Introduction I. 1. The Motivation and the Purpose of the Study 2017 Summer Universiade took place in Taipei, and many people followed it closely. It was the third time that Taiwan hosted an important international sports event after The World Games 2009 and The 21st Summer Deaflympics. During the course of the Universiade events, everyone in Taiwan was actively involved, such as watching TV broadcasts, buying tickets to spectate on the scene, and cheering on the players or teams they admired. All of us without exception were immersed in the lively atmosphere. In the process of watching these events, we were inspired to find out what influences that Summer Universiade would bring to the young people. The Summer Universiade is known as the “Little Summer Olympics,” it “incorporates educational and cultural aspects, encouraging student-athletes from around the world to combine high sports performance with their intellectual pursuits.” (FISU, 2018) The 2017 Summer Universiade is the largest international sports event ever held in Taiwan. The host city Taipei put a large sum of money and efforts into it, even building a new player village for it. With the biggest expectation of letting the world see Taiwan, the 2017 Summer Universiade was also of great significance in uniting the hearts of Taiwanese people. Therefore, we would like to know whether the 29th Summer Universiade has influenced Taiwan’s development and cultural changes, especially its impact on the young people. We are wondering whether a blood-boiling summer has left a deep memory for the young, raised their passion for sports, and increased Taiwan's international popularity. I. 2. Research Questions The research questions proposed in this study are as follows. RQ1. Have people paid more attention to sports because of the 2017 Summer Universiade? RQ2. Has the 2017 Summer Universiade promoted adolescent’ passion for sports? RQ3. Has the 2017 Summer Universiade increased Taiwan's international reputation? II. Methods II. 1. Participants There were 120 subjects. Some of them are students in Hsi-Hu Senior High School, and the others are college students. Participants included 20 college students and 100 senior high students. Girls accounted for 26.7% of the subjects, and boys 73.3%. 1 Adolescents’ Points of View on the 2017 Summer Universiade II. 2 Instrument In order to know young people’s views about what effects the 2017 Summer Universiade has caused, we created a questionnaire as the instrument of the study. The 10 questions in this questionnaire were all designed by us. Besides personal profile, the questionnaire is divided into three aspects. The first part is to what extent young people are concerned about the 2017 Summer Universiade. The second is to what degree the 2017 Summer Universiade has changed young people’s exercise habit. The last is adolescents’ opinions about the influences that the 2017 Summer Universiade has brought on Taiwan’s international reputation. Part I To what extent young people are concerned about the 2017 Summer Universiade 1. Do you pay more attention to Taiwanese athletes because of the 2017 Summer Universiade? 2. Have you actually been to the scene to watch the athletes play? 3. Do you get to understanding more of the rules of a certain sport because of the Universiade? Part II To what degree the 2017 Summer Universiade has changed adolescents’ exercise habit 4. Do you increase the frequency of exercise in a week because of the Universiade? 5. Do you increase the time of exercise in a week because of the Universiade? 6. Have you ever bought any products endorsed by the athletes? 7. Following the previous question, which products have you bought? Part III Adolescents’ opinions about the influences the 2017 Summer Universiade has brought on Taiwan’s international reputation. 8. Do you think that more foreigners have known about Taiwan through the international media report of the 2017 Summer Universiade? 9. Do you think that the 2017 Summer Universiade has let the foreign athletes have a chance to know more about the culture of Taiwan? 10. Have you ever seen any posts about the 2017 Summer Universiade shared or forwarded by foreigners on the social media? II. 3 Data Processing We first conducted a paper questionnaire survey and then entered the data into Excel. Afterwards, the results were converted into pie or bar charts for us to analyze and present. III. Results and Discussion 2 Adolescents’ Points of View on the 2017 Summer Universiade III. 1. To what extent young people are concerned about the 2017 Summer Universiade Based on Figure 1, over half of the teenagers (61%) have shown concern for Taiwanese athletes due to the 2017 Summer Universiade. Among them, 38% of the subjects agree that they pay more attention to Taiwanese athletes because of the 2017 Summer Universiade, and 23% of the subjects totally agree. This may show that the 2017 Summer Universiade has made more Taiwanese athletes able to come to the fore and be seen by the world. Neutral 32% Disagree 4% Totally disagree 3% Agree Totally agree 38% 23% Figure 1 Do you pay more attention to Taiwanese athletes because of the 2017 Summer Universiade? (N=120) According to the results of Figure 2, most of the young people have not been to the scene to watch the competition although the event has been an overwhelming victory. However, there are still a few teenagers who have been there at least once to watch the games. 