"Participation in Interscholastic and Intramural Sport Programs in Middle Schools: An Exploratory Investigation of Race and Gender."

Full textAbstract:
Although school-sponsored extracurricular sport remains one of the most popular and effective ways to increase adolescents' physical activity levels, it is designed to include a small number of a school's elite athletes. Fewer schools offer intramural sports, and little is known about participation in these activities. The purpose of this study is to compare variations in how students participate in interscholastic and intramural school sport programs. Using a sample of seventh and eighth graders in two southeastern middle schools, results indicated that school sport participation levels were higher in intramurals than interscholastic sports for all studied categories of students except for White girls. In addition, students participating in intramural sports played nearly twice as many sports during the school year as students participating in interscholastic sports. Gender and race differences in school sport participation both confirm and contradict previous research and suggest that schools should consider cultural factors when planning sport programs for diverse populations of young people.

Full textAbstract:
Although early sports specialization is associated with sports-related injuries, relevant quantitative studies on young non-elite athletes, the majority of sports participants, are scarce. We described sports specialization time points and the characteristics of sports-related injuries. Undergraduate students at a university in Japan (n = 830) recalled their history of sports participation from elementary to high school and sports-related injuries in a self-administered questionnaire. Of 570 valid respondents, 486 (85%) engaged in sports at least once. Significantly more respondents played multiple sports in upper elementary school (30%) than in other school categories (1–23%). In junior high and high schools, 90% and 99% played only one sport, respectively. Of the 486 respondents who played sports, 263 (54%) had experienced acute or overuse injuries. The proportion of injured participants significantly differed by school category: lower elementary school (4%), upper elementary school (21%), junior high (35%), and high school (41%). The proportions of acute or overuse injuries in males were higher than those in females. In conclusion, this study clarified a slight variation in sports items, particularly in junior high and high schools, which demonstrates 13 years as the age of beginning specialization in a single sport. More than half of the non-elite athletes experienced sports-related injuries. Injuries were frequently observed in males and those in junior high and high schools.

Artykuł poświęcony jest działalności sportowej młodzieży szkolnej w m. Kaliszu do 1939 roku. Ruch sportowy młodzieży szkolnej m. Kalisza rozpoczął się w II dekadzie XX wieku. Miał charakter spontaniczny, ograniczony do meczów piłkarskich „dzikich drużyn”. Formalnego kształtu przybrał po 1921 roku, tj. powołaniu uczniowskich kół sportowych, następnie Przystani Wioślarskiej Młodzieży Szkolnej (1929 rok) i Międzyszkolnego Klubu Sportowego (1932 rok). Najpopularniejszymi dyscyplinami sportowymi w środowisku młodzieży była piłka nożna, boks, lekkoatletyka oraz wioślarstwo. Najwyższy poziom sportowy demonstrowali uczniowie Gimnazjum Państwowego im. Adama Asnyka i Gimnazjum Państwowego im. Tadeusza Kościuszki. Największym sukcesem sportowym było wywalczenie przez pięściarzy Międzyszkolnego Klubu Sportowego tytułów drużynowego mistrza m. Kalisza w boksie w latach 1932 i 1933. Corocznie młodzież szkolna uczestniczyła w mistrzostwach szkół średnich i świętach wychowania fizycznego i przysposobienia wojskowego. Główny ruch sportowy skoncentrowany był w środowisku męskiej młodzieży szkół gimnazjalnych. Sport wśród dziewcząt oraz uczniów szkół powszechnych był opóźniony. Niekorzystny wpływ na rozwój sportu szkolnego miało zarządzenie władz oświatowych izolujące sport szkolny od klubów i stowarzyszeń sportowych. School Sports in the City of Kalisz up to 1939: The article reviews sports activities of school youth in the city of Kalisz up to 1939. The sports movement of school youth in the city of Kalisz began in the second decade of the 20th century. It was spontaneous, limited to football matches played by unofficial teams. It was formalized after 1921,that is, after instituting students sports associations, then after forming the School Youth Boathouse (1929) and Interschool Sports Center (1932). The most popular sport disciplines among young people were football, boxing, athletics and rowing. The highest sport level was demonstrated by students of Adam Asnyk State Gymnasium and Tadeusz Kościuszko State Gymnasium. The greatest sporting success was winning the boxing team championships by boxers of Interschool Sports Center in 1932 and 1933. Every year school youth participated in high school championships and Physical Education and Basic Military Training events. The main sports movement was concentrated among male youth of junior high schools. Sport among girls and primary schoolchildren was delayed. The development of school sports activities was adversely affected by the directive issued by education authorities which isolated school sports from sports clubs and associations.

