Full textAbstract:
Background and Study Aim. The inclusion of beach volleyball in the program of the Olympic Games gave some impetus to the development of scientific research on various problems of training athletes. Most of the research results are presented in journals included in the Web of Science Core Collection. However, the publication of research results in journals from national databases remains outside the scope of this database. The aim of this study is to systematically review the scientific literature on various beach volleyball issues in Russian-language scientific resources.
Material and Methods. The sources of information were the authoritative database Web of Science Core Collection, Russian Science Citation Index, Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.RU (Russia), National Repositary of Academic Texts (Ukraine). Data extraction from these databases was carried out using the keywords “volleyball” / “beach”. A total of 1,875 documents were found for the keyword “volleyball”. Of these, the keyword “beach” - 273 documents. Further analysis was carried out on 273 documents. The search query results were recorded in the form of tables and a special text file, which were processed in the VOSviewer 1.6.17 program.
Results. The most significant and more popular subject categories, journals, authors, articles, keywords have been identified. The relationship between keywords and individual groups of publications has been established. A method for extracting data from the Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.RU in a semiautomatic mode is presented. The trends in the development of beach volleyball in various aspects of the training of elite athletes and the sports reserve, the health-improving function of beach volleyball for youth are shown.
Conclusions. Differences in the content of research between Russian-language and English-language resources are a good complement to each other. This fact may contribute to solving the problems of beach volleyball and international cooperation of researchers.

BackgroundLittle is known about athletes’ understanding of safe sport and occurrence of harassment and abuse in elite youth sport.ObjectiveTo evaluate the IOC Safe Sport educational experience at the Youth Olympic Games 2018 in Buenos Aires and to ascertain the athletes’ (1) understanding of what constitutes harassment and abuse, (2) perception of the occurrence in their sport, and (3) knowledge of where to report.MethodsAthletes visiting the IOC Safe Sport Booth answered a survey related to athletes’ (1) understanding of harassment and abuse in sport, (2) perception of the occurrence of harassment and abuse in their sport, and (3) knowledge of where to report. Experts and volunteers answered an email survey on their experience.ResultsThe response rate was 71.8%. When asked to define ‘safe sport’, the athletes mainly relate the concept to general physical and environmental safety, fair play and clean sport, rather than sport free from harassment and abuse. Almost half (46%) of the athletes expressed surprise by the definition of behaviours of harassment and abuse within sport. When asked if harassment and/or abuse occur in their sport, 47.5% reported ‘no’ or ‘not likely’, while 34% stated ‘likely’ or ‘very likely’; 19% were ‘unsure’. The majority (63%) of athletes knew where to seek help. Three quarters (71%) of the athletes rated the educational materials as ‘good’ to ‘excellent’. The experts and volunteers believed the intervention would result in change in athletes’ awareness, knowledge and behaviour.ConclusionsThis multinational cohort of elite youth athletes is not knowledgeable of the concept of harassment and abuse in sport, despite there being a significant perception of occurrence of harassment and abuse in their sports.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability is now fully integrated into the entire life cycle of the Olympic Games. The planning, preparation, and staging of the Winter Olympics have opportunities to create a sustainable legacy for the host cities for decades. The tangible and/or intangible impacts of the Winter Olympics on the host city are multidimensional, including economic, social, and environmental aspects. However, there are still few studies on the multidimensional impact of the Winter Olympics on the sustainable development of the host city. This paper aims to investigate the effects of the 2022 Winter Olympics on host city sustainability from public perspective. Using a survey of 806 host residents in Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the authors performed descriptive statistics and regression analysis to analyze the effects of the Winter Olympic Games on the city’s sustainable development. The Winter Olympic Games are divided into three stages, including the pre-game phase, in-game phase, and post-game phase, and the impacts cover three dimensions, including economic, social, and environmental aspects. The results show that the 2022 Winter Olympics integrate sustainability into the whole process of the Winter Olympics; the Winter Olympics have an important catalytic effect on the host city’s sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
By means of an empirical survey, this article analyzes the decision-making process of the members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in order to establish how they evaluated the bids to host the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Three bid-winning models were identified. These consisted of offers from a total of seven bid-winning subjects: the Olympic village for accommodating the athletes, transportation facilities for all the visitors to the Games, the sports arenas, the finances of the Games, telecommunications, information technology, and the media center. Offers, which had little or nothing to do with the Olympic Winter Games, were on average graded “important” by the majority of the IOC members. However, offers that referred to the performance of the Games were considered, on average, more important than other offers. The individual IOC members did not share the interest of the IOC in bids offering cultural events, environmental care (opening, closing, and prize) ceremonies, a youth camp for young athletes, and accommodation for all the athletes in a single Olympic village. No bid messenger was considered “very influential” by a majority of the IOC members in their bid choices. “The visits of the IOC members to the bid cities” was the only channel for communicating bid offers that was perceived as “very influential” by a majority of the IOC members. Every fourth IOC member stated that it was not important to their bid selection that the bidders followed IOC's bidding rules. Fifteen bid offers (17%) were evaluated differently by the IOC members due to their cultural and demographic differences.

