  • Study on High Jumpers on the Word
    Ovidius University Annals, Series Physical Education and Sport / SCIENCE, MOVEMENT AND HEALTH Vol. XII, ISSUE 2 Supplement 2012, Romania The journal is indexed in: Ebsco, SPORTDiscus, INDEX COPERNICUS JOURNAL MASTER LIST, DOAJ DIRECTORY OF OPEN ACCES JOURNALS, Caby, Gale Cengace Learning STUDY ON HIGH JUMPERS ON THE WORD GHEORGHE DANIEL1 Abstract Purpose. This work has proposed that purpose, to separate the essential data for selection and training high performance athletes in the perspective of major international competition. Methods. As research methods I used the case study, observation and statistics. Results. For the final selection to the Olympics, to accede to one of the medals, the athlete’s performance should be over 2.30 m. If we have several athletes with special performances, we should focus primarily on those with a richer experience, with several international competitions, so a little older. Conclusions. In 2 of the 5 Olympics, the performance for the first place is equal to the average top, which confirms first hypothesis. The top average age is 24 years and 7 months which confirms the second hypothesis. The third hypothesis is confirmed with the observation that for the Olympics the performance is the supreme criterion, the height isn’t a decisive criterion (there are medalists with height below top average). The hypothesis of the athlete’s weight isn’t confirmed, recording an average of 77,36 kg. We only have significant correlation between athlete’s height and weight. Key words: athletes, performance, statistics. Introduction the essential data for selection and training high The present study is an analysis of the finalists performance athletes in the perspective of major from the last two Olympics and the first three of the international competition.

  • Scottish Athletics Record Book
    SCOTTISH ATHLETICS RECORD BOOK 2018 October A scottishathletics history publication Scottish Records 1 Date: CONTENTS Introduction 2 Men’s Outdoor Records 6 Women’s Outdoor Records 43 Men’s Indoor Records 68 Women’s Indoor Records 75 Index to Scottish Record Holders 84 Index to Non-Scottish Record Holders 105 Cover photos –Scottish record holders Tom McKean, Yvonne Murray & Liz McColgan, courtesy of David T. Hewitson. Scottish Records 1 INTRODUCTORY NOTE This is the first attempt to document all Scottish records, national, native and all-comers’, men and women, outdoors and indoors. Further research will be carried out and this publication will be corrected and refined in future updates. This is particularly the case on the women’s side which was very poorly documented for many years. I know there are inconsistencies in the way women’s records were reported in newspapers and programmes over the years. If anyone has any information, corrections or queries, no matter how small, please contact me at [email protected]. Arnold Black, Historian BACKGROUND Official Scottish athletics records have been in aspects of the list, especially the non-acceptance existence since the very first list was established of a 51 .2 440 achieved by T.G. Connell (West of in November 1886. The following edited detail of Scotland F.C.) at Kilmarnock F.C.

  • Scottish Athletics Record Book
    SCOTTISH ATHLETICS RECORD BOOK March 2018 A scottishathletics history publication Scottish Records 1 Date: CONTENTS Introduction 2 Men’s Outdoor Records 6 Women’s Outdoor Records 43 Men’s Indoor Records 68 Women’s Indoor Records 75 Index to Scottish Record Holders 84 Index to Non-Scottish Record Holders 105 Cover photos –Scottish record holders Tom McKean, Yvonne Murray & Liz McColgan, courtesy of David T. Hewitson. Scottish Records 1 INTRODUCTORY NOTE This is the first attempt to document all Scottish records, national, native and all-comers’, men and women, outdoors and indoors. Further research will be carried out and this publication will be corrected and refined in future updates. This is particularly the case on the women’s side which was very poorly documented for many years. I know there are inconsistencies in the way women’s records were reported in newspapers and programmes over the years. If anyone has any information, corrections or queries, no matter how small, please contact me at [email protected].