Full textAbstract:
There is a significant investment by schools and local communities in the athletic programs offered by secondary schools. A growing issue is, to what extent does the functioning of these sports programs coincide with the formal academic goals of the school? Using a structural equations model, we examine one theme within this major issue by estimating the effect of high school sports participation on sport and leisure activity later in adulthood. Further investigated is the process by which these effects are played out over the transition from adolescence to adulthood, as well as gender differences in the pattern of effects. Using the EEO panel of 1955 high school sophomores reinterviewed in 1970, we find that varsity and nonvarsity sports participation in high school increases adult sports involvement. However, whereas high school sports participation does not retard reading or “high-status” leisure pursuits in adulthood, curriculum track placement during high school does enhance these activities later in life. Track effects were also largely independent of completed school level. Finally, gender variations in the model were present but not uniformly so and largely appear to make sport participation and tracking effects significant only among men.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to establish the correlates of sports confidence among high school athletes. The study examined Vealey’s (1986) nine sources of sports confidence in relation to contextual factors of gender, age, playing experience and type of sport. A descriptive survey design was used, and data were collected using Vealey’s Sources of sports confidence questionnaire (SSCQ) from high school athletes (n=175). Results showed that coaches’ leadership was the highest source of sports confidence, followed by mastery and physical and mental preparation, while situational favourableness appeared to be the weakest source of confidence amongst the athletes. There were significant differences in physical self-presentation (t=-2.14, df = 173, p =0.034) in favour of male athletes. Athletes participating in individual sports had superior scores in mastery, while coaches’ leadership was the most important source of sports confidence for athletes in team sports. There were significant differences in coaches’ leadership (t=-3.118, df = 175, p = 0.002) and social support (t= -2.236, df = 175, p = 0.027) in favour of athletes in a team sport. Athletes who did not engage in their current sport while in a primary school rated coaches’ leadership highly, while mastery of the skill was scored highly by athletes who did participate in the sport while in primary school. It is concluded that coaches’ leadership skills, mastery of skill execution and physical or mental preparedness were the major sources of sports confidence. High schools should utilize coaches who can be emulated by the athletes.

The research discusses sports activity in school education, as well as contributions related to the cognitive and social aspects of students. It is based on the relevance that the practice of sport can contribute to the training of students. The objective is to discuss the limits and convergences of sports practice in school physical education, in an attempt to understand the influences of sports practice in school physical education for the social development of students. The research is bibliographic with qualitative aspects, the contributions were based on authors such as: Dias Et. Al. (2018), Common National Curriculum Base (2018), Gonzalez and Pedroso (2012), Almeida (2018), among others that covered the theme. As a result of the study, we revealed that sports practice positively influences the social, body and cognitive development of students, however, the limits were scored in the need for some schools to provide physical spaces and equipment suitable for sports, as well as if possible the school provide an assistant to the physical education teacher especially in school events and tournaments of sports activities outside the school.

Full textAbstract:
Participation in school sports has a variety of benefits for students. But not all students are able to participate in school athletics programs. In this column, Robert Kim explores the different levels of access suburban, urban, and rural students have to sports programs. And he considers whether students, regardless of where they live, have a right of equitable access to sports. Rural schools may offer more opportunities to participate in sports than suburban or urban schools. But suburban students are more likely to feel locked out of sport participation, either because the available programs do not interest them or because they are too costly. However, suburban students who do participate in sports tend to start earlier and play more, often in programs outside school. Legal advocacy involving unequal access to school sports will require creativity and a broad approach to address statewide disparities.

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the association between sports participation and sedentary behavior during school recess among Brazilian adolescents. This study included 2,243 adolescents aged 13-18 years (16.2 ± 1.1), 62.2% females and 37.8% males, enrolled in public high schools in Aracaju, Northeastern Brazil. Sedentary behavior during school recess and sport participation was self-reported. Several factors were examined, including sex, age, skin color, socioeconomic status, maternal education and physical activity level. Sixty percent of adolescents had sedentary behavior during school recess and 57.7% of adolescents reported that they did not participate in any team sport. Additionally, adolescents who did not practice any team sport were 40% more likely (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.8) to be sedentary during school recess compared to those who participated in two or more team sports. It is recommended that schools encourage students to engage in sports activities and promote more physical activity during school recess to reduce the sedentary behavior and increase physical activity levels in youth.

