Sporting Capital: Transforming Sports Development Policy and Practice (Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society)
by Nicholas F. RoweIn a world of competing public policy priorities, economic challenges and political uncertainty, sports development organisations and initiatives need to adapt to survive. This book makes the case for 'Sporting Capital' as a new conceptual model of sports participation with the potential to transform public policy and practice in sports development. The central argument presented is that a model of Sporting Capital - with its three domains of physiological, social and psychological attributes - provides a missing framework, creating a new impetus for sustained growth in community sport by joining up the levels at which sports development is planned and implemented. Touching on important issues such as youth sport, public health, volunteering, disability, ethnicity and social inequality, it examines patterns of sports participation in relation to age, gender and social class and offers recommendations for strategic policy improvements that can be implemented by practitioners working on the frontline of community sport. Sporting Capital: Transforming Sports Development Policy and Practice provides valuable insights for all those interested in sports development, youth sport, community sport, or sport and social policy.
Sporting Equality: Title IX Thirty Years Later
by Rita J. SimonAs part of its Education Amendments, the United States Congress passed Title IX in 1972 to ensure that no person should be discriminated against in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. In the decades since, Title IX has had, among other effects, a marked increase on school athletic programs for women and girls at both the high school and college level. Despite this, a range of questions have been raised about the effectiveness of the federal government's enforcement, and also the impact on male athletics. The government can enact legislation, but how it works remains the domain of administrators at one end and thousands of athletes at the other. Sporting Equality reviews the impact of Title IX thirty years after its passage, and suggests future areas of contention.This new title includes the major findings and recommendations of the Secretary of Education's Commission on Opportunities in Athletics established in 2002, as well as the commission's minority report. These contributions are followed by seven chapters that analyze and assess the strength and weakness of Title IX and offer recommendations for strengthening or changing its goals and objectives. These include: Kimberly A. Yuracko, ""Title IX and the Problem of Gender Equality in Athletics""; Eric C. Dudley, Jr. and George Rutherglen, ""A Comment on the Report of the Commission to Review Title IX""; Barbara Murray, ""How to Evaluate the Implementation of Title IX at Colleges and Universities and Attitudes and Interest of Students Regarding Athletics""; John J. Cheslock and Deborah Anderson, ""Lessons From Research on Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics""; Valerie M. Bonnette, ""The Little Fusses Over Title IX.""The book concludes with two controversial chapters. The first, by Leo Kocher, argues that Title IX has been detrimental to male athletics, especially gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, and track, while the second by Ellen J. Staurowsky claims that T

Sporting Gentlemen: Men's Tennis from the Age of Honor to the Cult of the Superstar
by E. Digby BaltzellTennis is a high-stakes game, played by prodigies identified early and coached by professionals in hopes of high rankings and endorsements. This commercial world is far removed from the origins of the sport. Before 1968—when Wimbledon invited professional players to compete for the first time—tennis was part of a sportsmanship tradition that emphasized character over money. It produced well-rounded gentlemen who expressed a code of honor, not commerce.In this authoritative and affectionate history of men's tennis, distinguished sociologist E. Digby Baltzell recovers the glory of the age. From its aristocratic origins in the late ninteenth century, to the Tilden years, and through a succession of newcomers, the amateur era and its virtues survived a century of democratization and conflict. Sporting Gentlemen examines the greatest players and matches in the history of tennis. Baltzell explores the tennis code of honor and its roots in the cricket code of the late-nineteenth-century Anglo-American upper class.This code of honor remained in spite of the later democratization of tennis. Thus, the court manners of the Renshaw twins and Doherty brothers at the Old Wimbledon were upheld to the letter by Don Budge and Jack Kramer as well as Rod Laver, John Newcombe, and Arthur Ashe. Baltzell's final chapter on the Open Era is a blistering attack on the decline of honor and the obliteration of class distinctions, leaving only those based on money. For all who love the game of tennis, Sporting Gentlemen is both fascinating history and a badly needed analysis of what has made the sport great.

Sporting Performances: Politics in Play
by Shannon L. WalshSporting Performances is the first anthology to tackle sports and physical culture from a performance perspective; it serves as an invitation and provocation for scholarly discourse on the connections between sports and physical culture, and theatre and performance. Through a series of intriguing case studies that blur the lines between the realms of politics, sports, physical culture, and performance, this book assumes that sporting performances, much like theatre, serve as barometers, mirrors, and refractors of the culture in which they are enmeshed. Some of the topics include nineteenth-century variety show pugilists, athletes on Broadway, sumo wrestlers, rhythmic gymnasts, and Strava enthusiasts. While analyzing sport through the lens of theatre and performance, this anthology reflects on how physical culture and sports contribute to identity formation and the effects of nuanced imprints of physical activity on the mind, soul, and tongue. Written primarily for those interested in physical fitness, sports, dance, and physical theatre, this interdisciplinary volume is a crucial tool for Performance and Theatre Studies students and those in the fields of Sports Studies, Cultural Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, and American Studies more broadly.

Sportkardiologie
by Josef NiebauerIn der Sportmedizin und Kardiologie gewinnt die Sportkardiologie zunehmend an Bedeutung mit den Bestrebungen eine Subspezialisierung zu etablieren. Derzeit ist sie in Lehre und Klinik jedoch unterrepräsentiert und Sportmedizinern und Kardiologen, die Sportler betreuen, stellen sich häufig sportkardiologische Fragen, auf die sie bisher keine Antworten finden.

Der inhaltliche Bogen reicht von der Prävention kardialer Erkrankungen bis hin zu speziellen sportkardiologischen Aspekten im Rehabilitations-, Breiten- und Leistungssport. Geschrieben wurde es von Mitgliedern der Deutschen oder Österreichischen Gesellschaften für Kardiologie und Sportmedizin.

Sportler*innen motivieren: Gedanken verändern - Leistung steigern
by Vanessa Gottschall Susanne Kappes Oliver DickhäuserIm Sport ist Motivation unabdinglich für Erfolgserlebnisse. Wer motiviert ist, hat die besten Voraussetzungen, gute Leistungen zu erzielen. Doch was machen, wenn es einmal nicht so gut läuft? Wenn Sportler*innen das Gefühl haben, dass sie keinen Einfluss auf ihre Leistung haben und unmotiviert sind?Genau in diesen Fällen hilft es, die Gedanken der Sportler*innen zu erkunden. Wie Sportler*innen über sich selbst und ihre eigenen Leistungen denken, beeinflusst ihre Motivation und ihr späteres Verhalten im Training oder Wettkampf. Denn häufig liegt es nicht an der Situation selbst, dass Sportler*innen unmotiviert sind, sondern daran, wie sie über diese denken.In diesem Buch werden Wege aufgezeigt, wie die Gedanken von Sportler*innen verändert werden können, um Motivation und Leistung zu steigern. Neben theoretischen Grundlagen und Anwendungsprinzipien werden auch konkrete Trainingsmaterialien zur Motivationsförderung bereitgestellt. Das Buch eignet sich sowohl für Trainer*innen als auch für Sportler*innen. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, ob es sich um Einzelsport, Mannschaftssport, Breitensport oder Leistungssport handelt.
