    Comments Received Australian Institute of Sport ‘Recently, scientists at the Australian Institute of Sport quantified the reliability of the StrikeMate for measuring maximal punching power in athletes. Their findings help coaches and athletes interpret the results of testing using the StrikeMate. Their assessments showed that if an athlete’s punching power improves by more than 1.8% over time, they can be confident that their training has lead to positive change in performance, not simply random variation’ Clare Humberstone PhD BSc (Hons) Senior Sport Physiologist Australian Sports Commission http://www.ausport.gov.au/ Richard Vince (richardvince.com) 8th Dan Black Belt. ‘We purchased a 'StrikeMate' to use to draw people to our stand when we attend Martial/fighting Arts shows, tournaments, conventions etc. Whenever we have set up the 'StrikeMate' and encouraged a few people to start the ball rolling, we have been inundated with individuals eager to test their power on the device. So far (after approximately 100 weeks of regular use) it has shown itself to be reliable, accurate and durable. As you would expect, the goal of some Martial Artists has been to endeavour to break the machine. The device has, so far, shown no sign of yielding to this onslaught. The readings are clear and simple and the results seem consistent. It is a great piece of equipment; we also use it with our students at our Academy as a retention tool. Each student may attempt to increase their power each month if they so choose’. With respect Richard Vince Master Vince started his career in Martial Arts in 1979 at Ipswich Martial Arts Centre.

  • April 2021 MESSAGE from the EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues
    EOC NEWSLETTER No. 211 April 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, With the countdown clock to Tokyo 2020 now at well under 100 days to go, this summer’s Olympic Games are quickly approaching. As the National Olympic Committees of Europe and our athletes put the final touches on preparations, the latest Playbooks from the International Olympic Committee have given us valuable insight into what this special edition of the Olympic Games will be like. They will unquestionably be different from what we have been used to, and it is clear that each Olympic stakeholder will have to exercise a great deal of flexibility and patience to make these a safe and successful Games for everyone involved. But I remain convinced that we will pull it off as long as we remain united in our purpose – to ultimately provide, through sport, a little hope and encouragement to the world after such a trying and tragic period for humanity. Looking slightly further ahead, the European Olympic Committees continues to make real progress with regard to the European Games Krakow-Malopolska 2023. Last week the EOC Coordination Commission for the Games gathered in Antalya, Turkey for meetings with a range of important stakeholders, including potential partners, who will help us deliver the best edition of our continental Games yet. More information will be communicated to you on this subject in due course. Unfortunately, as you will all know, the Vuokatti Winter EYOF was recently postponed to March 2022, but I think everyone will understand that it was the only choice and will provide the local organisers more time to prepare the festival in the best way.

  • Lara and Warrington Collide in Huge Rematch, Taylor Faces Han at Emerald Headingley Stadium on September 4
    LARA AND WARRINGTON COLLIDE IN HUGE REMATCH, TAYLOR FACES HAN AT EMERALD HEADINGLEY STADIUM ON SEPTEMBER 4 Mauricio Lara and Josh Warrington will rematchin an epic showdownat Emerald Headingley Stadium on Saturday September 4, live worldwide on DAZN. The co-main event will also feature undisputed Lightweight World Champion Katie Taylor, who puts all her belts on the line against IBF Mandatory Challenger Jennifer Han. ‘The Leeds Warrior’ (30-1, 7 KOs) was floored and ruthlessly finished by Mexico’s Lara (22-2, 15 KOs) in a sensational knockout loss at The SSE Arena, Wembley in February that put a massive dent in the former IBF Featherweight World Champion’s unification plans. Warrington endured a stunning upset defeat as he was dropped and nearly stopped in the fourth round before ‘Bronco’ sent him crashing to the canvas again in the ninth to end the 30- year-old’s unbeaten record. The upset-of-the-year contender sent shockwaves through the 126lbs division and now Warrington will look to exact revenge in front of a capacity crowd at the home of the Leeds Rhinos in the biggest fight of his career. Undisputed Lightweight rulerTaylor (18-0, 6 KOs) defends her WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine crowns against her latest Mandatory ChallengerHan (18-3-1, 1 KOs) in the co-main event, another huge stage for the best in women’s boxing. The Irish star was forced to dig deep as she retained her World Titles via a unanimous decision victory after another memorable meeting with Natasha Jonas last time out at Manchester Arena in May – nine years on from their London 2012 Olympic Games bout.

