International Statistical Institute, 55th Session 2005 An International Reference List of Sports for Statistical Purposes Bruno ROSSI MORI Italian Olympic Committee, Coni Servizi, Statistical Monitoring of Sport Largo Lauro De Bosis 15, 00194 Rome, Italy [email protected] 1. Seeking a coordinated Monitoring of Participation in Sports The sports system is centered on human activities which are called “sports”… Statisticians must consider the different sports which are practiced in a country, both while measuring participation of citizens in sports and while analysing facilities and other services provided, economic issues etc. Theoretical definitions of sport don’t help in surveys, when citizens give free answers from their own point of view: the feelings about sports differ from time to time and from place to place. Ten years ago, this topic was focused in the 1995 Beijing ISI Session and now some steps forward may be shown. Actions for a better Monitoring of Participation in Sports were developed among European countries, aimed at improving sport policies within the cultural policies at national and local level: • The Leadership Group for Cultural Statistics (LEG) implemented within the European Union (1999 report) some basic principles established by UNESCO in the ‘80 (Framework for Cultural Statistics - FCS) • The Compass action in sport was welcomed by the CDDS (Committee for the Development of Sport) within the Council of Europe (1996), while at the same time the LEG group for Cultural Statistics decided not to deal with sport in the first steps, and appreciated the fact that Compass was doing it. The Compass working group edited a book (1999), opened a website (www.sportcompass.net) and was recognised as ad hoc working group of the International Association for Sports Information IASI (2002). IASI is recognised by the IOC and by ICSSPE. 2. The COMPASS action What is the “Compass” action in the sport field? • It seeks the Coordinated Monitoring of Participation in Sports. • It makes accessible shared statistical criteria and comparable data through the website. • It was promoted in 1996 by the Italian Olympic Committee, by UK Sport and Sport England. Several key-contacts, who are managing surveys in ten European countries, are now cooperating. • The measurements concern the sport field described by the “Council of Europe” definition, as intended in every country. • Compass is based upon national surveys, promoted by public bodies. • For the breakdown of the overall participation data, three main components are considered by the partner countries: quantity, quality and organisation of activities. International Statistical Institute, 55th Session 2005 • A certain level of methodological accuracy is needed for being included in the “cross- national tables”, but every relevant survey is being reported in “national” pages. • The surveys acknowledged by Compass recognise sports through their names. For more detailed comparisons a shared reference list of sports was established. 3. The IASI-Compass International Reference List of Sports In order to develop comparable statistics, statisticians need at least a shared list of sports as a reference at international level. A reference list of worldwide recognized sports is being set up on the basis of IOC and GAISF recognitions, and may be flanked with national additions, in order to reach the best conditions for cross-national comparisons. It is now being proposed to the concerned international bodies for acknowledgements. The first List (CILS-02) was set up in 2002, adapting the Classification Scheme of the International Olympic Committee – IOC (which was designed for filing results of sports events). Table 1. The 88 names of sports appearing in the CILS-02 1 Aeronautics 31 Floorball 61 Roque 2 Aikido 32 Flying Disc 62 Rowing 3 Aquatics 33 Football 63 Rugby 4 Archery 34 Golf 64 Sailing 5 Athletics 35 Gymnastics 65 Sambo 6 Automobile Sports 36 Handball 66 Sepaktakraw 7 Badminton 37 Hockey 67 Shooting 8 Bandy 38 Ice Hockey 68 Skating 9 Baseball 39 Jeu de Paume 69 Skibob 10 Basketball 40 Judo 70 Skiing 11 Biathlon 41 Ju-Jitsu 71 Sleddog 12 Billiard Sports 42 Karate 72 Soft Tennis 13 Bobsleigh 43 Korfball 73 Softball 14 Bodybuilding 44 Lacrosse 74 Sports for Disabled 15 Boules 45 Life Saving 75 Squash 16 Bowling 46 Luge 76 Sumo 17 Boxing 47 Minigolf 77 Surfing 18 Bridge 48 Modern Pentathlon 78 Table Tennis 19 Canoe / Kayak 49 Motorcycle Racing 79 Taekwondo 20 Casting 50 Mountaineering and Climbing 80 Tennis 21 Chess 51 Netball 81 Triathlon 22 Cricket 52 Orienteering 82 Tug of War 23 Croquet 53 Pelote Basque 83 Underwater Sports 24 Curling 54 Polo 84 Volleyball 25 Cycling 55 Power Boating 85 Water Skiing 26 Dance Sport 56 Powerlifting 86 Weightlifting 27 Draughts 57 Rackets 87 Wrestling 28 Equestrian 58 Racquetball 88 Wushu 29 Fencing 59 Rink-Hockey 30 Fistball 60 Roller Sports CILS-02 contains 88 sport names, originating from 5 clusters: - Sports recognised by IOC (71) as - Olympic Summer Sports (cluster n. 1: 28 sports) - Olympic Winter Sports (n. 2: 7 sports) - “Discontinued” Olympic and Non-Olympic Sports (n. 3: 36 sports) - Sports for Disabled (n. 4: temporarily seen as 1 sport) - Other sports recognised by the General Assembly of the Int. Sports Federations (n. 5: 16 sports) International Statistical Institute, 55th Session 2005 The List was released on the Compass website, at the attention of the Compass partners for comparisons with the national lists, for validation and implementation. In the 2005 edition Sports for Disabled must be better considered and at least three sports must be added from the GAISF list (group 5): Football, Go, Sports Fishing. “National” sports will be added aside upon proposals from the countries. However, the field of Sport for All is melting progressively with leisure physical activities and “movement for health”. Many countries developed surveys measuring the energy expenditure in working or leisure time. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was released under the auspices of the World Health Organisation - WHO. A bridge between the two methods is envisaged in the future. At present, the International reference list may be used for reorganising data from existing surveys, in order to produce rankings by sport. The Italy‘s Institute of Statistics, in cooperation with the Italian Olympic Committee and the University of Rome La Sapienza, Dept. of Statistics, produced a classification (LISPO) of the Italian terms used in the Istat 2000 survey questionnaires, which is matching with the CILS-02. This step brought into evidence that a part of the physical activities mentioned as sports were not fitting in the sport names. In Italy, about 1/3 of citizens say they play sports and about 1/3 say they play some leisure physical activities without recognising them as sports. Out of the citizens who say they play sports about 1/3 take part in competition, and 2/3 don‘t compete. Some of the non-competitive activities can be included in some sport headings and some not. Therefore a provisional solution was found, by grouping those activities in close connection with some specific sports, linked but distinct from them. The similarity may be in movements or in venues that are to be used. Examples of it are in aquatics, gymnastics, cicling, athletics and so on. The example of “Aquatics“ is shown. Table 2.

