In comparison, the affective component (i.e., emotions associated with a group) develops through direct contact ( Stangor et al., 1991 ) and is a stronger determinant of discrimination or exclusion toward minority groups than the cognitive

Rugby union is a skill-based contact team sport that demands high levels of physical and tactical skill. 1 High-intensity activities can include many acceleration and deceleration events applied in multiple directions, such as contacts with opposition players during a tackle. 2 Movement and

, which, in turn, supports meaningful research. The theory of interest in this research study was Allport’s ( 1954 ) contact theory. Allport ( 1954 ) first proposed the theory that social contact will improve relationships between members of majority and minority groups. He theorized that as people come
Light Finger Touch on the Upper Legs Reduces Postural Sway during Quasi-Static Standing

The purpose of this study was to test whether a light finger touch on one’s own body (upper legs) reduces postural sway. Ten healthy males participated. In the first part of the study, the participants stood upright with their eyes closed on a force platform while ground reaction force data were collected. Two conditions differing in the placement of the arms and fingers were tested. In the no-touch condition, the participants kept their hands in loose fists. In the finger-touch condition, the participants lightly touched the lateral sides of the upper legs with all fingers. Postural sway measures were calculated from the ground reaction force data. In the second part of the study, the participants stood upright on a pneumatic balance disk while ground reaction force data were collected. Experimental and measurement protocols were identical to those used in the first part of the study. The results showed that light finger touch on the upper legs significantly reduced postural sway on the balance disk up to ~7%. The data from this study suggest that decreased postural sway due to finger contact may improve balance control during other standing tasks.
Magnitude and Spatial Distribution of Impact Intensity Under the Foot Relates to Initial Foot Contact Pattern
Bastiaan Breine, Philippe Malcolm, Veerle Segers, Joeri Gerlo, Rud Derie, Todd Pataky, Edward C. Frederick, and Dirk De Clercq
The classification of foot contact patterns, ie, rearfoot, midfoot, or forefoot contact patterns, has proven relevant due to a possible relation with running economy or performance. 1 , 2 However, this classification is particularly relevant because of its relationship with the intensity of
