Tripartite Invitation Places
Games of the XXXI Olympiad, Rio 2016 Olympic Games Tripartite Commission Invitation Places Allocation Procedure and Regulations (Hereinafter the “Regulations”) PREAMBLE Qualification systems are the rules established by IFs, in consultation with the IOC, which consist of rules, procedures and criteria for participation in the competitions of the Olympic Games. They are established to give a fair and equal opportunity for the best athletes in the world to participate in the Olympic Games, as well as to ensure universal representation. Universality, as specified in the Olympic Charter, is a fundamental aspect of the Olympic Games. The principle of universality is reflected in the qualification systems through the continental representation of athletes and teams. The IOC also seeks to provide additional opportunities with the allocation of Tripartite Commission Invitation Places (hereafter the “Invitation Places”) through the Olympic Games Tripartite Commission (IOC / ANOC / ASOIF) for the Olympic Games (hereafter the “Commission”). 1. OBJECTIVES, COMPOSITION AND COMPETENCE OF THE COMMISSION A. Objectives The objective of the Commission is to manage the allocation procedure for Invitation Places offering the opportunity to NOCs, which have traditionally sent small delegations to the Olympic Games, to be represented at the next edition of the Games. A further objective of the Commission is contribute to enhancing and reflecting universality by selecting athletes from such NOCs, which are unable to qualify, so that they may have an opportunity to be invited to compete in sports and disciplines for which Invitation Places have been reserved. B. Composition The Commission is composed of a representative from the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), a representative from the International Federations (IFs) and a representative from the IOC.

Guide to Sport Invention3
THE INSTITUTE FOR AESTHLETICS GUIDE TO SPORT INVENTION! Hello! If you are reading this you have had the unfortunate pleasure to sit through an Institute for Aesthletics workshop on sport design! Now you must read through this resource packet! We here at the Institute do not believe so much in formal thought so we will try to keep this packet as useful and unlaborious as possible. That being said, we have many helpful insights on sport design that we would love to share with you. Since we may have reviewed many of these pointers, this guide both serves as a refresher and also expands on some ideas only touched on at the workshop. Introduction Why Invent New Sports? Why would you invent a new sport when there are already so many great sports out there like Underwater Ice Hockey, Wife Carrying, and Volleyball? The list is endless! So what is the point when we already have these great games? Well, the thing is, while it is great to be able to just go outside and play a sport like ski jumping or synchronized swimming without having to “invent” anything, the labor of making up a game is actually worthwhile and fun. To see how fun and, gasp, how educational sport invention is, we can turn to the foremost experts of sport inventors: children. Children invent sports all the time, at least they used to before Play Station. When I was a young lad, growing up in the hardscrabble streets of an upper middle class Brooklyn neighborhood, we were forced to make up our own fun.

Sports and Disability
Focused Review Sports and Disability Pamela E. Wilson, MD, Gerald H. Clayton, PhD Abstract: Participation in recreational and competitive sports at an early age has long been touted as a positive influence on growth and development, and for fostering lifelong healthy lifestyles. The benefits of an active lifestyle include not only fitness, but the promotion of a sense of inclusion and improved self-esteem. These benefits are well documented in all populations, and their importance has been summarized in the recent Healthy People 2010 guidelines. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recently produced a summary state- ment on the benefits of activity for disabled children. They note that children with disabilities tend to have an overall lower level of fitness and an increased level of obesity. For this population, developing a lifelong desire to be active can be a simple means for limiting illness and much of the morbidity associated with sedentary lifestyles often associated with disability. For disabled youth, participation in disabled sports programs available nationally and internationally can be an effective means to promote such precepts. The goal of this focused review is to improve the learner’s knowledge of the positive impact that active lifestyles can have on overall health in the disabled youth population and, as a result, modify their practice by incorporating recreational and competitive sport activities as part of improving overall patient care. PM R 2010;2:S46-S54 INTRODUCTION In examining the impact that sports and recreation can have on habilitation and rehabilita- tion, consider a very talented young athlete who woke up one morning unable to move her lower extremities.
