    The Impact of Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation in Alberta

    The Impact of Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation in Alberta April 2020 Executive Summary: As a society Alberta is undergoing unprecedented changes due to COVID- 19, and as we look both to crisis responses right now and forward to recovery and relaunch strategies in the future, it is imperative that the sport, recreation, and physical activity (SPAR) sector be a foundation of both. Alberta is a hub for world-class services for people of all ages, genders, backgrounds and abilities, and now is a time to draw upon these organizations and community leaders to guide our recovery and ensure equitable access to health for all. Provincial investment in SPAR currently lags woefully behind other provinces, despite the high value Albertans place on being physically active in their daily lives. Renewed investment to build a strong SPAR sector will quickly and significantly aid the economic, health, and social impact of Albertans as the province recovers from COVID-19. SPAR is essential to the wellbeing of Albertans. The sectors builds coping skills and supports social and community connections that build whole population mental and physical wellness The SPAR sector: Creates jobs and is an income generator in Alberta Including both sport and recreation, the SPAR sector contributes as much as 2% to Alberta GDP and supports more than 3.5% of total employment. Provides considerable value to Albertans in their daily lives More than 82% of Albertans believe that sport contributes to an improved quality of life. Some 24% of adults and 59% of children participate directly in organized sport, while sport has the highest volunteer rate and number of volunteer hours of any other organizations in the non-profit sector.

  • Maps for Different Forms of Orienteering

    Maps for Different Forms of Orienteering

    MAPS FOR DIFFERENT FORMS OF ORIENTEERING László Zentai Eötvös Loránd University, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/A H-1117 Budapest, Hungary [email protected] Abstract: Orienteering became a worldwide sport in the last 25-30 years. Orienteering maps are one of the very few types of maps that have the same specifications all over the world. Orienteering maps are special, because to make them suitable for orienteering the map makers have to be familiar not only with the map specifications, but also with the rules and traditions of the sport. The early period of orienteering maps was the age of homemade maps. Maps were made by orienteers using available tourist or topographic maps and only after the availability of cheaper reproduction techniques started the process of special field- working. The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) was formed in 1961. The Map Commission (MC) of the IOF has introduced different specifications for the official disciplines (before 2000 the ski-orienteering and foot-orienteering were the only official disciplines). The last version of the specification, the International Standard for Orienteering Maps (ISOM) was published in 2000 and included specifications for foot- orienteering, ski-orienteering, mountain-bike orienteering. A new format, the sprint competition, required new map specifications (ISSOM) which were finalized and published in 2007. The aim of orienteering map specifications is to provide rules that can accommodate many different types of terrain around the world and various forms of orienteering. We can use the experience of the official disciplines for developing new specifications: the official disciplines and formats were developed in the past 30 years (most of them are even newer).

  • The Science of Paddling, Pt. 1

    The Science of Paddling, Pt. 1

    The Science of Paddling, Part 1 Shawn Burke, Ph.D. ([email protected]) As an engineer I find paddling not only fun, but technically fascinating. Spending hours at a time on the ergometer banking hours for the General Clinton 70-miler has given me time to ponder why canoes do what they do (and to contemplate why I’m so slow, but that’s another story). This is the first of what could turn out to be a multi-part series on the science underlying paddling, where we consider topics of (hopefully) general interest in paddling physics, exercise physiology, and materials technology. So, here goes… Q: Why Isn’t a C-2 Twice as Fast as a C-1? I mean all you tandem paddlers have, well, two paddlers. So why aren’t you twice as fast as me in my C-1? Our canoes move through the water as the result of force we apply through our paddles, with reaction forces transmitted through our bodies into the hull via our torso and legs. This is an embodiment of Newton’s Third Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The water exerts a retarding force against the hull known as drag that is constantly trying to slow us down. While the details are rather complex, requiring that one solve vector nonlinear partial differential equations, drag can be considered far more intuitively as just a force that resists our efforts in linear proportion to velocity at very low speeds, and as a power of velocity at higher speeds.
