Activation of Sponsorship Relationship – the case of Volkswagen and the Prague International Marathon

Author(s): Sasho Belovski / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

The academia and the relevant industry seem to lack more complete and coherent literature and knowledge on the subject of sponsorship activation, and especially seek for more concrete business practices and feedback from the market. The goal of this work thus is to present a very relevant and up-to-date case study that will contribute to enriching the sponsorship activation literature and to better comprehending the business practices and decision makings. A scrutinized case study of such nature clearly requires a qualitative research method, concentrating on large amount of detailed and focused information, as opposed to analyzing bulk samples and statistics. The research question is being answered by collecting information from personal interviews, access to all necessary documentation and corporate material, as well as direct contribution of the author in all the negotiation and implementation processes of the sponsorship relationship.

Addiction in Extreme Sports: An Exploration of Withdrawal States in Rock Climbers

Author(s): Robert M. Heirene,David Shearer,Gareth Roderique-Davies,Stephen D. Mellalieu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2016

Extreme sports athletes are often labeled “adrenaline junkies” by the media, implying they are addicted to their sport. Research suggests during abstinence these athletes may experience withdrawal states characteristic of individuals with an addiction (Celsi, Rose, & Leigh, 1993; Franken, Zijlstra, & Muris, 2006; Willig, 2008). Despite this notion, no research has directly explored withdrawal experiences of extreme sports athletes. Methods: Using semi-structured interviews, we explored withdrawal experiences of high (n = 4) and average-ability (n = 4) male rock climbers during periods of abstinence. We investigated the psychological and behavioral aspects of withdrawal, including craving, anhedonia, and negative affect; and differences in the frequency and intensity of these states between groups. Results: Deductive content analysis indicated support for each of the three categories of anhedonia, craving, and negative affect. Consistent with existing substance addiction literature, high-ability climbers recalled more frequent and intense craving states and negative affect during abstinence compared with average-ability climbers. No differences in anhedonic symptoms between high and average-ability participants were found. Conclusions: Rock climbing athletes appear to experience withdrawal symptoms when abstinent from their sport comparable to individuals with substance and behavioral addictions. The implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

AEROBİK PERFORMANS VE SOLUNUM İLİŞKİSİ

Author(s): Birgül Arslan,Tuba Melekoğlu / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 1/2019

Maximal oxygen consumption during exercise is an important determinant of aerobic capacity. Therefore, researchers use the aerobic tests evaluating maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) to determine the aerobic capacity. VO2max depends on the capacity of the respiratory and circulatory systems to take up and distribute oxygen, and also the capacity of the muscles to receive and utilize it. Hence, there is three physiological systems affecting VO2max. In contrast to the circulatory and muscle systems, the respiratory system is usually not considered an important limiting factor for aerobic capacity because of its sufficient capacity to cope with the demands during high-intensity exercises. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between aerobic capacity and respiratory system parameters. Twenty healthy and trained males (24.3 ± 2.7 years, 178.1 ± 4.0 cm, 73.3 ± 7.1 kg) volunteered to participate in the study. The height, weight, body fat percentage, lean body mass, ventilation parameters, and maximal oxygen consumption were evaluated. After evaluating the distribution of the data, the Pearson Correlation Test was used to determine the relationship status. As a result of our study, a high correlation was found between VO2max and maximal ventilation volume (r=0.814; p=0.000), and a moderate correlation was found between VO2max and tidal volume (r=0.532; p=0.01). Even if the circulatory system was referred as the main factor affecting aerobic capacity in researches, the high correlation in our study results between VO2max and maximal ventilation volume shows that respiratory system should also be considered as an important factor for aerobic capacity.

Author(s): Jan Novotný,Vladimir Pospíchal / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 1/2014

The research project focuses on the problem of the optimum cross step in long distance run. Step should be energetically most favourable – economics. We want to answer the question whether and under what conditions it is energetically preferable to endurance runner‘s pace with the impact on the forefoot or rearfoot. Testing subjects were 15 athletes. Athletes held running pace 12 km.h-1 . When we evaluated results, we focused on indicators running economy – minute oxygen uptake, minute oxygen uptake per kilogram of weight and heart rate. The aim of the study is to contribute to determine whether there is a more energy-intensive endurance running with an impact on the rearfoot or the impact on the forefoot. In this article, we focus on two important factors affecting running economy - minute oxygen uptake and minute oxygen uptake per kilogram of weight.

Age effect v juniorskom tenise

Author(s): Jiří Zháněl,Adrian Agricola,Martin Zvonař,Ondřej Hubáček,Vladimír Psalman / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 2/2012

The first publications about the theory of the age effect (theory of the influence of age) appeared in sports science in the 80´s of the last century. Though it was not as long as the last few years we have encountered with a research of this particular topic more regularly. The theory is based on the assumption that the athletes born at the beginning of the calendar year are, mainly in the junior age, more successful than later born athletes. This has been shown in many studies especially in ice hockey, soccer, tennis but also in other sports.

Agresja w sporcie. Jak sobie z nią radzić?

Author(s): Dariusz Pater / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 29/2018

Although violence in sport is a common phenomenon that is sometimes accepted, it often draws strong condemnation as well. The main causes of aggression are physiological in nature and seem easy to understand. They can be clearly noticed in sports competition and the accompanying emotions. Sometimes violence is a spontaneous and ill-considered behavior. The decision to act aggressively is often made under the pressure of time. However, violence among players may also be a goal in itself. Another person or group of people (sports team) may be seen as an obstacle or a threat that should be knocked out in order to achieve one’s goal. This kind of aggression leads to bloody fights, attacks and hatred for others, in which case a game or a match is only a pretext to release aggression. There exists a deep conviction that violence needs to be systematically prevented from an early age. Violence prevention takes place primarily in the family, peer group and school. First programs of violence prevention should be introduced as early as in the primary school and should focus on developing empathy and the ability to control emotional arousal, learning how to solve problems, as well as acquiring competence in dealing with anger and frustration.
