  • Ya Exhibe Sorpresas La Copa Mundial De Voleibol Para Hombres
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Ya exhibe sorpresas la Copa Mundial de Voleibol para hombres Entre los resultados inesperados de las dos primeras jornadas del certamen está la victoria de Puerto Rico sobre EE.UU., lo que no ocurría desde hacía 30 años Publicado: Martes 20 noviembre 2007 | 01:19:12 am. Publicado por: Ricardo Quiza Dos jornadas han bastado para que la Copa del Mundo de Voleibol para hombres exhiba sus primeras sorpresas, sinónimo de que el camino resultará bastante complicado para los pronósticos. Los boricuas (izquierda) no le ganaban a Estados Unidos desde 1977. Foto: FIVB El primer resultado inesperado fue la victoria de Puerto Rico sobre Estados Unidos, tres sets por uno, en el segundo cartel efectuado en la ciudad japonesa de Matsumoto. Imagínense que eso no ocurría desde hacía 30 años, en el torneo NORCECA de 1977. Los boricuas, que al cierre marchaban invictos con dos triunfos en el grupo A, al igual que Rusia y Bulgaria, dependieron fundamentalmente de su astro Héctor «Pinky» Soto, quien anotó 29 puntos, secundado por José Rivera (14). Y el éxito tiene mayor envergadura si tomamos en consideración que Estados Unidos reúne en su nómina a siete jugadores con experiencia olímpica: Lloy Ball, Gabriel Gardner, Thomas Hoff, Ryan Millar, William Priddy, Riley Salmon y Clayton Stanley. Es evidente que el entrenador estadounidense, Hugh McCutheon, quiere conseguir ahora uno de los tres boletos en litigio para los Juegos Olímpicos de Beijing 2008, y ya engrasa la maquinaria para la cita estival. Tan en serio va el asunto que el día anterior, fueron los propios estadounidenses los protagonistas de otro resultado poco esperado, aunque no tan insólito, al pulverizar al más prominente conjunto de los últimos años, Brasil, en sets corridos.

Nos tempos atuais, manter uma revista científica de qualidade, periodicidade e com grande circulação e penetração, torna-se um enorme desafio para o Instituto de Pesquisa da Capacitação Física do Exército, órgão responsável pela edição da revista, sendo um motivo de extremo orgulho para a nossa instituição. Procuramos nesta edição trazer artigos nas áreas de treinamento, da ética, da antropometria, da história desportiva, culminando com um artigo sobre as Olimpíadas de Atenas, motivo maior neste ano olímpico. Os artigos estão apresentados de acordo com as Normas Nacionais de Redação, apresentando sempre cientificidade como fator primordial. Nossa Revista possui o código indexador ISSN e estamos em processo de indexação. Será também, a partir de sua primeira publicação em 2004, uma revista eletrônica, podendo ser acessada no site www.revistadeeducacaofisica.com.br o qual conterá todas as edições anteriores, desde 1932, constituindo-se no maior acervo na área de educação física do Brasil.
