University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 USA St INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Morgan eighty-one years ago in 1895. Originally designed as just an indoor, lunch-time recreational game for businessmen, it gained only lim ited success at home during the f ir s t two decades. At this time, the game spread to the Far East and to Europe where i t be­ came a popular recreational and competitive sport. In these 80 years, volleyball has become one of the most popular sports in the world. Played by all ages at many different recreational and competitive levels, the sport is now known in virtually every corner of our globe. The main reason for its popularity is that it is relatively inexpensive, quite easy to learn, and the rules are simple. Since the inception of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) in 1947, the growth of volleyball has been significant. According to the FIVB Coaches Manual (CVA, 1975, p. 1.6) close to 120 countries belong to the FIVB. In 1957 i t was recognized as an Olympic sport by the International Olympic Committee and was f ir s t included in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The development of volleyball as a sport follows a pattern found in the development of other sports. As Lu (1950) stated: Introduced abroad when young and immature, i t developed under different cultures and environments, in each case formulating its own style and regulations. These styles and regulations vary from one country to another, and in some instances, even from city to c ity within the same country. (Lu, 1950, p. 2) At the present time, similar regulations are followed in almost all the countries, but the styles and the development varies from country to country. Internationally, volleyball is perhaps the best known team sport for women. Volleyball for women has closely paralleled the development of the men's game. In some countries, as compared to the men's pro­ gram, women's volleyball is much more successful internationally and is more widely accepted as a competitive and recreational a c tiv ity . The primary purpose of this investigation was to compare interna­ tional women's volleyball program in several countries. The study dealt with specific factors that have contributed to the success and/or failure of these volleyball programs in their respective countries. It is hoped that this information will further stimulate the promotion of the sport of volleyball and specifically help to establish an ongoing program in the United States. The one main hypothesis that was investigated can be stated as follows: success in international volleyball is directly correlated to one or more of the following factors: 1. broad base development of volleyball at a ll age levels; 2. development of a league structure for competition; 3. adequate amount of financial support; and 4. amount of time spent in international competition. One sub-problem was investigated: for the United States to have a successful international program, i t cannot just "carbon-copy" an existing successful program. I t must create its own unique system based on principles which are necessary for the success of any international program. The specific objectives of the study were to deal with several topics in comparing the programs in the different countries. The key topics were: 1. different levels of volleyball competition; 2. league structure - its development and mode of functioning; 3. organization of the national program; 4. finances - economic considerations; 5. relationship and interaction of the volleyball programs with the sport structure and organization in each country; 6.

In a country that had little reason to rejoice after being invaded by Soviet tanks seven months earlier, this was an extraordinary display of joy, nationalism, and Czech solidarity. The event that caused such excitement and later led to riots was the Czechoslovakian’s defeat of the Soviet Union, 4-3, in the World Ice Hockey Championships. During the past four centuries, the citizens of the modern day Czech Republic have survived under many oppressive rulers: the Hapsburgs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Nazis, and the communists of the Soviet Union.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.
