  • Historical Study on the Relation Between Ancient Chinese Cuju and Modern Football
    2018 4th International Conference on Innovative Development of E-commerce and Logistics (ICIDEL 2018) Historical Study on the Relation between Ancient Chinese Cuju and Modern Football Xiaoxue Liu1, Yanfen Zhang2, and Xuezhi Ma3 1Department of Physical Education, China University of Geosciences, Xueyuan Road, Haidian District, Beijing, P. R. China 2Department of Life Sciences; Xinxiang University, Xinxiang Henan Province, Eastern Section of Hua Lan Road, Hongqi District, Xinxiang City, Henan, China 3Beijing Sport University Wushu School, Information Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Ancient Chinese Cuju, Modern Football, Relationship, Development, The Same Origin Abstract: This paper studies on the origin and development of Chinese Cuju through document retrieval. Born in the period of Dongyi civilization, Chinese Cuju began to take shape during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, and gradually flourished during the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties. Through the economic and cultural exchange between China and the West in the past ages, Cuju was introduced into Europe when Mongol expedited westward in Yuan Dynasty. Finally, it has become the modern football, which originated from ancient Chinese Cuju and developed from European competition rules and now is widely accepted and popular in the world. 1. The Cultural Background of the Study On July 15th, 2004, Mr. Blatter, the president of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) officially announced in the 3rd session of Soccerex Fair, that football originated in Zibo, the capital of Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China. Cuju (ancient football game) began in China, while modern football (eleven -player game) originated in England.

  • Sports and Games in the Middle Ages
    Sports and Games in the Middle Ages Medieval sport was an exciting spectator event and, much like today, it drew large crowds. Most sports were enjoyed on Sundays and on feast days when folk did not have to work and were free to pursue leisure activities. Many of the popular sports played in the Middle Ages are the predecessors of modern sports. Football One early form of football, first described in a twelfth- century account of London, was a combination of football and rugby and involved carrying the ball into the goal. Another, ‘camp-ball’, was played in a large open field, sometimes several miles long, and by an unlimited number of players. Neighbouring villages might take each other on and riots could ensue. Handball, golf and hockey evolved from this game. At this time balls were made of leather and stuffed with either cloth or straw; or pig bladders filled with dried peas were used. Early forms of football have been played since medieval times. Bowling Bowling was greatly enjoyed in medieval times. There were various forms of the game. Some were like skittles whilst others were similar to boules or petanque. It is thought that marbles was a mini form of bowls developed especially for children. Other Sports Caich was a game resembling modern-day racquetball. Players would bounce a ball against a wall using a pole or bat. However, as caich required a specialized ball it was only played in urban settings by people of at least moderate economic standing. Ice skating was a popular winter pastime.

  • Training Proprioception and Touch for Ball Handling in Sports
    TRAINING PROPRIOCEPTION AND TOUCH FOR BALL HANDLING IN SPORTS Angel Palacios Working Paper [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Having a good sense of touch and proprioception is essential for ball handling in ball sports. Handling a ball requires the player to pay as little attention to the ball as possible in order for him to be able to pay attention to the other players around him or to the circumstances of the game. In order to do that, players need to develop their touch and proprioceptive senses and their mental system for managing their peripersonal space. Two approaches are described herein that allow players to train those senses to enhance their ball handling skills. INTRODUCTION Many of the activities performed by us rely on the automatic and instinctive control of our body. An area where this is particularly important is sports, particularly ball sports. For example, when a soccer player is handling the soccer ball and has to go past several opponents, he needs to pay as little attention to the ball as possible in order to be able to pay attention to where the opponents are and anticipate their intentions. The same happens in other sports such as basketball, handball, hockey (where rather than a ball there is a puck) and others. In these circumstances, the player needs to control the ball in a way that is as automatic and instinctive as possible. As Stephan Curry explains in an interview to CSN about his training methods with Brandon Payne: “When we are out playing, there are so many things you have to think about[...].