  • If You're Lucky Enough to Be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St
    ICA Theme Profile If You're Lucky Enough to be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Created by: Richard Mullins Working intensity: moderate to very hard Length: 50 minutes Concept Behind the Profile Ireland has a population of 5 million people, but 70 million people call it home. We are the friendly Irish and we are the fighting Irish! I’ve picked several key moments in Irish culture that got Ireland noticed across the world and tied them into working intervals of varying duration. The terrain of Ireland is constantly changing, so be prepared for terrain that could always shift under your feet! The scope of this profile is to work below threshold, then at threshold, and finally give riders the option to work above threshold. When you ask a tourist about Ireland or if you think about how Ireland is perceived outside of our small isle, we are, in many cases, associated with the colour green, Guinness, and anything else that fits a stereotype. All one has to do is look at any tourist T-shirt! Let’s think beyond these stereotypes; Ireland has thrown herself into the world arena many times over the last few years (and before that) in the areas of dance, film, music, economics, and politics. These pivotal moments have slowly changed how we are perceived in the world. As the ride begins, I do like to mention a few quotes that various film and TV characters around the world have referenced about Ireland to lighten the mood. I will include some at the very end of this profile.

  • STATEMENT by H.E. Usen Suleimen, Ambassador-At-Large of The
    STATEMENT by H.E. Usen Suleimen, Ambassador-at-Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the opening of OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meeting Warsaw, 24 September 2012 Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, At the outset please allow me to express our sincere gratitude to the Government of Poland for a warm hospitality. We also thank the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and the Chairmanship for the arrangement of this annual Human Dimension Implementation Meeting. We also recollect with appreciation the Irish Chairmanship’s arrangement of the 1st SHDM on tolerance and non-discrimination in society through Sport held in Vienna in April this year, which, definitely, has facilitated the Irish boxer Katie Taylor to be among first women in the history of the Olympic Games to win gold medal in London in August this year. This is quite in line with the other Kazakhstan’s priority - gender equality. Dear participants, For the last several years Kazakhstan, both before and after its successful Chairmanship, was one of the most visible states in the OSCE activities due to always high level of the official delegations and numerous Kazakh NGOs at every event. Even today we boast that Kazakhstan continues to show high participation level with 61 Kazakh civil society organizations present at the forum. The said activity of Kazakhstan is also reinforced by a constructive dialogue that we have with ODIHR on a number of issues related to enhancement of the democratic processes of my country. The ODIHR’s recommendations are taken into account.

  • Sport Development in Kuwait: Perception of Stakeholders On
    SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN KUWAIT: PERCEPTION OF STAKEHOLDERS ON THE SIGNIFICANCE AND DELIVERY OF SPORT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Badi Aldousari, M.A. * * * * * 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Dr. Donna Pastore __________________________ Advisor Dr. Janet Fink College of Education ABSTRACT The current study analyzed the perceptions of 402 stakeholders of Kuwaiti sport regarding the importance of three domains of sport (i.e., mass sport, elite sport, and commercial sport), and the relative emphases to be placed on each of these domains. The respondents were also asked to indicate the organizational forms (public, nonprofit, profit, public-nonprofit combine, and public-profit combine) best suited to deliver related sport services in the country. The stakeholder groups were administrators of federations (n = 57), administrators of clubs (n = 80), administrators of youth centers (n = 50), coaches of clubs (n = 78), coaches of youth centers (n = 57), and elite athletes (n = 70). The gender distribution of the respondents was 355 males and 47 females. They ranged in age from 19 years to 70 years for a mean of 39 years. The statistical procedures included exploratory principal component analysis, computation of Cronbach’s alpha, multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) followed by univariate analyses (ANOVA), and chi square analyses. The results provided support for the subscale structure of survey instrument modified from Cuellar (2003). Further analyses indicated that the six groups were almost unanimous in considering elite sport as more critical than the other two domains of sport.
