Role Responsibilities

Role ambiguity—the lack of clear, consistent information regarding one’s role, responsibilities, or position—is a critical factor in team sports in which alignment of roles is vital to collective performance and team success. However, how role ambiguity evolves over time and is managed is understudied. This qualitative longitudinal investigation examined how role ambiguities emerged and impacted the members of a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I collegiate men’s basketball team. Working within the organizational tensions theoretical framework, data on role ambiguity were collected through participant observation and ethnographic interviews and thematically coded and analyzed. Findings indicated that role ambiguities, such as with player leadership, were influenced by numerous contextual factors and recursively influenced the meanings of some of those factors. These complexities also produced tensions, and members’ attempts to manage these tensions produced dualities that further increased role ambiguity. When members realized they could not resolve ambiguities related to their roles, they concocted unorthodox role management strategies to accomplish their responsibilities amidst the ambiguity.

The purpose of this study was to create a wifi module-based training tool to be used in a special training such as reaction training to increase reaction especially in passing technique in basketball games. The method used in this study was research and development method. The samples of this study were students who were the members of UPI men's basketball team. The results indicate that the wifi module-based training tool is appropriate and there is an increase of reaction scores from the pre-test to post-test with the significance value of 0,000 0.05. Therefore, this training tool can be used for periodic reaction training. AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini untuk terciptanya sebuah media latihan berbasis modul wifi untuk digunakan dalam pelatihan khusus seperti pelatihan reaction sehingga dapat menghasilkan peningkatan reaction terutama dalam teknik passing pada cabang olahraga bola basket. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian research and development. Sampel dalam penelitian adalah mahasiswa yang tergabung dalam tim putra basket UPI. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa media latihan berbasis modul wifi telah layak digunakan dan terdapatnya peningkatan dari skor pretest dan posttest pada pelatihan reaction dengan nilai signifikansi 0,000 0,05. Selanjutnya media latihan ini dapat digunakan untuk pelatihan reaction secara berkala.

Postural Analysis

Abstract The aim of this paper was to study a number of 34 athletes practicing different kinds of sports activities, in order to determine whether they have developed a certain spine deficiency and if there is any association between the type of sports they practice and the postural changes they develop. Methods: In this study we have enrolled 12 members of the men’s volleyball team of the “West University of Timisoara”, 9 members of the men’s football team ASU Politehnica Timișoara, and 13 members of the men’s basketball team BC SCM Timișoara. Postural analysis was carried out with the Zebris CMS-10 from the mechatronics department of the Politehinca University Timisoara, a device that determines the spatial coordinates of the spinous processes. From the obtained data we have established the angle of the spinal deviation both sagittal and frontal, in a similar manner as with the Cobb method. Results: We have observed a reduction in the spinal curvature in volleyball players; 8 out of 12 had values under the normal range that can in time lead to a rigid spine. 7 players from the basketball team presented values out of the normal range for kyphosis and 8 of them for lordosis, while all except two of the team players present with a front plane deviation of the spine. From the evaluation of the football players from ASU Politehnica Timișoara we cannot generalize a deviation in the sagittal plane, but all of them present deviations in the frontal plane. Conclusion: Professional athletes can also present postural changes determined by the positions they most frequently adopt depending on the type of sports they practice.

Do So

This article is a study of an Aboriginal men’s sport team in an Australian regional community and their experiences with non-Aboriginal teams and their players. The data were drawn from interviews and conversations with the players of the Ballarat Wanderers men’s basketball team and the analysis is grounded in the inferential racism work of Hall (1995). Investigation of the Wanderers revealed that participation provided the players an uncommon opportunity to participate in an Aboriginal team of players, coaches, and managers. The findings, however, indicate that even though the Wanderers achieved some success as a social, political, and sporting group, they do so in an environment which is inferentially racist.

This case is a creative illustration of organizational politics in a National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) sports setting. It includes the exploration of several key concepts: political will, political skill, political perceptions, political behavior, and political influence theory. Upon arriving to his new job at the Division I level, an assistant men’s basketball coach finds himself to be a key piece in a political chess match between the highly successful Head Coach of the men’s basketball team and the Athletic Director (AD). The issue at hand is the hiring of the new assistant coach by the AD without the support of the head coach. The hire is an attempt by the AD to subvert and eventually replace the legendary head coach who, in the eyes of the AD, is long past his prime. Accordingly, the new hire encounters a variety of political scenarios, including strong resistance from the players and coaching staff of the men’s basketball team. This case, with the addition of detailed teaching notes, is designed to highlight salient elements of organizational politics to undergraduate and graduate sport management students, and explain how they can successfully apply this information and more effectively operate in the political sports arena.
