Titre de l'écran-titre (visionné le 1er mai 2023) / Contexte En 2016, des médecins ont fait un signalement à la santé publique d'une région du Québec en raison d'une compétition de motocross où cinq enfants se sont blessés. L'INSPQ a reçu le mandat d'étudier le risque de blessures reliées à la pratique de motocross au Québec et de le comparer à d'autres sports. Ce mémoire a été réalisé dans le cadre de ce mandat. Objectifs Mesurer puis comparer les taux d'incidence de blessures lors de compétitions de motocross et de ski alpin au Québec selon l'âge (<16 ans, ≥16 ans) entre 2015 et 2019. Méthodologie Les cas de blessés ont été déterminés en comptabilisant les participants évacués en ambulance lors de compétitions. L'exposition a été déterminée à l'aide de relevés de résultats de compétitions, par nombre de départs et par unité de temps. Les taux d'incidence de blessés évacués ont été déterminés en utilisant les départs et le temps comme mesures d'exposition, puis comparés à l'aide de ratios de taux d'incidence. Résultats En mesurant l'exposition par nombre de départs, le taux d'incidence d'évacuation en ambulance est plus élevé dans les compétitions de motocross que dans celles de ski alpin chez les <16 ans et les ≥16 ans (ratios des taux d'incidence : <16 ans = 18,01 [IC95 % : 6,87-47,19], ≥ 16 ans = 5,67 [IC95 % : 2,60-12,37]). En mesurant l'exposition par unité de temps, il n'y a pas de différence statistiquement significative. Discussion Cette étude démontre un taux d'incidence d'évacuation en ambulance plus important en compétitions de motocross qu'en ski alpin lorsque l'exposition est mesurée par nombre de départs, mais non statistiquement différent lorsque l'exposition est mesurée par unité de temps. Les plus longues manches du motocross sont inhérentes à la discipline et cette plus longue durée d'exposition par manche augmente le risque de blessures. / Background In 2016, emergency physicians notified a regional public health bureau in Quebec, Canada, about a motocross competition where 5 children were hurt. The Quebec National Institute of public health (INSPQ) was mandated to study the injuries risks related to motocross practice in Quebec and compare it to other sports. This master's thesis is a part of that mandate. Objectives Quantify and compare incidence rates of injuries in motocross and alpine skiing competitions in Quebec according to age (<16 y/o., ≥16 y/o) between 2015 and 2019. Methods Injured cases were measured by ambulance evacuation reports in competitions. Exposures were measured with the competitions results sheets, by measuring the number of departures and the time spent in competitions. Incidence rates of ambulance-evacuated injured participants were calculated, by the number of departures and the time spent in competitions, and compared using incidence rate ratios. Results When measuring the incidence rate ratio with the exposure by the number of departures, the risk of being injured and evacuated by ambulance is higher in motocross competitions than alpine skiing competitions in both <16 y/o and ≥16 y/o groups (incidence rate ratios: <16 y/o = 18.01 [IC95%: 6.87-47.19]), ≥16 y/o = 5.67 [IC95%:2.60-12.37]. When measuring the incidence rate ratio with the exposure by the time spent in competitions, there is no statistically significant difference between motocross and alpine skiing competitions. Discussion Ambulance evacuation incidence rates are statistically higher in motocross competitions than alpine skiing competitions when measuring the exposures by the number of departures, but not statistically different when measuring the exposure by the time spent in competitions. The longer duration of the motocross rounds compared to the alpine skiing rounds is inherent to the discipline and this longer round duration increase the risk of injuries.

Literatūros apžvalga parodė, kad Lietuvoje atliktų tyrimų, analizuojančių mažųjų dviračių kroso (BMX) sportininkų rengimą beveik nėra. Todėl tampa aktualu ištirti BMX dviratininkų parengtumo charakteristikas, kurios būtų nukreiptos į specifinių fizinių ir funkcinių galių išugdymą.Tyrimo objektas – mažųjų dviračių kroso (BMX) sportininkų fizinis parengtumas. / Relevance of the research. The review of literature shows that there are almost no research works carried out in Lithuania on physical fitness of bicycle motocross (BMX) racers. Therefore, it is relevant to investigate characteristics of bicycle motocross (BMX) racers’ physical fitness in order to direct them towards development of specific physical and functional powers.

This study aimed to investigate the effects that a specifically tailored goal-setting program would have on two motocross racers in terms of their self-efficacy and motivation, as well as the process of designing this intervention. This case-study approach involved a mixed methods approach, consisting of pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments, interviews, and performance profiles. The tools used include Vealey’s (1986) Competitive Orientation Inventory (COI), Gill and Deeter’s (1988) Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ), performance profiles, and semi-structured interviews. The goal-setting intervention lasted a total of five weeks. The results from the preintervention and post-intervention assessments were compared to determine whether any changes in motivation or self-efficacy occurred during the intervention. For the first participant, significant changes in both motivation and self-efficacy were present in addition to significant changes in competitive orientation. For the second participant, there were no significant changes in either motivation or self-efficacy. However, for the second participant there was also no change in competitive orientation. Findings suggest that the focus and competitive orientation of an athlete have a significant influence on the types of goals set, and consequently on positive changes in motivation, confidence, and self-efficacy. The influence of the competitive orientation in athletes also highlighted the importance of attaining a balance between performance and outcome goal-related activities. It was also discovered through qualitative assessment that this program is suitable for particular groups of athletes such as those who are injured, display an external locus of causality or are otherwise not performing at their prime.

Motorsport fields autocross, rallycross and motocross no more have the status they had in recent history. They have to share their popularity with a growing offer of other attractive leisure activities. At the same time automobile clubs (keepers of motorsport stadiums, where various motorsport venues are held) have to deal with a decrease in financial and material support. Sponsors now decide more carefully about the sports to which they will link their brands. To reach an overall prosperity it is essential to focus marketing strategy on both channels -- B2B as well as B2C. Theoretical part of the thesis deals with a strategic marketing in sport industry with a focus on marketing mix. On the other hand practical part uses empirical and theoretical methods to analyze marketing mix of autocross, rallycross and motocross stadiums in the Czech Republic. Conclusion of the practical part summarizes the aim of the diploma thesis. Firstly, there is an analysis of Sedlčany Motorsport Stadium's marketing mix. The results are then used for creation of a new marketing strategy of this sport facility.
