An Introduction to Drugs in Sport
When we started work on this book our intention was to produce a revised and updated version of Ivan Waddington’s book, Sport, Health and Drugs. That book had been published in 2000 and, given that the world of drugs in sport is a rapidly changing one, it was certainly due for a revision. However in the course of writing this book, it has changed into something rather different. Readers of Sport, Health and Drugs may recall that it was divided into two related, but rather different, sections. The first section consisted of four chapters which examined different aspects of the relationship between sport and health, while the second part...

The Sport Psychologist’s Handbook A Guide for Sport-Specific Performance Enhancement
Over the last few decades sport psychology has undergone sustained development. Various elements may be used to analyse the evolution of this area of knowledge: from an academic perspective, an ever increasing number of training courses, master’s and doctoral programmes related to sport psychology are being offered; the research field has been consolidated and various scientific journals have emerged in this area of study; sport psychology congresses and publications are a frequent occurrence year after year; and sport psychology associations have spread throughout the world, with international and national organisations, etc. Nevertheless, as time goes on, one subject remains unsettled: the applied field....

Body Cultures Essays on Sport Space and Identity
Henning Eichberg’s publications are many and varied: ‘brilliant and prolific’, according to the influential American sports historian, Allen Guttmann (1988, p. 209). His longest (and some would say his most significant) works have been published in German and Danish (Eichberg 1973, 1978, 1988; Eichberg and Jespersen 1985), and it is mainly in the form of articles that his work has appeared in English. Some of these papers are readily accessible; others are scattered in journals and somewhat obscure collections and conference proceedings across a very wide disciplinary spectrum. It is the breadth and hence the relative inaccessibility of this corpus of knowledge, relevant to students in a variety of...

Brand NFL MAKING AND SELLING AMERICA’S FAVORITE SPORT
Before it became a ‘‘brand,’’ the National Football League had an image. In fact, for most of its first half-century, the nfl had a serious image problem. Football in the United States developed over the final third of the nineteenth century as an intercollegiate game, and colleges created the standard against which other forms of football would be measured into the 1950s. The professional version developed haphazardly in midwestern mill towns for two decades before it was organized in 1920 into what became the National Football League, with franchises in places like Akron and Dayton, Ohio; Hammond, Indiana; and Rock Island, Illinois, as well as Chicago and later New...

Philosophy, Risk and Adventure Sports
That there are people in the world who are interested in risk and risk-taking would surprise no-one I venture. That there should be such a thing as the philosophy of sport, and a well-established tradition of scholarship in it, surprises most academics I meet.1 That there might be philosophers, professionally interested in adventure, risk and risk-taking may well, however, raise more than a few eyebrows. Some further words are in order then.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SPORTS IN AMERICA
Sports are pervasive in the United States. Every day images appear on television, through the Internet, on billboards, on the radio, and elsewhere, indicating the impact of sports on the lives of Americans. Sports stars are emulated, revered, and sometimes reviled, but they are always recognized and discussed. This basic pattern of sport and its involvement with Americans has been apparent for at least the past eighty-five years, since the end of World War I and the creation of a more “leisuretime” culture....

body, sport and society in norden essays in cultural history
This book comprises a number of cultural-historical and ethnographic studies of the history of sport in Scandinavia. The studies examine the contribution made by sport to the development of Scandinavian nationalism in the nineteenth century, and analyze the ways in which sport became interwoven with the social life of citizens in the various Scandinavian countries in the twentieth century. The main focus of this volume, therefore, is not on the organizational history of sport, nor is it on society vis-á-vis sport – i.e., sport as a reflection of a certain societal constellation. Rather, what is of interest is sport in society, and...

A Step-by-Step Guide to SPSS for Sport and Exercise Studies
In the area of sport and exercise students and researchers often face important questions. For example, in sport psychology, a student may be interested in examining whether the pre-competitive anxiety levels of a group of athletes can be predicted by a number of psychological variables. In exercise physiology, another student may want to examine the degree to which a particular training programme has improved the aerobic capacity of a group of runners. In biomechanics, one may be interested to look at differences in the take-off velocity in the long jump between elite and non-elite athletes. In motor control and learning, a student may find it exciting to investigate...

