Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

  • Basic Land Drills for Swimming Stroke Acquisition
    LAND DRILLS FOR SWIMMING Published in “JTRM in Kinesiology” an online peer-reviewed research and practice journal - May 22, 2014 Running Head: LAND DRILLS FOR SWIMMING Basic Land Drills for Swimming Stroke Acquisition Peng Zhang East Stroudsburg University 1 LAND DRILLS FOR SWIMMING Abstract Teaching swimming strokes can be a challenging task in physical education. The purpose of the article is to introduce 12 on land drills that can be utilized to facilitate the learning of swimming strokes, including elementary back stroke, sidestroke, front crawl, back stroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Each drill consists of four components (ready position; movement criteria; recommended practice time; and critical cues) which provide not only detailed descriptions of the drill but also pedagogical knowledge to optimize learning outcomes. Four recommendations are offered in the end of the paper to enhance the safety, effectiveness, and enjoyment facts associated with the applications of the drills. 2 LAND DRILLS FOR SWIMMING Swimming is one of the healthiest physical activities for individuals to enjoy across the life span (Hiens, 2008). Research shows that swimming has an exceedingly positive effect on the functioning of the heart and lungs (Bíró, Fügedi, & Révész, 2007). It improves overall blood circulation and helps maintain healthy muscles, bones, and joints (Magno & Mascardo, 2009). Swimming, from a psychosocial perspective, can strengthen self- confidence, improve general state of mind and endurance, reduce stress levels, and enhance the ability to sleep soundly (Graćanin, Medjedović, Mekić, Mavrić, & Obreslikov, 2012; Hiens, 2008). Although swimming is a popular activity with multiple health benefits, learning swimming strokes can be a challenging task.

  • How to Use Performance Management to Gauge Marketing Investment What My Son’S Swimming Experience Taught Me About the Importance of Performance Measurement
    Putting the science into your casino marketing. How to Use Performance Management to Gauge Marketing Investment What my son’s swimming experience taught me about the importance of performance measurement Az Husain December 19, 2016 My 12-year-old son, Gil, started competitive swimming this year. As a data guy, I look at my son’s swimming activity under a different lens than most parents. I try to find meaning in all of the swim data: start time, intermediate time, finish time, improvement time, placement, aggregate swimmer times, etc. Prior to Gil’s first swim meet, I knew his best event would be the 50m breaststroke. His weakest event would be the 50m butterfly. So, in my mind, I had set my assumptions on Gil’s performance. Sure enough, he excelled at the breaststroke. But, to my surprise, he also performed well in the butterfly. The data also showed an unexpected problem. So, what happened? Putting the science into your casino marketing. At the start of Gil’s 50m butterfly, he entered the water in a weak position. He was last off of the starting block, and didn’t jump out far enough. His time underwater before breaking to the surface was short, which meant he needed to start into his stroke sooner, which is a disadvantage. (Off the block swimmers try to stay underwater as long as possible to maximize their start speed before surfacing.) I was already thinking that a slow start along with a weak stroke would likely mean a finish close to the bottom. But, to my surprise, Gil made up the time and finished 3rd.
