  • Prevention of Sports Injuries in Sri Lanka: What Do We Know About Injuries in Our Athletes?
    Gamage J.P. et al. SLJSEM, 2019/2020, 2:1 DOI: http://doi.org/10.4038/sljsem.v2i1.12 REVIEW ARTICLE Prevention of sports injuries in Sri Lanka: what do we know about injuries in our athletes? Prasanna J. Gamage1, Alex Kountouris2, Caroline F. Finch1, Lauren V. Fortington1 Abstract In terms of safeguarding the health and well-being of athletes in Sri Lanka, a primary focus has always been toward the treatment of injuries after they have occurred and promoting rehabilitation back into sport. There has been little attention towards the primary prevention of injuries in Sri Lankan sports. As a developing sporting nation, the benefits of injury prevention are immense: from a public health and financial perspective, through to individual benefits for athletes’ physical, psychological and social health. Understanding the reasons behind the lack of motive towards sports injury prevention in the country, and challenges in developing and implementing injury prevention measures in the field is useful so that these reasons can be addressed and overcome. Based on recent experience in conducting injury prevention research among Sri Lankan junior cricketers, this article discusses injury prevention principles in sport and provides directions for future sport injury prevention research in Sri Lanka. Keywords: Injury prevention, Cricket, Athletic injuries Introduction In addition to the health benefits, participation in The prevalence of overweight and obese sports and physical activity comes with abundant individuals has increased over the last three social and psychological benefits [3]. This is true decades, and is projected to rise to an estimated particularly for adolescent and youth, as social 58% of the world's adult population by 2030 [1].

  • Managing Olympic Sport Organisations
    Managing Olympic Sport Organisations MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Editor Leigh Robinson 002 FOREWORD MANAGING OLYMPIC SPORT ORGANISATIONS Foreword reinforce NOC structures and global management capacities, Olympic Solidarity offers educational training opportunities such as the Advanced Sport Management Courses (ASMC), of which Managing Olympic Sport Organisations is the base textbook. Through these courses, Olympic Solidarity supports the concept of a learning community in which NOCs’ main stakeholders – athletes, coaches, managers – learn from each other and interact in line with the objectives and interests of the Olympic Movement. Sport needs the expertise of well-educated and dedicated sports managers. This is why I encourage all those who delve into Managing Olympic Sport Organisations to study each of the topics with a view to strengthening the role of the Olympic Movement – and especially the role of the NOCs and their affiliated members. Everyone in the Olympic Movement has a shared responsibility to be as fully prepared as possible to shape the future of sport and build solidarity within our communities and around the world. This is even more true today. As this updated 003 version of Managing Olympic Sport Organisations goes to print, the world is in the midst of an unprecedented global crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic. The uncertain times we are going More than ever before, sport is an essential part of through are a stark reminder that we need symbols our modern, diverse society – which is more global of hope and inspiration more than ever. Sport is and changing more rapidly than at any previous intrinsically connected to promoting peace and time in history.

  • Strength and Conditioning in Sri Lankan Sports;
    GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021 ISSN 2320-9186 858 GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021, Online: ISSN 2320-9186 www.globalscientificjournal.com Strength and Conditioning in Sri Lankan Sports; Fulfilling a high performance Need Duminda Silva-Doctoral Student of University Of Kelaniya ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of strength and conditioning interventions on sports for high performance in Sri Lanka. Training for strength and conditioning is a standard occurrence in any sport that seeks to improve performance or prevent injuries. Studies on the impact of strength and conditioning on athletic results, however, are scarce; the effect of age, gender or level of competition is even scarcer. Existing studies conducted by Sri Lankan researchers do not include research on strength and conditioning which has resulted in a knowledge gap and a lack of qualified coaches, lack in knowledge of players and lack in knowledge of the sports management. Further it gives importance and prominence to sports specific skills and less importance to physical fitness area when it comes to team selection. Hence players and coaches give less emphasis to strength and conditioning in all levels of sport in Sri Lanka. Due to these reasons, strength and conditioning is in a very primitive stage in Sri Lankan sports. If Sri Lanka is to win another medal in the Olympic level or at world level, prominence should be given to strength and conditioning to achieve high performance. KEYWORDS: High Performance, Strengthen and Conditioning, Sports, Prevent Injury 1 | Page GSJ© 2021 www.globalscientificjournal.com GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2021 ISSN 2320-9186 859 INTRODUCTION Strength and conditioning training and sports pacific training should go hand in hand in order to achieve high performance in any sport.

  • Gautama Buddha Was Born in Helabima 2
    1 2 Gautama Buddha was born in Helabima (Volume II) The English translation of අපඋපන් මේ මෙළ�ම �뷔න් උපන් ජන්�뷊Ǔපය (මෙලන ම ොටස) (This Helabima, where we were born, is Janbudveepa, the birth place of the Lord Buddha) Introduction 3 This is the second volume of the book අප උපන් මේ මෙළ�ම�뷔න් උපන් ජන්�뷊Ǔපය what I published 16 months ago. It is a must to be fulfilled by all of us, as the people who are born in this Helabima and live in this Helabima, to read, analyze and understand the absolute truth highlighted in this book. Every human being is having the mental freedom of speaking the truth, writing about the truth and recording them for the future use. After reading most of the things mentioned in this book, you will experience a total new, different understanding in Dhamma which is not going hand in hand with the opinions what you knew all this times and what you had learnt following the conventional thinking, systems and methodologies. Buddha Dhamma stands for “Penetrating in to Paramartha Dhamma through the traditions”. What you read in books and learnt from someone is the tradition, the conventional thinking. They are nothing but guessings that you have experienced based on what you heard, saw and learnt. You should penetrate in to what you learnt on traditions and based on them you should see the absolute truth. Seeing the absolute truth is limited purely to you yourself. Seeing the absolute truth for you, cannot be done by someone else.

Due to budgetary constraints and relative internal political stability, Botswana had relied on a small paramilitary force called the Police Mobile Unit (PMU) since the early 1960s for all defence – related issues. By the late 1970s, the sharp escalation of the struggle for Zimbabwe resulted in cross – border incursions by Rhodesian security forces who were pursuing armed freedom fighters.
