Rationality and Emotion in European Football: How Share Prices React to a New Coach’s Appointment

Author(s): Eric Frère,Martin Svoboda,Alexander Zureck / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The appointment of a new coach is often a turning point for the development of a football club’s game. But apart from the development of its game, the change affects the club’s economic prospects as well. The coach has a position similar to that of a leading manager in “classic” firms. Other studies have intensively investigated reactions in share prices to results of specific games (see, instead of many, Ashton et al. 2011).The relationship between a change in a club’s coach and the reaction of share prices has rarely been investigated.

Author(s): Cristina Romila,Silvia Teodorescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Tactical training is a component of sports training through which technical procedures are highlighted and learned, and their level of improvement is observed during the game. The purpose of the research is to develop and implement a training model for the tactical training of junior III based on small-sided games with variable dimensions of the field using information from the analysis of the tactical content of official games. As a result, in the tactical training of juniors, we implemented means of training and tests organized in the form of training games where we followed the individual and collective tactical actions of the players. The games had different themes and were organized with small numbers of players: 2 against 2, 3 against 3, 4 against 4, 2 against 2 against 2, 3 against 3 against 3, and 4 against 4 against, on playing areas of different sizes. The indicators monitored during tests were also recorded during official matches.

DANGEROUS SPORTS IN PANDEMIC TIMES. ANALISYS FOR CHILDREN’S PUBLIC SPORT UNITS OF ROMANIA

Author(s): Andrei SIMION,Doina Croitoru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In our study, we categorised sports for which there are public sports clubs for children organized in Romania – School Sports Clubs and Classrooms with Sports Programme. These are financed from the state budget and local public administration. Training grounds, auxiliary spaces, materials, and facilities widely differ. With this in mind, we have only considered the dressing room as an interaction space between athletes. We consider that training and competition interactions are different, but in most sports, there is a risk to facilitate virus transmission – including SARS-CoV-2. The list of the 41 sports practised in children’s public sports clubs was compiled. Private clubs were not included in the analysis, even though they had the same risk regarding virus transmission. For each sport, we considered the following dyadic interactions: athlete-athlete and athlete-coach, in both training and competitions, according to the rules of each sport. We also added the interactions between athletes in the dressing rooms and between athletes and match/competition officials (judge, referee etc.). Each interaction was subjectively graded with a number from 1 to 5: 1 = low interaction, at least 5 m distance; 5 = very close interaction, less than 1 m distance. The analysis showed that considering the current COVID-19 pandemic, organized sport is most of the time a dangerous environment for athletes, coaches, and officials, the most dangerous being the team sports. We believe that the current study might be of use in deciding which sports would be safer to “reopen” in the future.

STUDY ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE ROMANIAN WOMEN’S EPEE TEAM AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES

Author(s): Amalia Alexandra TĂTĂRAN,Silvia Teodorescu,Gabriela DINȚICĂ / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This study refers to the evolution of the Romanian Women’s Epee Team at the Olympic Games in terms of performance, but especially from the perspective of making up the team and establishing the strategy for addressing each goal-focused competition. The literature review reveals that one of the ways to increase both the quality of the training process in fencing and the success rate in team events lies in the team composition, but also in establishing the sequence of athletes competing in a match. Research purpose: The study aims to highlight the dynamics of the Romanian Women’s Epee Team through both a detailed analysis of the results achieved by athletes in their fight against various opponents and their comparison at different times of the matches. Methods: Bibliographic study, comparison, abstraction, induction and deduction methods, video analysis, mathematical and statistical methods. Results and conclusion: The sequence of athletes’ performance in team competitions and their effectiveness depending on the number of won/lost bouts, but also successful hits and recovery times were analysed based on the competition protocols for the Rio de Janeiro and London Olympics, and the performance of the Romanian Women’s Epee Team was compared with the performance achieved by other competing teams. The study has shown that, in today’s modern fencing (particularly the Epee), one of the most important factors for achieving performance in the team event refers to making up the team so that it can work as a whole in relation to the opposing team’s composition.

Recently, there has been a strong effort regarding all sports organizations in order to reduce the universality and frequency of doping in sport. However, the efficacy of current strategies to fight against doping might be improved by using anti-doping polices adjusted to the features of doping in each sport. Contemporary sports activity is regarded as a complex phenomenon that involves both physical components, as well as a variety of medical, legal or economic aspects. In recent times, sport worldwide is marked by severe discussions on doping and its effects. In this context, athletes and team members must know the facts that may empower violations of anti-doping legislation and regulations on the doping control procedure. The acquisition of these legal and medical rules will motivate the development of sports, with the effect of preventing risks represented by the doping phenomenon.

