Volleyball is part of the explosion-based sport, fast in a very short time [10]. Vertical jump is extremely important both phases of attack and in the defense [6]. So attack and block 45% of all game action, and in terms of the achievement points, they represent 80% [11].For this, it is important to develop effective training programs that will increase the ability of jumpers to volleyball by coaches. In order to achieve these programs, they need to get information on physical issues in general and volleyball in particular [12].The main goal was to structure a set of exercises and implement them in volleyball training at the juniors level in order to develop the performance indexes of the vertical jump.Hypothesis research is we assume that by introducing a specially designed exercise complex, we can record higher vertical jump indexes at final testing compared to the initial test.The plyometric method was used to develop the vertical jump, and the methods of research were the method of data organization and presentation, the graphic method, the mathematical-statistical method, the classification/ordination method, the comparison/reporting method.The conclusions of the research were that, following the implementation of the vertical jump development program, the working hypothesis was confirmed, is an increase in vertical jump specific parameters.

Human physical activity plays an increasingly important role in scientific interest regarding the way of life of contemporary society and it is a very important factor in policy-making towards improving the level of healthy and active lifestyle, quality oflife and health in general. We live in a time when society, culture and science have become increasingly aware of the great importance of sport not only as a part of mass culture, but broadly understood, for individual and social health and well-being.The indispensable role of physical activity in the course of human life has been permanently scientifically confirmed also in the context of obesity prevention. The development of a sedentary lifestyle is the result of a socialization process leading to lack of physical activity developed in youth and continued into adulthood. At present we face the following apparent tendency in our cultural setting: People are more and more individualized, loosing beneficial impacts of community activities, involved in passive way of life lacking proper level of physical activities and active sports. Some preliminary data of the hit her to progress research of physical activity in the Czech population are presented to describe the specific relation of sport and sedentary society. As to mass sports, the Czech Republic is strongly influenced by the existence of new development of urban structures, including fitness centres, cycle paths, roller skates stadiums, beach volleyball playing fields, golf courses. The interpretation of relevant results regarding the situation of sports and physical activities in the Czech population has been considered in this context.

Nowadays, the volleyball game has become a very dynamic one. Its swiftness is given by the great speed of execution of the technical elements and game procedures. Therefore, the players must have an appropriate level of motor training. This thing, in particular, refers to the senior volleyball players, where the level of physical training is a determining one and it reflects in their performances within national and even international competitions. All of these make up an assessment criterion for the selection of players nationally, where the sportsmen activate both in the European competitions, as well as worldwide ones. The Romanian Federation of Volleyball places at the disposal of the participating teams in the National Championship of Romania several guiding tests, so as to highlight the level of motor training of players in all the training stages, including the competitional ones. In this context, we had the same objective in our research, where we tested the level of the motor training specific for the participating teams in the National Championship of Male Volleyball, while the collected results are to be used in an experimental study, oriented towards increasing the effort capacity of the sportsmen and implicitly, increasing the efficiency in the game of senior volleyball players by applying the “Data Volley” software of statistical assessment.

The present research deals with the importance of using correcting systems in sports training, also tackling some regulations that are sometimes inconsistent with the real potential of the players, or the game requirements for the next level.The paper evinces by means of an experiment the need to introduce 4 corrective systems for optimising the technique used in minivolleyball groups. The regulations on the obligatory 3 hits in the team’s own court raise many training problems both for coaches and young players who, in addition to consolidating technical elements and procedures, also have to work on accuracy as early as the minivolleyball level. The systems used are mechanical, easy to manufacture, are relatively inexpensive, but prove to be very helpful in the young players’ motor learning according to today’s requirements in this sporting field. The idea of conceiving such mechanical systems started from the study of the commonest technical mistakes found in practice. The subjects under study are athletes registered at the Arcada Sports Club Galați, where I work as a coach, who are boys between 7-10 years of age, and improved their executions by means of these technique-correcting systems during the training sessions. The results obtained in the final test allow us to believe that the use of these corrective systems in training may prepare the young players more effectively, making them more capable of facing the new regulations.

