  • Latvian Sportspeople Representation in English and Latvian Wikipedias
    32 | Rudzinska: LATVIAN SPORTSPEOPLE REPRESENTATION ... ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER LATVIAN SPORTSPEOPLE REPRESENTATION IN ENGLISH AND LATVIAN WIKIPEDIAS Ieva Rudzinska Latvian Academy of Sport Education Address: 333 Brivibas Street, Riga, LV-1006, Latvia Phone: 37167543445, fax: +37167543480 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The goal was to study Latvian sportspeople representation in English and Latvian Wikipedias in 2015. The analyses allowed identifying three main Latvian sportspeople related categories in English Wikipedia: “Latvian sportspeople”, “List of Latvian sportspeople” and “Latvian sports related lists”, a category “Latvijas sportisti” in Latvian Wikipedia. In “Latvian sportspeople” 1018 sportspeople were listed by family names, starting with Artis Ābols and ending with Ainārs Zvirgzdiņš, by sports – from Latvian alpine skiers to Latvian weightlifters. In “List of Latvian sportspeople” were included 99 most notable Latvian sportspeople, representing 24 sports. The largest athlete frequency per sport (14) was in 3 sports: athletics, basketball and luge. From 5 to 10 sportspeople were in 6 sports: rowing, bobsleigh, volleyball, ice hockey, judo and tennis, 15 sports were represented by 1 to 4 athletes. In Latvian Wikipedia in the category “Latvijas sportisti” were 1186 sportspeople from 38 sports. Statistical analysis allowed finding moderate Pearson correlations between the numbers of sportspeople in the category “Latvian sportspeople” and “List of Latvian sportspeople”, EN (0.60; Sig.<0.01); “List of Latvian sportspeople”,

  • Competitive Identity for Nation of Latvia – Lessons to Learn from National Hockey Team ‘’Dinamo Riga’’
    ISSN 1822 – 8402 EUROPEAN INTEGRATION STUDIES. 2010. No 4 COMpETITIVE IDEnTITY fOR nATIOn Of LATVIA – LESSOnS TO LEARn fROM nATIOnAL HOCKEY TEAM ‘’DInAMO RIGA’’ Ainars Brencis, Juris Ozols School of Business Administration Turiba Abstract nowadays global competition could be seen not only in corporate level, but also is exists among nations. Competition among nations is in following sectors – foreign investment, export and tourism. As there is competition between nations, regions and cities (as it is among corporations) there will be always need for methods to increase subject’s competitiveness – this can be defined as a Competitive Identity (porter 1998). Term Competitive Identity is used as broader expression of brand management for nations, Cities and Regions. Higher marketing effort is needed for developing (emerging) nations, and nations without resources (natural or man made) representing absolute advantages. nation branding has emerged relatively recently as an important field in the domain of international marketing. Anholt 2007 states marketing quality depends on all the national stakeholders (virtually society – people) working together in creating competitive identity. Media could be involved only after all the stakeholders speak one language about their country. Communication can’t substitute positive change; it can only help change to happen faster. Latvian authorities too often start from the least efficient – communication. According to nation Brands Index (NBI) and City Brand Barometer, Latvia and its capital Riga, shares one of the last places – 35 to 40th (depending on research type and year) place from forty among other nations and cities around the World. After regaining independence and collapse of almost all the industry, there was little left for positioning Latvia as a nation, so fanning for ice hockey was spontaneous and very convenient way for local people to speak common language about their nation.

  • Periodization and Exercise Selection
    RESISTANCE TRAINING Workout Options and Program Periodization BASIC RULES FOR EXERCISE SELECTION AND ORGANIZATION: When selecting exercises for a particular muscle group, one must consider a number of factors to ensure the safety of the musculature and joints involved in the movement, to attain the temporary failure condition for the muscles involved to promote continued progress and to ensure activation of the desired muscle groups. These rules include: A. Exercises for problem muscle groups should be performed at the beginning of the workout to prevent their omission from the workout. This organization also allows the weight trainer to address these exercises with the greatest amount of energy available. This should help to maximize one’s efforts and, ultimately, one’s progress. B. Exercises for large muscle groups should always be addressed before those for small muscle groups. Ex.: pectorals, and depending upon the specific exercise selected, shoulders before triceps; latissimus dorsi and trapezius before biceps, quadriceps before gastrocnemius (calves). C. Multiple-joint exercises should always be performed before isolation exercises. Multiple-joint exercises involve the large muscle groups of the body, i.e. the pectorals, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, quadriceps (when assisted by the gluteal and/or hip flexor groups), hamstrings and the deltoids. These exercises typically have a “last name” of: press, pull, row, squat or lunge. Single-joint exercises utilize only one joint and usually involve such muscle groups as the deltoids (with no assistance from the triceps), the triceps, biceps, the quadriceps or hamstrings (when not assisted by the gluteal or hip flexor groups). These exercises typically have a “last name” of: extension, curl, flye, raise, pressdown or pulldown.

