Findings from various studies indicate that professional sports teams do not make a significant contribution to a city in terms of its economy, tourism or even image. The purpose of this paper is to explore and question, from a lo…

Penalty kicks in soccer: An empirical analysis of shooting strategies and goalkeepers’ preferences
The outcomes of penalty kicks in soccer have assumed the utmost importance in the last few decades. However, it seems that shooting strategy is often based more on intuition than on careful research. To find out what should be the kicker’s best strategy, two studies were conducted. In the first one, data about 311 penalty kicks in top leagues and championships worldwide were collected and analysed. The results suggested that kicks to the upper ar…
Sport Policy in a Transformed Socio-Political Setting: The Case of Israel
This article describes the impact of socio-political transformation processes on sport policy through the Israeli experience. A framework was developed for analyzing learning processes, utilizing the argument that under highly centralized systems, citizens' preferences regarding any area of life, including sport, are strongly affected by governmental policy. We show that in Israel the lack of a significant sport policy during the centralized form…
Gaining and sustaining competitive advantage: On the strategic similarities between Maccabi Tel Aviv BC and FC Bayern München
This paper investigates the sources of the competitive advantage of sport clubs in the business environment. The analysis uses the Resource-Based View (RBV) as a model for identifying significant resources that clubs employ in their effort to gain and sustain competitive advantage. Using two historical case examples, the Israeli basketball club of Maccabi Tel Aviv and the German soccer club of Bayern Munich, we identify the strategic resources wh…

The Effect of Extra-Curricular Mental Training with Biofeedback on Short Running Performance of Adolescent Physical Education Pupils
In this study, the relationship between mental training with biofeedback and performance was investigated. An adapted version of the Wingate five-step approach was used as a mental preparation technique for enhancing the short-running performance among 16-18-year-old adolescent physical education pupils. Participants ( n = 79) were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (a) experimental - regular training plus three stages of the Wingate men…
Intellectuals” and “Jocks” in the Soccer Commentators’ Booth in Israel
The current study examines two recent developments in the production of soccer coverage in the Israeli media: (a) the introduction of “intellectuals” and soccer “jocks” to the soccer commentators’ booth, and (b) the debate about soccer commentary that has followed this trend. These developments are delineated from the perspective of the commentators themselves through in-depth interviews and a systematic survey of their statements in the media. T…
The Tutoring Process and its Manifestation in the Classroom Behaviour of Tutors and Tutees
Three case studies were conducted of seventh graders teaching mathematics to third graders, in place of their classroom teacher, applying the Learning Through Teaching (LTT) method. Audio and video recording provided information on tutoring sessions. Trained observers coded the behaviours of the tutors and tutees during the tutoring sessions and in their respective classes during mathematics and other lessons. The results show that when tutors ar…
Performance of Pilots and Nonpilots on an Attention-Determined Psychomotor Task
The authors investigated the performance of pilots and nonpilots on an attention-determined psychomotor task. Twenty male military helicopter pilots and 20 male physical education students completed 5 blocks of 10 trials of focusing and shifting dart-throwing tasks; in each group, 10 participants started with the shifting task, and 10 started with the focusing task. Two 2X2X2X5 (Group X Order X Task X Trial Block) analyses of variance conducted f…
Physiological and cognitive responses to cold exposure in 11–12-year-old boys
This study investigated the effects of cold and exercise in the cold on the physiological and cognitive responses of 11-12-year-old boys. Children were dressed in sweat suits and exposed to cold (CD, 7°C), cool (CL, 13°C), and neutral (N, 22°C) environments for 110 minutes, with 10 minutes of light exercise (1 watt · kg body wt -1 ) midway through the exposure. A 30-minute "recovery" in neutral conditions followed each session. Session order was …
Israeli Women in the Olympic and Maccabiah Games, 1932-1992: Patterns of Stability and Change
This research is an initial attempt to sociologically investigate women in Israeli elite sport. Theoretically, this work is based mainly on the segmentation of the labor market approach. The frequency, percentages and proportion of Israeli male to female participation in both the Olympic and Maccabiah Games held between 1932 and 1992 have shown considerable stability (about 3-4 men per 1 woman), with the Olympic Games having a somewhat lower fema…

Rule- And Norm-Related Behavior and the Individual Psychological Crisis in Competitive Situations: Theory and Research Findings
Four modes of behavior considered contrary to expectations and all associated with rules and norms of competition are investigated in this study within the context of psychological crisis. These behaviors are against the rules of the competitive situation and are (a) either fair or unfair, and (b) either called or not called by the officials. Twent-eight basketball experts responded to a “rule- and norm-related behavior” questionnaire. The expert…
