  • Vision Testing and Visual Training in Sport
    VISION TESTING AND VISUAL TRAINING IN SPORT by LUKE WILKINS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines vision testing and visual training in sport. Through four related studies, the predictive ability of visual and perceptual tests was examined in a range of activities including driving and one-handed ball catching. The potential benefits of visual training methods were investigated (with particular emphasis on stroboscopic training), as well as the mechanisms that may underpin any changes. A key theme throughout the thesis was that of task representativeness; a concept by which it is believed the more a study design reflects the environment it is meant to predict, the more valid and reliable the results obtained are. Chapter one is a review of the literature highlighting the key areas which the thesis as a whole addresses. Chapter’s two to five include the studies undertaken in this thesis and follow the same format each time; an introduction to the relevant research, a methods section detailing the experimental procedure, a results section which statistically analysed the measures employed, and a discussion of the findings with reference to the existing literature.

SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.

Kickoff is slated for 7:15 p.m. for World Cup Celebration Night. Reno’s unbeaten streak began with a win over the playoff-contending Portland Timbers 2 back on April 21 in Portland. Reno has not lost a game since and will look to build on its playoff campaign against a squad one spot ahead in the Western Conference standings. Reno sits in seventh place after starting off the year at the bottom of the table going winless through its first four matches. Reno is coming off a 2-0 road win over San Antonio FC. Forward Brian Brown leads the club with five goals while Antoine Hoppenot sits atop the assist rankings with six. Portland has maintained its excellent form despite going 2-3 in their past five matches. Foster Langs- dorf leads the club with six goals this year, just three behind Golden Boot leaders Kharlton Belmar and Thomas Enevoldsen.

  • Fitness Profiling in Women's Lacrosse
    FITNESS PROFILING IN WOMEN’S LACROSSE: PHYSICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ATHLETES AND ASSESSMENT OF POSITIONAL DIFFERENCES Paige E. Lin Capstone Advisor: Anastasia Snelling, Ph. D Graduating with University Honors American University College of Arts and Sciences Spring 2012 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to describe and examine the fitness characteristics of collegiate women’s lacrosse athletes. More specifically, these profiles were used to determine if differences exist between players on the basis of position or playing experience. Of the twenty members of American University’s women's lacrosse team, twelve individuals (age 19.7 ± 1.2 years, height 168.8 ± 6.8 cm, weight 64.4 ± 7.1 kg) volunteered to participate in the study. Subjects were evaluated mid-season over two non-consecutive days. Testing battery included maximal aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, vertical jump, grip strength, flexibility, agility, anaerobic speed endurance, and muscular strength. Anthropometric measures determined that defenders were shorter and heavier than both midfielders and attackers (p > 0.05). Significant differences between midfielders and both attackers (p = 0.025) and defenders (p = 0.034) were observed for VO2max. Significant differences were not observed between positions for any other test variable. However, it was found that midfielders achieved the highest scores in all tests except explosiveness and muscular strength. No significant differences were found based on playing experience. Overall, lacrosse athletes in this study compared favorably to previous studies. Homogeneity between positions for women’s lacrosse players, or the importance of sport specific skills and not physiological characteristics, could explain the lack of discriminatory value between the tests used.

Using sports-themed video games, we can broaden the understanding of representation to include action or the ways athletes perform within any given game by analyzing attribute allocation, the primary method of avatar differentiation within the sports genre, and how digital bodies play a role in shaping an athlete’s real-world identity. Sports-themed video games are immensely popular with the big 3 franchises, Madden, FIFA and the NBA 2K series, routinely finishing among the best-selling video game titles year in and year out. Due to their popularity, scholars have turned some attention toward this genre of games although almost all articles pertain solely to the aesthetic representations of athlete avatars while comparatively few attempts have been made to breakdown the relationship between an athlete’s real statistics and how these statistics figure into the representation of their digitized body.

Both the Chinese and the Greeks, before the Christian era, as well as the Florentines during the Renaissance, played games based on moving a sphere with their feet. Tsu-chu in China, Kemari, in Japan, Epyskiros, in Greece, and Harpastrum, in the Roman Empire, are some of the names of rudimentary forms of the game that became known as football. Developed by the English starting in the 12th century, it was only in the first half of the 19th century that football acquired a set of rules, seeking to differentiate it from rugby, another very popular sport in British schools. In 1863, the Football Association was created, consolidating the rules and organizing the first games and tournaments of the new sport.
