Full textFrom desport to sport, from distraction to the voluntary, habitual and risky cult of physical exercise, from fun to competition, from isolated practice to mass sport, from dilettantism to professionalism, sporting activity has undergone profound upheaval. Similarly, the relationship between care and the notion of the medical act has undergone a metamorphosis. As a mechanism for regulating social phenomena, the law cannot remain indifferent to these developments, and new legal disciplines are gradually emerging. Responding to their own challenges and rationales, sports law and health law oscillate between respect for common law and the temptation of emancipation. Although sport as a mass spectacle did not originate as a Deus ex machina, this movement has intensified and globalised considerably, mobilising colossal economic interests. The body and health of sportsmen and women have become the focus of attention. As a result, the medical presence of athletes has grown to become omnipresent. At the confluence of sporting and medical activities, paradoxical injunctions are emerging. The practitioner must ensure that the athlete's health is preserved, while at the same time seeking to support the athlete's performance. This obvious ambivalence of objectives leads to the identification of a singularity in the medical-sports care relationship which influences the nature of the acts performed. This confrontation leads us to seek a fair balance between the imperatives of sports law and those of health law, justifying the emergence of an appropriate legal framework for the specific nature of sport

As professional gaming (e-sports) develops a greater global infrastructure, it will be critical to create league systems in which skill and luck balance to create competitive, exciting, and fair environments. This study uses the most developed e-sport leagues, found in the game League of Legends (LoL), to examine early efforts at crafting such environments. The use of "winning persistence" and Bayesian statistical analyses reveal that best-of-one matches in LoL demonstrate an overall luck-skill ratio similar to professional baseball (MLB) and football (NFL). Best-of-three matches exhibit an understandably higher ratio of skill, similar to professional basketball (NBA). With both match lengths exhibiting viable but significantly different luck-skill ratios, LoL creator, Riot Games has the tools to control how much luck and skill exist in their matches and leagues, setting an important precedent for future leagues and organizations.

Professional sports stadium development projects are major civic endeavors, and city officials and sports franchises often promise stadiums will generate significant gains in the regional economy. This study examines the effectiveness of stadium development in inducing economic development and urban revitalization by conducting a secondary data analysis, and case study of PNC Park and Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Consistent with prior empirical studies, the secondary data analysis shows that stadium projects do not always produce significant regional economic benefits. A close investigation of the two stadium projects in the North Shore neighborhood of Pittsburgh, however, finds substantially positive effects on investment and physical development at the district level. The present research suggests that stadium developments can be a more powerful urban redevelopment catalyst when consideration is given to four essential factors – location, design, institutional structure, and history and timing.

Full textThe success of Chinese professional athletes is attributable to the government-run elite sport system; it is seen as one of the most effective and successful systems at nurturing high-skilled athletes. However, within the Chinese professional sport system, tensions between athletes' athletic skills and overall personal development have been widely documented. Among all studies, very few have employed in-depth interviews with professional wushu athletes. In this study, the researcher utilized in-depth semi-structured interviews with professional wushu athletes from three of the 25 professional wushu teams in mainland China. The study was conducted in order to understand the potential conflicts between athletes' athletic skills development and overall personal development. Findings revealed that athletes bear the training at great cost to their future potential as self-sufficient members of Chinese society. Their academic, social, and vocational skills are subject to deep neglect that negatively impacts their post-competition careers. The system considers investment in preparation for the post-competitive lives of the athletes to be a distraction from, or even an impediment to, their success in competition. It is suggested that the Chinese sport system undertake a review and reformation of its approach to wushu training to provide athletes with the skills needed to successfully navigate a life outside of athletics.