The Portuguese and Czech case." Education + Training 60, no. 5 (June 11, 2018): 473–89. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/et-12-2017-0207.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to perceive the perspective of Portuguese and Czech’ talented athletes regarding: the main reasons pointed to drop out of sport, putting into analysis motivational factors; the conciliation of School and Sport, and how the organization of schools and sports contexts are articulated in relation to the training and promotion of students, athletes and citizens; and the contributions (positive/negative) of sports to daily life and society. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a qualitative approach to interview eight talented athletes from different sports that had to drop out the practice of sport and explores their narratives regarding experiences and the relational dynamics between sports contexts and schools. Findings Athletes identify factors that led to drop out: the coach profile or the methodology and dynamics of practicing/training; time consuming; and the impossibility of reconciling sports with school/job. Athletes can identify the sport’s culture, self-development and health being as positive contributions of sports, whereas injuries were referred as the main negative factor of sport. As proposal of changes, athletes referred to the need of a more professional organization of the sport contexts and to more proximity between school policies and sport policies allowing conciliating both. Research limitations/implications One limitation that could be pointed to this research is the difference between the Czech and Portuguese socio-cultural and political situation, not only in the concept and organization of sports activities (since scholar years) but also in the general society. This difference could have more visibility when interpreting the data that led to this fact referred above. Practical implications It is recommended a more proximity relationship between researchers and the contexts of practice (sport contexts) being that it is important that these contexts should have feedback from the investigations carried out. Only in this way coaches, federations and confederations can be aware of the motivational factors that lead to talented athletes drop out, and make a greater investment in initial formation of the coaches and propose policies that try to establish partnerships with schools or professional contexts which could help the management of athletes’ times outside of sport. Originality/value Departing from the athletes’ feelings, concerns and motivations related to sport and the reasons that led to their drop out, we argue for the definition of public policies, in both countries, that promote non-discrimination of young people who wish to maintain a path linked to sports in articulation with other areas of their lives.

Introduction. Professional sport aims at the highest feat forcing players to achieve such a form guaranteeing victory. The career of a young athlete and focus on strict sports specialisation starts very early. The threat to professional sport comes from technological progress and the lack of natural, general forms of activities in the early school period, and resulting in movement pattern disorders and compensations resulting from them. Aim. Presentation of contemporary threats to professional sport resulting from the early implementation of sport specialisation. Research materials and methods. The research material is a group of 60 girls and 60 boys (15-19 y.o.) attending sports schools in the West Pomeranian voivodeship. The research was carried out in the period from 2015-2019 by means of questionnaire implementation. Results. The respondents declared lack of movement and general development activities in the early school period. Very early direction towards a particularly chosen sport caused a number of dysfunctions of the movement apparatus and influenced the occurrence of injuries and breaks in sports training. Moreover, it caused early termination of sports career among 70% of players. The exceptions were swimmers and water rescue participants. Conclusions. 1. Among the examined girls and boys, there was a regression in the continuation of sports career by young people attending sports schools. 2. The reason for the early completion of sports training may be the lack of movement and general development training in the early school period, and sports specialisation began far too early.

Sports participation is hailed as one of the effective ways of nurturing positive character among the youth. However, some studies have also indicated that sports may lead to undesirable behavior when conducted under certain uncontrolled conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of selected contextual factors on character changes related to sports participation among secondary school students. The study focused on level of sports participation, gender, age, type of sport, school category, school status, school type, and class level of students as independent variables with potential to influence character changes related to sports participation. A Quasi-experimental research design was utilized, with the dependent variable of character traits assessed at the pre and post three months competitive games season. Purposive sampling was used to select 336 student-athletes from 24 (9.3%) of secondary schools in Nairobi city county. A close-ended questionnaire on character which was adapted from Individual and Team Character in Sport Questionnaire (ITCSQ) and Arizona Sport Summit Accord (ASSA) was utilized for data collection at the pre-and posttests. Matched Sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed significant negative change in honest /integrity character component scores between pre-test and post-test (p=0.006). Multinomial Logistic Regression Analyses showed that boarding status, school category and type of sport can significantly (p<0.05) influence character changes among competitive student-athletes. Therefore it is concluded that boarding status, school category and type of sport can influence outcomes of sports experiences leading to positive or negative character change. It is therefore recommended that curriculum developers and implementers should consider contextual factors to optimize sports experiences and outcomes to promote desirable character changes and development.

