THE CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF INJURIES IN HANDBALL

Author(s): Ivana Bojić,Zoran Valdevit,Marina Veličković / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

The aim of this work is to present and analyse the handball literature on the causes of injuries, types of injuries and their anatomic locations, as well as the prevention measurements. Based on the results of the analyzed studies, it can be concluded that there is a significant number of injuries, of different body parts and of different severity in top-level handball players. Overuse injuries (to certain body parts, such as the more dominant shoulder, the ankle and the knee) are considered to be the most prominent. In order to prevent the injuries to the mouth and teeth, the use of mouthguard is recommended. When it comes to the prevention and rehabilitation of shoulder injuries, the research results have shown positive effects that the training aiming at the increase of the inner rotation of the glenohumeral strength, the outer rotation strength and the scapular muscles strength has along with the exercises for improving the kinetic chain and the chest flexibility. The use of elastic bands and the medicine ball has proven efficient in increasing the shoulder area strength, and the whole swing and throw movement. The ankle and the knee are the most frequently injured joints among female handball players. The results of the application of the neuromuscular training, the proprioception and the balance exercises, combined with some specific players’ activities (running, jumping and planting) show that such training process is efficient in the prevention of injuries to ankle and knee joints.

ATLETİK PERFORMANS GENLERİ ve ATLETİK YETENEĞİN BELİRLENMESİNE İLİŞKİN YAKLAŞIMLAR

Author(s): Furkan İLGÜN,Volkan GÜNAY,Selim YILDIRIM,Mesut Cerit / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 48/2020

Genetic testing, which is comes to the fore on the grounds that athletic performance is partially due to genetic factors, offers a way to determine the benefits of genealogy before adapting to adult performance traits to take the talent selection process forward. While some argue that the many years and thousands of hours of training determination and dedicated effort required to produce elite talent are sufficient, hereditary studies and the the backgrounds of athlete families are clear evidence that innate qualities give certain individuals an advantage for athletic performance. Undoubtedly, athletes with a favorable genetic profile who interact with correct training practices are more likely to achieve higher performance levels. What matters is whether genetic screeening techniques can identfy the natural advantage or talent in question as part of talent identification programs. As of today, it is understood that the majority of the skills acquired are due to the combination of both innate inheritance and external environmental factors and lifestyle. Although only 1 out of 10,000 people is doomed to top sports success, the possibility that genetic screeening will identify that person better than current talent identification strategies also seems quite optimistic.

Author(s): Bülent DURAN,Cemal GÜLER,Selçuk Bora ÇAVUŞOĞLU / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 48/2020

The aim of this study is to examine the leisure management and life satisfaction levels of tennis players in terms of different variables. While the universe of the research is composed of tennis players, the sample group consists of 459 tennis athletes determined on the basis of voluntary participation. In addition to the personal information form as a data collection tool, the "Leisure Management Scale" developed by Wang et al. (2011), adapted to Turkish by Akgul and Karakucuk (2015) and validated and reliable, and Diener et al. (1985). "Life Satisfaction Scale" was used, which was developed and adapted to Turkish by Koker (1991). In the analysis of the data, percentage and frequency descriptive statistical methods were used to determine the distribution of personal information, and the skewness and kurtosis values were checked to determine whether the data showed normal distribution. It was determined that the data were distributed normally, one-way anova and independent sample t-test were applied among the parametric tests.

Tulajdonságok nélküli futball

Author(s): József Kollár,Dávid Kollár,Kornél Mák / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 01/2021

In our paper, we explore the cultural roots of the Golden Team in the context of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy’s modernism which showed postmodern attributes. According to our interpretation, in connection with the age’s ontology, they played “grund-football” in two respects. On the one hand, in the sense that many players have learned to play football on the “grund” (sand-lot). Even as world-famous footballers, they were surrounded by the innovative spirit of the “grund”, which survived the fall of the Monarchy even in the 1950s. On the other hand, in line with the ontological pluralism of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy constituted by creative destruction, the modernist foundations of football were fundamentally questioned by their playing style.