4 times and above 1 1~3 times 15 0 times 104 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Number of subjects Figure 2 Have you actually been to the scene to watch the athletes play? (N=120) In Figure 3, nearly 40% of teenage students (38%) said they have got to understand the rules of a certain sport because of the 2017 Summer Universiade. One of the possible goals of the event might have been achieved to a certain degree. The earlier a person is infected with the atmosphere of the sport, the better their exercise spirit can be developed. Although 22% of teens still don't know 3 Adolescents’ Points of View on the 2017 Summer Universiade more about the rules of the sport in the 2017 Summer Universiade, but this result has been a great encouragement for the first-time host city. Disagree Neutral 14% 40% Totally disagree 8% Agree Totally agree 32% 6% Figure 3 Do you get to understanding more of the rules of a certain sport because of the Universiade? (N=120) III. 2. To what degree the 2017 Summer Universiade has changed adolescents’ exercise habit In accordance with Figure 4 and 5, only a few people hence increase their frequency and time of exercise in a week. From these statistics, we can find that though adolescents are more concerned about sports owing to the 2017 Summer Universiade, most young people just change their way of looking at sports instead of making actual related actions. This also shows that the promotion of sports by the Universiade has not been shown clearly in adolescents. 4 times and above added 0 15 1~3 times added 105 No impact 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Number of subjects Figure 4 Do you increase the frequency of exercise in a week because of the Universiade? (N=120) 4 Adolescents’ Points of View on the 2017 Summer Universiade No impact 107 1~30 minutes added 1 31 minutes and above added 12 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Number of subjects Figure 5 Do you increase the time of exercise in a week because of the Universiade? (N=120) In the light of Figure 6, it is clear that almost 90% of people do not buy sporting goods endorsed by athletes. Although it is obvious that the Universiade successful captured people’s attention, the adolescents are still rational enough to distinguish between what they need and what is useful. Yes 5 No 115 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Number of subjects Figure 6 Have you ever bought any products endorsed by the athletes? (N=120) From Figure 7, it shows that some participants have bought the ball, others have purchased clothes, and the others have bought shoes. 5 Adolescents’ Points of View on the 2017 Summer Universiade 7 6 5 4 3 3 2 2 Number subjects of Number 2 1 0 ball clothes sneakers Figure 7 Following the previous question, which products have you bought? (N=5) (Multiple answers allowed) III. 3. Adolescents’ opinions about the influences the 2017 Summer Universiade has brought on Taiwan’s international reputation. Judging from Figure 8, it can be seen that nearly 90% of people agree with this view. So, it could be interpreted that the 2017 Summer Universiade has enough promotion to attract foreigners to pay close attention to Taiwan on account of the international sports event. And there is no doubt that Taiwan’s international reputation has been raised. Totally agree 46 Agree 60 Neutral 13 Disagree 1 Totally disagree 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Number of subjects Figure 8 Do you think that more foreigners have known about Taiwan through the international media report of the 2017 Summer Universiade? (N=120) On the basis of Figure 9, it is revealed that most of the subjects think the 2017 Summer Universiade gave a chance to foreign athletes to know more about the culture of Taiwan. It 6 Adolescents’ Points of View on the 2017 Summer Universiade represents that the event not only put emphasis on sports, but also certainly had a positive influence on cultural aspect.

  • February 2007 I Just Returned from an Exciting Ten Days in Salt Lake City at the 16Th Winter Deaflympics (Deaf Olympics). I Coor
    February 2007 I just returned from an exciting ten days in Salt Lake City at the 16th Winter Deaflympics (Deaf Olympics). I coordinated the volunteer massage therapists for the Games. This was a perfect opportunity for me to utilize skills from both of my professions, as I have been a sign language interpreter for more than twenty years, and a massage therapist in private practice for almost three years. The Deaflympics began as the International Silent Games in Paris in 1924 and has become the largest international sporting event behind the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee officially recognized the Deaflympics in 1955. Deaf people, because they could not hear starting guns, whistles, and the like, could not compete fairly with hearing people at the Olympics. And, because the IOC considers them able-bodied, they were not allowed to participate in the Paralympics. As a result, the Deaflympics were given official status. Deaf athletes, by organizing their own Games, can also enjoy easy communication with each other, even if they come from other countries. Many countries' sign languages share some linguistic features with each other. Many foreign deaf people coming to the U.S. know at least some American Sign Language, so that plus the use of gestures, and the mere desire to communicate makes it rather easy to hold conversations with deaf people from all over the world! The Deaflympics is one way international friendships begin and a great way to strengthen one's sense of pride in Deaf culture. Salt Lake City, the location of the 2002 Winter Olympics, has the infrastructure in place to easily accommodate hundreds of participants, volunteers, and fans.