Abstract Practicing sports at the age of puberty is important for the development of a harmonious body, as well as for the acquisition of the habit of practicing a sport activity by the teenagers to be during their spare time. This study relies on two data categories: the ones presented by the Romanian Federation of School and University Sports and the results of a vaster project developed by the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport from Iasi in partnership with the School Inspectorate of Iasi County. The research identified the percentage of middle school pupils who have the status of registered sportsmen by carrying out a sociological survey at all the middle schools (36) from the Iasi city. The study monitored a number of 8911 pupils and the statistical processing of the data showed that 4.3% of them are registered at various school sports clubs or private clubs. These values have been compared with the data provided by the Romanian Federation of School and University Sports and we have reached the conclusion that the number of pupils who practice sports is highly heterogeneous.

This study sought to examine whether athletes are more violent, delinquent, or both than their nonathlete classmates. Survey data from 2,436 high school students indicated no significant differences for violent or delinquent behaviors between athletes and nonathletes. However, analysis of the data by the type of sport indicated noncontact sport athletes were less likely to engage in various violent and delinquent behaviors than were contact sport athletes and nonathletes. These relationships were found for both males and females. Noncontact sports may provide some protective effect with regards to violence and delinquency that contact sports do not.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundParticipation in sports as a child improves physical and psychological health. Schools need to promote sport while protecting against injury. It is not clear whether increasing evidence on injury prevention generated from professional sport is influencing school sports practices. This study reviewed policies promoting sport safety in schools to determine whether exposure to injury risk is recognised and whether evidence based prevention and management are included.MethodsA search strategy to identify policies for children aged 4–18 years was applied to electronic databases and grey literature sources. Safeguarding policies were excluded. Included policies were critically appraised and synthesised using modified framework analysis.ResultsTwenty-six policies were analysed. Most (57.7%) were from the USA. Ten (38.5%) focused solely on concussion. Synthesis identified primary, secondary and tertiary injury prevention measures relating to people (staff, students and parents), systems, school physical environment and national-level factors.ConclusionsRobust, evidence-based policies for reducing injury risk in school sports are limited. Guidelines with the largest evidence base were focused on concussion, with other school sport guidelines showing limited inclusion of evidence. Where included, evidence focused on injury management rather than prevention and frequently applied evidence from adult to children. Guidance was not specific to the child’s age, gender or developmental stage.

Sports management programs should provide students with a hands-on and experience education which will provide them with the necessary preparation for real-world sports settings. As such schools’ sports programs should focus on providing students with the training they needed. The study investigated the implementation of the school-based sports management programs of private higher education institutions in the Province of Batangas. A cross-sectional survey of data collection was used to gather the data on 104 PE teachers and 30 sports coordinators. Implementation of the program was assessed in terms of objectives, administrative support, resources, activities and monitoring and evaluation, while the participation of the coordinators was assessed relative to collaboration, mechanisms, and decisionmaking. Alongside that, the issues and challenges of managing the program were also assessed. The study's findings revealed that sports coordinators' implementation and participation were highly visible. Respondents strongly agreed that there were issues and challenges in managing the program. The results also confirmed that the assessments of the sports coordinators and the PE teachers in terms of implementation and participation of the sports coordinators in managing the school-based sports management program were not significantly different. A prototype sports management program was designed by the researcher for private higher education institutions in the Province of Batangas.Physical education, Physical activity, School based, Commission on Higher Education, Sport coordinator, World Health Organization, Prototype College of Teacher Education, Progressive relaxation training, Implementation, Participation, Philippines, Management program, Sports coordinators, Decision making, Foundational premises, Sports program, Pe teacher, Administrative support, Private high education institution, Sport management program, Physical Education and Sport, Sport Value Framework”.

The aim of this study was to determine which sports are most popular among pupils of primary school in Serbia, in order to determine which sports would be advisable to introduce in the classes of physical education to increase the level of interest of pupils to actively participate in PE. The sample included 8120 students, of which 30% are actively involved in sports, 28 % drop out and 42% had never engaged in sports. Most students would like to introduce as an optional sport basketball, swimming, volleyball, football, handball, karate and at least students would like to introduce acrobatics, orienteering, rhythmic gymnastics. Obtained were statistically significant differences according to gender (boys would like to be introduced basketball and football and girls would like volleyball and swimming), success (excellent pupils would most like to be introduced swimming and volleyball; pupils with very good, good and enough success prefered basketball) and sport (pupils involved in sports and those who retreated would like to be introduced basketball and swimming and those who have never been involved in sports would like volleyball and basketball). The results indicated that for the students of primary schools in Serbia basketball the most popular sport and that on promotion of other sports in the school environment should still be done. Key words: elective course, sport, primary school.

