In this country, millions of Treasurer: Lisa Pinto puppies do not survive their first year. Many of those pups are taken to shelters because their Board of Directors owners simply can't live with them any more. Of Ed MacMillan all those puppies, not one is released to a shelter Norma Spivey because it won't sit, stay or come. The behaviors that must come first are a little more basic and a lot more important than precision "heeling" or "scent discrimination". The puppy who knows how to sit, but does not know how to greet strangers is unlikely to survive. The pup who knows how to greet strangers politely may actually live long enough to learn how to sit, heel and stay. To see how this perspective translates into a training program, here is a brief overview of Tug's early education. Establishing some ground rules.

  • Differences in Vault Jumps in Women Artistic Gymnastics
    Lucija Milčić1, Kamenka Živčić Marković1, Tomislav Krističević1, Miljan Grbović2, Aleksandra Aleksić-Veljković3 1University of Zagreb, Faculty of Kinesiology, Zagreb, Croatia 2University of Belgrade, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Belegrade, Serbia 3University of Niš, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Niš, Serbia Differences in vault jumps in women artistic gymnastics ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the difference between vault jumps at old and new horse performed at the Olympic Games 2000. and Olympic Games 2016. in women artistic gymnastics. Research was conducted on a sample of 32 jumps. Sixteen jumps at apparatus (vault) finals competition were performed at the Olympic Games 2000. in Sydney, Australia. Other sixteen jumps were performed also in the vault finals, but at the Olympic Games 2016. in Rio, Brazil. Analyses of the vaults were done by video. Variables which are used was divid- ed in two parts: type of the jumps (2, 3, 4, 5) and rotation (180°, 360°, 540°, 720°, 900°). Type of jumps was: 2=Handsprings, 3=Tsukahara, 4=Yurchenko, 5= Half-turn entry. Differences between the Olympic Games in type of jumps and rotations were calculated by T-test for in- dependent samples and Mann-Whitney U Test for independent sample. Results of Mann- Whitney U Test have shown that at the level of statistical significance of p<,05 that there were differences between the Olympic Games in variable rotation. It seems that today´s vault is performed with much more rotation around longitudinal (LA) axis of the body, and around transversal it seems that they are the same despite the new vault table.

  • Critical Analysis of the Performance of Women's Artistic Gymnastics in Brazil in the 2004- 2016 Olympic Cycles
    Molinari, CI.; Costa, VR.; Monteiro, KOFF.; Nunomura, M.: CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE … Vol. 10 Issue 3: 453 - 466 CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF WOMEN'S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS IN BRAZIL IN THE 2004- 2016 OLYMPIC CYCLES Caroline Inácio Molinari, Vitor Ricci Costa, Kamau Osei Fregonesi Ferreira Monteiro, Myrian Nunomura University of São Paulo, School of Physical Education and Sport of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil Original article Abstract Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) in Brazil has been represented in the Olympic Games since 1980; however, a full team was classified only in 2004. Analyzing the Brazilian team’s participation over the last four cycles (2004-2016), we have identified several factors that implied in the WAG results. In this study, we discussed these factors and reflected on their contributions to the development of the gymnastics. The milestone of the 2001-2004 Olympic cycle is marked by the first participation of a full team, when foreign coaches came to lead WAG, the training system was reorganized, and the selected athletes began training in a centralized training system in Curitiba’s Training Center. The 2005-2008 Olympic cycle was more successful, as a consequence of the long-term planning. In the 2009-2012 Olympic cycle, the Brazilian WAG went through a period of turbulence, the training was no longer centralized, and the head coach of the Brazilian team returned to his home country. In the 2013-2016 Olympic cycle, with the headquarters of the 2016 Olympic Games in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Olympic Committee devised strategies to boost the country’s success, which again drove improvement in the team results.
