Author(s): Dariusz Mucha,Teresa Mucha,Tadeusz Ambroży,Agata Bornikowska,Anna Papierz / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2014

Injuries are much more often incurred by those who practice sports recreationally, which is probably caused by the lack of proper physical fitness and violation of the safety rules, as well as by the fact that mass sports attract much more people. The majority of dangerous, injury-prone situations in skiing are also generated by technical errors, lack of proper coordination, poorly fitted or faulty equipment. Although an accident is defined as a series of causes and circumstances that are difficult to anticipate, a considerable reduction of the number of sports accidents involving the locomotor system while skiing is possible, e.g. by promoting safety rules and analysing accidents that happen on the slopes. The characteristics of skiers' safety and injury rate have been developed by way of analysing skiing accidents that required rescue team interventions. The analysis comprised 90 skiers from the Kasprowy Wierch; 42 women (46%) and 48 men (54%) who were involved in skiing accidents in the 2008-2009 season, on the basis of accident sheets from the 2008-2009 season routinely delivered to the TOPR (Tatra Volunteer Search and Rescue) stations, which were made available to us.

Sport e politica nelle relazioni internazionali dell'Europa centro-orientale

Author(s): Stefan Bielański / Language(s): Italian Issue: 11/2014

Article discusses three basic issues: 1. Relationship between Sport and Politics during “the Cold War”; 2. Sport and Politics in Central and Eastern Europe during the fall of Soviet communism; 3. Sport and Politics in the context of changes in International Relations at the beginning of the XXIst century. During the „Cold War” – what has meant Soviet domination over Central and Eastern Europe – the sport was regarded by the communist regimes as an important factor of politics therefore its role was ambivalent: on the one hand it was a key element of propaganda, on the other one, it became a “niche of freedom” and resistance against totalitarian regimes in Eastern Europe. Ironically, after 1989, sport in this part of Europe has become a “victim” of socio-political transformation, in particular, such statement refers both to the professional sport as well as to the issue of mass sport. The situation has changed as a result of European Union's enlargement in 2004, and emergence of a new market that was ready to perform the tasks related to the organization of major sporting events. In this context – not only socio-economic but also geopolitical one – we should understand why Poland and Ukraine organized UEFA European Football Championship in 2012. It should be also recognized that the sport – as result of activities of organizations such as the IOC, FIFA, UEFA – has reached a significant role in the overall International Relations in Europe and the world.
