"Why an integrated program? Because
there simply aren't enough adaptive
athletes for an adaptive-only program.
Kudos to [the club] for being willing to
accept me as a member and to the
coaches who have been great..."

"I've had a couple of people ask about
my vision and I'm happy to answer
questions. However, most of them start
with, 'So how much vision do you have -
75, 80%? When I tell them I have less
than 10%, they often say, 'Wow, you sure
don't look like it.'
They have no idea that while it may look
like I am simply grabbing an oar and
walking out to the boat, every move I
make is a calculated one... I make sure I
am never the first one to the oar racks
to avoid the embarrassing situation of
whacking the surrounding boats like
piñatas."

"Once we launch, things get a little
easier. Rowing is a very repetitive sport
and when things are going well, there is
a predictable rhythm to follow. But this
is a novice program and all of us are still
working on technique so being
consistent is not our strong suit yet."

"I understand the arguments against
offering adaptive categories. I realize
that it takes more volunteers and more
set up time. But really! We are taking
the time to set up these events anyways.
It's discrimination not to offer adaptive
categories. It sends out the message
that adaptive racers are not as
important... Don't we as adaptive people
have enough challenges in trying to keep
fit? Having to remind local race
organizers every single season that we
are here and want to race is getting a
little old."

of you who don't run and aren't sure
what that time means... it means 'if you
are missing a leg we're happy to have
you here.' "

Discussion
"For human beings, advocacy is a
default setting. We seek change for the
better; we struggle to protect that
what we have. Advocacy is a plea for
what we want and see needed."
(Stake & Rosu, 2012, p. 45)

The AthletesFirst Project
Discussion
"It would be difficult to impossible to
try to be equally 'advocative' all the
time. There are times and places for
full effort, and times and places for
keeping our partisanship unexpressed.
We have multiple advocacies and they
cannot all be shouted simultaneously.
For physical and political reasons, our
advocacies are intermittent."
(Stake & Rosu, 2012, p. 48)

This document discusses disability sport. It begins with an introduction to medical and social models of disability. The medical model views disability as a limitation within the individual, while the social model sees disability as caused by barriers in society that limit participation. The document then outlines key barriers to participation in sport for those with disabilities, such as lack of accessible facilities and health issues. It provides a brief history of the Paralympic movement and classification systems used in disability sport events to group competitors fairly. The document raises some ethical issues around classification and inclusion in disability sport.

Pole vault(trabajo)Jorge Alberto Gómez León

��

Pole vault is an athletic event where competitors use a long, flexible pole to jump over a horizontal bar. Competitors may begin vaulting at any announced height or pass. Three missed vaults at any height eliminates the vaulter. The winner is the one who clears the greatest height during the final. Tiebreakers are fewest misses at the tied height then overall. If still tied, a jump-off starts at the next greater height. The female world record holder is Elena Isinbayeva of Russia at 5.06 meters. The men's world record holder is Sergey Bubka of Ukraine who holds the outdoor record of 6.14 meters set in 1994.

Indiana Motor Fitness Test awasthi15

��

Motor fitness refers to an athlete's ability to perform physical tasks effectively and is defined by components like agility, balance, coordination, power, speed and reaction time. In 1943, the Indiana Motor Fitness Test was developed at Indiana University to assess motor fitness in boys using field tests. In 1944 and 1948, additional physical fitness tests were developed for high school students and primary school students respectively. Common test items included pull ups, vertical jumps, straddle chins, floor push ups and standing broad jumps. Tests were administered by having students perform exercises like straddle chins and squat thrusts within a time limit while being measured and scored. Equipment used included horizontal bars, jumping boards, measuring tapes, lime powder, stop

The document provides an overview of how CrossFit is viewed through the lenses of four subdisciplines of kinesiology: sport psychology, sport history, sport sociology, and exercise physiology. It discusses how CrossFit creates communities and competitions, reflects American culture and values, elicits varied opinions both within and outside its community, and provides anaerobic training benefits while also potentially overtraining risks. The author concludes kinesiology is an important major given its focus on human movement and health, though suggests some classes could better integrate physical activity and health perspectives for PACC majors.

SFScon21 - Ivanova Iustina - Recommendations for climbersSouth Tyrol Free Software Conference

Sport climbing is a relatively recent sport, and many new climbing routes are continuously built all around the world. Climbers are interested to climb routes which are: challenging, but within their capabilities; enjoyable; suitable for training; and safe. We would like to first understand the preferences of the climbers by monitoring their behaviour, and then to build a recommender system for supporting them in choosing suitable climbing routes. Modeling a climber’s behavior will be made by using both explicit feedback, e.g., by leveraging data coming from mobile climbing applications (s.a. Vertical Life), and by using implicit feedback, which can come from data acquired by accelerometers placed on the wall or on the body of the climber. By combining these two data sources, we aim at building a climber’s profile and based on such a profile, to generate recommendations. Aiming at the overall goal of building a climbing routes recommender system, we have now developed machine learning models to predict whether the climber would agree with the “official” difficulty level of the climbing routes. Usually, climbing route difficulty is given by the route setter or a person who initially built the. However, climbers might have different opinions about the grade of a route, hence in disagreement with the route setter. In our application scenario, climbers manually insert their grades for routes that they tried, by using a mobile application (`Vertical-Life’). We use a range of additional data in order to model why they disagree with the setter. We have created a dataset of indoor and outdoor lead climbs, where the official grade and the climbers’ opinions are stored. We have then implemented two ML models to predict the grade difficulty given by the climbers: linear regression and matrix factorization. For the linear regression model, we constructed features of the climber-route interaction which describe how and when the climber deviates from the setter’s grade, and for matrix factorization, we modelled the grade prediction as a special type of rating prediction problem. We have then used singular value decomposition with normalization taking into consideration the route setter’s grade. We show that the models’ predictions are closer to the climbers’ opinions than a baseline model. In the future, we would like to develop a full system that could be also able to identify climbers in a climbing gym, detect what type of activities they perform, and measure their performance. This system could be used to enrich the climber’s profile and to complete the design of the recommender. Last, but not least, we would like to incorporate the proposed solution into the Vertical-Life app.

PE Physical and Personal Qualitiesknoxpe

��

Physical qualities like height, strength, weight, and agility can affect what activities a person can participate in and compete at a high level in, though some qualities can be gained through training. Personal qualities like determination, motivation, leadership, and sportsmanship are also important for performance and are not visible but make up who someone is. Both physical and personal qualities are important for success in different roles like being a gymnast, high jumper, or team captain.

Deanna Kuhn was a psychologist who developed a theory of metacognitive development, which focuses on how children develop the ability to think about their own thinking processes and learning strategies over time. Her theory proposes that children progress through different stages of metacognitive development as they gain experience solving problems and reflecting on their learning. Kuhn's research examined how children's metacognitive skills develop and the role of discussion and instruction in facilitating this development.

Here are the key advantages and disadvantages of prototyping: Advantages: - Prototyping allows users to provide early feedback to improve the final product design. Early feedback can help identify usability issues. - Building prototypes is cheaper than developing the entire product and then finding flaws late in the development cycle. - Prototypes help visualize abstract ideas or concepts to allow stakeholders to understand and provide input on the proposed design. Disadvantages: - Prototyping requires time and resources to build prototypes that may end up being discarded. This diverts resources away from full product development. - Prototypes often only include key features and may lack polish or functionality of the final product, making
