  • Cherrybrook Athletics Receives $2800 Coles Community Sports Grant
    FUNDING RELIEF TO HELP CHERRYBROOK LITTLE ATHLETES STAY ON TRACK October 2020 Cherrybrook Little Athletics centre has been given a much-needed funding boost for its upcoming season thanks to a $2800 grant from Coles. Cherrybrook Little Athletics centre was one of 158 grassroots sports club across Australia to share in $521,000 for sports equipment from the latest round of the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund. It is the single largest round of grants distributed to Little Athletics centres since the Coles fund was established two years ago to support little athletes hoping to follow in the footsteps of Aussie champions like Sally Pearson and Brandon Starc. The grant comes amid research from the Australian Sports Foundation in July which estimated that over 16,000 local sports clubs were at risk of closing due to reduced revenues and increased costs arising from COVID-191. Cherrybrook Little Athletics’ Grant Coordinator Kate Tong said the $2,800 grant will help get its athletes and volunteers back on track after a tough year. “The grant will allow us to buy extra high jump top pads which will help reduce the waiting time for athletes to train and compete for this popular event. It will allow us to run our weekly program more smoothly and ensure athletes can maintain social distancing during the COVID period,” she said. Commonwealth Games high jump champion and Coles ambassador Brandon Starc is among the Aussie athletes who have been affected by disruptions and restrictions caused by COVID-19. The former western Sydney little athlete said he hopes the funding will encourage kids to get back on track this season.

  • Study on High Jumpers on the Word
    Ovidius University Annals, Series Physical Education and Sport / SCIENCE, MOVEMENT AND HEALTH Vol. XII, ISSUE 2 Supplement 2012, Romania The journal is indexed in: Ebsco, SPORTDiscus, INDEX COPERNICUS JOURNAL MASTER LIST, DOAJ DIRECTORY OF OPEN ACCES JOURNALS, Caby, Gale Cengace Learning STUDY ON HIGH JUMPERS ON THE WORD GHEORGHE DANIEL1 Abstract Purpose. This work has proposed that purpose, to separate the essential data for selection and training high performance athletes in the perspective of major international competition. Methods. As research methods I used the case study, observation and statistics. Results. For the final selection to the Olympics, to accede to one of the medals, the athlete’s performance should be over 2.30 m. If we have several athletes with special performances, we should focus primarily on those with a richer experience, with several international competitions, so a little older. Conclusions. In 2 of the 5 Olympics, the performance for the first place is equal to the average top, which confirms first hypothesis. The top average age is 24 years and 7 months which confirms the second hypothesis. The third hypothesis is confirmed with the observation that for the Olympics the performance is the supreme criterion, the height isn’t a decisive criterion (there are medalists with height below top average). The hypothesis of the athlete’s weight isn’t confirmed, recording an average of 77,36 kg. We only have significant correlation between athlete’s height and weight. Key words: athletes, performance, statistics. Introduction the essential data for selection and training high The present study is an analysis of the finalists performance athletes in the perspective of major from the last two Olympics and the first three of the international competition.

    Lund Conference on Earth System Governance - Towards a Just and Legitimate Earth System Governance: Addressing Inequalities Lund April 18-20, 2012 Lund University has a long and vibrant history covering almost 350 years of teaching and research with currently around 47 000 students and a position of excellence in international teaching and research. At Lund University, the diversity is great and the opportunities endless. The wide range on offer within education and research, along with the compact nature of the university campus provides great potential for cross-disciplinary collaborations – collaborations that are necessary to meet global challenges and social problems now and in the future. LUCSUS, the Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, was founded in 2000 as a cross-faculty LUCSUS organization, providing an interdisciplinary arena for Lund University Centre for research and education in sustainability science. LUCSUS Sustainability Studies employs about 35 researchers and support staff, and is also funding researchers at several other departments. In sustainability science we focus on questions related to local implications of the global challenges of development and environment. Our core consists of the trans-disciplinary international graduate school in sustainability science, comprising a Master’s program (www.lumes.lu.se) and a PhD program (www.lucid.lu.se). Our research covers wide-ranging themes such as the science/policy interface in connection with climate change; governance of water, land use and biodiversity in Africa and Latin America; gender and power in African development discourses; collective action and social entrepreneurship in Africa; food (in)security; sustainability assessment tools and methods. Funding of research projects is generated through large collaborative EU projects under FP-6 and FP-7 as well as Swedish research councils.
