Bouncing back together: the impact of sport relationships on social error monitoring Ghent University
In sports, it is crucial to adapt to errors of teammates to achieve a good performance. However, despite the large literature on social error monitoring, the social error monitoring processes of athletes and coaches have received little attention. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying the processing of observed errors are still debated. A crucial factor which can shed further light on these theoretical accounts, is the relationship between ...
Sport on the European agenda: a research into the dynamics behind the growing influence of the European Union Ghent University
The European Union gradually gains competences in the field of sports policy. This research tries to shed a light on the process behind the growing competences of the European Union by studying the dynamics behind the europeanisation of sports policy from the perspective of competing theories such as liberal intergovernementalism, neofunctionalism and sociological new instituionalism.
News diversity: a Longitudinal and Comparative Perspective KU Leuven
You are holding a manuscript that has been written within the Steunpunt Media (2012-2016), a policy instrument and knowledge centre that was set up to monitor the pluriformity of the Flemish news media landscape, initiated by the former Flemish Minister of Media Ingrid Lieten. The starting point of our research is the notion that content diversity, by itself, ought to be protected within a democratic society (Lieten, 2011; Napoli, ...
The GhenTendon project: monitoring of intratendinous pressures in a non-invasive way. Ghent University
The aim of this project is to implement and validate a possibly patentable method for measuring intratendinous pressures non-invasively. In-vivo tests will be benchmarked with the current golden standard that requires needle infiltration in the tendon. Successful validation will provide solid ground for further development of a wearable device.
By using a (minimally)-invasive method, the research partners have clear evidence that ...
The relation between physical activity and sleep in older adults. The associations with movement behaviours and effects of a real-life lifestyle program. KU Leuven
Both physical activity and sleep have been identified as crucial determinants of healthy ageing. However, as people age, they become less physically active and more sedentary. Sleep quantity and sleep quality also tend to decline with ageing, resulting in one in two older adults suffering from sleep problems. Even if the decline in sleep does not result in a diagnosed sleep problem, it has far reaching consequences for an individuals’ health ...
