  • Constraints Experienced by Elite Athletes with Disabilities in Kenya
    Journal of Leisure Research Copyright 2008 2008, Vol. 40, No. 1, pp. 128-155 National Recreation and Park Association Constraints Experienced by Elite Athletes with Disabilities in Kenya, with Implications for the Development of a New Hierarchical Model of Constraints at the Societal Level Janna L. Crawford and Monika Stodolska Department of Recreation, Sport and Tourism University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The purpose of this study was to investigate the constraints to the development of elite sport for people with disabilities in Kenya. A grounded theory research design was utilized to analyze the data collected by means of personal in-depth interviews. Interviews were conducted in 2003 in Nairobi, Kenya with five ath- letes on the Kenya Paralympic Team and five administrators supporting the Kenya Paralympic team. Seven major themes were identified with respect to the constraints faced by athletes and administrators. Issues related to negative at- titudes toward people with disabilities, coaching, equipment, facilities, trans- portation, ethnic favoritism, and lack of financial resources proved to be the biggest constraints identified by the respondents. Based on the findings of this study we developed a hierarchical model of constraints at the societal level and put forth propositions that explain its operation. KEYWORDS: Disability, athletes, constraints, developing countries. Introduction Twenty five percent of the world’s population is affected by some form of disability, either personally or through a family member (Ingstad & Whyte, 1995). Leisure activities constitute an important aspect of life of people with disabilities. For some of them, leisure is limited to passive relaxation, while for others it is associated with physical activities, including sport participa- tion, often at an elite level (Ruddell & Shinew, 2006).

  • Impact of Sporting Activities on the Environment in Kenya: Proposal for a Specific Policy on Sports and Environment
    Impact of Sporting Activities on the (2021) Journalofcmsd Volume 6(1)) Environment in Kenya: Proposal for a Specific Policy on Sports and Environment: Caroline Shisubili Maingi & Mercury Shitindo Impact of Sporting Activities on the Environment in Kenya: Proposal for a Specific Policy on Sports and Environment By: Caroline Shisubili Maingi* & Mercury Shitindo* Abstract Sport is a necessary part of life that is intricately interconnected to the environment. On one hand, sports need a good environment to be played on whilst at the same time, sports through its activities affects the environment. When the world was hit with a global pandemic in 2019, sports was one of the areas that was most affected. With the encouragement of social and physical distance as a means of reducing infection rates and limiting physical contact in sports, it also acted as a period of restoration of the environment. This article emphasizes how sport promotes good health, physical fitness, mental well-being, social interaction and contributes to the socio-economic, political and cultural development of a country. The article highlights how sports can attract infrastructure that requires heavy machinery that can impact the environment negatively, this in addition to the economic activities linked to it, and how this directly affects man. The article delves into sports in Kenya identifying how there are no clear guidelines on how to do sports while taking care of the environment. The study will recommend policies that will encourage a balance between having sports while also giving consideration to the environment. 1. Introduction Sport, like any other human activity, is set in the physical environment and is bound to have effects on it and be affected by it.

Acknowledging concerns expressed by some sociologists of sport about the role of celebrity athletes in the sport for development and peace movement, we suggest that in the particular contexts we studied, high-profile athletes played a crucial role in the organization of reconciliation events. Informed by interviews with former and current elite Kenyan runners and others involved in the organization of these events, we argue that the apparent effectiveness of the athletes in mobilizing resources, pursuing political opportunities and devising a collective action frame was possible because of the extant positioning of the athletes in the impacted communities, the active involvement in and personal investment of the athletes in the outcome of the peace-promoting activities, and the unique pre-Olympic moment in which the events took place.

    Materials and Methods Permissions and sampling protocols Permissions to conduct research and to export samples for destructive analysis Permission to conduct research in Kenya was obtained from the National Commission for Science, Technology, and Innovation (NACOSTI permit P/17/34239/17088 issued to MEP), through affiliation with the National Museums of Kenya (NMK). Permission to export skeletal samples for destructive sampling was issued by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Sports and Heritage. Permission to conduct research in Tanzania was granted by the Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH permits 2017-220/221/222-NA-2012-50 issued to MEP/EAS/JO), through affiliation with the National Museums of Tanzania (NMT). Permission to export skeletal samples for destructive sampling was granted by the Division of Antiquities, Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism (Export License 03/2018/2019). Permission to conduct research in the Livingstone Museum, Zambia was granted by the Director of the Museum. Permissions to loan and sample skeletal remains for destructive sampling were received from the Director and from the National Heritage Conservation Commission (Permit NHCC/8WR/004/17). Skeletal sampling protocols Samples were selected following protocols outlined in detail by (53). In brief: 1) Skeletons were chosen for sampling based upon their relevance to archaeological questions, preservation, available context information, and geographic location, among other factors. 2) No more than two skeletal tissue samples (bone and/or tooth) were selected per individual. In the vast majority of cases, the second sample, taken as a backup for aDNA or radiocarbon dating, was returned without having been sampled. 3) Samples were chosen to maximize aDNA success by preferentially choosing petrous or tooth, or where unavailable, dense postcranial bone; and by using appropriate protections to minimize contamination with modern DNA.

  • Soccer Is Kenya's Most Popular Sport, Watched by Almost Every Kenyan
    Dan Siegehnan History 91 12/22/2018 Political Goals: Soccer as a Langnage of Politics in Kenya Soccer is Kenya's most popular sport, watched by almost every Kenyan Soccer has a long history in Kenya, beginning with its introduction in the colonial period, when it was used by British colonists as a way to teach Kenyans European morals and values, In the postcolonial period, football was a similar political tool for Kenyan nationalist leaders, who built a sense ofKenyan identity on the back ofthe national team, But the Kenyan team has largely failed to produce results based on its level of support Faced with political challenges like corruption and the persecution of dissidents, soccer has emerged as a coded language for discussing politics, Football allows Kenyans to discuss the issues facing their country without fear, and this essay tries to understand what the game means not just as a political tool, but as a part ofKenyan life, Aden Marwa Range was set to be the only Kenyan referee at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, a proud moment for a nation whose rabid support of their soccer team has not been matched by its success on the international stage, Then, on June 7th, the BBC released footage of Marwa Range accepting a bribe from an undercover journalist, about $600 to fix a match at the African Nations Championship earlier that year. 1 On the eve of the tournament, the expose shocked the world, and led to a reexamination of the state of African football. Nowhere was this more true than in Marwa Range's home country, Kenya.
