Aim and Scope: Thousands of masters athletes participate quadrennially in the World Masters Games Abstract. Aim and Scope: Thousands of masters athletes participate quadrennially in the World Masters Games (WMG). However, this unique cohort remains under investigated. With a need for multifaceted solutions to the global (WMG). However, this unique cohort remains under investigated. With a need for multifaceted solutions to the global obesity epidemic, investigating special populations such as those competing in sport at mature-older ages may further obesity epidemic, investigating special populations such as those competing in sport at mature-older ages may further the understanding of the nexus between aging, physical activity and obesity. The aim of this cross-sectional the understanding of the nexus between aging, physical activity and obesity. The aim of this cross-sectional comparative study was to investigate body mass index (BMI) within the WMG competitors in context with national comparative study was to investigate body mass index (BMI) within the WMG competitors in context with national populations and health guidelines. We hypothesized that the prevalence of obesity in the WMG cohort would be less populations and health guidelines. We hypothesized that the prevalence of obesity in the WMG cohort would be less than comparative national populations and males would demonstrate a higher level of obesity than females. Methods: A than comparative national populations and males would demonstrate a higher level of obesity than females. Methods: A total of 408 (44.1% male, 55.9% female) WMG basketball players aged 29-77yrs (mean 52.2, SD ± 8.0) were total of 408 (44.1% male, 55.9% female) WMG basketball players aged 29-77yrs (mean 52.2, SD ± 8.0) were investigated via an online survey and compared to national populations, primarily a representative sample (n=12,366, investigated via an online survey and compared to national populations, primarily a representative sample (n=12,366, 47.5% male, 52.5% female) of the Australian population (aged 30-79yrs). Results: Analysis demonstrated a 47.5% male, 52.5% female) of the Australian population (aged 30-79yrs). Results: Analysis demonstrated a significantly (p<0.001) reduced classification of obesity in masters basketball players, compared to Australian and other significantly (p<0.001) reduced classification of obesity in masters basketball players, compared to Australian and other national populations. As expected, male basketball players had , on average, higher BMI than females (p<0.001). national populations.

Coaching Association of Canada • Coaching Masters Athletes FOREWORD When I played competitive water polo, in the 1980s, there were few if any opportunities for continuing to compete past your mid-twenties. The same was true for many other sports, and masters competitors or participants were few and far between. But we’re all a few years older now, and many of us have stayed active. As a result, participation and competition by masters athletes has increased dramatically in recent years. Far from being a rarity, the masters athlete is today a common sight in many sports. National Masters and World Masters Championships are now the norm in almost every major sport, water polo included! Because significant participation in masters sport is so new, we are just starting to learn what masters athletes are physically capable of and what motivates them. Coaching masters athletes is therefore essentially a new frontier, and this booklet is the first contribution the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) is making to that new frontier. Coaching masters athletes is an exciting opportunity for all coaches to have a positive impact on the lives of adults who want to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. It is also a wonderful opportunity for coaches to have a positive impact on society by encouraging more adults to be more active.

It was the purpose of our study to further investigate FPG on a larger sample. FPG data was collected on 486 participants at the Sydney World Masters Games. Of the males, 241 reported optimal FPG and 36 reported sub-optimal FPG. For females 183 reported optimal FPG and 26 reported sub-optimal FPG. Analysis was conducted utilising the age ranges implemented in past research on the GORF. The mean FPG for masters athletes below 50 years old was 5.10±1.52 mmol/L, whilst for those 50 years and above it was 5.01±1.02. The difference between the groups was not significant (t = 0.722, p = 0.471).

  • Paralympic Legacy: from Sydney 2000 to Tokyo 2020 2016
    Paralympic Legacy: from Sydney 2000 to Tokyo 2020 2016 Please Reference as: Darcy, S. (2016). Paralympic Legacy - Learning from the Sydney 2000 to prepare for Tokyo 2020. Journal of the Nippon Foundation Paralympic Research, 4(1), 43-61. http://para.tokyo/english/Simon%20Darcy.pdf Paralympic Legacy - learning from the Sydney 2000 to prepare for Tokyo 2020 Professor Simon Darcy UTS Business School University of Technology Sydney 1-15 Broadway Broadway NSW 2007 AUSTRALIA [email protected] Ph: +61 2 9514-5100 ABSTRACT This paper is based on an invited seminar to the Nippon Foundation Paralympic Research Group delivered in Tokyo August 2015 that was asked to review the Sydney 2000 Paralympic games legacy outcomes as a way of providing reflective learnings for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic games. Over the last decade a great deal of work has examined major sport event legacies and event leverage. Much of this work has involved Olympic studies whereas the Paralympic games have been largely overlooked. The Paralympic Games are the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympic Games. Since Sydney 2000 there has been an 'operational partnership' where bid cities are required to host both Games. Yet, few studies have evaluated the outcomes, legacies and event leverage that Paralympic games have generated. This paper addresses this absence by presenting legacy frameworks and examining a review of Paralympic legacy research from the Sydney 2000 Paralympics. The seminar is timely in that it has been 50 years since the Tokyo 1964 Paralympics and Tokyo will be again hosting the Paralympics in 2020.

    Paralympic Legacy Learning from Sydney 2000 to Prepare for Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Legacy Learning from Sydney 2000 to Prepare for Tokyo 2020 Simon DARCY, Ph. D. （UTS Business School, University of Technology Sydney） Introduction The Olympic and Paralympic Games have a major impact on the cities that they are hosted in many different ways （Gold & Gold, 2010）. The Olympic games has a rich history of research scholarship but the Paralympic games has been examined to a far lesser extent（Legg & Gilbert, 2011）. In an examination of Paralympic legacy empirical research it was identified that only 13 of 43 papers sampled through major journal databases had undertaken any empirical research on Paralympic legacy （Misener, Darcy, Legg, & Gilbert, 2013）. The majority of empirical research undertaken had been completed on the Sydney 2000 Paralympic games. Tokyo in 1964 became credited as the first official Paralympic games through the use of the term “Paralympics” within the games documentation （Brittain, 2008; International Paralympic Committee, 2015）. Since the Tokyo 1964 Paralympic games there has been an exponential growth in the size of the Paralympics that has been captured by the IPC in Figure 1. Figure 1 documents the changes that are projected to occur between Tokyo 1964 and the games to take place in Tokyo in 2020. The growth metrics are phenomenal: ・21 to more than 160 countries; ・375 to 4350 athletes; ・144 to around 500 medal events; ・9 to 23 different sports; and ・1 to 9 impairment groups. The Tokyo 1964 Paralympic games was a watershed moment for not only the 43 Journal of The Nippon Foundation Paralympic Research Group vol.4 Paralympic movement but Tokyo itself with a number of significant achievements （Frost, 2012）.
