ABSTRACT

PURPOSE@#The rapid development of winter sports requires investigation on injuries in Chongli district, Zhangjiakou city, one of the ski sites of the 2022 Winter Olympics. Careful evaluation is required to observe which injuries are caused under what circumstances, and then we can make corresponding preventive measures and recommendations based on the results.@*METHODS@#In this retrospective study, the data of injury cases at ski resorts in China (Chongli district) and Japan were analyzed to provide a reference for the ongoing injury prevention at ski resorts. We collected data on injuries at Wanlong and Fulong ski resorts in Chongli district during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 ski seasons. We referred to the skiing injury report issued in February 2020 of a nationwide ski safety statistical service - Japan Ski Safety Association. The causes of injury and specific injured body parts were analyzed based on the data of Chinese and Japanese ski resorts. Statistical significance has been calculated using the Chi-square test.@*RESULTS@#During the 2019-2020 ski season in Japanese ski resorts, the number of reported injuries per 10,000 skiers was 0.93, of which 457 (17.3%) were over 50 years old, accounting for a large proportion of injuries, meanwhile in Chongli ski resort, the injury rate of skiers aged 50 and over was 7.1%. The knee joint (23.7% at Wanlong ski resort and 28.4% in Japanese ski resorts) was the most injured body part among Chongli and Japanese skiers. Among snowboarders, shoulder joint injury (17.7% in Japanese ski resorts) was the most common, and injury on hands and fingers (16.3% in Wanlong ski resorts) was the most common. Head injury rates are similar in Chongli, China and Japanese ski resorts (8.2% and 8.7%, respectively).@*CONCLUSION@#Our analysis demonstrated that injury data recorded among young skiers was higher in Chinese ski resorts (Chongli district) than that in Japanese ski resorts, and elderly skiers made up a larger proportion of skiing injuries in Japanese resorts. Thus, according to our research, the protection of knee joints, shoulder joints, and hands and fingers should be taken seriously. It should pay attention to the teaching of ski poles (for finger protection), and use protective devices such as knee pads, helmets, etc.

ABSTRACT

@#The World Health Organization recommends that countries or organizations that host mass gatherings plan ahead and prepare for possible public health events to ensure a safe environment for local residents, participants and travellers.1 Public health events during mass gatherings can also affect non-host countries. There are numerous reports of the spread of infectious diseases by travellers returning from mass gatherings,2 which can potentially pose the risk of an outbreak of new infectious diseases to travellers’ home countries. With more frequent travel across borders, it is prudent that non-host countries prepare for mass gathering events.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O estudo investiga as práticas culturais esportivas na sociedade capixaba no período entre 1946 e 1954. Como corpus documental, utiliza dois jornais que circularam na Capital do Espírito Santo e o Arquivo Aloyr Queiroz de Araújo. Utiliza as proposições de Norbert Elias para pensar a polissemia do esporte,enfatizando o que se convencionou chamar de princípio civilizador, que busca ser um controlador de pulsões, de desejos e da individualidade. Apoia-se, também, no paradigma indiciário de Ginzburg que, por meio de indícios e pistas deixados nos documentos, nos levam a compreender parte da cultura esportiva capixaba e sua relação com as Olimpíadas Escolares. Aponta as Olimpíadas Escolares como parte integrante da Cultura Esportiva capixaba, veiculada pela grande imprensa do período, que dá visibilidade para a um novo enfoque para o esporte que acontece nas escolas. Um fenômeno que procura, por meio do esporte, congregar as diversas regiões do Espírito Santo que, pela imigração, constituíram diferentes culturas. Dessa forma, o esporte aparece como elemento homogeneizador e catalisador de uma cultura que é cosmopolita.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho visou identificar as propostas de legados para o esporte no Brasil a partir do Dossiê de Candidatura do Rio de Janeiro à Sede dos Jogos Olímpicos e Paralímpicos 2016 e Cadernos de Legado Rio 2016. A pesquisa se caracteriza como documental de cunho qualitativo. Selecionamos do Dossiê de Candidatura e dos Cadernos de Legado as propostas para o esporte que são apontadas como consequência da vinda dos Jogos. Para cada proposta buscamos identificar: 1) dimensão esportiva (educacional, participação e rendimento); 2) nível de alcance; 3) público-alvo; e 4) orçamento. Concluímos que dentre as diferentes dimensões do esporte, o de rendimento será privilegiado. São poucas as propostas que visam ampla disseminação da prática esportiva. A maioria das propostas se restringe à cidade do Rio de Janeiro e ao período pré-Jogos. O esporte educacional não é significativamente contemplado quando comparado às outras dimensões do esporte, o que contradiz a Política Nacional do Esporte e a Constituição Federal de 1988. Mais estudos são necessários para subsidiar o direcionamento das ações do governo no sentido de se garantir o acesso ao esporte como um direito de todos.


The goal of this study was to identify the promises for sport development in Brazil based on the Candidature File for Rio de Janeiro to Host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Legacy Notebooks Rio 2016. The research was documental and qualitative. We selected proposals for sport of the Candidature File and Legacy Books that are identified as a result of the Olympic Games. For each promise we identified: 1) dimension of sport (educational, participation and elite); 2) range level; 3) target public; and 4) budget. We concluded that elite sport will be privileged and that there is a lack of proposals for broad dissemination of sport. Most proposals are restricted to the city of Rio de Janeiro and to the pre-Games period. Educational sport is not significantly contemplated compared to the other dimensions of sport, which contradicts the National Sport Policy and the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution. More studies are needed to help directing actions in order to ensure sport for all as a legal right of all Brazilian citizens.

