Background The objective was to study nutritional supplement use among young elite UK athletes establish whether a rationale versus practice incongruence exists, and investigate the sources of information. Survey data were analysed for association between supplements used motives using such substances along with advice literature precedents on effects.Methods Participants male female athletes, within age range 12 21 (n = 403), mean 17.66 ± 1.99. Associations type reasons tested by...
There is evidence of a small but significant proportion adolescents engaging in doping practices. Young athletes face very specific pressures to achieve results as they strive for career at an elite level. This study used anonymized questionnaire survey 403 (12–21 years old) talented young athletes' attitudes toward performance‐enhancing substances and supplements. Two‐thirds the sample comprised males. Athletes were generally against use enhance sporting performance. Within this unfavorable...
Large-scale mining of low-grade ores is energy-intensive and generates vast wastes. It has limited suitability for production specialist metals that are required in relatively small quantities. An approach limits environmental impact by restricting to high-grade deposits requires the investigation ore as alternative sources metals. The return on investment from incompatible with expensive surveys needed secure high costs managing risk. But increasing energy transport may create space market...
It is widely maintained that sport and physical activities contribute to the development of young people's well-being. Others argue sports' contribution good living so strong it even thought be a human right. Typically, however, value activity our well-being conceptualized researched within subjectivist framework. We reject this framework on three grounds: (1) its impermanence; (2) hedonistic shallowness; (3) epistemological inadequacy. In contrast, we sports ought situated in fundamental...
Abstract Elite gymnastics, and other sports where athletes coaches are particularly concerned with aesthetic considerations, weight shape, fields within which the risk of eating disorders may be unusually high. Adolescent gymnasts, developing their own sense self, at a time life body image concerns common, often compete very top sport need to maintain shape optimal for elite performance. Research into this field should address range sociological ethical aspects in sport, prevalence as well...
Participation in elite sport, and particular those sports with special demands terms of weight shape, is associated a higher risk for eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa [Sundgot-Borgen, J., & Torstveit, M. K. (2010). Aspects disordered continuum high intensity sports. Scandinavian Journal Medicine Science Sports, 20, 112–121]. We report upon research exploring attitudes behaviours within gymnastics. The study comprised 42 semi-structured interviews gymnasts support staff—34 9...
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview the philosophical and ethical underpinnings anti-doping policy. nature sport its gratuitous logic explored. doping rules in sport, such as Prohibited List, are ways drawing a line facilitate certain sort competition. Sports can be understood means testing natural physical abilities athlete, combined with hard work they put into improving their performance. A test promoted by laws. Permitting forms performance enhancement would threaten...
In the next 5-10 years UK is going to see dramatic changes many of its large industrial sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, and energy generation, we move from a fossil-fuel-driven society an electrically driven one. Many these industries will be dependent on technology-critical metals (TCMs), for example, cobalt lithium batteries in electric vehicles rare-earths used magnets motors wind turbines. Many regions world, including EU, have been developing strategies access their key...
For more than 200 years many authors have expressed concern about the adequacy of natural resources to support economic growth and spread prosperity. Most these predictions, however, are unnecessarily alarmist based on over-simplistic analysis mineral reserve consumption data. In fact, despite rapidly increasing demand, continued scientific technological innovations ensured that development has never been constrained by lack resources. However, ‘critical metals’, so-called because their...
Abstract The composition of mining waste varies according to the nature operation and many other factors, but where same mineral is extracted from a similar style metalliferous or industrial deposit coal, usually has characteristics. There are potential sources minerals waste. Waste one mine may be byproduct coproduct in elsewhere. Much technical research work on utilization, for example studies slate waste, included manufacturing process. invariably an inferior material compared with...