Nowadays, the characteristics of the modern handball game impose the part of the young practitioners the possession of a really rich motor-technical stock and the quickly adaptation to the encounter of unforeseen situations during the game in order to efficiently achieve the gaming tasks. The purpose of this study is to determinate the relationships between the coordinating capacities and the technical parameters of the handball players. In this regard, the research was carried out on a group of athletes aged between 13-14 years, within the Handball Sports Club-ART Galati. Athletes have been tested in terms of coordination skills and technical training. To evaluate the influence of the coordinating capabilities on the technique and vice versa, we chose the calculation of the Pearson correlation coefficient r. Based on the results obtained, r has values between 30% and 89% in 20 calculated correlations, which proves the existence of a connection between the two variables. We can say that the development of coordination capacities at this age echelon is a priority factor in learning and strengthening the specific elements and techniques of handball. Thus, it is advisable to use various methodical procedures in the training process that lead to the development of this psychomotor quality. At the same time, in selecting the means of action for the development of coordination capacities, one has to take into account the particularities of the age, the level of training and the training period.

The truth that the physical exercises practiced either independently or systematically has beneficial effects on the whole body has long been demonstrated and supported by empirical or scientific studies. Subsequently, this assertion was also proved in the case of people with intellectual disabilities. For this category of population, the level of learning various motor skills is different from one individual to another. There are periods when the learning is very fast, the pace being close to that of valid individuals. However, these periods alternate with periods of stagnation or even regression. In the learning phase, successful attempts are rare and technically incorrect. Gradually, people with Down syndrome manage to learn the technique specific to a sport discipline and commonly use it according to their needs and the specific circumstances. In this context, the present study aimed to identify how athletes with Down syndrome have learned and enhanced the technique specific to the game of bocce, especially the technique of releasing the ball. For this, we tested 16 athletes with Down syndrome (10 children and 6 adults; 8 girls and 8 boys) who were members of the target group included in the Erasmus+ Sport 590526 project. The methods used to conduct the study were: documentation, experiment, statistics and graphical representation. The test applied to the research subjects, namely the divisioning bocce test, resulted in the recording of higher performances for 10 athletes, while the performances of the other athletes were not statistically significant

In this book, the author continues his research on Spanish football, which is impossible to escape from. Together with the previous one (History, nationalism and identity. The thing about football in Spain, 2020), it forms a kind of football diptych. In this, he focuses on showing how history, politics and the media in the country on the Ebro are intertwined thanks to football, which has turned into a working instrument of the official discourse of power. On the one hand, by referring to the history of Spain, specific political activities and media reports, it shows the importance of politicians, presidents of football associations and clubs and journalists in creating the image of Spanish football, and on the other, how the ubiquitous social media allows those excluded from this discourse or those who are critical of it, undertaking various types of activities and social campaigns aimed at breaking it and blurring it.

Cities play an important role in the development and supporting of sport. One of the means of supporting sport in cities is the title European city of sport, which is awarded annually to cities by the organization ACES Europe on the basis of established criteria. The aim of the paper was to identify the positive and negative connections associated with the title European city of sport by proposing SWOT analysis and the TOWS matrix and suggesting ways of using it for cities applying for this title. The work brings a shift in the knowledge of the issue of the title European city of sport and the positive and negative connections arising from it. The research assumption is original and has not been dealt with in detail in the theoretical or practical issues. By gaining the title European city of sport, city should acquire know-how from ACES Europe on how to increase city sport support and get feedback on the current city sport level. The results of the survey show that ACES Europe has the insufficient methodology for evaluating cities and recommendations for increasing the supply of sports in cities. Ultimately, they are cities that need to be active in using the title of European city of sport and its prestige to improve sport in city.

The present collective volume is under the aegis of the Cross-Border Faculty of the 'Dunarea de Jos' University of Galati, Romania. Founded in the spirit of cross- border cooperation and with more than twenty-year experience and tradition in both cross-border teaching and research, the Cross-Border Faculty has managed to build a multi-, trans-, and interdisciplinary academic community determined to facilitate a continuous scientific dialogue towards sharing and creating new perspectives in various fields such as education, arts and humanities and even engineering. The constant evolution of this cross-border endeavour has been concretized, in recent years, into large academic interdisciplinary events which have enabled the scientific dialogue not only between peers of the same academic field, but, also, they have permitted the collaboration and forming of new inter- and multidisciplinary teams oriented towards the advance of the higher education process, the flourishing of the business environment and the altogether improvement of society in general. Thus, Cross-Border research – interdisciplinary insights and borderless perspectives is an umbrella volume envisioned to bring together authors and topics that tackle issues such as consumers and consumerism, agriculture and food industry, administration, justice and law enforcement, finance, communication and education, and language and literature, not in a completely disconnected manner, but rather in an effort to provide a complex, diverse and useful research tool.
