BLM Statement Final Branded
Sport and recreation sector commit to tackling inequality The appalling death of George Floyd, the global protests that have followed and the powerful message of the Black Lives Matter movement has made every section of society take notice and confront an ugly truth. Sport and recreation has an influential role to bring about meaningful change and this period has rightly led the sector to reflect, listen, question, learn and openly discuss how to take positive action. It is acknowledged that up to this point, we have not done enough. It is time to confront racism and inequality that exists across sport, from grassroots participation through to the boardroom. Research by the Sport and Recreation Alliance (2018) showed that four in ten (40%) of BAME participants have endured a negative experience in sport or physical activity settings, more than double that of white participants. A 2020 Sport England report demonstrates that just over 50% of black people in England meet the recommended levels of physical activity each week. The Diversity in Sport Governance report (2018/19) identified there is only 5% BAME board representation across Sport England and UK Sport funded organisations. Constructive work has already been started to address a number of these problems including a committed effort to increase boardroom diversity, additional funding to tackle inequality and an array of inspiring inclusiveness projects from across the sport and recreation sector. This can only be seen as the start. Systemic change must be made at all levels so that we can become truly reflective of our wonderfully diverse society. We can no longer rely on black role models at the elite level speaking out, we must join together to become better and to support every member of the sport and recreation community. -
Stiffness Variation in Hockey Sticks and the Impact on Stick Performance

Stiffness variation in hockey sticks and the impact on stick performance Graeme Nigel Carlisle Submitted with corrections for the degree of Masters of Research – Science and Engineering of Materials August 2011 Multiple sectioned shafts of carbon fibre composite were modelled using Composite Design Analysis software in order to replicate the range of flexural rigidities shown across the current field hockey stick market. The shafts were then manufactured using hand lay-up and hot-pressing techniques, tested under static and dynamic conditions and the goodness of their relationship with the modelled behaviour was assessed. The shafts were also analysed microscopically for volume fraction, ply-orientation and the interaction between the varied lay-up sections. The modelling gave a good understanding of the trend of behaviour that was to be expected, but was not accurate enough to predict experimental values. -

Variations in the Field Hockey Swing Explained by The
VARIATIONS IN THE FIELD HOCKEY SWING EXPLAINED BY THE KINEMATIC SEQUENCE By ANDREA DAVARO B.S., University of Colorado Colorado Springs, 2015 A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in the partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sciences Department of Biology 2018 © 2018 Copyright by Andrea Davaro All Rights Reserved This thesis for the Master of Sciences degree by Andrea Davaro has been approved for the Department of Biology by Jeffrey Broker, Chair Robert Jacobs Jay Dawes 5/7/2018 Date ii Davaro, Andrea (MSc., Biology) Variations in the field hockey swing explained by the kinematic sequence Thesis directed by Associate Professor Jeffrey P. Broker ABSTRACT Attempts to biomechanically analyze field hockey swings have been sparse. More so, the degree to which proximal-distal kinematic sequencing is expressed in field hockey swings is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine if kinematic sequencing is incorporated into field hockey swings, and to evaluate segmental contributions to stick speed across two swing types: classic grip and choke-grip drives. Kinematic data were collected on 10 high-level field hockey players (5 males and 5 females). Pelvis, thorax, arms and stick kinematics were quantified (3-axis rotations and translations), using a 12 sensor, 240 Hz, Polhemus-based AMM 3D Motion Analysis System (Phoenix, AZ). Subjects hit 10 to 15 shots of each swing type into a net, and provided feedback regarding the quality of their swings. Good and very good swings for each subject were analyzed. Of 37 classic grip swings analyzed, average stick head velocity was 72.4 +/- 11.6 mph, and 37.8% of the swings demonstrated the standard proximal to distal downswing sequence of pelvis, thorax, arm, and then the stick (expressed as rotational velocities). -

Defeating the Undead
oonn RRiiccee’’ss GGuuiidde JJoohhnnsstt e ttoo TIINNGG TTHHEE UUN DDEEFFEEAAT NDDEEAADD Congratulations on still being human! The first rule of the Zombie Chasers is that we do not speak about the Zombie Chasers…. Just kidding! It’s pretty simple, dudes: The first real rule is to steer clear of the living dead! Duh! If they bite you, you’ll totally turn into a messed-up looking freak, just like Zoe did. KNOW THY ENEMY: It could be your creepy next-door neighbor, the weirdo cashier at the mini-mart, or even your own mom and dad. But don’t be fooled, there’s no such thing as a nice zombie. A. How to Spot ’Em: Do you see the guy limping around like he just sprained both ankles? Can you hear him grunting and snarling? Do you smell that odor: kinda like hot garbage and rotten eggs? It’s not your grandpa. It’s a zombie! B. The Zombie Diet: You! And your braaaains! C. How They Hunt: Because of their supersonic hearing and brain-gobbling instincts, they can home in on their next meal, which unfortunately is in your skull. STRATEGY & TACTICS: There’s just one: knock ’em out cold and then run away as fast as you can! This is not about pride, people. It’s about survival. You’re gonna need a weapon, too. A baseball bat is Zack’s fave, but I prefer the field-hockey stick. My pal Ozzie uses these awesome nunchucks to take down mad zombies at a time—BAP, BAP, BAP—it’s so cool! Zoe’s weapon is her face! SUPPLIES: Proper nourishment is a must. -
