NASSS 2016 Preliminary Program All Sessions October 2 1 La Sociedad Norteamericana para la Sociología del Deporte Société Nord-Americaine de Sociologie du Sport North American Society for the Sociology of Sport 2016 Annual Meeting Publicly Engaged Sociology of Sport Tampa Downtown Hilton, Tampa Bay, Florida, USA November 2 -5, 2016 2 Publicly Engaged Sociology of Sport Inspired by reCent momentous Cultural events, the ConFerenCe theme questions and Considers the role oF sport soCiology and sport soCiologists in publiC engagement. In the Context of growing economic inequality, we see publiC money being siphoned into private stadiums within proFessional sport, Corruption within international sporting organizations, and U.S. College Coaches being the highest paid employees in state institutions within ‘amateur’ sport. In a time oF Continued and deadly racial violenCe, sport remains segregated and stratiFied in terms oF sports, positions, and partiCularly in terms oF positions oF power. Even as girls and women demonstrate unFlagging interest in sport in all levels and types, they are still reCognized primarily For how they look rather than For what they Can acComplish. We have witnessed marriage equality For all people in the United States and many places around the world, regardless oF sexuality, yet ‘out’ gay male athletes remain rare in the highest levels oF sport. We watch teChnology transForm the athletiC possibilities oF those with a variety oF physiCal impairments, at the same time that acCess to sport partiCipation remains a barrier. Importantly, as we know, none oF these brieF examples work in isolation oF the others. The Clear, and also submerged, interseCtions oFFer Fruitful examinations in muCh oF the work that we do within our Field. As Don Sabo (1995) noted in his NASSS presidential address, “Sport soCiologists From the politiCal leFt to the politiCal right are embroiled by the politiCs oF knowledge ConstruCtion, and our myriad identities as theorists and researChers bring us Closer to, or push us Further From, the ConCerns and needs oF Community” (p. 248). Thus, what is our role beyond the study oF sport? Who should be responsible For publiC engagement? How do we do it? While muCh oF our work beComes publiC through publiCation or presentation, how acCessible is our work, both in terms oF the language we use and where our work appears? How CiviCally and politiCally engaged are we in our various publiCs? How muCh does our work inForm publiC poliCies? Are our voiCes being heard through the media outlets From whiCh most people gain their inFormation? What are our moral obligations? As journalist Dave Zirin (2008) argued, in “Calling Sport SoCiology oFF the BenCh,” “The athletiC industrial Complex keeps throwing pitch after juiCy pitch down the middle oF the plate. It’s time For sports soCiologists to get the bats oFF their shoulders and begin to shape debates within the sports world.” Any errors in Content and layout are solely the responsibility of the ConferenCe program Committee Chair. 3 2016 NASSS Executive Board Members President: Cheryl Cooky, Purdue University President EleCt: Theresa Walton-Fisette, Kent State University Past President: Jane Stangl, Smith College SeCretary: Jeffrey Montez de Oca, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs Treasurer: Brenda Riemer, Eastern Michigan University Diversity Committee Chair: Algerian Hart, Western Illinois University Member-at-Large: Lisa McDermott, University of Alberta Member-at-Large: Rachel Allison, Mississippi State University Member-at-Large: Shannon Jette, University of Maryland Graduate Student Representative: Courtney Szto, Simon Fraser University Graduate Student Representative: Samuel Twito, University of Texas, Austin Ex Officio Members of the Board: EleCtions Chair: Jessica Chin, California State University, San Jose State University SSJ Editor: Michael Giardina, Florida State University Web Committee Chair: Jennifer McGovern, Monmouth University ConFerenCe Coordinator: Maureen Smith, California State University, Sacramento ArChivist: Nancy Spencer, Bowling Green State University ConFerenCe LoCator: Michelle Helstein, University of Lethbridge Special Acknowledgments: JenniFer Walton-Fisette, John Markulis, James Tunney A special thanks to the following for assistance, gifts-in-kind, and financial support: Kent State University 2016 Program Committee Members Theresa Walton-Fisette, Chair, Kent State University Elizabeth Cavalier, Georgia Gwinnett College Amanda Curtis, Lake Erie College Brian Gearity, University of Denver Algerian Hart, Western Illinois University Matthew Hawzen, Florida State University David Karen, Bryn Mawr College Joshua I.

