Investigation of the Most Favorable Sport Practiced by Youth

Introduction

The shooting Club in Mohandessin is a very famous sporting club in

Cairo. Almost all the sports are practiced in that club as it the

biggest.. Most of People living in Mohandessin district are members of

that club and most of them practice one or more sport. The sports are

played more frequently during the weekend which is Friday and Saturday

as during the week they are busy either with studying or work. I

realized that some sports are practiced more than others and I also

that the weight of the people was affected by the kind of sport they

play.

Aim:

To investigate the most favorable sport practiced by males and by

females between the age of 21 and 25 and the relation between the

sport and weight.

Prediction :

Since football is the most popular game in Egypt, I predict that

football game will be the most practiced sport among male youth of the

age between 21 and 25.

I also predict that aerobics will be the most practiced game by women

in the same age range as at that age ladies are more concerned about

their body shape and in the same time in Egypt women prefer sports

that they can practice at home as some of them are not totally free to

go to the club whenever they want.

Collecting data:

To be able to collect the necessary data for the investigation, I had

to look for people playing different sports. I decided to collect the

datum from the shooting club which is close to my home. I went to the

registration office of the club and got the following data from them.

The table below shows how many males and females from age 21 to 25 who

are members of the club.

  • Case Analysis: SPORTPLAY: The Lure And Peril

    816 Words  | 2 Pages

    The following is a case study analysis on SPORTPLAY. The case involves a man by the name of Chis who is the Executive Director of the Provincial Arts Board (PAB). Until recently PAB was receiving government funding but when PAB failed to satisfy three of the five standards for government funding, PAB fell victim to government funding cutbacks. These cutbacks led Executive Director Chris to begin searching for non-traditional types of funding. Chris ultimately came up with the idea to connect with sports communities that he knew were always in the need of financial assistance. His initial thought was that if he could legalize gambling on sporting events that he could alleviate both parties’ financial issues. With some luck and after four months of hard work Chris was able to get roughly 33 associations that consisted of sport and art. Even several politicians jumped around this idea because saw the potential in replacing all government support for elite sports and the art community (INSERT CITATION).

    In his article Boyhood, Organized Sports, and the Construction of Masculinities, Messner discusses how men construct “masculine identities” in which certain identities are formed by such factors as the race and socioeconomic status of individuals. Messner in his work mentions and summarizes his interviews with 30 former athletes, all of whom are male. In his analyzation of these interviews, Messner tries to unravel the concept of sports being a gendering institution, something put in place for a mere purpose of making men more masculine. He mentions that sports are in place to “masculinize” the mind and the body of males.

    Engaging in sports plays a significant role in promoting health and wellness among children and adolescents. Although sports participation provides numerous physical and social benefits, it also has a downside: the risk of sports-related injuries.

  • Effects of Youth Involvement in Organized Sports

    By now almost everyone has heard about child obesity in America, but just how high are the rates? The answer might surprise you. According to Nate Whitman, a writer for The Huffington Post, “rates of obesity have doubled in 2- to 5-year-olds, quadrupled in 6- to 11-year-olds, and tripled in 12- to 19-year-olds” (par. 2). This is due to more children staying inside and only doing activities such as video games. They do not interact with anyone besides whomever they are talking to online. These findings are astonishing to say the least. What can we do to combat this? Involvement in organized sports helps children develop their social skills, improve their academic progress, and stay active.

    Pros and Cons of Children in Sports On Friday, October 18, 2013, Aledo High School and Western Hills High School squared off in a football game. It was a great game for those rooting for Aledo High because they won the game 91 – 0. At the time these two teams played, ESPN of Dallas/Fort Worth had Aledo ranked number one in the state in class 4A high school football. With a massacre like that, one may ask if the Western Hills Football team knew why they had lost so badly. Would this game have made state and national news if it had been played but no score was kept?

  • The Influence of Sports on a Teens Life

    990 Words  | 2 Pages

    At some point students has had trouble either at home or at school and need to release stress or tension. Some of these times the teens choose to do activities that are wrong. Youth want to feel comfort and accepted, therefore they sometimes will do events that are not well for their body just to fit in with a group. There is evidence that proves sports can reduce the likeliness of teens committing crimes, or getting into trouble. Tees look at the negative substances such as drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, and think that they can do whatever they want. Many teens look at these activities and think they are “exciting” or “cool” and want to try them, but if they are busy with sports they most likely will not be as easily influenced. Participation in sports helps keep teens out of trouble by taking up their free time which could be used for mischief, gives them an opportunity to meet new friends for positive role models, provides teens an outlet to develop a higher self-esteem, and also enables student to set goals for on and off the field.

  • Historical and Sociocultural Foundations of PE and Sports

    3308 Words  | 7 Pages

    Sports in America have many different levels of competition, each with a particular purpose that correlates to their philosophical position. However, I believe that the overall philosophical trend of the sports construction in America is one of Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is an extension of the theory of natural selection made famous by Charles Darwin. The idea is that the fittest individuals are the ones that are be capable of leaving the most amount of offspring, in turn having an impact on the future direction of the particular species. This is where the mantra of “only the strongest survive” originates from. While it is true that at the younger competition levels this philosophical idea does not hold well to sports, however, consider the following analogy: A large pool of athletes in the younger age groups are like the starting population size of a species. However, as the age groups rise, like to high school, college, and maybe to professional leagues, the pool of athletes becomes vastly depleted. This is very similar to individuals in a species dying out to various causes, the idea is that only the strongest survive. Athletes competing at the professional level are so competitive that sometimes they will seek to circumvent the rules of the sport in order to survive and thrive. That is why the philosophical construct of sport in America is that of Social Darwinism. Professional athletes are at the top of the food chain and are under fierce competition and scrutiny from their fellow athletes, and the ever watchful eye of the media. The result is athletes tend to treat their sport more as a game of survival and compete ruthlessly in order to be the best instead of playing for a pure love of the game.
