List of sports The following is a list of sports/games, divided by cat- egory. There are many more sports to be added. This system has a disadvantage because some sports may fit in more than one category. According to the World Sports Encyclopedia (2003) there are 8,000 indigenous sports and sporting games.[1] 1 Physical sports 1.1 Air sports Wingsuit flying • Parachuting • Banzai skydiving • BASE jumping • Skydiving Lima Lima aerobatics team performing over Louisville. • Skysurfing Main article: Air sports • Wingsuit flying • Paragliding • Aerobatics • Powered paragliding • Air racing • Paramotoring • Ballooning • Ultralight aviation • Cluster ballooning • Hopper ballooning 1.2 Archery Main article: Archery • Gliding • Marching band • Field archery • Hang gliding • Flight archery • Powered hang glider • Gungdo • Human powered aircraft • Indoor archery • Model aircraft • Kyūdō 1 2 1 PHYSICAL SPORTS • Sipa • Throwball • Volleyball • Beach volleyball • Water Volleyball • Paralympic volleyball • Wallyball • Tennis Members of the Gotemba Kyūdō Association demonstrate Kyūdō. 1.4 Basketball family • Popinjay • Target archery 1.3 Ball over net games An international match of Volleyball.

    From Custom to Code. a Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football

    From Custom to Code From Custom to Code A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football Dominik Döllinger Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Humanistiska teatern, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor Patrick McGovern (London School of Economics). Abstract Döllinger, D. 2021. From Custom to Code. A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football. 167 pp. Uppsala: Department of Sociology, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2879-1. The present study is a sociological interpretation of the emergence of modern football between 1733 and 1864. It focuses on the decades leading up to the foundation of the Football Association in 1863 and observes how folk football gradually develops into a new form which expresses itself in written codes, clubs and associations. In order to uncover this transformation, I have collected and analyzed local and national newspaper reports about football playing which had been published between 1733 and 1864. I find that folk football customs, despite their great local variety, deserve a more thorough sociological interpretation, as they were highly emotional acts of collective self-affirmation and protest. At the same time, the data shows that folk and early association football were indeed distinct insofar as the latter explicitly opposed the evocation of passions, antagonistic tensions and collective effervescence which had been at the heart of the folk version. Keywords: historical sociology, football, custom, culture, community Dominik Döllinger, Department of Sociology, Box 624, Uppsala University, SE-75126 Uppsala, Sweden.

    Elements of the Specific Conditioning in Football at Universitary Level

    ELEMENTS OF THE SPECIFIC CONDITIONING IN FOOTBALL AT UNIVERSITARY LEVEL Dan Cristian MĂNESCU1 Abstract: Football is the most popular sport in the world with millions of practitioners and enthusiasts spreaded everywhere, including universities. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries. Along its popularity the rivalry among competitors increased, so in our days the training program became more intense and divers. In addition to their regular technical training on the field, the elite players also follow a fitness and conditioning routine which are including different components of fitness involved in this sport such as: endurance, strength, speed, power, agility, flexibility and nutrition. Technical and athletic training are both integral parts of a complete football development program. With the way the game has evolved today the players cannot stay competitive without taking the physical conditioning seriously. Once it’s introduced this complete training program to the players, the feedback is an immediate improvement in their game. Keywords: football, specific conditioning, universitary JEL classification: I19; I20 Introduction Football is the most popular sport in the world with millions of practitioners and enthusiasts spreaded everywhere, including universities. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries. The regular football is played between two teams of eleven players but some variants which are very popular to universities have been codified for reduced-sized teams. Usually five, six or seven a side football, played in non-field environments as artificial pitch or indoor with different names as minifootball (or arena football) and futsal (or indoor football). Minifootball (or arena football) is a type of game adapted for play on an artificial pitch in an indoor environment such as a baloon covered arena.

    Will American Football Ever Be Popular in the Rest of the World? by Mark Hauser , Correspondent

    Will American Football Ever Be Popular in the Rest of the World? By Mark Hauser , Correspondent Will American football ever make it big outside of North America? Since watching American football (specifically the NFL) is my favorite sport to watch, it is hard for me to be neutral in this topic, but I will try my best. My guess is that the answer to this queson is yes, however, I think it will take a long me – perhaps as much as a cen‐ tury. Hence, there now seems to be two quesons to answer: 1) Why will it become popular? and 2) Why will it take so long? Here are some important things to consider: Reasons why football will catch on in Europe: Reasons why football will struggle in Europe: 1) It has a lot of acon and excing plays. 1) There is no tradion established in other countries. 2) It has a reasonable amount of scoring. 2) The rules are more complicated than most sports. 3) It is a great stadium and an even beer TV sport. 3) Similar sports are already popular in many major countries 4) It is a great for beng and “fantasy football” games. (such as Australian Rules Football and Rugby). 5) It has controlled violence. 4) It is a violent sport with many injuries. 6) It has a lot of strategy. 5) It is expensive to play because of the necessary equipment. 7) The Super Bowl is the world’s most watched single‐day 6) Many countries will resent having an American sport sporng event.
  • Young American Sports Fans

    Young American Sports Fans

    Leggi e ascolta. Young American sports fans American football Americans began to play football at university in the 1870s. At the beginning the game was like rugby. Then, in 1882, Walter Camp, a player and coach, introduced some new rules and American Football was born. In fact, Walter Camp is sometimes called the Father of American Football. Today American football is the most popular sport in the USA. A match is only 60 minutes long, but it can take hours to complete because they always stop play. The season starts in September and ends in February. There are 11 players in a team and the ball looks like a rugby ball. ‘I play American football for my high school team. We play most Friday evenings. All our friends and family come to watch the games and there are hundreds of people at the stadium. The atmosphere is fantastic! High Five Level 3 . Culture D: The USA pp. 198 – 199 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE In my free time I love watching professional football. My local team is the Green Bay Packers. It’s difficult to get a ticket for a game, but I watch them on TV.’ Ice hockey People don’t agree on the origins of ice hockey. Some people say that it’s a Native American game. Other people think that immigrants from Iceland invented ice hockey and that they brought the game to Canada in the 19th century. Either way, ice hockey as we know it today was first played at the beginning of the 20th century. The ice hockey season is from October to June.