  • MARATHON (WO)MAN… Made in Athènes… Since 1896 !
    NEWSLETTER N°13 JUILLET 2021 CÔTE DE JADE ATHLETIC CLUB Convivialité | Entraide | Performance L’édito d’été d’un triathlète impliqué, Samuel Brégeot "Depuis quelques semaines, on se réjouit de voir que le sport en compétition redémarre. Tout le monde connaît le triathlon avec le traditionnel enchaînement Natation / Vélo de route / Course à pied (CAP). Mais la section est tout d'abord définie comme un sport de disciplines enchaînées. On pratique de multiples épreuves combinées : - le Cross triathlon (on remplace le vélo de route par un VTT et la CAP se déroule toujours en mode trail, pour ceux qui préfèrent la nature au bitume)... - l'Aquathlon (natation / CAP) pour ceux qui n'aiment pas le vélo... - le Duathlon (CAP / vélo / CAP) pour ceux qui ne savent pas nager ... - le Vétathlon est la version nature de ce dernier avec du VTT à la place du vélo de route... - le Run&Bike par équipe de 2 pour ceux qui adorent sauter sur leur vélo et piquer des sprints... - le SwimRun en binôme où tu nages avec tes chaussures et tu cours avec ta combi, - des épreuves en équipe (triathlon, duathlon) ou en relais (chacun fait son sport de prédilection)... - le Swim&Bike, euh non ce sport n'existe pas (pas encore ) !!! Bien-sûr toutes ces épreuves sont proposées avec toute une palette de distances. Du triathlon XS (300m de nat' + 10km de vélo + 2,5km de Cap) jusqu'au XL, plus connu sous le nom d'Ironman (3,8km de nat' + 180km de vélo + 42km de CAP). Les pratiques sont très variées et c'est ce qui fait le charme de ce sport.

  • A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships
    A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships The first 70 years The World Cross Country Championships, often considered the toughest footraces on the planet, may be more difficult to win than the Olympics or the World Championships in Athletics. The predecessor of the World Cross Country Championships was the International Cross Country Championships, inaugurated in 1903. With only four countries (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) initially participating, these championships could hardly be considered “international” during their early years. However, by 1972, when 197 runners from 15 countries competed, the championships had gained international stature. Three great runners — Jack Holden (GBR), the 1950 European marathon champion; Alain Mimoun (FRA), the 1956 Olympic marathon champion; and Gaston Roelants (BEL), the 1964 Olympic 3000mSC champion — won four individual titles during the days of International Cross Country Championships. In the women’s event, Doris Brown won five straight championships from 1967 to 1971. Many Olympic medalists won the International Cross Country Championships. Jean Bouin (FRA), who won the silver medal at 5000m in the 1912 Olympics, won three championships from 1911, while Mohammed Gommoudi (TUN), who won the 5000m in the 1968 Olympics, also won the International Cross Country Championships in the same year. Franjo Mihalic (YUG), Rhadi ben Abdesselem (MAR), and Basil Heatley (GBR), all Olympic marathon silver medalist, won the International Cross Country Championships. However, because participation was generally limited to runners from nations that were members of the International Cross Country Union (ICCU), the championships were not truly “world” in scope. In fact, Emil Zatopek (CZE), 1952 Helsinki triple gold medalist, and Vladimir Kuts (URS), 1956 Melbourne double Olympic champion, never competed at the International Cross Country Championships.

  • In-Class Exercise
    PROBLEM SET 3—STATS 210 Due: July 29, 2004 1. A group of researchers was studying lifetime lead exposure and IQ in 7-year old kids. They classified 100 children as having “high,” “medium,” or “low” exposure based on the lead concentrations in their teeth (using baby teeth that had fallen out). Then they measured their IQ on a standard, age-appropriate IQ test, the results of which are known to have a nice normal distribution in the population. The following multiple linear regression equation resulted: IQ = 100 + (-2)*(1 if exposure=medium, 0 if low or high) + (-10)*(1 if exposure=high, 0 if low or medium) Regression coefficients: βˆ = −2; s.e.(βˆ ) = .5 1 1 ˆ ˆ β 2 = −10; s.e.(β 2 ) = .8 a. What is the p-value for the test of the null hypothesis that β1=0? That β2=0? Note: Regression coefficients are a test statistic (like a mean or difference in means), and thus have a sampling distribution. The sampling distribution of an estimated regression coefficient ˆ ˆ is a t-distribution: β ~ Tn−k (β , s.e.(β ) ): where n is the sample size; k is the number of estimated coefficients in the model, including the intercept; β is the “true” slope between the predictor and outcome; and the standard error of β represents the variability that we expect to see in estimates of β based on sample sizes of n. ˆ ˆ Correspondingly, the null distribution of β is β ~ Tn−k (0, s.e.(β ) ); (a slope of 0 indicates no relationship between the predictor and the outcome).

