moment of inertia of an implement.

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.

Morphometrics for sports mechanics: Showcasing tennis racket shape diversity

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2022
Tennis racket design has changed from its conception in 1874. While we know that modern tennis rackets are lighter and have larger heads than their wooden predecessors, it is unknown how their gross shape has changed specifically. It is also unknown how racket shape is related to factors that influence performance, like the Transverse and Polar moments

Some of Them Want to Use You: Antecedents and Consequences of Supervisors' Employee‐Directed Objectification

open access: yesJournal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although objectification is prevalent in leadership relations, little is known about (a) why some supervisors objectify their employees to a greater extent than others and (b) when and how such objectification manifests in a supervisor's leadership behavior.

Single view silhouette fitting techniques for estimating tennis racket position [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Stereo camera systems have been used to track markers attached to a racket, allowing its position to be obtained in three-dimensional (3D) space. Typically, markers are manually selected on the image plane, but this can be time-consuming.

The management of lateral meniscus pathology does not affect anterior cruciate ligament revision rates in football players, but affect rates in other athletes: Long‐term data from the Swedish Knee Ligament Registry

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate whether the treatment method of a concomitant lateral meniscus (LM) injury during primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) affects ACL revision rates in football (soccer) players, nonfootball pivoting athletes and nonpivoting patients differentially, when compared to controls.