Full textAbstract:
The International Olympic Committee, as the main sports organization in the world, has several criteria for handing over the Olympic Games to the host city. One of the most critical concerns in hosting sports events is paying attention to environmental aspects and sustainable development. In fact, the applicant cities must have practical environmental goals and action plans. Basically, the host cities have made significant initiatives to improve the environment in previous Olympic Games, but according to the data and studies, this major sporting event has also had detrimental consequences on the environment. Given the importance of sustainable development and environmental protection, this study examines the negative impacts of mega-sporting events on the environment. Therefore data were collected from qualitative interviews, library studies, and previous research. Fifteen experts in the sports and environment field were selected as a sample by snowball distribution method and the interview steps were performed until the theoretical saturation was reached (20-40 min in 3 sessions). After summarizing and analyzing the data, it was found that the negative environmental externalities mainly occur in the Infrastructure and construction, Transportation, and Waste management domains. Emphasizing the findings, the result of this research can be used to identify key local environmental concerns, and pressure points and provide part of the solution for organizers seeking to use their time and resources as efficiently as possible in achieving environmental goals. Keywords: environmental factors, sustainable development, sport management, mega-sporting events, Olympic Games

Full textAbstract:
The performances of Ukrainian athletes at the XXXII Olympic Games have been considered and analyzed. The analysis of studies aimed at investigating the problem of their preparation improvement has been performed. It is shown that the results demonstrated by the national team of Ukraine at the XXXII Olympic Games are presentable for the conditions in which Ukraine now lives. It is noted that today the system of development of the Olympic sports events in Ukraine is not optimal. There is an apparent shortage of modern training centers, inefficient budgetary and extrabudgetary funding, imperfection of statutory and regulatory, and organizational and managerial, scientific and methodological, medical, informational, and staffing support. Therefore, the strategy for the development of the Olympic sports events in the modern conditions of development of Ukraine necessitates the formation and scientific substantiation of conceptual bases for the successful dynamic development of the Olympic sports events. To assess the current state of functioning and development of the Olympic sports events, a PEST- analysis was conducted on fencing material. It is established that in the group of politico-legal factors the most significant is legislative support for the development of sports events in Ukraine; in the group of economic factors - financing and logistics of sports schools; in the social group - the level of coaching and teaching staff and working conditions in sports schools; in the group of technological factors - innovative technologies and their impact on fencing development. The results of the study indicate that fencing development is hampered by several macro-environmental factors and conditions that require certain reforms. As our study shows, the process of functioning and development of the Olympic sports events in modern conditions requires the formation of brand new economic foundations and the search for new organizational and legal forms of their functioning. In our opinion, this is a transition from the extensive model of sports event development, which is used in Ukraine today, to an innovative one. Thus, to ensure further capturing award-winning places at the Olympic Games, a model of innovative development of the Olympic sports events based on a strategic partnership between the state, public sports organizations, science, education, and business should be developed.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis is written in collaboration with Lillehammer Youth Olympic Games Organising committee (LYOGOC) and their desire to create an environmental strategy for the upcoming Youth Olympic Games (YOG) at Lillehammer in 2016. The thesis focuses on the environmental aspects connected to a youth Olympic game and how to control and handle these in a responsible manner. It was therefore chosen to develop a design for an environmental management system, which is coordinated and combined with an environmental accounting system.The Olympics are regarded as one of the world?s most prestigious sporting events, with history linked back to the ancient Greek society. The modern Olympic debut, with summer disciplines, where held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The winter games were established twenty-eight years later in 1924, with Chamonix as the first host. The exaggerating development of the Olympic games might have given thoughts of wanting to bring back the true spirit, Olympism and Olympic values. IOC made an effort to get in touch with the old values, which resulted in the concept and establishment of YOG. The vision of YOG builds upon the thought of inspiring young people around the world to participate in sport, and adopt and live by the Olympic values. The event was created to educate, engage