Sách The Sports Medicine Resource Manual
When we sat down to design ‘‘the one sports medicine textbook’’ for graduating family medicine residents and all sports fellows, we really did not imagine creating something 650 pages long. Sports medicine seemed a relatively simple thing, just muscles and bones and people hurting themselves. But as we tried to compile a single text describing the philosophy, examinations, treatments, procedures, and special considerations inherent in our daily practice, we soon gained a firsthand appreciation for how big the field is and how long it takes to walk across it....

To the Extreme ALTERNATIVE SPORTS, INSIDE AND OUT
Sports labeled “alternative,” “extreme,” “X,” “gravity,” “lifestyle,” and “adventure” proliferate postcontemporary transnational times. Motifs associated with these sports are ubiquitous in everyday life— they decorate our backyards, street wear, language, lunch boxes, the Worldwide Web, MTV, ESPN, and advertising of every sort. In the summer of 1999, the US Postal Service issued 150 million stamps featuring extreme sports, and today over 10,000 Internet sites in English are dedicated to extreme sports....

Sport and Physical Education in China
Prior to 1970, texts concerned with comparative and international issues and dimensions were relatively rare. A few American commentators devoted some attention to developments in sport in the then Soviet Union and also produced, through assembled descriptive accounts, information on health, physical education and recreation in a number of countries around the world. After 1970, there was an increasing interest in international aspects of physical education, testimony to which was the plethora of descriptive articles contributed to professional journals by American physical educators. In the main, these articles represented information derived from observational educational or ‘touristic’ visits to be shared with colleagues. Generally, they were not seen to qualify as...

NUTRITION IN SPORT: VOLUME VII OF THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF SPORTS MEDICINE AN IOC MEDICAL COMMISSION PUBLICATION
At an international Consensus Conference held in 1991 at the offices of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, a small group of experts conducted a comprehensive review of the available information and concluded that ‘Diet significantly influences athletic performance’. This statement is unequivocal: what we eat and drink, how much we consume and when it is consumed can all have positive or negative effects on performance in training and in competition. For the athlete striving to succeed at the highest level and training to the limits of what can be tolerated, this offers an avenue that cannot be ignored....

Sport, Technology and the Body
In 1995, Zoe Warwick committed suicide. A dedicated bodybuilder and former European champion, a career of abusing steroids had culminated in the disintegration of her once flawless body. The medications pumped into her to keep her alive could not prevent system after system from shutting down, and, unable to cope with the pain, she took her own life. In 1988, Ben Johnson was celebrated as the fastest human being to propel his body down a one hundred-metre track. He then became the most infamous drug cheat in the history of modern sport, testing positive to stanozolol. In 2000, after trialling a ‘fastskin’ for Adidas, Ian Thorpe announced to...

Shooting Action Sports
What is the difference between a camera operator and a cameraman? In 2006, I found myself working on a TV show for Intuitive Entertainment with cinematographer I-Li Chen. He was the fi rst person I had ever encountered who could not only sum up the difference but also the importance of this difference. His explanation was as follows: “Camera operators shoot what they’re told, when they’re told; they are more or less a tool with little or no creative input. Cameramen are a bit of a director as well. They are always watching and listening to everything that is happening. They are looking for moments, feeling the energy in...

Everyday Masculinities and Extreme Sport
Sport is, indeed, not the source for all such ‘mischief’, although it is one vital source. However, in thinking about how we might conceive of sporting masculinities in different ways we open up both masculinity and sport to new questions and areas for research. Specifically, this empirical study of the extreme sport of rock climbing in the UK investigates male identities by considering the routine and extraordinary practices and relations in a sporting culture. Furthermore, the wider context for sporting participation, defined as the everyday cultures and experiences outside of the sporting sphere, is also viewed as fruitful and necessary to explore. In this way, any potential shifts...

