    Statistics of Extremes in Athletics

    REVSTAT – Statistical Journal Volume 9, Number 2, June 2011, 127–153 STATISTICS OF EXTREMES IN ATHLETICS Authors: L´ıgia Henriques-Rodrigues – Instituto Polit´ecnico de Tomar and C.E.A.U.L., Portugal [email protected] M. Ivette Gomes – Universidade de Lisboa, F.C.U.L. (D.E.I.O.) and C.E.A.U.L., Portugal [email protected] Dinis Pestana – Universidade de Lisboa, F.C.U.L. (D.E.I.O.) and C.E.A.U.L., Portugal [email protected] Received: July 2010 Revised: December 2010 Accepted: February 2011 Abstract: TV shows on any athletic event make clear that those who want gold medals cannot • dispense statistics. And the statistics more appealing to champions and coachers are the extreme order statistics, and in particular maximum (or minimum) values and records. The models in statistics of extremes are usually semi-parametric or even non-parametric in nature, with the imposition of a few regularity conditions in the appropriate tail of the unknown model underlying the available data. The primordial parameter is the extreme value index, the shape parameter in the (unified) extreme value distribution. The estimation of the extreme value index is one of the basis for the estimation of other parameters of rare events, like the right endpoint of the model underlying the data, a high quantile, the return period and the probability of exceedance of a high level. In this paper, we are interested in an application of statistics of extremes to the best personal marks in a few athletic events.

    Lesson Plans Introduction the Following Section Provides Twenty-Seven Ready-To-Implement Lesson Plans for Teachers

    Lesson Plans Introduction The following section provides twenty-seven ready-to-implement lesson plans for teachers. The section is divided into four smaller sub-sections. • Early Stage 1 (5 year olds) • Stage 1 (6/7 year olds) • Stage 2 (8/9 year olds) • Stage 3 (10 years and LAANSWabove) ASAP Level 3 Each sub-section contains lesson plans suitable for children in these age groups. The lesson plans assume classes of up to thirty students and a time limit of 30-45 minutes, however a teacher can adapt the ideas to suit their particular circumstances. Each lesson plan generally follows the same format, being: Aim; Equipment; Warm Up; Skill Development; Games. In relevant places, topics such as safety aspects and various hints that will help the teacher organise and conduct a successful lesson are included. The lesson plans at times assume prior learning, ie. that the children have participated in the skill development activities contained in preceding lessons designed for the earlier levels. The activities featured in the lesson plans are based on fun, skill development, maximum group participation and a sound, logical progression. The lesson plans form the foundation of a class athletics unit. 3 29 Early Stage 1 Lesson Plans • Running - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 • Jumping - Lesson 1 - LessonLAANSW 2 ASAP Level 3 • Throwing - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 30 Early Stage 1 Running Lesson Plan Lesson 1 Introduction to basic running technique Introduction to relays Ground markers x 30 Relay batons x 5 Warm Up 1.

    MECHANICS of the POLE VAULT Mechanical Bases of Effective Pole Vaulting Technique

    MECHANICS OF THE POLE VAULT Mechanical bases of effective pole vaulting technique Peter M. McGinnis, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology • SUNY College at Cortland P.O. Box 2000 • Cortland • NY • 13045 email: [email protected] U.S.A. Track and Field 2007 National Podium Education Project December 13-15 • Las Vegas, Nevada T H E V A U L T E R 1. TALL AND LEAN. Elite vaulters are generally tall. Taller athletes have an advantage in the pole vault, especially at the pole strike. A taller athlete usually has a higher reach, and an athlete with a higher reach can strike the pole at a higher angle than a shorter athlete with a lower reach. Perhaps this tip should be entitled "Have a high reach height." Most elite male pole vaulters stand more than 6'0" tall. American record holder Jeff Hartwig is 6' 3". Olympic champion Tim Mack is 6' 2". American record holder Jenn Stuczynski is 6' 0". World record holder Yelena Isinbayeva is 5' 8 ½". There are exceptions, of course - Scott Huffman, Greg Duplantis, Svetlana Feofanova for example. Elite vaulters are lean. There are no exceptions to this rule. 2. FAST. Excellent sprinting ability is necessary for success in the pole vault. During the last steps of their approach runs elite male vaulters reach speeds in excess of 9.5 m/s (29.5 ft/s) while elite female vaulters reach speeds in excess of 8.2 m/s (26.9 m/s). Not all fast vaulters are elite vaulters, but all elite vaulters are fast.
  • Kristina Tabor

    Kristina Tabor

    Featured Runner – January, 2011 Kristina Tabor Our next featured runner is Kristina Tabor from the New Castle area. Kristina is the 2010 WCC Female Champion, setting a new single season points standard. She and husband Jon have run several WCC events over the years, but each made a season long commitment in 2010. Jon had a great year as well, finishing 3rd Overall Male in a very competitive men's division. Both Kristina & Jon also spend time coaching young runners in their area. Kristina took a few minutes out of her busy day to share her thoughts on running. How did you get involved in running? When did you realize that you had potential as a distance runner? My first race was actually a kids fun run mile when I was four. I didn‘t do much after that other than lots of playing until 4th grade. My school offered cross country and track starting at 4th grade. It was the only sport you didn‘t have to try out for, so I didn‘t get cut! My aunt and uncle were both runners so I thought it sounded fun. I ran all through elementary, junior high and high school before running at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, for four years. I really enjoyed running in high school and was mediocre to decent. I actually wasn‘t even that competitive, time-wise, in college until my senior year. I knew all along that I would be a lifelong runner, and hopefully coach cross country or track at some point. My senior year everything really clicked and I would have loved to have had four more years to compete.

    From the Nacac President's Desk November 2016

    FROM THE NACAC PRESIDENT’S DESK NOVEMBER 2016 SOME MEMBERS COULD NOT ESCAPE MATTHEW – A lot have happened since my last communication with you in July but, one of the most significant event was the development of the hurricane Mathews that started hitting the Caribbean Sea from Colombia in South America then the Eastern Caribbean and kept moving Northwest through the South Caribbean dumping a lot of rain and low winds in Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic and hitting the southwest part of Haiti with hurricane force winds and heavy rain where the damages were classified of a catastrophic level. Cuba’s northeastern coast was hit hard but, due to the emergency system that our larger Caribbean island has in place, they avoided any deaths and major damages. After Cuba, Mathew hit The Bahamas where the damages were heavy and the archipelago is still recovering from the destruction. However, the damages in Haiti were very high with more than 1,000 deaths and the destruction of their major agricultural region of the island. I was able to stay in contact with our dear friend and NACAC treasurer Alain Jean Pierre everyday via Whatapps and fortunately his family survived the hurricane. As you all know, our solidarity with Haiti is a priority in the region and right away, plenty of relief aid have been provided by countries from all over the hemisphere, to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti to recover and at least to get the basic products that they need to survive. The relief aids in a case like this is not enough since, there are too many families without home, without food and without medicals supplies.