and influence young athletes in order to inspire them to play an active role in their communities.The YOG concept is built upon the thought of using former facilities, to set the focus on the third pillar of the Olympic games, the environment. The concept reduces the total environmental impacts of the events and a possibility to educate, develop and form the next generation. This means that the most significant environmental aspects occur during the staging of the event. The thesis intends to visualise a systemic picture of the environmental aspects of the YOG, pointing the attention on procurement, accommodation, venues, transportation, waste management and recycling.The analysis of environmental aspects was performed after creating a systemic picture of the event and interviews with key informants at each site. The analysis gives thereafter a basic in the development of the environmental management system and the environmental accounting system.The environmental management system will be based on the ideas of ISO 14001, ISO 20121 and EMAS. The system uses the high level structure of ISO 14001, with the procedures and measurements reflecting the systemic picture of YOG with the five main focus areas. Each sub element has its own procedures and measurements to control the environmental outcome of the games.The venues and accommodations will be rented in the event period, so it will be harder to affect the total environmental impact, because the willingness to improve environmental performance lies in the hands of the owners, and optional venues are not available. The thesis therefore stresses the importance of extra focus and environmental awareness on procurement, transportation, recycling and communication to increase environmental performance.

Full textAbstract:
In the conditions of anthropogenic pressure on the environment and aggravation of environmental problems, a need to rethink and review the content of professional training of preschool education specialists arises. Being participants in the educational process, teachers are leading generators of environmental literacy among the youth. Therefore, the issue of environmental competence formation as a necessary component of professional training of preschool education specialists is relevant and requires further coverage. In the curriculum for BA students of 012 «Preschool education» Programme Subject Area at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, academic discipline Fundamentals of Natural Science and Methodology of introducing children to nature is a compulsory course. The discipline aims to develop environmental competence which is an integral component of professional training of preschool education specialists, who are to be competitive in the labour market, work on self-improvement and have a nature-centred worldview. We suggest the following ways of environmental competence development: to develop a system of integrated knowledge about nature based on the scientific worldview, learning, cognitive and environmental activity; to develop skills and abilities to use pedagogically appropriate means, methods and forms of organizing nature-learning activities with preschoolers; to develop creativity and ability to apply it together with scientific, pedagogical and psychological knowledge while familiarizing children with nature; to develop a socially active individual who cares about the environment and carefully uses natural resources. To this end, within the given academic discipline, we use the following innovative training techniques: problem-based learning, research work, interactive learning methods (fishbone diagram, cluster analysis, brainstorming), games, modelling, projects etc. It is advisable to form professional environmental competence through environmentalization of the learning process in higher education institutions. For this purpose, we suggest including the discipline Education for Sustainable Development to the curriculum of 012 «Preschool education» students. Such discipline is to contribute to the systematic generalization of environmental and pedagogical experience and to form the ability to professionally apply theoretical knowledge in the educational process while fostering an attitude of care towards nature and environmental lifestyle among preschoolers. Training of preschool education specialists is practically oriented and thus implemented through teaching practice and apprenticeships. It is practical training that continues to form the environmental competence of future preschool education specialists through the consolidation of certain moral principles and views, as well as the feeling of responsibility for one’s actions. Here, it is important to involve students in the organization of environmental events of different kinds: workshops, excursions etc. We believe that the solution of key education development issues and creating appropriate conditions for providing high-quality educational services should be based on cooperation between higher education institutions and pre-school education institutions. To this end, it is necessary to make regular updates to the curricula, taking into account current problems and providing for introducing natural science component and innovative educational techniques to the process of professional training of preschool education specialists. After all, highquality education is a necessary condition for preserving the environment and ensuring sustainable development of the society.
