  • The Height Production Function from Birth to Early Adulthood∗
    The Height Production Function from Birth to Early Adulthood∗ Elisabetta De Caoy University of Rome \Tor Vergata" CEIS Working Paper, April 2010 Abstract In this paper I specify a height production function in order to study the determinants of height from birth to early adulthood in the Philippines. I use a rich longitudinal data set on Filipino children born in 1983 and followed for more than 20 years. The structure of the production function allows height to be the result of the accumulation of inputs over time. The results show that inputs from conception to birth are relevant at each age of the children. Nutrition inputs have a positive but small effect on the child's height. The shorter the distance between the age when the nutrition input is applied and the age when height is measured, the higher the impact on height. The younger the child, the bigger the impact. The earlier disease inputs are experienced, the stronger their negative effect on height. The older the child, the stronger the effects of past diseases. ∗I would like to thank my supervisor, Franco Peracchi for his patience and excellent advice. I thank Jere Behrman for his precious comments. I also thank Kenneth Wolpin, Petra Todd and Flavio Cunha for their helpful suggestions. I thank Linda Adair and the Cebu team for the data and constant help. Special thanks to Nicola Barban for his continous support and encouragement. I also thank the empirical micro club participants at the University of Pennsylvania (academic year 2008-2009), in particular Shalini Roy, Nirav Mehta and Seth Richards, for their valuable help.

Although this work was originally inspired by an investigation into the causes of mortality decline in North America, it soon became apparent that the historical analysis of hu- man height could offer new insights into the long-running controversy over the standard of living during the industrial revolution, and the techniques devel- oped during these investigations were also applied to debates over the demo- graphic impact of the First World War and the impact of the interwar recession (Fogel et al. 1978; Floud, Wachter, and Gregory 1990; Harris 1988, 1993). The most comprehensive account of long-term trends in the height of the British population was provided by Roderick Floud, Kenneth Wachter, and Annabel Gregory, but their work has since been challenged and extended by a long list of other authors (see, e.g., Komlos 1993a, 1993b, 1993~;Mokyr and 0 Gr6da 1994; Nicholas and Steckel 1991; Nicholas and Oxley 1993; Riggs 1994).

  • Vision Testing and Visual Training in Sport
    VISION TESTING AND VISUAL TRAINING IN SPORT by LUKE WILKINS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines vision testing and visual training in sport. Through four related studies, the predictive ability of visual and perceptual tests was examined in a range of activities including driving and one-handed ball catching. The potential benefits of visual training methods were investigated (with particular emphasis on stroboscopic training), as well as the mechanisms that may underpin any changes. A key theme throughout the thesis was that of task representativeness; a concept by which it is believed the more a study design reflects the environment it is meant to predict, the more valid and reliable the results obtained are. Chapter one is a review of the literature highlighting the key areas which the thesis as a whole addresses. Chapter’s two to five include the studies undertaken in this thesis and follow the same format each time; an introduction to the relevant research, a methods section detailing the experimental procedure, a results section which statistically analysed the measures employed, and a discussion of the findings with reference to the existing literature.

SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.

  • Height and Reproductive Success: Is Bigger Always Better?
    Height and reproductive success: is bigger always better? Rebecca Sear Department of Social Policy London School of Economics Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE UK Email: [email protected] Phone: +44 (0)20 7955 7348 Abstract Height is of great interest to the general public and academics alike. It is an easily observable and easily measurable characteristic, and one which appears to be correlated with a number of salient outcomes, from survival to intelligence to employment and marriage prospects. It is also of interest to evolutionary biologists, as the end product of life history decisions made during the period of growth. Such decisions will depend at least partly on the payoffs to size in adulthood. This chapter surveys the costs and benefits of height during adulthood: what are the consequences of height in terms of mortality rate, mating success and fertility outcomes for each sex, and how much do these differ between environments? It is clear from this survey that relationships between height and fitness correlates show considerable variation between populations, suggesting that the costs and benefits of height depend on environmental conditions. If any tentative conclusion can be drawn it is that while short height is rarely advantageous, particularly for men, tall height is not universally beneficial, particularly for women. We can also conclude that height is clearly still salient for fitness correlates in modern environments, thereby demonstrating that we are yet to leave our biological imperative behind. 1. Introduction Height is a topic of great interest to academics and the general public alike. It is an easily observable and easily measurable characteristic, perhaps explaining its popularity in both academic research and popular culture.