ABSTRACT

Com os megaeventos esportivos acontecendo no Brasil (Jogos Pan-americanos 2007; Copa das Confederações 2013; Copa do Mundo 2014 e Olimpíadas/Paraolimpíadas 2016), visualizamos um período profícuo e instigador para pesquisas em torno deste objeto, concentrando nosso olhar para as Olimpíadas de Londres/2012. A exaltação do fenômeno esportivo trouxe, nesta pesquisa, as diversas faces que a mídia pode apresentar-se e associar-se (no tocante à economia, cultura, política, educação etc.). Nosso objetivo foi analisar como a mídia no estado de Sergipe antecipou e deu visibilidade às Olimpíadas/2012, construindo um "agendamento midiático-esportivo", a partir da estratégia da mobilização da dialética global-local. De cunho qualitativo e de caráter descritivo-exploratório, a pesquisa desenvolveu-se em três eixos: mídia impressa, digital e televisiva ­ que permitiram evidenciar a baixa efetivação da estratégia de agendamento e da dialética global-local, seja em virtude do amadorismo das entidades jornalísticas, seja, principalmente, pela ausência de interesse, pois, não havia atletas sergipanos na competição.


With all the mega sporting events that are happening in Brazil (The 2007 Pan-American Games, The 2013 Confederations Cup, The 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic/Paralympic Games) it is possible to visualize a profitable and instigator moment for researches around this topic, concentrating our attention at the 2012 London Olympic Games. The exaltation of the sport phenomenon brought, in this research, the multiple sides through which the media can present itself and join itself with (regarding economy, culture, politics, education etc.). Our objective was to analyze how the media in the state of Sergipe anticipated and gave visibility to the 2012 Olympic Games, building a "sports-media scheduling" strategy, from the mobilization of the global-local dialectic. Characterized as a qualitative study, which has a descriptive-exploratory approach, this research was developed in three areas: print media, digital media and broadcast media ­ which have highlighted the low effectiveness of the scheduling strategy and the global-local dialectic strategy, whether because of amateurism in journalistic entities, or because of lack of interest, since there were no athletes from Sergipe in the competition.


Los grandes eventos deportivos que se están desarrollando en Brasil (Juegos Pan-americanos 2007; Copa de las Confederaciones 2013; Copa del Mundo 2014 y Olimpiadas y Paralimpiadas 2016), nos permiten vislumbrar un periodo propicio e instigador de investigaciones en torno a este tema, centrando nuestra mirada en las Olimpiadas de Londres 2012. La exaltación del fenómeno deportivo hizo visible, en esta investigación, las diversas caras que los medios de comunicación pueden presentar y relacionar (respecto a la economía, la cultura, la política, la educación etc.). Nuestro objetivo fue analizar cómo los medios de comunicación del estado de Sergipe anticiparon y dieron visibilidad a las Olimpiadas 2012, construyendo una "programación mediática-deportiva", a partir de la estrategia de la movilización de la dialéctica global-local. Con un carácter cualitativo y descriptivo-exploratorio, la investigación se desarrolló en torno a tres ejes: medios de comunicación impresos, digitales y televisivos ­ que permitieron evidenciar la escasa efectividad de la estrategia de programación y de dialéctica global-local, ya sea debido al amateurismo de las entidades periodísticas, o principalmente por la ausencia de interés, pues no había atletas sergipanos en la competición.

ABSTRACT

Sport mega-events (SMEs) involve struggles to determine the definition of legacy and the outcome priorities that guide legacy planning, funding, and implementation processes. History shows that legacies reflect the interests of capital, and legacy benefits are enjoyed primarily, if not exclusively, by powerful business interests, a few political leaders, and organizations that govern high performance sports. This paper addresses challenges faced by cities and countries that host SMEs, and shows that fair and equitable legacies and developmental outcomes are achieved only when the voices and interests of the general population are taken into account and given priority during the process of planning, funding and implementation. It also explains how full representation in the process of defining and achieving legacies and developmental outcomes may be undermined by populist beliefs about the power of sport.


Os mega-eventos esportivos (MEE) envolvem lutas para se determinar a definição de legado e as prioridades que guiam os processos de planejamento, financiamento e processos de implementação de resultados. A história mostra que os legados refletem os interesses do capital, e os benefícios são usufruidos principalmente, se não exclusivamente, por interesses empresariais poderosos, por alguns líderes políticos e por organizações que governam o esporte de alto rendimento. Este artigo aborda os desafios enfrentados pelas cidades e países que hospedam MEE e demonstra que legados justos e equalitários e resultados em termos de desenvolvimento são alcançados somente quando as vozes e os interesses da população em geral são ouvidos e considerados como prioridade durante o processo de planejamento, financiamento e implementação. Ele também demonstra que a representação plena no processo de definição e prossecução de legados e a consecução de resultados em termos de desenvolvimento podem ser prejudicados por crenças populares sobre o poder do esporte.


Los mega-eventos deportivos (DME) implican luchas para determinar la definición del legado y las prioridades que guían los procesos de planificación, financiación financiamiento y ejecución de los resultados. La historia muestra que los legados reflejan los intereses del capital y que los beneficios son disfrutados principalmente, si no exclusivamente por los intereses empresariales poderosos, por algunos líderes políticos y por las organizaciones que dirigen los deportes de alto rendimiento. Este artículo aborda los desafíos que enfrentan las ciudades y los países anfitriones de los DME, y demuestra que legados justos y equitativos y resultados en sentido de desarrollo se logran solamente cuando se considera y se da prioridad a las voces e intereses de la población en general durante el proceso de planificación, financiamiento e implementación. Él también demuestra que la representación plena en el proceso de definición y consecución de los legados y los resultados en sentido de desarrollo pueden ser socavadas por las creencias populares sobre el poder del deporte.
