    /Highlights/ Bioecological Theory and Physical Activity - Dr Johan Högman (Pt1)
    Apr 1 2026
    The Bioecological Theory and Understanding Children's Physical Activity: "The most important thing... is to try to understand how the child... interacts with different environmental factors."— Johan Högman 00:10:4700:13:24 Timestamps: [00:10:47] Understanding Bioecological Theory's Influence on Child Development. [00:14:52] "Using Ecological Theory for Diverse Research Methods" [00:18:14] "Challenges in Conducting Effective Focus Groups with Children" [00:20:09] "Fostering critical thinking in children through dialogue" [00:22:18] "Building Trust with Inactive Children in Research" --- Johan Högman is interested in the social and cultural dimensions of how and why children move their bodies. He believes that physical activity is important for all children, regardless of the type of activity, and that understanding the societal views of physical activity is vital in ensuring that more children are able to participate. Johan's research involves digging deeper into the conditions that impact physical activity in children and the factors behind why some children may not be as active as others. Overall, he is passionate about promoting physical activity and helping more children to move their bodies in healthy ways. ---- "On this episode of Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, we discuss the challenges of engaging physically inactive children in sports activities. Our speaker explains that while some children love sports and physical activity, those who are not as active perceive it as sporty and competitive, making them less likely to participate. To address this issue, our researcher recommends changing the ordinary business of sports clubs and offering more diverse activities that appeal to non-athletic children. The episode covers the use of the bioecological theory to understand the factors that prevent children from enjoying physical activity. The theory helps to examine individual traits and abilities and how they interact with the cultural and environmental factors. The podcast also shares insights on the best practices for conducting focus groups to collect children's experience and perceptions regarding physical activity. Finally, our speaker talks about the ongoing efforts to come up with alternative physical activities that are enjoyable and accessible to inactive children by conducting a 12-week program with playful activities like Pokemon Go and trampoline parks to measure the effectiveness compared to traditional sports activities." ---- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.

    /Highlights/ Inside the Bubble: Examining the Impact of Organizational Culture on Youth Athletes’ Career Development - Dr Aku Nikander (Pt 2) - Meaningful Sport Series
    Mar 28 2026

    In today's episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Aku Nikander, delving into the challenges faced by young athletes in their career journeys. Aku shares his findings on the role of sport organizations in shaping the aspirations and possibilities of youth athletes. Specifically, we uncover the impact of organizational culture and the tensions that arise when implementing a dual career approach in a talent development environment.

    The conversation focuses on Aku's case study in a talent development environment that has been in existence for decades. Informed by the European Commission's dual career guidelines and the broader movement around dual careers, the organization defines itself as a dual career development environment. Curious about the integration of this concept at different cultural levels within the organization, Aku examines how well it supports dual career development as outlined in existing research and literature. Specifically, Aku focuses on the cultural aspects, as they greatly influence the thinking, development, behavior, and well-being of group members. With a particular interest in the coaches' adoption of dual career thinking and the athletes' career goals, Aku conducted observations and interviews in the environment to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play.