  • CHAPTER-4 Physical Education and Sports for CWSN
    CHAPTER-4 Physical Education and Sports for CWSN (Children with Special Needs) 4.1 AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION Adapted Physical Education is a science of developing, implementing, and monitoring a designed physical education instructional programme for an individual with a disability, based on a comprehensive assessment, to give the learner the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich recreation, leisure and sport experiences to increase physical fitness and wellness. Adapted physical education is physical education that is individualized and specially designed to address the needs of students with disabilities who require adaptations or modifications to be physically active, participate safely, and make progress toward the standards for Health, Safety, and Physical Education. In simple words, we can say the physical education program designed for individuals with disabilities is called adapted physical education. The program is adapted to meet the needs of each student through modifications and accommodations. According to Auxter, D., Pyfer, J. & Huettig, C. “ Adapted physical education is the art and science of developing and implementing a carefully designed physical education instructional program for an individual with a disability, based on a comprehensive assessment, to give the individual the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich leisure, recreation, and sport experiences”. Adapted physical education is used to emphasise the importance of understanding the scientific bases of human development as it bring into relations to teaching appropriate concepts and practices in the adapted physical education program which will serve to maximize the quality of life among individuals with disabilities. Adapted physical education is clear that practices that influencing exercise, fitness, diet and nutritional status can significantly impact the quality and duration of life of an individuals with disabilities.

This document, either in whole or in part, must not be reproduced or disclosed to others without the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf’s approval. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Foreword Deaflympics is an exciting, vibrant and fast-growing sporting event which is accessible to those of almost every age, gender and physical capacity. International Committee of Sport for the Deaf (ICSD) oversees this prestigious event which has 104 member countries from all over the world and has many hundreds of thousands of individual adherents or athletes, coaches, officials worldwide. The underpinning of Deaflympics is in the Olympic movement of the world and this base level of participation provides a boundless source for our competitive and fast-pacing sporting event. It is still puzzling then to many observers, as to why Deaflympics and its recognised governing body, ICSD/CISS have not still been embraced more broadly by Olympics, Paralympics and other sporting organisations and the sporting public and media. The answer to this is myopia – the ICSD rested on the laurels of the inherent pluses of our prestigious Deaf Sporting events and therefore needs to act proactively in order to establish the distribution of diplomatic channels, media & marketing activities, leadership & partnership development programmes and infrastructure bases which are necessary to further determine our position and product.

  • Talent Identification and Development in Elite Youth Disability Sport Barrie Houlihan and Pippa Chapman
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository Talent identification and development in elite youth disability sport Barrie Houlihan and Pippa Chapman Corresponding author: Professor Barrie Houlihan School of Sport, Exercise & Health Sciences Loughborough University Loughborough, LE11 3TU (T) ++(0)1509 226364 (E) [email protected] 1 Talent identification and development in elite youth disability sport Two of the most significant developments in elite sport in the last thirty years have been the increasing profile of youth sport and of disability sport. While some sports, such as rowing and golf, have had junior world championships since the late 1960s it is in the last thirty or so years that the growth in international elite events aimed at juniors/youth has been most rapid. FIFA, the world federation for football, held the first under 16 World Cup in 1985, the International Triathlon Union began organising events for juniors who can be as young as 14, in the late 1990s and the FINA, the international federation for swimming, held the first world junior swimming championships (girls 14-17 and boys 15-18) in 2006. The increase in the number of single sport competitions has been complemented by a similar expansion in the number of international multi-sport youth events such as the Maccabi Youth Games (first held in 1982), the Commonwealth Youth Games (2000), the Australian Youth Olympic Festival for 13-19 year olds (2001) and the Youth Olympic Games (2010). While much of the recent increase in the number of international sports events has been driven by the demand from the media for more sports products to broadcast this is unlikely to be a significant explanation in relation to youth sports competitions as there is little evidence of interest in youth events, even the Youth Olympic Games, among broadcasters.
