Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze how discourses that have acquired the status of normality in sport are constituted and stabilized within specific conditions of enunciation and regimes of truth, and to explore the possibility of reconfiguring the conditions of ethical judgment by revealing shifts in their hierarchical ordering. To this end, the study first applies Foucault’s concept of the enonce to the domain of sport, conceptualizing sport as a field in which conditions of enunciation are arranged, and analyzes through the case of NFL concussion discourse the process by which particular statements attain the status of normality and are naturalized as self-evident presuppositions within discursive hierarchies. Next, it investigates the order of discourse formed within this enunciative field of sport, analyzing how neutrality and normative values are constituted under specific conditions of enunciation and subsequently institutionalized. In particular, through the case of the IOC’s decision regarding the participation of Russian athletes, the study demonstrates how the same statement of neutrality is differentially arranged depending on contextual conditions, thereby revealing that sports norms are not fixed essences but effects of discursive arrangements. Finally, the study reveals that the discursive arrangement of amateurism, which has long justified the restriction of athlete compensation, can be reorganized through moments of rupture and transformation, and on this basis proposes the theoretical foundations for redefining sport ethics not as a matter of norm application, but as a problem of the conditions of enunciation that determine the conditions under which normal judgment is authorized.

Abstract
This study aims to ascertain public perceptions and discourse structures regarding local specialized sports tourism initiatives through social big data analysis, subsequently deriving strategic implications. To achieve this, a total of 16,930 data points were collected from major portals such as Naver, Daum, and Google between 2014 and 2025, using “local specialized sports tourism initiatives” as the primary keyword. The collected data were then subjected to text mining, sentiment analysis, semantic network analysis, and CONCOR analysis. The findings revealed key terms such as “tourism resources,” “leisure sports,” “experiential tourism,” “festivals,” “tourism content,” and “linkage,” indicating that sports tourism is perceived not merely as a singular activity but as a complex industry integrating regional resources and experiential elements. Furthermore, the CONCOR analysis yielded seven distinct clusters: “sports events,” “infrastructure development,” “experiential content,” “urban branding,” “talent cultivation,” “marketing,” and “startups.” This corroborates that sports tourism is a convergent industry with a multidimensional structure. Sentiment analysis results showed an 86.53% positive sentiment, indicating a predominantly favorable overall perception of local specialized sports tourism initiatives. Identified negative keywords were found to reflect limitations in policy and operational aspects. These results suggest that local specialized sports tourism initiatives are pivotal strategies capable of contributing to regional economic revitalization and enhancing urban competitiveness. Concurrently, they underscore the imperative for systematic policy design and sustainable operational strategies. This research is significant as it proposes a theoretical framework for understanding sports tourism as an expanded convergent industry that integrates experiences, infrastructure, brands, and an industrial ecosystem.

Abstract
This study extends the resource-based approach to Olympic performance by examining the relationships among sport-specific medal distribution, participation structure, and economic conditions at the national level. Using panel data from countries participating in the Summer Olympics from Sydney 2000 to Paris 2024, multiple regression analysis is conducted with sport concentration (HHI), the number of sports participated, and economic size (GDP) as key variables. The results show that sport concentration is positively associated with Olympic performance, whereas the number of sports participated is negatively associated with performance. These findings suggest that expanding participation does not necessarily lead to improved outcomes and that the dispersion of resources may act as an important structural factor. The relationship between sport concentration and performance varies depending on economic conditions. Robustness checks using medal efficiency yield consistent results. These findings indicate that Olympic performance is not simply determined by resource size or participation breadth, but is shaped by the combined structure of medal distribution, participation, and economic conditions. This study contributes by integrating sport-specific medal distribution and participation structure and showing that their relationships differ across economic contexts.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore conceptual factors related to the mental health of elite sports for athletes with disabilities. To achieve this purpose, the concept map research method proposed by Novak and Gowin (1984) was employed. A total of 36 participants were included in the study, consisting of 18 individuals in the athlete group and 18 individuals in the coach group. In addition, an independent t-test was conducted using the SPSS 23.0 statistical program to examine the differences in concept map characteristics between the two groups. The results obtained from this process were as follows. First, the superordinate concepts of mental health among elite athletes with disabilities were categorized into four dimensions: psychological mental health, emotional mental health, social mental health, and physical mental health. The dependent concepts ranged from 17 to 61 types across each superordinate concept. Second, among the concept map characteristics, the levels of hierarchy, number of dependent concepts, and score of characteristics were highest in psychological mental health for both groups. Third, the concept map characteristics (hierarchy, number of dependent concepts, and score of characteristics) between the athlete group and the coach group showed no statistically significant differences. These findings provide meaningful evidence for establishing a mental health support system for elite athletes with disabilities. Furthermore, the results may serve as foundational data for developing tailored psychological and emotional support programs, strengthening coach education systems, and improving both athletic performance and quality of life among elite athletes with disabilities.

Abstract
This study aimed to enhance middle school students' physical literacy (PL) by developing a 10-lesson physical education program in the movement domain, using the core concept of Sense of Coherence (SOC) from Salutogenesis theory as a guiding framework for instructional design, and to explore its applicability. Following the procedures of Design-Based Research (DBR) Type I, 13 relevant studies were analyzed and a needs assessment was conducted with 50 in-service physical education teachers. Based on the alignment between PL and SOC, five design principles were derived. These principles were applied to develop a 10-lesson instructional plan aligned with the achievement standards of the 2022 revised physical education curriculum in the movement domain, along with five types of assessment tools. Content validity was verified by a panel of eight experts. The results indicated that both the instructional plan and assessment tools demonstrated high validity (S-CVI/Ave = 0.97), and all items in the design principles domain achieved perfect agreement (I-CVI = 1.00). The program was structured around a five-phase instructional sequence: "understanding-exploration-practice-sustainability-sharing" and was refined through expert feedback to enhance its feasibility for practical implementation. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for shifting physical education from a disease-prevention orientation to a salutogenic perspective. Furthermore, it proposes practical instructional strategies to implement a self-directed learning structure in which students understand, manage, and assign meaning to their health within physical education settings.