The footballisation of the polish sociology of sport

Author(s): Jakub Ryszard Stempień / Language(s): English Issue: 75/2020

The article addresses the issue of the unique position of football among sports, which supports Bromberger’s thesis on the footballisation of society. As an overview of publications shows, football has occupied a special place in the international sociology of sport over the last 30 years; studies of football have been among the twenty most popular topics within the sub-discipline. However, it would be unjustified to speak of the footballisation of the international sociology of sport, understood as the overrepresentation of football in this sub-discipline. The situation is different when it comes to the Polish sociology of sport, where up to 50% of publications in the first fifteen years of the 21st century tackled various football-related issues. In conclusion, theses concerning possible consequences of the footballisation of the Polish sociology of sport are presented, including the type I and type II errors.

The sociological paradox of chess: the transclass distinction of the game of kings

Author(s): Krzysztof Olechnicki / Language(s): English Issue: 75/2020

The article deals with the sociological paradox of chess. On the one hand, this game gives people who belong to its social world a kind of desirable distinction, but on the other hand this distinction is not connected with the class position. In Pierre Bourdieu’s terms, if we treat chess as part of the sports field, then class distinction should be interconnected with it. Why is chess extremely popular and widespread, and therefore egalitarian, although it seems to be an excellent instrument for increasing class advantage? What makes so many people play chess, and how does chess confer the transclass distinction upon them? In answering these questions I will focus on the accessibility and openness of chess, its social nature, the totality of chess experience and the impossibility of defining it within one field: sport, science or art, and – last but not least – on the possibility of manipulating chess’s illusio.

Doping in e-sports. An empirical exploration and search for sociological interpretations

Author(s): Michał Jasny / Language(s): English Issue: 75/2020

Electronic sports is a new phenomenon in scientific research. Many issues within it have not been systematically analyzed. The use of artificial substances to improve human physical abilities is most often addressed in the context of deviation in sports. E-sports partially reflects sporting functionality, but in the area of doping and anti-doping control in video game competitions, it is difficult to delineate the boundary between what is allowed and what is forbidden. The aim of this work is to reconstruct the social assessment of doping in e-sports based on the attitudes and experience of fans and players. Most players accept the use of stimulants, such as energy drinks. Some of them also observe the use of prohibited substances during games. E-sports enthusiasts usually support anti-doping controls modeled on traditional sports and emphasize the importance of structural determinants of the issue, such as allowing the use of prohibited means.

Sport in the time of transformation in Poland. Gdańsk case study

Author(s): Dobrosław Mańkowski / Language(s): English Issue: 75/2020

Various areas of social and economic life and their changes during the political transformation after 1989 have been studied and analyzed by Polish sociologists. It seems that one of the areas that has been left out and which constitutes a terra incognita is the world of sport. As in other areas, individual and collective social actors who organized, managed or participated in the world of sport had to come to terms with the new social, economic and political order. That is why the transformation seen through their eyes and what they did, their motivations and ways of coping with changes are interesting and broaden our knowledge about the transformation period. In the article, I present a fragment of my own research on the course and effects of political transformation, based on the example of a multi-sectional Workers’ Sports Club Stoczniowiec Gdańsk (currently GKS Stoczniowiec Gdańsk). I was interested in the struggles of people who organized sport, which they had to face in the period of transformation. I was interested in how they experienced the clash with the emerging new social order. What strategies they adopted in their organizational activities and their practices during the transformation. The case study is treated as a field study and a conceptual pilot study which is a starting point for further exploration. I used two methods: desk research (among others, press articles, club information, official data, statistical data were collected) and in-depth interviews (IDI) with social actors operating in the sports club. The analytical framework for the study consists of three dimensions of transformation, namely the economic, political and legal, and social ones. The theoretical foundations, on the other hand, are the perspectives of new institutionalism, especially the theory of fields by Fligstein and McAdam and the concept of deinstitutionalization by Christine Oliver.
