  • Immda Advisory Statement on Guidelines for Fluid Replacement During Marathon Running
    IMMDA ADVISORY STATEMENT ON GUIDELINES FOR FLUID REPLACEMENT DURING MARATHON RUNNING Written by Tim Noakes MBChB, MD, FACSM Professor of Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. This statement was unanimously approved at the IMMDA General Assembly, Fall 2001. This paper was editorially prepared for publication by an IMMDA committee of Drs. David Martin Ph.D.(Chair) ; Lewis G. Maharam, M.D., FACSM; Pedro Pujol, M.D., FACSM; Steve Van Camp, M.D.,FACSM; and Jan Thorsall, M.D. Publication: New Studies in Athletics: The IAAF Technical Quarterly. 17:1; 15-24, 2002. SUMMARY During endurance exercise about 75% of the energy produced from metabolism is in the form of heat, which cannot accumulate. The remaining 25% of energy available can be used for movement. As running pace increases, the rate of heat production increases. Also, the larger one’s body mass, the greater the heat production at a particular pace. Sweat evaporation provides the primary cooling mechanism for the body, and for this reason athletes are encouraged to drink fluids to ensure continued fluid availability for both evaporation and circulatory flow to the tissues. Elite level runners could be in danger of heat illness if they race too quickly in hot/humid conditions, and may collapse at the end of their event. Most marathon races, however, are scheduled at cooler times of the year or day, so that heat loss to the environment is adequate. Typically however, this post-race collapse is due simply to postural hypotension from decreased skeletal muscle massage of the venous return circulation to the heart upon stopping.

SIGNATURE OF STUDENT DATE ii © Central University of Technology, Free State SUMMARY The event tourism industry has a positive economic impact on countries and local communities alike. This is especially pertinent for developing countries such as South Africa where events and event tourism can be essential drivers for economic growth and development. Events have the potential to attract large numbers of attendees to host cities and local areas. As participant-based extreme sports events, such as motorsports, are becoming increasingly popular, competitive and dynamic, it is essential for event organisers to understand the demographics and consumer behaviour of visitors to such events.

  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M. Grundlingh Co-supervisor: Prof. Sandra S. Swart Marc 2015 0 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

  • Sport Awards 2015 Foreword
    Sport Awards 2015 Foreword The annual Sports Awards is a highlight of the Western Cape Government’s calendar. The Awards recognise and officially acknowledge the esteemed excellence of sportspeople hailing from the Western Cape. Today, we pay tribute to the exemplary role these individuals have played in the development of sport and motivating others to achieve more. I wholeheartedly thank each sportsperson awarded their prestigious acknowledgement for serving as a beacon of hope to all in the Western Cape. Their perseverance, focus and positive choices have groomed them into significant role-models to whom youth can aspire. Excellence in their respective sporting codes requires dedication, motivation and many hours of practice, but also most importantly support and encouragement from significant others: family, friends, coaches, managers and others. Heartfelt gratitude is expressed to them for their continuous support and encouragement toward our sporting success. Sport Awards 1 History has shown time and again that sport has the ability to bring diverse groups of people together and I fi rmly believe our honoured sport stars personify this notion. They also promote a healthy lifestyle in which they contribute to increasing wellness and safety in the Western Cape and for that I thank you profusely. By celebrating our victories and achievements we create a spirit of goodwill and social inclusivity that ultimately binds us all better together. In closing, a special word of thanks to all the DCAS team players for your hard work, dedication and professionalism in making the Sports Awards a proud occasion. Anroux Marais Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Western Cape Government 2 Sport Awards Volunteer Of The Year Mogamat Yassiem Khan – Western Province Fancy Pigeons Yassiem puts in long hours to ensure administrative compliance and that all shows are a success.

  • A Huge Goal for Us Is to Open a Special Needs School
    10th BIRTHDAY On 5th December we celebrated our 10th birthday. This was a momentous time for us as an organization to look back on 10 years of growth, change, challenges and success. We excited to embrace all the challenges and adventures the next 10 years hold. Our Director, Sophia Warner had the following to say about our vision going forward: A huge goal for us is to open a special needs school. Approximately 70% of the children are not reaching the academic level that they should be. This may be a result of lack of previous early childhood development education, poverty, dysfunctional home circumstances, foetal alcohol spectrum disorders, truancy and poor school attendance, lack of parental support or low literacy levels, poor quality schooling or lack of previous academic support. We aim to provide intensive accelerated learning programmes in a dedicated centre to help the children reach their potential. We also aim to have expanded to other geographical areas within the Western Cape or elsewhere in South Africa. Our programmes are well established now. We are ready to roll out to new areas and take on many new farms'. PRODUCTION At the 10th birthday celebration children from Kaapzicht, Bellevue, Koopmanskloof, Villiera and Hartenberg were involved in a drama production called 'I am Important'. The production combined music, song, dance and dialogue which gave the children exposure to different elements of theatre and performance. The message communicated through the performance is that each person in society is significant and each person has a unique contribution to make. Every day Pebbles tries to communicate this message to all the staff members and the beneficiaries of our work.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Approximately one quarter of Zimbabwean adults left their country of birth during the past twenty years. These sojourners are increasingly dispersed as tightening immigration regimes in preferred destinations and fluctuating global opportunities lead them to places with fewer historical links to Zimbabwe. This dispersive process fractures many families between multiple international locations. Nevertheless, the idea of family remains centrally important to diasporans, who work with relatives around the world to care for children and elders, to acquire important documents like passports, and to prepare for an eventual return home. Following from performative and relational theorizations of kinship, this dissertation argues that collaborative projects are crucibles in which families are forged and reconfigured. This exploration of how dispersion shapes family life deploys three analytical lenses: history, space and technology. Contemporary journeys are historically linked to a century of dispossession and labor-migration in Southern Africa. Colonial governments used onerous “bioinformational regimes” to subjugate Africans and profit from their labor.

    Contact: Monya Vermaak PRESS RELEASE Telephone: (011) 314-4021 Cell: (079) 155-6266 Email: [email protected] Website: www.plasticsinfo.co.za PLASTICS|SA CLEAN-UP CREWS COLLECT MORE THAN 39 000 KG OF WASTE AT THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL RACE Cape Town, 22 May 2017. More than 39 000 kg of waste was collected by the Plastics|SA Clean-Up Crews that cleaned up the routes used by the athletes during the recent Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon, widely known as the World’s Most Beautiful Race. According to Douw Steyn, Director: Sustainability at Plastics|SA, the majority of the waste collected during these annual events is made up of plastic, which has a high recycling value. “We work hard to ensure that this packaging is kept out of the environment and off the streets by employing a clean-up crew of cleaners from Masiphumelele, Ocean View and Athlone. Many of the members of these clean-up crews have been working with us for the past 10 years on race days and are trained to quickly and effectively sweep the areas”. Steyn remarked that it was clear from this year’s events that athletes and spectators had a heightened awareness of the importance of not littering and keeping their environmental footprint as small as possible. “The organizers of this year’s Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon in particular did an excellent job with their #GOGREEN campaign that was launched prior to the race. This is anti-littering movement which, coupled with our waste management plan, offered a sustainable way to collect and process the non-organic waste which was generated during race week.