In the rapid development of the country and schools, physical education and health programs have gradually become an essential part of schools in order to improve students’ core physical education skills and literacy, and have a very important role and impact on students’ physical and mental health development. The school P&H program not only conveys to teachers and students the knowledge and training skills to improve school sports and enhance physical fitness but also fully develops the awareness and ability of teachers and students to work hard and collaborate with each other. This paper examines and analyzes the problems and dilemmas associated with the pursuit of health and sport-specific intensity in school sports and combines theories of health and exercise, physical education, training, and moral education through literature review, logical analysis, and value analysis. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the different logics and orientations of specific sport intensity regulations, school sport health pursuits, and school sport teaching and to clarify and correct related issues, so as to provide theoretical and practical support for school sport to better implement the concept of “health first” and further promote school sport reform and sound development. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between exercise and health in physical education programs of teachers and schools from the perspective of natural dialectics and find out some outstanding problems that may exist in them, so as to effectively promote the development of students’ physical and mental health.

In 2003, the Swedish government made a “handshake” (Handslaget) with the The Swedish Sports Confederation, offering one billion Swedish crowns over a period of four years to local sport clubs in order to create projects that would engage more children in organised sport. One way of doing this was by way of sport clubs collaborating with schools, so that within the school day pupils would be exposed to club sports – either through club instructors coming to the school or the pupils coming to the club facilities. But what happens when an activity constructed on one social field, in Bourdieu’s sense, and according to the specific conditions of that field, is simply lifted over to another social field? The basic aim of school sport is to enable each individual take the responsibility for his or her body in a lifetime perspective, whereas club sport is based on competition and strives towards selection, ranking and elitism. This article is based on an evaluation of all projects taking place within school hours in Malmö during 2005-2006. In relation to the basic goal, formulated unilaterally by the State and the Sports Confederation, that these projects should lead to the activation of children that are not yet physically active, the article argues that the result may be the opposite: the weakening of both the school subject Physical Education and the normal activity of sport clubs.

Student athletes are expected to succeed simultaneously in school and sports. Research findings mainly come from upper secondary and university students, while research on younger adolescent student athletes has been largely overlooked. Drawing upon rich qualitative data derived from individual interviews with student athletes from grade eight (n = 15), teachers (n = 4), principals (n = 2), and nonparticipant observations (n = 7) at five schools, this study examines how young student athletes succeed in school and sports and in combining these two. The data was analysed using collaborative qualitative data analysis to find themes describing these student athletes. The main findings indicated that most student athletes had high ambitions and showed strong orientations in their school approaches. For some student athletes, the student and athlete roles conflicted, and they prioritized sports over educational success. A similar variation in student athletes’ sport commitments was found: from having a goal to become a professional athlete to pursuing sport as a leisure activity. Student athletes in this study were in the beginning of a developmental dual career process, and they needed to be recognized as a heterogeneous group with individual pathways. Finally, the sport school provided more opportunities for practice and a flexibility in school-related issues. The findings indicated the demanding nature of the dual commitment of student athletes in lower secondary sport schools. Consequently, it is difficult to form a consistent picture that fit every context because the student athlete role is individual and to some extent conflicting.

This article endeavours to make a significant contribution to the broadening of local school athletics history in Cape Town. By focusing on certain historical documents, the article explores the state and scope of athletics in black schools in Cape Town prior to 1956, a largely under-researched field in South African sport history. It does so by identifying prominent administrators, outstanding athletes, and participating schools. Many of these histories have disappeared or have been erased from public consciousness. The article shows how organised school athletics in Cape Town's oppressed communities have been shaped by a myriad of teachers, politicians, and sport administrators of varying political and social backgrounds. It also provides details of the Trafalgar High School's Wiener's Day competitions. Next, a history of the Central School Sports Union and its offshoots is unpacked. Finally, the early years of the Western Province School Sports Board are overviewed. The article concludes by suggesting why it is important to reclaim this particular history.

Sports have great importance on establishing either good interpersonal or intersocietal relations on acquiring good habits for the adults who will assume responsibility in the future. Making negative contributions or not making any contributions to sports development identify the limits of the success status of the students in the future. The important institutions to provide sport success are family and school. It is identified that the level of education and income and being athletes in the family is effective to do sport and especially the interest of the family effects the attitude of the kid on sport. Also, the lack of sport equipment and facilities suspend students from sport and school exhibiting positive attitude increased the interest of the student. The subjects of this study are 9th, 10th and 11th grade students of Sport High School of Sakarya. The questionnaire used as the data collection in this study consists of 19 questions.

