Die Wirkung von Yoga auf die Lebensqualität und das Wohlbefinden von Bewohner*innen stationärer Altenpflegeeinrichtungen: Möglichkeiten und Grenzen (Dortmunder Beiträge zur Sozialforschung)
by Svenja HeltenIn diesem Buch rückt das „gute Leben“ im hohen Alter in den Fokus: So ist in den westlichen Industrienationen ein stetiger Anstieg der allgemeinen Lebenserwartung zu verzeichnen. Die gewonnene Lebenszeit geht jedoch nicht automatisch mit einem guten Gesundheitszustand einher: Gerade Hochaltrige sind häufig von einer oder mehreren chronischen Erkrankungen betroffen, die mit zahlreichen funktionellen Einschränkungen in ihrem Alltag verbunden sind und oftmals den Umzug in eine stationäre Einrichtung der Altenpflege bedingen. Die damit verbundenen Umstände bergen das Risiko, die Lebensqualität der Betroffenen zu verringern. Eine Fördermöglichkeit könnte in der Einführung von Yoga-Kursen bestehen, da empirische Untersuchungen mit verschiedenen Studienpopulationen die Schlussfolgerung nahelegen, dass sich eine regelmäßige Yoga-Praxis positiv auf verschiedene Parameter auswirkt, die mit den Konstrukten von Lebensqualität und Wohlbefinden assoziiert sind. Für die vorliegende Arbeit wurde daher ein Yoga-Kurskonzept entwickelt, das den Bedürfnissen von Bewohner*innen von stationären Altenpflegeeinrichtungen ohne Demenzerkrankungen gerecht zu werden anstrebt und in Form einer Pilotstudie in einer stationären Altenpflegeeinrichtung erprobt.

Diego Maradona: A Socio-Cultural Study (Critical Research in Football)
by Pablo Brescia Mariano PazThis is the first book in English to closely examine the life of Diego Maradona from socio-cultural perspectives, exploring how his status as an icon, a popular sporting hero, and a political figurehead has been culturally constructed, reproduced, and manipulated. The volume looks at representations of Maradona across a wide variety of media, including literature, cinema, popular music, printed and online press, and radio, and in different countries around the world, to cast new light on topics such as the instrumentality of sporting heroes and the links among sport, nationalism, and ideology. It shows how the life of Maradona – from his origins in the barrio through to his rise to god-like status in Naples and as a postcolonial symbol of courage and resistance against imperial powers across the global south, alongside scandal and his fall from grace – powerfully illustrates themes such as the dynamics of gender, justice, and affect that underpin the study of sport, culture, and society. This is essential reading for anybody with an interest in football, sport studies, media studies, cultural studies, or sociology.
Diego Maradona: and Other Conversations (The Last Interview Series)
by Melville HouseA series of provocative, moving and illuminating interviews with (arguably) the greatest soccer player ever...Diego Armando Maradona&’s death on November 25, 2020, at the age of 60, was a death that had been foretold many times. Even when he was alive accounts of his life had a tragic register, of the kid from the slums whose magical talent on the soccer field was squandered by drug addiction. But his death allowed millions of people to ponder both the tragedy and triumph of his life, of a man who was arguably the world&’s greatest soccer player, who was also a champion for the world&’s poor. Adorned in the talismanic number 10 shirt that Maradona made his own while playing Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli and Argentina, hundreds of thousands flocked to the presidential palace in Buenos Aires to pay their last respects; millions around the world were similarly moved, creating makeshift altars and murals in his honor. Vatican News called him &“soccer&’s poet.&”The interviews collected in Diego Maradona: The Last Interview span the breadth of his life and career as a player, coach, and public figure, providing a panoramic and extremely candid accounting of his rollercoaster life, many translated into English for the first time. Included in the book are encounters with Pele and Gary Lineker, who Maradona played against in the 1986 England-Argentina game that sent shockwaves around the world. The book also features his reflections on his stuggles with drug addiction, the highs and low of his experience playing for Napoli, his strong views on Lionel Messi, the governance of world soccer, and his worries about the impact of Covid on the world's poor. Maradona: The Last Interview is a fitting tribute to a complicated and brilliant soccer player who moved the world and changed the game of soccer forever.Introduction by Roger Bennett, the co-host of Peacock's Men in Blazers show

Different Class: The Untold Story of English Cricket
by Duncan StoneIn telling the story of cricket from the bottom up, Different Class demonstrates how the "quintessentially English" game has done more to divide, rather than unite, the English.In 1963, the West Indian Marxist C.L.R. James posed the deceptively benign question: "What do they know of cricket, who only cricket know?"A challenge to the public to re-consider cricket and its meaning by placing the game in its true social, political and economic context, James was, all too subtly, attempting to counter the game&’s orthodox history that, he argued, had played a key role in the formation of national culture. As a consequence, he failed, and the history of cricket in England has retained the same stresses and lineaments as it did a century ago — until now.In examining recreational rather than professional (first-class) cricket, Different Class does not simply challenge the widely accepted orthodoxy of English cricket, it demonstrates how the values and belief systems at its heart were, under the guise of amateurism, intentionally developed in order to divide the English along class lines at every level of the game. If the creation of opposing class-based cricket cultures in the North and South of England grew out of this process, the institutional structures developed by those in charge of English cricket continue to discriminate. But, as much as the exclusion of Black and South Asian cricketers from the recreational mainstream is the most obvious example, it is social class that remains the greatest barrier to participation in what used to be the national game.
Different Strokes: Serena, Venus, and the Unfinished Black Tennis Revolution
by Cecil HarrisThe days of tennis as a country club sport for the aristocracy have long passed, as have the pre–Open era days when black players faced long odds just to be invited to the four Grand Slam events. An entire generation of sports fans has grown up seeing Venus and Serena Williams as the gold standard in American professional tennis. Although the Williams sisters have done more than any other players to make tennis accessible to a diverse population, it&’s not as if the tennis revolution is over. When you watch tennis next, take a close look at the umpire, the person sitting in the high chair of authority at courtside. Look at the tournament referee and the tournament director, the officials who run the tournament. In those seats of power and influence, blacks are still woefully underrepresented.Different Strokes chronicles the rise of the Williams sisters, as well as other champions of color, closely examining how African Americans are collectively faring in tennis, on the court and off. Despite the success of the Williams sisters and the election of former pro player Katrina Adams as the U.S. Tennis Association&’s first black president, top black players still receive racist messages via social media and sometimes in public. The reality is that while significant progress has been made in the sport, much work remains before anything resembling equality is achieved.

Digital Media Sport: Technology, Power and Culture in the Network Society (Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies #51)
by Brett Hutchins and David RoweLive broadband streaming of the 2008 Beijing Olympics accounted for 2,200 of the estimated 3,600 total hours shown by the American NBC-Universal networks. At the 2012 London Olympics, unprecedented multi-platforming embraced online, mobile devices, game consoles and broadcast television, with the BBC providing 2,500 hours of live coverage, including every competitive event, much in high definition and some in 3D. The BBC also had 12 million requests for video on mobile phones and 9.2 million browsers on its mobile Olympics website and app. This pattern will only intensify at future sport mega events like the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics, both of which will take place in Brazil. Increasingly, when people talk of the screen that delivers footage of their favorite professional sport, they are describing desktop, laptop, and tablet computer screens as well as television and mobile handsets. Digital Media Sport analyzes the intersecting issues of technological change, market power, and cultural practices that shape the contemporary global sports media landscape. The complexity of these related issues demands an interdisciplinary approach that is adopted here in a series of thematically-organized essays by international scholars working in media studies, Internet studies, sociology, cultural studies, and sport studies. .