Of course, each country remain free to assemble sports in families for more synthetic readings. Italy and France used different assembling criteria, therefore the more synthetic data may be not comparable. The real goal is to compare sports, and trends in sports. International Statistical Institute, 55th Session 2005 The following table 3 is the first of the otputs which may be drawn. Each item of table 3 is one sport of the International CILS list and data are calculated following the national classification LISPO derived from CILS (as shown in table 2). From this point ahead, the Compass criteria allow the creation of participation profiles for each single sport, which may be useful for all the pleople concerned with it. Each sport may contain competitive and non competitive participation. The non competitive participation in each sport is melting – as said before - with other similar activities (aquatics, gymnastics, cicling, athletics have linked activities which may increase considerably the relevant figure) which may be seen or not as sports. The analysis of this complex system must of course go on. Table 3.

Together with its development and spreading its importance grows as well. However previously conducted research on floorball from its managerial point of view is rare, especially on an international scale. The present investigation makes an attempt to fill this gap in a holistic manner. It explores the research problem of finding the potentials of floorball as a sustainably successful sport – worldwide and in the case country, Bulgaria. For this purpose the study utilizes the tasks of collecting and systematizing existing relevant data, binding floorball to theoretical frameworks of contemporary science and observing its development level and current issues globally and locally. The research uses a qualitative, ethnographic approach to obtain its goals, and includes participant observation, unstructured and semi-structured interviews. Data is analysed through a combination of qualitative analysis tools – thematic analysis, discourse analysis, content analysis, visual data analysis, etc. The primary data has been gathered in Finland, as well as in Bulgaria and consists of observation of key events and interaction with key informants.