Abstract Context: More than 1.6 million sport-related concussions occur every year in the United States, affecting greater than 5% of all high school athletes who participate in contact sports. As more females participate in sports, understanding possible differences in concussion symptoms between sexes becomes more important. Objective: To compare symptoms, symptom resolution time, and time to return to sport between males and females with sport-related concussions. Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Setting: Data were collected from 100 high schools via High School RIO (Reporting Information Online). Patients or Other Participants: Athletes from participating schools who sustained concussions while involved in interscholastic sports practice or competition in 9 sports (boys' football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, and baseball and girls' soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball) during the 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 school years. A total of 812 sport concussions were reported (610 males, 202 females). Main Outcome Measure(s): Reported symptoms, symptom resolution time, and return-to-play time. Results: No difference was found between the number of symptoms reported (P = .30). However, a difference was seen in the types of symptoms reported. In year 1, males reported amnesia (exact P = .03) and confusion/disorientation (exact P = .04) more frequently than did females. In year 2, males reported more amnesia (exact P = .002) and confusion/disorientation (exact P = .002) than did females, whereas females reported more drowsiness (exact P = .02) and sensitivity to noise (exact P = .002) than did males. No differences were observed for symptom resolution time (P = .40) or return-to-play time (P = .43) between sexes. Conclusions: The types of symptoms reported differed between sexes after sport-related concussion, but symptom resolution time and return-to-play timelines were similar.

At present, the overalllevel of health deviation of children in Russia is annuallyincreasing by 7%. Because of modern lifestyle, most adults have weak motivation for physical activity andlow perceptions about healthy lifestyle as well as the sport.Implementing this policy, the State allocates substantial funding for the development of children’sand youth sport. Interests of the state are the following: efficient use of physical culture and sports to bringup patriotism of citizens, to prepare them for the protection of the country and serve in the army, healthpromotion, maintaining high availability and competitiveness of able-bodied persons in the labor market.The state is interested in the efficient development of sports and recreational clubs that make up such animportant segment of the sports industry as a recreational sport, as provision of sports and recreationalservices to the population affects the formation of healthy lifestyle, improvement in public health and thequality of human resources of the national economy.Holding in Russia Sochi Olympic Games-2014 significantly affected the increase of winter sportpopularity, the interest increased by 60 percent. Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko has said that it is stillnot enough for such a big country as Russia.The problem of further improving athletic training is not merely a search for new methods of trainingand selection, but most of all, a broad involvement of children to sports with further sports orientation.The object of studyis children’s and youth sports in the city of Sochi.The purpose of the studyis to determine the level of realization of state programs for thedevelopment of children’s and youth sport in the city of Sochi.Research methods and organization:1 Analysis and synthesis of data from literature and Internet resources;2 The method of mathematical statistics, processing the study results.Conclusions and suggestions.The most important link in the development of youth sport and itsbasement in the education system have always been and still remain youth sport schools which has trainedmany champions of Russia, Europe, World and Olympic Games. In connection with the preparation andholding of Sochi Olympic Games-2014 there was a significant increase in children’s and youth sport schools.Today 24 children’s sports schools are already active in Sochi.Further development of youth sport cannot go on the only way of increasing the number of sportsschools.

Sports insurance originates in the nature of sports-high risk, and its basic position in the sports industry is determined by its particularity. However, sports insurance in China is only limited to high-risk competitive sports. School sports insurance is still in the development stage. The self-construction of sports insurance and insurance codes are imperfect with few sectors. What’s more, because of weak insurance consciousness of schools and students, unavoidable sports accidents take great pressure to the school, family and the student, which make an impact on the normal operation of schools. Thus it is necessary and urgent to build up and perfect school sports insurance.

Males have been the dominant focus of sports participation in America since the 19th century. Serious examination of women’s participation in sports did not begin to receive substantial treatment until the early 1970s, when social and legal forces led to the enactment of Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The purpose of the present study is to address the question of whether Black and White women have benefited equally from Title IX by (a) examining Post–Title IX trends in Black and White females’ sport participation in high school and college, using data from national longitudinal surveys; (b) assessing the effect of race on sport participation opportunities for high school girls based on these data:, and (c) examining legal cases involving Title IX to assess the extent to which legal challenges have improved access to and participation of Black women in sports relative to their White female counterparts. The findings of the current study reveal that this benefit has not been shared equally by White and African American females. High schools attended by African American females do not offer the same range of sports as those available in schools attended by White females.