Abstract
This study reviews research trends in sleep regularity through a literature review, examines the characteristics of available measurement tools, and proposes future research directions for Korean sport science. Sleep regularity―defined as the day-to-day consistency of sleep-wake patterns―independently predicts health and performance outcomes beyond sleep duration or quality, and has been shown to predict mortality more strongly than sleep duration. Five metrics are available: intra-individual standard deviation (StDev), interdaily stability (IS), social jetlag (SJL), composite phase deviation (CPD), and the Sleep Regularity Index (SRI). The Sleep Regularity Test (SRT), developed in Korea, offers a methodologically transparent alternative validated through Monte Carlo simulation. IS, SRI, and SRT are comparatively suitable for athletic populations, as these tools can accommodate diverse sleep patterns including napping, based on full sleep-wake signals. Athletes face structural exposure to sleep irregularity due to fluctuating training loads, travel-induced circadian disruption, the coexistence of late-night competitions and early-morning sessions, habitual napping, and divergent in-season and off-season routines. While international sport science research on sleep regularity has grown considerably, systematic investigation in Korean sport science has yet to begin. Priority directions include athlete surveys, tool validation, performance associations, and intervention development.

Abstract
This study expands the evaluation framework of AI-based sports prediction from simple win-loss accuracy to a point differential-based performance conversion mechanism, empirically verifying profitability conditions within the NBA handicap betting market. Analyzing NBA regular-season data (2020~21 to 2024~25) via 5-fold cross-validation, the Linear Support Vector Machine (Linear SVM) demonstrated the lowest mean absolute error (MAE). This optimal model was subsequently applied to the 2024~25 season, integrating Betman's closing odds and handicap lines. By operationally defining "handicap distance" as the variance between the predicted point differential and the market line, a clear structural trade-off emerged: elevating distance thresholds progressively reduced betting coverage while significantly increasing the hit rate. Furthermore, empirical findings demonstrated that the pool of profitable games contracts contingent upon the pricing structure, notably when contrasting the standard 1.90 decimal odds baseline (approx. 52.6% break-even) against the domestic Sports Toto environment (approx. 57.5% break-even). In conclusion, data-driven sports game predictions translate into realized economic value only when coupled with specific selection rules and market pricing structures, rather than relying exclusively on statistical accuracy. Consequently, this research provides objective criteria for formulating rational operational parameters and fostering a responsible industrial ecosystem for sports prediction services.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural relationship between the types of feedback from golf leaders perceived by amateur golf participants and their exercise immersion and intention to continue exercise, and to verify the mediating effect of exercise immersion in this process. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 350 users of indoor golf ranges in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 and Hayes’ PROCESS macro (Model 4). To ensure the validity and reliability of the measurement tools, exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha were calculated, and the basic assumptions of regression analysis were reviewed. The significance of the mediating effect was tested using 5,000 bootstrapping iterations. The results of the study are as follows: First, among the feedback types of golf leaders, both verbal and non-verbal feedback had a significant positive (+) effect on exercise immersion. Second, the feedback types of leaders had a direct positive (+) effect on the participants’ intention to continue exercise. Third, exercise immersion was found to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between feedback types and the intention to continue exercise. These findings suggest that multi-faceted feedback strategies that induce psychological immersion, beyond simple technical instruction, are a key mechanism for leading long-term exercise participation in golf coaching. By empirically identifying the structural mediating pathways between variables that were overlooked in previous studies, this study provides theoretical and practical basic data for golf instruction in sports for all.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale measuring the perceived performance components of golfers. To achieve this, prior studies and literature related to perceived performance were reviewed, and open-ended surveys and interviews were conducted with golfers and golf experts, resulting in the generation of 82 preliminary items. Subsequently, through three rounds of content validity assessment by sport psychology professors and golf experts, as well as face validity testing with golfers, 50 items were retained as preliminary items. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted with 250 KPGA and KLPGA players to examine the factor structure of the scale. The results revealed a five-factor structure consisting of psychological (2 items), physical (3 items), shot technique (5 items), short game technique (5 items), and strategy (5 items), yielding a total of 20 items. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was then performed with 277 KPGA and KLPGA players to validate the construct, and the model demonstrated acceptable fit indices (RMR, CFI, TLI, RMSEA). For external validity, differences based on gender were examined among 298 golfers, and significant differences were found in some factors. This study is meaningful in that it developed and validated a scale that quantitatively measures key components of golf performance based on self-evaluation. The developed scale can be utilized to identify multidimensional characteristics of performance―psychological, physical, technical, and strategic―and to inform training and coaching programs, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of performance-related interventions.

Abstract
This study examined information access characteristics and functional factors associated with physical activity participation among older adults with visual impairments. Data from the 2024 Survey on Sports Participation of Persons with Disabilities were analyzed using complex-sample hierarchical logistic regression. Walking pattern was significantly associated with participation; independently ambulatory participants showed a higher participation rate (67.1%) than those requiring assistance (52.5%). Information access and awareness of sports facilities were also significantly associated with participation. Higher participation rates were observed among those who obtained information through newspapers and online news articles, welfare facilities, and family members or acquaintances. After information access and facility awareness were included, the association between walking pattern and participation was attenuated. These findings suggest that appropriate information provision and environmental support may help reduce participation barriers related to physical constraints among older adults with visual impairments.
