English abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the rearing of children and young people within equestrian sports in Sweden during the second half of the 20th century. In contemporary times the Swedish Sport Movement, together with schools, is the most important rearing environment for children. However, the actual goal of the rearing, except of course learning a specific sport activity, is more unclear. The question is important as children’s sports receive significant financial support from the government. In the contemporary debate on this issue, children’s experiences as well as emotions like happiness and sorrow; fellowship and marginalization are presented as outcomes of children’s sports activities. In recent times especially the competitative rearing ambitions have been criticized whereas goals like participation for all have been emphasized as the primer aim. Other questions have been the role of parents and children’s inclination and discomfort in connection to sports. Previous research on football for children and young people has demonstrated that political intentions emphasizing sports for all and a rearing focused on democratic values has justified governmental financial support to children’s and young people’s sports activities. Despite this, children within the football associations are often raised with values connected to competition and marginalization (Peterson 1993). Furthermore, children’s sports environment is very authoritarian (Redelius 2002). Rearing within the sports movement is also a question of gender. Generally sports has been connected to men and masculine values (Olofsson 1989; Hjelm 2004; Larsson 2005; Hedenborg 2008). A study of rearing activities within football has demonstrated that quite young boys are met by a masculinity constructed in opposition to homosexuality and femininity (Fundberg 2003). Whether the same values can be, and have been, seen in equestrian sports is questioned in this paper. Furthermore it is argued that the target of rearing can be connected to gender. A question raised is whether the target of rearing can explain the feminizing process within equestrian sports. Annual reports from one of the equestrian organizations (Ridfrämjandet), interviews with two persons who have been working with education within this organization and letters from children sent to a children’s magazine are used as source material. The latter is of specific interest as this source material will reflect children’s own experiences and view of the rearing aims.

Swedish abstract:

Normal hjärtfunktion hos förstorade idrottshjärtan – en MR-studie av manliga elittriatleters hjärtan Henrik Mosén1, Mathilda Eliasson1, Marcus Carlsson1, Andreas Persson1, Torsten Buhre2 och Håkan Arheden1. Avdelningen för klinisk fysiologi, Universitetssjukhuset i Lund1, Idrottsvetenskap, Malmö högskola2. Bakgrund: Endast ett fåtal studier av uthållighetstränade elitidrottares hjärtan har gjorts med kardiovaskulär MR-teknik (CMR). Tidigare studier har ofta använt ekokardiografi som undersökningsmodalitet, men MR-tekniken är i många avseenden en bättre metod när särskild exakthet i mätningar och mycket god reproducerbarhet är önskvärd. Syftet med studien var därför att med modern CMR-teknik jämföra elitidrottares hjärtan med hjärtan hos normalt tränade personer, med avseende på struktrella och funktionella parametrar. Metod: 13 svenska manliga elittriatleter, 33,3  5,7 år gamla, genomförde ett maximalt arbetsprov med gasanalys för att fastställa deras arbetsfysiologiska status. Hjärtparametrarna studerades med moderna MR-sekvenser, som steady state free precession (SSFP). Studien gjordes som 4 delstudier, där målet var att klargöra om man kan finna några hjärtfysiologiska skillnader mellan elitidrottarna och normaltränade individer. Vänsterkammarmassa (LVM), vänsterkammarvolymer och cardiac index (CI) studerades. Dessutom gjordes mätningar av total hjärtvolym (THV) och total hjärtvolymsvariation (THVV) hos elitidrottarna, något som inte gjorts tidigare. Resultat: CI var något, men inte signifikant (p = 0,10), förhöjt hos elitidrottarna jämfört med normala. LVM och slutdiastoliska och slutsystoliska volymer var högre än referensvärden för åldersmatchade normala, men ejektionsfraktionen hos idrottarna skilde sig inte från de normalas. Idrottarna hade en signifikant (p<0,001) större THV men skilde sig inte från normaler vad gäller THVV. Sammanfattning: Vi konstaterar att hjärtat hos de uthållighetstränade elitidrottare vi studerat skiljer sig från normala hjärtan vad gäller storleken, där både vänsterkammaren såväl som hela hjärtat är större hos elitidrottarna. Vad gäller funktionen är den helt normal vad gäller alla studerade parametrar, vilket kan tolkas som att förstoringen av idrottshjärtat är en väl balanserad anpassning till högre krav på hjärtat som pump.
