13、e., the person between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectations and on societys definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with patt

14、erns of prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most of the second decade of ones life. Furthermore, the length of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and econ

15、omic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in the latter pan of the nineteenth century in the United States, and more universally, the industrialization of an agricultural society. In modem society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal

Social ones have been replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to increased recognition and social status. For example, grade school graduation, high school graduation and college gr

17、aduation constitute such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes and social recognition, the significance of each depends on the socio-economic status and the educational ambition of the individual. Ceremonies for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of

18、 status roles, right, privileges and responsibilities. It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective and restrictive aspects of childhood and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted.

At the age of eighteen the law provides adult responsibilities as well as rights: the young man can now be a soldier, bu

21、t he also can marry without parental permission. At the age of twenty-one the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can write, he can buy liquor, he can enter into financial contracts, and he is entitled to mn for public office. No additional basic fights are acquired as a fun

Every year we give such a lecture to introduce students to comes offere

41、d by our department concerning sports, and we find that people usually respond with great interest to thee courses. So as usual, the purpose of this lecture today is twofold: one-we want you to experience a university lecture, to give you a taste of what listening to a university lecture is like, an

42、d two-we want you to find out something about the Sports Studies program at this university. So feel free to ask any questions during the talk and Ill do my best to answer them. Right-so what does a course in Sports Studies involve? Well, you wouldnt be blamed for not knowing the answer to this ques

43、tion because Sports Studies as a discipline is still comparatively new, just as our department was established only five years ago. But sports is a growing area and one which is now firmly established at our university. To give you a general idea first, I would say that there are three distinct stra

44、nds to Sports Studies and you would need to choose fairly early on just which direction you wanted to follow. And Ill just run over these before telling you further information about each of them. Firstly, weve got the Sports Psychology strand, secondly, weve got the Sports Management strand, and la

45、st, but not least, theres the Sports Physiology strand. So just to remember theres Sports Psychology, Sports Management, and Sports Physiology. Lets look first at Sports Psychology. Now the people who study Sports Psychology want to work with top athletes, and theyre looking at what will take those

46、athletes that one percent extra. What makes them win? When all other things are equal, when physically all other things are equal, they want to know what are the mental factors involved? The Sports Psychologist works closely with the athletes through his or her training program and becomes an integr

47、al part of the team. In fact you could say that they play just as important a role as the coach. They can not only encourage athletes to perform better and better, but also help them recover from failures, which are a natural part of any athletes career. Personally, I think the latter role is even m

48、ore important. So if youre interested in what makes people win, this could be the area for you. Now secondly, weve got the strand which I referred to as Sports Management and this goes hand in hand with the area of Sports Marketing. So you might like to think of this area as having two branches: Management and Marketing. On the Management side we look at issues relating to the running of sports clubs, management of athletes, that sort of thing. This mainly focuses on the smooth running of sports bodies. But then on the oth
