  • A Study on the Changes in the Number of Participating Athletes in the National Disabled Games Between 2008 and 2012, Using the Latent Growth Model
    A Study on the Changes in the Number of Participating Athletes in the National Disabled Games between 2008 and 2012, Using the Latent Growth Model Cheng-Lung Wu, Department of Marine Sports and Recreation, National Penghu University of Science and Technology, Taiwan ABSTRACT This study employed the Latent Growth Model (LGM) to analyze changes in the number of participating athletes in the National Disabled Games from all cities and counties in Taiwan between 2008 and 2012. The aim was to examine the changes and dynamic process of the participating athletes at different times. The result of the study indicates that between 2008 and 2012, the initial average of the number of participating athletes in the National Disabled Games is 53.23, and the average growth is 3.93; the respective t values are 6.78 and 2.81, which are both statistically significant (*p<.05). In other words, the average number of participating athletes in the National Disabled Games in 2008 was 53.23, and continued to grow at an average rate of 3.93 persons per year. There was significant growth in the number of participating athletes between 2008 and 2012 in all cities and counties. In addition, there was significant difference in the growth rates among different cities and counties. Keywords: Latent Growth Model (LGM), physical and mental impairments, National Disabled Games INTRODUCTION It has become a global trend to improve the welfare of the physically and mentally challenged. The degree to which a country is capable of providing adequate care and opportunities for its physically and mentally challenged citizens is also an important index in evaluating its overall development.

    WADA Technical Document for Sport Specific Analysis Version Number:4.03.1 Written By: TDSSA Expert Group Approved By: WADA Executive Committee Date: 145 November 20187 Effective Date: 1 January 20198 1. Introduction As part of WADA’s move towards ensuring Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs) implement more intelligent and effective anti-doping programs, Article 5.4.1 of the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (WADC2015) states – “WADA, in consultation with International Federations and other Anti-Doping Organizations, will adopt a Technical Document under the International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI) that establishes by means of a risk assessment which Prohibited Substances and/or Prohibited Methods are most likely to be abused in particular sports and sports disciplines.” This Technical Document for Sport Specific Analysis (TDSSA) is intended to ensure that the Prohibited Substances and/or Prohibited Methods within the scope of the TDSSA and other tools that support the detection of Prohibited Substances and/or identify the Use of Prohibited Methods such as the Athlete Biological Passport are subject to an appropriate and consistent level of analysis and adoption by all ADOs that conduct Testing in those sports/disciplines deemed at risk. Compliance with the TDSSA is mandatory under the WADC2015. The development of the TDSSA is based on a scientific approach linking physiological and non- physiological demand of Athlete performance with the potential ergogenic benefit of those Prohibited Substances and/or Prohibited Methods within the scope of the TDSSA. The TDSSA complements other anti-doping tools and programs such as the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), intelligence gathering and investigations.
