Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es un hecho innegable la imparable expansión de la práctica de los videojuegos, que, gracias a la tecnología, puede efectuarse desde cualquier dispositivo incluso interactuando con usuarios de todo el mundo. Originariamente algunos ya reproducían, con enormes limitaciones técnicas, competiciones deportivas; actualmente el elenco de deportes que se puede practicar virtualmente es mayor, y la similitud con la realidad es casi total. Los videojuegos son, además de entretenimiento, un enorme negocio. En torno a programas de temática deportiva y no deportiva existen ya competiciones con gran número de participantes y seguidores, e incluso algunos jugadores profesionales que entrenan las destrezas y habilidades precisas para triunfar. Sin diferenciar contenidos se habla interesadamente de deportes electrónicos o e-Sports, habiéndose llegado a proponer su reconocimiento como deporte, con unas connotaciones y beneficios publicitarios inigualables. Ello ha generado un debate técnico-deportivo (desde las Ciencias del deporte) y jurídico que discurre compartimentado y con planteamientos y respuestas diferentes. La presente monografía, realizada por un autor sobradamente conocido como es Javier Rodríguez Ten y que cuenta con el prólogo de un jurista de reconocido prestigio como Alberto Palomar Olmeda, analiza minuciosamente, desde ambos puntos de vista, los requisitos que debe reunir una actividad para poder ser reconocida como modalidad deportiva, aplicándolo al caso concreto de los e-Sports aprovechando su condición de jurista deportivo y de Vicedecano del grado en Ciencias de la actividad física y del deporte en la Universidad San Jorge (Zaragoza).

Download or read book Regeneration through Sport written by Andrew McFarland and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how and why sport in general, and football in particular, entered the country and developed successfully between 1890 and the 1920s, while placing that growth within the context of Spain’s larger historical experience. The introduction of sport in the late 19th century permanently changed the day-to-day lives of thousands of Spaniards. Initially, the country’s growing urban middle-classes embraced the new activity as they built community identities and were introduced to it through economic and educational connections to foreigners. To justify this, these proponents argued that the adoption of physical education and sport would physically regenerate the nation. In response, well-rounded sporting communities grew, developed medical arguments, and even debated the activity’s appropriateness for different groups like women. As sport spread, it produced the first football clubs around the turn of the century. Subsequently, in the 1910s and early 1920s, football established the structural institutions, like stadiums, stars, regulatory bodies, and a press, that enabled its rapid expansion as a mass consumer activity in the late 1920s. Regeneration through Sport looks at how this process embedded the sport within the national culture and established itself as a politically neutral activity before the Spanish Second Republic, allowing it to become almost ubiquitous today. This book will appeal to researchers, students and scholars alike who are interested in the history of sport, Spain, and European history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Dimensions of Sport in Modern Europe offers new perspectives on European sport history in the ‘long twentieth century’ designed to challenge and deconstruct what might be considered ‘traditional’ or more familiar Euro-centric conceptions and geographies of sport and leisure—especially those deriving from the leading hotbeds of European sport history. This anthology adds to the growing corpus of explorations of sport and leisure in late-modern European history from a variety of countries: France, Spain, Finland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Slovenia. With topics covering several different sports and ranging from sport during empire to mega-events, and sport literature to women’s sport attire, the insights provided by this new body of research demonstrate a greater understanding of the connections between sport and society in Europe throughout the long twentieth century. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.

Download or read book Defining Sport written by Shawn E. Klein and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining Sport: Conceptions and Borderlines is not about the variations of usage of the term “sport.” It is about the concept, the range of activities in the world that we unite into one idea—sport. It is through the project of defining sport that we can come to understand these activities better, how they are similar or different, and how they relate to other human endeavors. This definitional inquiry, and the deeper appreciation and apprehension of sport that follows, is the core of this volume. Part I examines several of the standard and influential approaches to defining sport. Part II uses these approaches to examine various challenging borderline cases. These chapters examine the interplay of the borderline cases with the definition and provide a more thorough and clearer understanding of both the definition and the given cases. This work is not meant to be the definitive or exhaustive account of sport. It is meant to inspire further thought and debate on just what sport is; how it relates to other activities and human endeavors; and what we can learn about ourselves through the study of sport. This book will be of interest to scholars in philosophy of sport, history, communications, sociology, psychology, sports management, cultural studies, and physical education.

Download or read book Sport 2 0 written by Andy Miah and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramifications of the convergence of sports and digital technology, from athlete and spectator experience to the role of media innovation at the Olympics. Digital technology is changing everything about modern sports. Athletes and coaches rely on digital data to monitor and enhance performance. Officials use tracking systems to augment their judgment in what is an increasingly superhuman field of play. Spectators tune in to live sports through social media, or even through virtual reality. Audiences now act as citizen journalists whose collective shared data expands the places in which we consume sports news. In Sport 2.0, Andy Miah examines the convergence of sports and digital cultures, examining not only how it affects our participation in sport but also how it changes our experience of life online. This convergence redefines how we think of about our bodies, the social function of sports, and the kinds of people who are playing. Miah describes a world in which the rise of competitive computer game playing—e-sports—challenges and invigorates the social mandate. Miah also looks at the Olympic Games as an exemplar of digital innovation in sports, and offers a detailed look at the social media footprint of the 2012 London Games, discussing how organizers, sponsors, media, and activists responded to the world's largest media event. In the end, Miah does not argue that physical activity will cease to be central to sports, or that digital corporeality will replace the nondigital version. Rather, he provides a road map for how sports will become mixed-reality experiences and abandon the duality of physical and digital.
Download or read book The Scientific View of Sport written by O. Grupe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: progress and happiness - however these terms may be understood in detail - as a significant and constitutive element of scientific inquiry. In this sense the question of the way in which sport really benefits people and contributes to their happiness, and under which individual and social conditions, is a scientific question. It assumes special significance when the fact is taken into account that in the field of sport science a general scepticism is shown towards those dogmas and pedagogical theses which take such an interpretation for granted in the absence of a firm empirical foundation and a critically evolved theory. Sport and Sport Science Sport and exercise, physical culture and education in sport (physical training), gymnastics and touring combined with some form of sport are-as the present report distinctly shows-all over the world among the most striking social phenom ena of today. At first sight they seem to be uncomplicated, clear and comprehensible for everybody; they stand for a type of solidarity which is independent of differences in ideological-political outlook, and sometimes exhibit an almost archaic intensity and attraction; they are supported by the active participation or at least the interest of very many people in many parts of the world and are endued with specific func tions, varying in importance, of a medical (therapeutical, prophylactic, rehabilitative), pedagogical, psychological and social character.