Describe the range of applications of statistics 2. Identify situations in which statistics can be misleading 3. Define "Statistics" Statistics include numerical facts and figures. For instance: • The largest earthquake measured 9.2 on the Richter scale. • Men are at least 10 times more likely than women to commit murder. • One in every 8 South Africans is HIV positive. • By the year 2020, there will be 15 people aged 65 and over for every new baby born. The study of statistics involves math and relies upon calculations of numbers. But it also relies heavily on how the numbers are chosen and how the statistics are interpreted. For example, consider the following three scenarios and the interpretations based upon the presented statistics. You will find that the numbers may be right, but the interpretation may be wrong. Try to identify a major flaw with each interpretation before we describe it.

    A Brief History of the World Cross Country Championships By Ken Namaura The first 70 years The World Cross Country Championships, often considered the toughest footraces on the planet, may be more difficult to win than the Olympics or the World Championships in Athletics. The predecessor of the World Cross Country Championships was the International Cross Country Championships, inaugurated in 1903. With only four countries (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) initially participating, these championships could hardly be considered “international” during their early years. However, by 1972, when 197 runners from 15 countries competed, the championships had gained international stature. Three great runners — Jack Holden (GBR), the 1950 European marathon champion; Alain Mimoun (FRA), the 1956 Olympic marathon champion; and Gaston Roelants (BEL), the 1964 Olympic 3000mSC champion — each won four individual titles during the days of International Cross Country Championships. In the women’s event, Doris Brown won five straight championships from 1967 to 1971. Many Olympic medalists won the International Cross Country Championships. Jean Bouin (FRA), who won the silver medal at 5000m in the 1912 Olympics, won three championships from 1911, while Mohammed Gommoudi (TUN), who was second at 5000m in the 1968 Olympics won the International Cross Country Championships in the same year. Franjo Mihalic (YUG), Rhadi ben Abdesselem (MAR), and Basil Heatley (GBR), all Olympic marathon silver medalist, won the International Cross Country Championships. However, because participation was generally limited to runners from nations that were members of the International Cross Country Union (ICCU), the championships were not truly “world” in scope. In fact, Emil Zatopek (CZE), 1952 Helsinki triple gold medalist, and Vladimir Kuts (URS), 1956 Melbourne double Olympic champion, never competed at the International Cross Country Championships.

  • ROD DE HIGHDEN. MR UNDER-RATED. in Many Ways, Rod De Highden Is the Unsung Hero of Australian Distance Running
    ROD DE HIGHDEN. MR UNDER-RATED. In many ways, Rod de Highden is the unsung hero of Australian distance running. Over the last ten years, despite running in the shadow of Steve Moneghetti and Lee Troop, Rod has represented Australia with distinction at Olympic Games, World Athletic Championships and World Cross-Country Championships. I was fortunate to catch up with Rod at Falls Creek, where he was putting in the „hard yards‟ that would give him a shot at making his third Olympic Team. N.M. Rod, welcome back to Falls Creek. How many years have you been coming to the Victorian high-country over the Christmas holiday break? R.D. I think I first came up in 1995 with Peter O‟Donoghue and during that stint we had about seven days where we ran through snow so that was a new experience for me and quite tough running. N.M. Peter O‟Donoghue was certainly a quality athlete. R.D. He was a Rolls Royce - such a great mover and a great athlete. N.M. How did Peter run up here because some quality track athletes have found the tough Falls Creek terrain not to their liking? R.D. I think he enjoyed it. However, we trained with Mona, who was the „King of the Mountain‟ back then and he really showed us both how to run up here. N.M. And Mona has been a great inspiration for you over the years? R.D. For sure. You can‟t say a bad thing about Mona. He‟s been a wonderful ambassador for the sport and is always supportive with other athletes.