Doping constitutes one of the main problems in sports. The importance of sociological research on doping is widely accepted. However, such studies in Cyprus are scarce. The purpose of this study was twofold; first, it aimed to examine the knowledge about doping and the attitudes and perceptions towards sports and doping of high-school student athletes in Cyprus; and second, it aimed to explore whether the knowledge about doping and attitudes and perceptions towards sports and doping vary among student athletes with different characteristics (gender, nationality, engagement with team vs. individual sport, and grade level). The participants of this study were 164 high-school student athletes (16.6 ± 0.9 years old) who study in sports high schools in Cyprus, out of whom 106 were males (65.6%) and 57 (34.8%) females. Data were collected through the use of a questionnaire that was anonymously completed by the participants. A quantitative approach was used for analyzing the data. Descriptive statistics were calculated (i.e., mean, SD, and total scores for knowledge), and non-parametric tests (Mann–Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis) were employed, for comparing responses among different athlete groups on their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of doping. The findings reveal that most of the participants lack basic knowledge on doping issues. In terms of their attitudes and perceptions, most of the participants considered doping a serious problem in sports while demonstrating mostly negative attitudes towards doping. Statistically significant differences were found to exist in terms of knowledge among students of different nationalities and high-school grade levels. Also, statistically significant differences were found to exist in terms of attitudes and perceptions towards sports and doping among students of different genders and sport categories (individual vs. team), while differences were also found to exist among students of different nationalities in relation to their attitudes towards sports. The findings have implications for policymaking and educational practices, with the most prevalent need being to design and implement training programs to raise awareness among young athletes about critical features of doping and sports.

Background: Recent researches have shown the importance of extracurricular activities and leisure time in children of school age, especially within today’s society where the increasing labour activity of families makes difficult to spend time with children. In this sense, sport practice has a central role, as it will help to combat sedentary lifestyle produced by digital leisure. Aims: This study aims to determine the extracurricular sports and leisure activities done by a sample of primary school students, analysing its relation to the type of school in which they are enrolled. Design: A descriptive and cross-sectional study of multifactorial and univariate design was conducted. Respondents: A total of 786 students from Primary Education participated in this research. They were selected by using a random cluster sampling. Measurements: This study employed an Ad-hoc questionnaire consisting of 12 items related to extra-curricular sport practice. Analysis: SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analyses by using cross tables, ANOVA or T of Student depending on the nature of the variables. Results: The results showed acceptable measures of sports practiced, high percentages of screen leisure and low measurements of time which is spent in reading and with peers. According to the type of school, it was revealed that the schoolchildren of private schools practiced more sports, mainly in teams. Students in public schools preferred individual sports and spending more time with friends and in digital entertainment. Thus, the relationship between the type of school and non-curricular activities is shown, mainly for reasons of ideology and facilities.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers the role of sports in relations among immigrant and established-resident minority and Anglo students in Garden City, Kansas, High School. Sports activities form the most direct link between the school and community, and many Garden City residents consider sport to be one of the school’s most important functions. Many perceive sports, particularly football, as a catalyst for successful academic school years. However, emphasis on student participation in sport works to alienate those who do not take part. Student participation in established sports and other school activities is encouraged under the pretext that students will more readily establish an identity with the school. Because most immigrant and many other minority students are not involved in established American sports, and do not even attend games, they risk being perceived as unwilling to assimilate on “American” terms, and they are generally given lower status in the school’s social hierarchy.

A policy remains a mere intention if it is not implemented. Non-implementation policy is a serious problem in Nigeria. There is always a wide gap between policy formulation and policy implementation in Nigeria. What is written is not always what is practiced. This paper presents a theoretical review of barriers to effective implementation of sports policies in schools. This paper looked at1989 and 2009 Nigeria Sports Policy as they affect schools’ sports. It observed that the laudable policies have not been effectively implemented because of some government and institutional factors which reduce government policy on sport to a mere paper work. Some impediments to sports and physical education policy implementation in schools in Nigeria were examined. Some of the barriers highlighted in the paper included lack of collaboration between Ministry of sports and Ministry of Education; corruption, treatment of sport as a marginal programme in the school curriculum and many others. The paper recommended adequate funding of schools sports and suggested the need for effective collaboration between Ministries of Education and Sports at Federal and State levels.

AbstractThe study investigated student involvement in sports as part of co-curricular activities in the school and outside, and the effect of parental support upon their child’s participation in sport. The purpose of the study was to investigate in-depth the views of year 11 students from six Australian schools about their parents’ influence on their participation in sport. The schools agreed to allow their students to participate on a voluntary basis. The primary data were gathered from 111 students in the form of written personal statements in response to the researcher’s open-ended guideline questions, based on the humanistic sociological approach of studying respondents’ personal perspectives on a particular phenomenon. The 80% of respondents who claimed to play sport were involved in a total of 23 different sports, with soccer being the most frequently mentioned (29%). The 20% of respondents who did not play sport all attended schools where participation in sport was not compulsory. Parental support for sports participation was evident in 89% of their comments, but only 11% of parents played an active role.