    THE FIRST BEAUTIFUL GAME Stories of obsession in Real Tennis Roman Krznaric Ronaldson Publications September 2006 CONTENTS Introduction The Wordless Conversation From Abbots to Zealots Life in Court Serving to Gentlemen The Missionary Adventures With My Father References Acknowledgements About the author Notes 2 INTRODUCTION Bent rackets, hand-sewn balls and netted windows. Painted crowns, brass bells and penthouses. Chases, railroads and giraffes. Welcome to the curious world of real tennis. Originating in medieval Europe, the court, rules and equipment have hardly changed in four centuries. Yet this book is not a chronicle of its history, nor is it a manual on technique and strategy. It is about the players and their obsession. Over the past five years I have spoken with real tennis players about their experiences of the sport, why they play and what it means to them. I learned that most of them are fanatics, some are addicts. More than a few are eccentrics. And I found their stories revealing about the art of living: whether to pursue our passions and ambitions, how to balance work and personal life, why we need respect and equality, where we can find and create beauty. This book tells those stories in their own voices. I should admit that I am one of the fanatics, an amateur player who has named three bicycles and a car after former World Champions. I first encountered real tennis in the late 1980s when a student. At the time I was dedicated to another sport that, in my ignorance, I called ‘tennis’ – the game played at Wimbledon and in parks on sunny afternoons.

  • Tripartite Invitation Places

    Tripartite Invitation Places

    Games of the XXXI Olympiad, Rio 2016 Olympic Games Tripartite Commission Invitation Places Allocation Procedure and Regulations (Hereinafter the “Regulations”) PREAMBLE Qualification systems are the rules established by IFs, in consultation with the IOC, which consist of rules, procedures and criteria for participation in the competitions of the Olympic Games. They are established to give a fair and equal opportunity for the best athletes in the world to participate in the Olympic Games, as well as to ensure universal representation. Universality, as specified in the Olympic Charter, is a fundamental aspect of the Olympic Games. The principle of universality is reflected in the qualification systems through the continental representation of athletes and teams. The IOC also seeks to provide additional opportunities with the allocation of Tripartite Commission Invitation Places (hereafter the “Invitation Places”) through the Olympic Games Tripartite Commission (IOC / ANOC / ASOIF) for the Olympic Games (hereafter the “Commission”). 1. OBJECTIVES, COMPOSITION AND COMPETENCE OF THE COMMISSION A. Objectives The objective of the Commission is to manage the allocation procedure for Invitation Places offering the opportunity to NOCs, which have traditionally sent small delegations to the Olympic Games, to be represented at the next edition of the Games. A further objective of the Commission is contribute to enhancing and reflecting universality by selecting athletes from such NOCs, which are unable to qualify, so that they may have an opportunity to be invited to compete in sports and disciplines for which Invitation Places have been reserved. B. Composition The Commission is composed of a representative from the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), a representative from the International Federations (IFs) and a representative from the IOC.

Some of the questions this program will answer are: What is a Racquet Club? Who this Racquet Club is for? Where is this Racquet Club located? What goes on in this club? The elements composing the physical make-up of the facility are: 1. Clubhouse A) offices B) lounge and dining C) pro-shop D) lockers and dressing facilities E) indoor tennis and racquet ball courts 2. Outdoor tennis courts This facility not only will enhance the city of Lubbock but also provide its members a com­ plex that enables them to play the game as it should be played and to savor the deepest pleas­ ure the game has to offer. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT The name and the game came from the ancient net and racquet sport known in France where it was invented, as Jeu de Paume. This sport had its origins in the Middle Ages. It is mentioned in twelfth and thirteenth century manuscripts. In the sixteenth century the game was known to be exclusively an aristo­ cratic game because of the high cost of building courts.

  • Guide to Sport Invention3

    Guide to Sport Invention3

    THE INSTITUTE FOR AESTHLETICS GUIDE TO SPORT INVENTION! Hello! If you are reading this you have had the unfortunate pleasure to sit through an Institute for Aesthletics workshop on sport design! Now you must read through this resource packet! We here at the Institute do not believe so much in formal thought so we will try to keep this packet as useful and unlaborious as possible. That being said, we have many helpful insights on sport design that we would love to share with you. Since we may have reviewed many of these pointers, this guide both serves as a refresher and also expands on some ideas only touched on at the workshop. Introduction Why Invent New Sports? Why would you invent a new sport when there are already so many great sports out there like Underwater Ice Hockey, Wife Carrying, and Volleyball? The list is endless! So what is the point when we already have these great games? Well, the thing is, while it is great to be able to just go outside and play a sport like ski jumping or synchronized swimming without having to “invent” anything, the labor of making up a game is actually worthwhile and fun. To see how fun and, gasp, how educational sport invention is, we can turn to the foremost experts of sport inventors: children. Children invent sports all the time, at least they used to before Play Station. When I was a young lad, growing up in the hardscrabble streets of an upper middle class Brooklyn neighborhood, we were forced to make up our own fun.