EFFICIENT LEADERSHIP IN SPORTS VOLUNTEERING

Author(s): Laurenţiu Bocioacă,Aurel MARIN / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Sports volunteering becomes increasingly important as different non-governmental organisations are getting more and more involved in organising and conducting numerous sports activities through partnerships and collaboration contracts with various sports structures. Volunteers fulfil formal functions in sports organisations at different management levels and thus become responsible for empowering collaborators with the delegation of tasks necessary to establish and achieve the objectives of a sports activity. The extension of leadership abilities specific to volunteer managers will largely determine the efficiency and completion of activities carried out by managerially subordinate volunteers. Several studies conducted over a century have tried to answer the question: what is the best leadership and what does an efficient manager do? Studies show that this problem cannot be solved by definitive truths or generally valid rules for maximum leadership efficiency. However, most authors and studies demonstrate a thorough knowledge of this topic, which is much superior to its recognition to the general sports public. The purpose of this research is to establish the prospective directions of efficient leadership in sports volunteering, to analyse leadership actions and to process data related to effectiveness in sports volunteering at different management levels in volunteer organisations. The research presents various management methods and techniques applied to increase the efficiency of voluntary sports activities. The main conclusions and directions of strategic action in the efficient leadership of sports volunteers are presented, as well as the importance of achieving the proposed goals, the effect of increasing responsibility and the role of efficient sports leadership.

The Prevalence and Differences in the Physical Activity Level in Preschool-Aged Children

Author(s): Sara Jakšić,Vilko Petrić,Vesna Štemberger,Iva Blažević / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

For a longer period of time there has been a diminution in the level of physical activity in the world, which means that each new generation has a lower level of physical activity than the former generation, while results obtained for children are especially worrisome. The level of physical activity is significantly linked to health and has become one of the greatest challenges for scientists throughout the world. The aim of this research was to determine the level of preschool-aged children's physical activity and define if there was a statistically significant difference according to sex. The sample of examinees consisted of 98 children (50 boys and 48 girls) aged 2 to 7 and attending kindergartens in the city of Rijeka, Croatia. The children's physical activity was evaluated by the standardized questionnaire Health Behaviour for Children filled in by their parents. The percentages of children belonging to a certain category of physical activity level were calculated, and the significance of differences was analysed by the Chi-square test. The research results indicate that somewhat more than 55% of examinees are active one hour per week, 30% of them are active two to three hours a week, while only 13% of them are active four to six hours a week. The results also show that boys are statistically more significantly (p=0.01) active than girls. This research has shown that even at the preschool age there is a serious problem of insufficient physical activity which calls for intervention programmes. It is clear that contemporary kinesiology in the educational system should be more directed toward health and that movement should not only be a trend, but a way of life, i.e. the way a certain kindergarten functions.

Author(s): Sevdalina Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

In this article we analyze the implemented policies in the field of sports in Bulgaria for the achievement of a healthy society according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The potential of sport to contribute to sustainable development is strongly and clearly stated in the new UN Agenda "Transforming the World". The UN recognized sport as a vital driver and facilitator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and introduced a new set of goals to guide global health development. The vast majority of our nation has no habits of systematic motor activity. Mass sport in our country has not become a powerful factor for disease prevention, health promotion and social integration of disadvantaged people, as well as representatives of different ethnic groups.

Author(s): Emil Řepka,Lenka Glückseligová / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

An analysis of the younger school-age children lifestyle requires getting facts about their real behavior in the environment where they live. The aim of the study was to find out how children in small rural schools follow the rules of healthy lifestyle in everyday life. The research was attended by 78 pupils attending a small rural school. Their average age was 9.9 years. Of the total number, there were 41 boys and 37 girls. Schools were located in municipalities with less than 2000 inhabitants. Questionnaires of the daily regime of pupils (Řehulka, E., 1987) were used to determine the rate of sleep, the feeling of fatigue and the balance between work and rest. To register the weekly motion activity was used the YAMAX pedometer. Children fulfill the recommended sleep amount for their age. We did not find the difference between the sexes in the feeling of fatigue. Differences in work and rest balance between boys and girls are negligible. Children comply with the recommended PA standard by taking steps. At weekends, their physical activity is higher.

PREPORUKE O MINIMALNOM TRAJANJU STRUKTURIRANE KRETNE AKTIVNOSTI NEOPHODNE ZA OČUVANJE I UNAPRIJEĐENJE ZDRAVLJA

Author(s): Anida Kapo,Faris Rašidagić,Amira Baždarević-Rašidagić,Nermin Nurković / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

This paper discusses the impact of physical exercise on overall health. Physical or kinesiological activity is part of general upbringing and education, but still a large number of people are not aware of its importance. It is needed by both adults and children to strengthen, build coordination, self-confidence or lead a healthy life in general. Thanks to physical activity, bone-connective, neuromuscular and other organic systems are developed and maintained, so it is necessary to "dose" various forms of kinesiological activity in the right way. Inadequate determination of physical activity could, instead of positive ones, cause negative consequences for the organism. Civilizational "benefits" have resulted in hypokinesia, overweight, or nervous tension that is not conducive to either developing or maintaining the health of the population. In order to overcome the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle, it is necessary to develop the habit of physical exercise, otherwise, as aresult of physical inactivity, even more chronic non-communicable diseases will occur, which are already the main cause of health problems in the developed world.
