  • Sport Development in Kuwait: Perception of Stakeholders On
    SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN KUWAIT: PERCEPTION OF STAKEHOLDERS ON THE SIGNIFICANCE AND DELIVERY OF SPORT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Badi Aldousari, M.A. * * * * * 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Dr. Donna Pastore __________________________ Advisor Dr. Janet Fink College of Education ABSTRACT The current study analyzed the perceptions of 402 stakeholders of Kuwaiti sport regarding the importance of three domains of sport (i.e., mass sport, elite sport, and commercial sport), and the relative emphases to be placed on each of these domains. The respondents were also asked to indicate the organizational forms (public, nonprofit, profit, public-nonprofit combine, and public-profit combine) best suited to deliver related sport services in the country. The stakeholder groups were administrators of federations (n = 57), administrators of clubs (n = 80), administrators of youth centers (n = 50), coaches of clubs (n = 78), coaches of youth centers (n = 57), and elite athletes (n = 70). The gender distribution of the respondents was 355 males and 47 females. They ranged in age from 19 years to 70 years for a mean of 39 years. The statistical procedures included exploratory principal component analysis, computation of Cronbach’s alpha, multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) followed by univariate analyses (ANOVA), and chi square analyses. The results provided support for the subscale structure of survey instrument modified from Cuellar (2003). Further analyses indicated that the six groups were almost unanimous in considering elite sport as more critical than the other two domains of sport.

    NOC President in the 74th OCA EB Meeting ۱۰:۵۲ - ۱۳۹۹/۰۹/۲۶ Dr. Seyed Reza Salehi Amiri, President of Iran National Olympic Committee took part in the 74th Meeting of the OCA (Olympic Council of Asia) Executive Board. Iran NOC; Tehran: At the beginning of the meeting, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Fahd Al-Sabah, President of the Olympic Council of Asia, welcomed the members present at the meeting and a number of members who virtually attended the meeting due to Covid19 pandemic and travel restrictions. The first part of the meeting was dedicated to the introduction of the Vice President and the new member of the Executive Board. Otabek Umarov from Uzbekistan became Vice-President of the Executive Board of the OCA. Ms. Mika Katoni, from Japan Olympic Commitee was re-elected as the new Chair of the Athletes' Commission, which she had previously held. The approval of the General Assembly's plans for the next meeting, which included a description of the plans, was another issue raised at the 74 th session of the OCA, with which the members agreed. Also in the next section, the members of the Finance Commission presented the audit report from 2019 and 2020 until now, which was approved by all present members and members who participated virtually. The next part was to determine the host of the next round of the Executive Board of the Asian Olympic Council. In this regard, Sheikh Ahmad said: "Iran was supposed to be the host before, but due to the increase in the number of coronavirus victims in most countries, this issue was postponed." Iran's hosting remains strong, and as soon as Iran announces control of the disease, both in terms of the number of patients and the number of victims, the next meeting of the Executive Board will be held in Iran in early July next year.

  • He Zhenliang and China's Olympic Dream
    Chapter 12 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ASIAN SPORT assembly simply for electing a president. Zhenliang further observed that, un­ der the current conditions in Asian sport, changing the method of producing the leader of the Olympic Council of Asia and returning to the traditional way ofthe Asian Games Federation, in which the host country of that Asian Games assumed the presidency, and at the same time establishing a strong and effec­ tive international secretariat to handle the daily work, would better benefit the unity and development of the Asian sport. Zhenliang felt that, in order to make everyone understand this point, it needed some time for carrying out discussions and consultations. So, he suggested that the General Assembly of the Olympic Council of Asia should be postponed until December in Hiroshima or Tehran. Furuhashi completely agreed with Zhenliang. Hayashi added that it would be best if the president were elected from the host country of the previous Asian Games so that he could supervise the work for the next games. Zhenliang also proposed that, before the Board meeting, the national Olympic commit­ tees of East Asia should hold a consultation. The Japanese agreed with this proposal and further wished to take on the task of hosting the consultation. At that time, the acting president of the Olympic Council of Asia, Roy de Silva (Sri Lanka) also visited Beijing. At his request, Zhenliang met with him. Roy de Silva already knew that Zhenliang would not run in the election, and felt that the position of interim president would benefit him in the presi­ dential election.
