Summary
Professional soccer managers face significant vocal demands, increasing their risk of occupational voice disorders. Further research into their vocal behaviors and prevention strategies is essential.
Area of Science:
- Occupational health
- Speech-language pathology
- Sports management
Background:
- Heavy voice use in certain professions elevates the risk of occupational voice disorders.
- Previous research has concentrated on educators, singers, and call-center advisors.
- The vocal demands on professional soccer managers remain under-researched.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the daily occupational voice use experiences of professional soccer managers.
- To identify the specific vocal demands and challenges faced by this professional group.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative research methods were employed.
- The study focused on the daily experiences of professional soccer managers.
- Data analysis identified four global themes related to voice use.
Main Results:
- Identified themes include voice uses, factors affecting voice change, impact of voice use, and the importance of voice in soccer management.
- Soccer managers experience intense and prolonged voice use.
- Adverse acoustic environments and poor phonation methods are identified risk factors.
Conclusions:
- Soccer management involves significant vocal demands, posing a risk for voice disorders.
- There is a need for research into vocal behaviors and early prevention programs for professional soccer managers.

01:23Motion of a Projectile
Projectile motion becomes evident when a player kicks the ball into the air. The launch angle, or the angle at which the ball is kicked, plays a crucial role in determining the trajectory of the projectile. As the ball soars through the air, influenced solely by gravity, its motion can be dissected into two independent velocity components: the horizontal and the vertical.
Horizontal motion, governed by the initial kick, maintains a constant velocity throughout the flight of the soccer ball.

01:14Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role is assigned, it becomes socially...
01:27Air-entraining Agents
Air-entraining agents improve the durability and workability of concrete in climates with frequent freezing and thawing. These agents prevent cracks by introducing small air bubbles into the mix, creating spaces accommodating water expansion when temperatures drop. The air-entraining agents lower the surface tension of water, forming stable, small air bubbles. This method is more effective than having accidental large voids, as the intentional, smaller, and evenly distributed air voids improve...
01:29Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...
01:04Social Facilitation
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.
01:29Professional Values
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...