CAROLINA BASKETBALL
I’ve always believed that college basketball is about the players, so to me, 100 years of Carolina Basketball should celebrate the young men who have worked so hard to represent the University of North Carolina. Without them, we wouldn’t need coaches like me. When I look back at the history of Carolina Basketball, I think first about the players. The way I think about them might surprise you. Our players have given me so many memorable experiences. It’s those interactions on and off the court—even more than the wins or the championships—which I have treasured....

The Golden Age of Amateur Basketball The aau Tournament, 1921–1968
In the last thirty years there has been an explosion of academic interest in American sports. Colleges and universities offer courses in the history, philosophy, sociology, economics, and literature of sports. For twenty years I have taught a sports history class at Metropolitan State College of Denver. As I explored the scholarship of this burgeoning field and became familiar with Denver’s sports history, it struck me that scholars had neglected an important part of the American basketball experience. A quick glance at the shelves of any library devoted to sports will reveal that basketball’s literature is devoted primarily to the professional game, its greatest players, and some of the game’s...

The Book Of Basketball
DURING THE SUMMER of 1973, with Watergate unfolding and Willie Mays redefining the phrase “stick a fork in him,” my father was wavering between a new motorcyle and a single season ticket for the Celtics. The IRS had just given him a significant income tax refund of either $200 (the figure Dad remembers) or $600 (the figure my mother remembers). They both agree on one thing: Mom threatened to leave him if he bought the motorcycle. We were renting a modest apartment in Marlborough, Massachusetts, just twenty-five minutes from Boston, with my father putting himself through Suffolk Law School, teaching at...

Cinderella Ball: A Look Inside Small-College Basketball in West Virginia
For most of the twentieth century, West Virginia was a college basketball hotbed. Its major programs were a success, but perhaps even more successful was the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, composed of fifteen schools that rarely earned headlines but set many records and became an identifiable part of small town culture and a source of state pride. This ethos exists today in small town Kentucky and Indiana but struggles to survive in West Virginia. Part of the reason is the state's population decline since the 1950s. That, author Bob Kuska argues, along with the rise of cable and satellite...

The Britannica Guide to Basketball
Basketball is a truly global game. Invented by a Canadian who lived in the United States, it is one of the most popular spectator sports in Europe and is played extensively in China. People worldwide seem to like the sport for its simplicity; only a flat surface, a hoop, and a ball are required to play. Another attraction is the beauty inherent in basketball. The individuals who engage in the sport at its highest levels display a grace and athleticism that is both unparalleled and often enrapturing....

American Hoops
Over the past eighty years, basketball’s sweeping international growth has come about because of the creativity and acumen of individuals on and off the court. Th e history of the U.S. men’s basketball team at the Olympic Games shows this in striking fashion. Th e U.S. team’s history makes for a dynamic tale as it takes us from Olympic basketball’s humble beginnings as a full - medal sport at the 1936 Games in Berlin, where the tournament took place outdoors in the rain, to Bill Russell’s marvelous play in Melbourne, to the controversial 1972 U.S. versus Soviet Union gold medal matchup in Munich, where the fi nal seconds of...

Why She Plays The World of Women’s Basketball
Listening to howling coyotes and sitting underneath the big sky and millions of stars were things I did often growing up in South Dakota. I remember admiring the works of an awesome Creator, not realizing what plans He had for my life. It was diffi cult for me to comprehend how all those millions of stars were hung. At night after the fl oodlights were turned off on our concrete basketball court and my brother and father had gone in the house, I would routinely stand out there on the darkened basketball court, dreaming. Often I would let my thoughts run wild and imagine hitting game winners, buzzer beaters, circus shots,...

KETTLEBELL TRAINING FOR ATHLETES
Kettlebells have been around for more than a century. They were used extensively by the performing strongmen of the circuses during the late 1800s. Some strength historians will argue that kettlebells have existed for many centuries, dating back to when the Celts made them from stone. Whatever the case may be, kettlebells are making an amazing comeback in the strength and conditioning of athletes as well as in the everyday fi tness programs of people around the world.
