This document discusses match fixing in European sports. It provides an overview of the Fix the Fixing project, which conducted a survey of over 500 athletes across several sports and countries in Europe. The survey found that 12.6% of athletes reported playing in a fixed match, and 15% reported being approached to fix a match. Athletes perceived club officials, other players, and referees as the most likely to instigate match fixing. The document outlines risk factors for match fixing like gambling addictions, as well as protective factors like integrity and accountability. It concludes by calling for actions like paying players on time, whistleblower protections, and education to address match fixing across Europe.
Sport is the real common denominator among people all over the world, beyond socio-economic and cultural differences. It is a strong power: Everyone is interested in sports.
The sports consumptions have enough socio-economic specificities to justify that the offer develops a marketing adapted to the sporting cultures. It is a market that continues to grow and it is normal that we wanted to see all these specificities.

The RiverDogs are a Class A affiliate of the New York Yankees based in Charleston, South Carolina. They are pitching Firehouse Subs to be the stadium sponsor, calling it "Firehouse Subs Stadium". They chose Firehouse Subs because food is important to fans, many fans eat out weekly, and Firehouse Subs is family-owned like the RiverDogs value being family-friendly. The RiverDogs have strong social media numbers and their mascot Charlie could help promote Firehouse Subs' unofficial mascot. They average over 4,000 fans per game and see about 293,000 fans per season, believing Firehouse Subs sponsorship would create exposure for both organizations.

The document provides an injury study conducted by the sports medicine department of Football Club Barcelona. It analyzed injury data from 1713 athletes and 4 seasons from 2008-2013. The objectives were to quantify workload, compare injury incidence to other databases, identify most common and severe injuries by sport and age. Data was collected using a standardized method and stored in an internal database, allowing comparison to external studies. The results section analyzed medical assistance rates by month and annual rates per athlete. The conclusions and messages likely identified injury patterns and prevention recommendations.
The Sport Values in Every Classroom Toolkit was developed by six International Organisations including UNESCO, the Agitos Foundation (of the International Paralympic Committee), the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE/CIEPSS), the International Fair Play Committee (IFPC), the Olympic Foundation for Cultural Heritage (OFCH), and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), forming an Education Partnership aiming at embedding sports values across educational programmes and at supporting the development of #healthycitizens who participate fairly in society and in sport.
Technology has greatly impacted athletics in many ways, from how athletes train and compete to how sports are officiated and viewed by fans. Coaches and athletes now have access to technologies like video analysis, wearable devices, and data tracking to enhance training, recover, and evaluate performance. Sports organizations have integrated technologies like instant replay, sensors, and social media to officiate games more accurately, monitor player health, and engage with fans. While technologies provide benefits, leagues continue working to standardize rules for new equipment and find the right balance of integrating technologies without slowing down games too much.

Soccer Injuries: National Collegiate Athletic
Association Injury Surveillance System,
1988–1989 Through 2002–2003