Physical activity is one of the most important means of forming strong health of a child in the conditions of modern school. Currently, after-school sports activities are an integral part of life of the majority of school children. The objective of this study is to assess the state of posture of Moscow primary school children who attend and do not attend various sports clubs after school. The results of the study have shown that the most favorable sports for forming correct posture in children are figure skating, artistic gymnastics, and acrobatics. In these groups, the number of children with incorrect posture is the lowest, at 6.6% and 25%, respectively. Children involved in sambo and judo have disorders in 39.9% of cases. A high total percentage of posture disorders has been identified in groups of children engaged in martial arts, such as karate, aikido, and boxing (64.5%), sport dance (78.8%), and game sports and swimming (83.1% and 83.2%, respectively). The data obtained in the study allow us to talk about useful and harmful physical activities for the posture of primary school children. However, the largest number of children with posture disorders (96.6%) has been recorded in the group of children who do not participate in sports clubs and whose physical activity is limited only to school physical education lessons.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Club sport participation is increasingly common among high school athletes. Sport participation characteristics may vary widely between the high school and club sport settings. However, there have been no large-scale comparisons of sport participation volume between high school and club teams from similar sports. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare the sport participation characteristics of high school and high school–aged club teams. We hypothesized that club team athletes would participate in more months per year and hours per week and would take more overnight trips than high school athletes and that club team coaches would be less likely to track their athletes’ sport volume than high school coaches. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 769 coaches (266 female; 34.6%) from 3 sports (basketball, volleyball, soccer) completed an anonymous online questionnaire regarding their team’s sport volume and their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding sport specialization. Coaches were eligible to participate if they had served as the head or assistant coach of a high school sport team or high school–aged club sport team in the past 12 months. Results: Overall, 64.6% (n = 497) were coaches of a high school team, and 35.4% (n = 272) were coaches of a club team with high school–aged athletes. Club coaches’ teams played more months out of the year and took more overnight trips for competitions than high school coaches’ teams but participated in fewer hours per week of practices or competitions during their season. There were no differences between club and high school coaches in tracking their athletes’ sport volume, with most coaches in both settings reporting that they do not track the amount of time that their athletes participate in other sports. Conclusion: Significant differences in sport participation volume exist between the teams of high school and club coaches.

Full textAbstract:
School sports are beneficial to schools, communities and society as a whole in that they can prevent delinquent behaviours, force commitment to rules, promote social control and teach societal/school values, among others. Deriving these benefits of school sports requires the optimal performance of school sports managers, who teach physical and health education (PHE) as a subject, games masters, house masters, head teachers and seconded school coaches. In this literature review, the JD-R theory was used to explore the literature regarding several potential job demands and job resources within the school sports management environment and how these can be matched for the optimum performance and productivity of school sports managers. It was established that there is a need to identify all possible physical, psychological, social or organizational demands and resources in school sports management to achieve optimal performance in school sports management. The JD-R literature suggests that organizations need to offer employees sufficient job challenges and resources, including feedback, social support, and skill variety, for optimal productivity.

Furthermore, school sport has taken on a more professional and competitive feel, with the possibility of winning cash prizes as well as the live TV coverage of various tournaments it is plausible to believe that the pressure on coaches to win at this level has increased when compared to 10 years back.The intention of this article is not to disparage the South African school sport system but rather to create an understanding of best practice when considering high school athletes. As it has been the authors experience through working with numerous highs school athletes and presenting to various schools and educators on this topic that the current system or lack thereof is possibly not athlete-centered which may be detrimental to their development down the line.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: This study evaluated prior sports participation and training frequency during elementary to high school and their association with acute and overuse injuries in Japanese college students currently majoring in physical education.Methods: This retrospective study included 292 students who completed questionnaires that assessed their type of sport participation (single sport or multiple sports), training frequency (number of days per week), and injury history (acute and overuse) during the elementary, junior high, and high school periods.Results: In total, 47.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 38.2–57.7) of elementary school-aged athletes played multiple sports; this decreased to 22.3% (95% CI: 14.1–30.4) in junior high school and 5.5% (95% CI: 1.0–9.9) in high school. There was a significant difference in the training frequency between those who had overuse injuries and not in elementary (p < 0.05), and junior high school (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that participating in multiple sports through junior high school may lead to improved sports levels (i.e., participation in higher levels of competition). In addition, appropriate management of training frequency may help reduce the incidence of overuse injuries.