  • Supramaximal Eccentric Training for Alpine Ski Racing—Strength Training with the Lifter
    applied sciences Commentary Supramaximal Eccentric Training for Alpine Ski Racing—Strength Training with the Lifter Carson Patterson * and Christian Raschner Olympiazentrum, Department of Sport Science, University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 10 December 2020 Featured Application: The Intelligent Motion Lifter is a new mechatronic strength training device that allows safe and effective strength training with supramaximal loads. Abstract: Eccentric muscular work plays a large role in alpine ski racing. Training with supramaximal eccentric loads (SME) is highly effective to improve eccentric strength but potentially dangerous. Most SME training devices do not allow the athlete to move a barbell freely as they would when performing conventional barbell training. The Intelligent Motion Lifter (IML) allows for safe SME training with a free barbell and no spotters. The IML can be used for free barbell training: a spotter for normal training, eccentric only, concentric only, and squat jumps. It is also a training and testing device for isokinetic and isometric exercise. This commentary addresses the necessity of eccentric training for elite alpine ski racers, the development of the IML and its use in training. Keywords: eccentric; alpine ski racing; strength training; supramaximal loads; athlete safety 1. Eccentric Exercise in Alpine Ski Racing Scientific analysis of world class Swedish alpine ski racers in the 1990s [1,2] showed that eccentric muscular work predominated over concentric work in the disciplines of slalom, giant slalom and super G. More current work with elite Swiss racers corroborated this [3–5], with Vogt and Hoppeler stating that alpine skiing is “the only sport activity dominated by eccentric muscle activity” [5].

  • Financing Model for the Development of Latvian Athletes
    32 | Lauva et al: FINANCING MODEL FOR ... ORIGINAL RESEARCH PAPER FINANCING MODEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LATVIAN ATHLETES Mārtiņš Lauva1, Uldis Grāvītis2 1Ventspils University College Address: 101 Inzenieru Street, Ventspils, LV-3601, Latvia E-mail: [email protected] 2Latvian Academy of Sport Education Address: 333 Brivibas Street, Riga, LV1006, Latvia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The organization of Latvian sports has come a long way since its foundation in the period of independence between the first and second World Wars. The following situation has developed in the organisational structure in sport in Latvia, individual sports and training expenses for individuals in these disciplines are financed by the state, whereas, team sports depend on funding provided by local governments, private sponsors and contributors. Subsidies to enable the participation of national teams in international games are allocated from the state budget, but there is no support system for the best representatives of team sports in order to develop their individual skill, as with individual disciplines. A support system for team athletes can facilitate success of a particular kind of sport at an international level. The youth sports system is mainly based on sports schools, which are maintained by local governments and are developing the most talented future athletes. The necessity for the establishment of specialized boardingschools, to bring together the best representatives in each kind of sport, in each age group nationwide, as well as the best professional coaches, is being frequently accentuated. Deficiencies in the public system can be remedied by attracting private capital investors. Organizations operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Education and Science have developed criteria for the allocation of funding to provide training for athletes.

  • Shooting for Lithuania: Migration, National Identity and Men's
    Page 1 of 14 Evans is with the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sport, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Piggott is with the School of Sport, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds. UK. Address author correspondence to Adam Evans at [email protected]. Lithuanian Acculturation in UK Basketball http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/ssj.2015-0028 Shooting for Lithuania: Migration, National Identity and Men’s Basketball in the East of England Adam B. Evans University of Copenhagen David Piggott Leeds Beckett University The accession of the ‘A8 states’ into the European Union initiated considerable migration into Western Europe. The impact upon local communities has seen significant attention, yet little research exists that focuses upon migrant experiences and identity specifically in sport. This study used a figurational framework to investigate the lived experiences of basketball among male Lithuanian migrants in the rural east of England. Semistructured interviews highlighted participants’ motivations to migrate, their acculturation experiences and the role that basketball played during their sojourn. Participants considered basketball a significant means for the expression of national identity and as a focus for their resistance to local racializing processes. Conversely, conflict with established local basketball communities and perceptions of marginalization among migrants were common, creating divisions in local basketball competitions. In May 2004 a group of eight Eastern European states, the ‘Accession 8,’ (or A8) countries joined the European Union (Gillingham, 2010). This action removed many previous restrictions to international labor laws and initiated a phase of migration from the A8 countries into Western Europe, including half a million migrants into the United Kingdom (UK) between 2004 and 2006 (Blanchflower et al., 2007; Pemberton & Scullion, 2013).
