  • Remo Olímpico
    ORGANIZADORES Abdallah Achour Júnior Antonio Carlos Gomes Marina Bastos Soraya Iida de Carvalho 1ª Edição Rio de Janeiro Comitê Olímpico do Brasil 2019 MENSAGEM DO PRESIDENTE O Comitê Olímpico do Brasil (COB) tem a sociedade esportiva e acadêmica como grande aliada em prol do desenvolvimento do esporte no país. Ao longo dos anos, iniciativas lideradas pelo Instituto Olímpico Brasileiro (IOB) tornaram essa parceria cada vez mais forte. A 1ª edição do Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro é mais um passo nessa direção. O que o COB propõe neste congresso é uma troca de conhecimento, de ideias, de informações. O esporte de alto rendimento, hoje, exige um aperfeiçoamento constante, em todas as áreas da ciência do esporte. Um milésimo de segundo e um pequeno movimento fazem uma enorme diferença e são determinantes para a vitória de um atleta. Por isso, não só queremos compartilhar conhecimentos, mas também aprender com todos que possam contribuir com o esporte brasileiro. O Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro marca a comemoração dos 10 anos do IOB, parte fundamental de nossa instituição. O fato de 79% das medalhas conquistadas pelo Time Brasil nos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016 virem justamente de modalidades que receberam grande investimento em capacitação e treinamento do IOB nos deixa muito orgulhosos. Estamos cientes de que este é o caminho certo para o desenvolvimento do esporte olímpico no país. Esperamos que esta edição do Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro seja a primeira de muitas. Troquem ideias, participem, interajam. O COB agradece a presença de todos e torce para que vocês aproveitem ao máximo o nosso evento. Saudações Olímpicas, Paulo Wanderley Presidente do Comitê Olímpico do Brasil 02 2019 | CONGRESSO OLÍMPICO BRASILEIRO CONGRESSO OLÍMPICO BRASILEIRO | 2019 03 CARTA DE BOAS-VINDAS O Comitê Olímpico do Brasil dá as boas-vindas a todos os participantes da 1ª edição do Congresso Olímpico Brasileiro, que tem como tema a Gestão Esportiva de Alto Impacto.

  • International Sports Federations Social Media Ranking #Ifranking Social Media from Side Stage to Main Stage
    2020 INTERNATIONAL SPORTS FEDERATIONS SOCIAL MEDIA RANKING #IFRANKING SOCIAL MEDIA FROM SIDE STAGE TO MAIN STAGE Burson Cohn & Wolfe Sports (BCW Sports) is pleased to publish the 2020 International Sports Federations Social Media Ranking. Published for the fourth year in a row, this ranking aims to capture the social media footprint of international sports federations and provide insightful takeaways of how different content leads to different outcomes. 2020 has been a year unlike any other for sports federations. Despite setback after setback, with cancellations and postponements of sporting events around the world, the year has been revolutionary for the whole sports industry. Since matches and tournaments were not taking place, sports fans had to look for other channels of engagement. They found what they were looking for on social media. This year’s ranking, as per previous years, includes international sports federations (IFs) from both the Winter and Summer Olympic programmes. In addition, for the first time, non-Olympic IFs have also been included. This should serve to increase the comparative and informative value of the IF Ranking. On behalf of BCW Sports, I truly hope that you enjoy our findings. Share your thoughts by engaging with us at @bcwsport and use our hashtag #IFranking.

Chile Abstract The analysis of technical-tactical performance indicators is an excellent tool for coaches, because it provides objective informa- tion on the actions of players and teams. The aim of this investigation was to study the performance indicators for the last con- tinental basketball championships. Five continental championships played in 2015 were analysed for a total of 213 matches. The variables analysed were: ball possessions, point difference, points scored, one, two and three point throws attempted and sco- red, total and defensive and offensive rebounds, assists, steals, turnovers, blocks for and against, fouls committed and received, and evaluation. A descriptive analysis and performance profiles were carried out to characterise the sample. A one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni correction were used to identify the differences among championships. A discriminant analysis was performed to identify the performance indicators best characterising each analysed championship. The results show that there are differences among all the championships and all the performance indicators, except in three point throws scored and blocks.