*National Collegiate Athletic Association, Indianapolis, IN; †Princeton University, Princeton, NJ; ‡University of
Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN; §University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA; �University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC
Objective: To review 15 years of National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) injury surveillance data for women’s soccer
and identify potential areas for injury prevention initiatives.
Background: The number of NCAA schools sponsoring
women’s soccer has grown tremendously, from 271 in 1988–
1989 to 879 schools in 2002–2003. During that time, the NCAA
Injury Surveillance System has collected game and practice in-
jury data for women’s soccer across all 3 NCAA divisions.
Main Results: The rate of injury was more than 3 times high-
er in games than in practices (16.44 versus 5.23 injuries per
1000 athlete-exposures, rate ratio � 3.2, 95% confidence in-
terval � 3.1, 3.4, P � .01), and preseason practices had an
injury rate that was more than 3 times greater than the rate for
in-season practices (9.52 versus 2.91 injuries per 1000 athlete-
exposures, rate ratio � 3.3, 95% confidence interval � 3.1, 3.5,
P � .01). Approximately 70% of all game and practice injuries
affected the lower extremities. Ankle ligament sprains (18.3%),
knee internal derangements (15.9%), concussions (8.6%), and
leg contusions (8.3%) accounted for a substantial portion of
game injuries. Upper leg muscle-tendon strains (21.3%), ankle
ligament sprains (15.3%), knee internal derangements (7.7%),
and pelvis and hip muscle strains (7.6%) represented most of
the practice injuries. Injuries were categorized as attributable to
player contact, ‘‘other contact’’ (eg, contact with the ball,
ground, or other object), or no contact. Player-to-player contact
accounted for more than half of all game injuries (approximately
54%) but less than 20% of all practice injuries. The majority of
practice injuries involved noncontact injury mechanisms. Knee
internal derangements, ankle ligament sprains, and concus-
sions were the leading game injuries that resulted in 10 or more
days of time lost as a result of injury.
Recommendations: Ankle ligament sprains, knee internal
derangements, and concussions are common injuries in wom-
en’s soccer. Research efforts have focused on knee injuries
and concussions in soccer, and further epidemiologic data are
needed to determine if preventive strategies will help to alter
the incidence of these injuries. Furthermore, the specific nature
of the .

E-sports can be defined as competitive video gaming facilitated by human-computer interfaces. Most commonly, e-sports involve organized multiplayer video game competitions between professional players. The growth of e-sports in Korea was influenced by increased broadband internet access following an economic crisis, which led many unemployed people to engage in gaming. In 2000, Korea established an e-sports governing body to promote and regulate the industry. While e-sports' popularity justifies calling some games sports for some, others argue they will never be "true sports" and physical exertion is not required. There is ongoing debate around classifying e-sports as mind sports or legitimate competitive activities.
This document appears to be a presentation about sports marketing and the sports industry by Dr. Pongsak Swatdikiat. The presentation contains the following key points:
1. It discusses the changing nature of sports as both entertainment and big business, with references to the global sports market size and major sports brands.
2. It outlines the structure of the sports industry, including the various stakeholders like consumers, sports organizations, equipment manufacturers, and media.
3. It examines the different types of sports products and how they meet the needs of consumers, from sporting events and goods to training services and sports information.
1. The document discusses gender diversity and inclusion in esports, noting that only 5% of esports industry roles and professional players are women.
2. It describes research from the Women in Games Job network that found an "awareness gap" around esports among women aged 18-24.
3. The University of Salford is working to promote esports careers and break down stereotypes by giving public access to esports spaces on campus and partnering with local organizations.
The document proposes an eSports academy that aims to provide a healthy alternative to the intense lifestyles of professional eSports players. It notes that most players currently spend 15-18 hours a day gaming and many abuse drugs, leading to early retirement around age 25. The academy would offer coaching from psychologists and veteran players, focusing on team training, data-driven methods, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle without long gaming sessions or drug use. It seeks to help talented teenagers and students improve their skills while avoiding the pitfalls of the pro scene.
The document discusses Corporate Games, a multi-sport festival and competition for companies and corporations. It aims to increase staff engagement and morale through team building with sports. Over 50 sports are offered to allow participation from all skill levels. Events are organized professionally at quality facilities. Competitions take place year-round in various locations. Companies earn points and medals to compete for trophies across divisions. It provides benefits for both employee health and business partnerships.

Investigating Motivation Drives of Attitudinal and Behavioural Fan Loyalty in...Mauro de Oliveira
This study investigated the motivational drivers of attitudinal and behavioral loyalty for fans of football and other sports in Brazil. An online survey was conducted with 483 valid responses from Brazil. Structural equation modeling found that the six motivation factors (interest in team, socialization, aesthetics, sport knowledge, interest in sport, and vicarious achievement) explained 64-69% of the variation in attitudinal loyalty and 20-29% of behavioral loyalty, depending on sport. Similarities and differences existed between football and other sport fans. The results provide insights to help sports marketers formulate effective strategies to develop and maintain loyal fan bases.
