Introduction

In the contemporary times, the popularity of sports in the United States of America has grown immensely. As a consequence, the outcomes have been significant as one can notice the considerable increase in the revenues for the NCAA (the National Collegiate Athletic Association) and the colleges that participate in athletic events. Due to this reason, the issue concerning the compensation of student athletes beyond their athletic scholarships has become a hot debate in the American society. As one could expect, this controversy is also supported and opposed by many people on various grounds. As far as Continue reading...

Abstract

It is not easy to be a successful sportsman or an outstanding athlete today, as one has to prove to not only himself and the world, but also be ready to take care of the expectations of their coach, promoter, and sponsor. It seems the world no longer wants athletes but some freaks with incredible power and strength all the time. Thus, it is no surprise to see most athletes turning to taking steroids to up their performance and remain ahead of their rivals. The athletes too are becoming more demanding and have higher expectations from their bodies. The Continue reading...

Sports at colleges are not only an entertainment and camaraderie arena in which students, parents and professional sports scouts follow closely but are also a major source of revenue. According to a recent audited financial statement issued recently (Strachan), NCCA almost hit 1 USD billion at USD 989 million for FY2014. This is a sum which practically exceeds revenues achieved in smaller countries from major sources of income. Interestingly, NCAA revenue is, mainly, derived from marketing, advertising and sales sources, all of which promote popular student athletes on campus, TV (particularly giants such as ESPN) and on on-demand platforms.

Competing for student athletes has acquired fiercer momentum over recent years. By assuming different images, elite and non-elite colleges and universities are pursuing different promotional and marketing strategies to attract student-athletes. Conventional promotional and marketing strategies include, for example, TV ads and on-campus bulletins and announcements. As new platforms of expression emerge – most notably New Media – universities are grappling with new ways to enhance brand equity and project specific images. Tapping into new social media as new platforms and means of promotion and brand marketing, universities are, indeed, responding to growing needs for developing more effective, recruitment strategies (Judson, Continue reading...

Introduction

Traditionally sports are highly gender-conscious and are always in strict adherence to male culture, dominance and refusal of gender variations outside that of the traditional female and male. This institution defines and perpetuates society’s image of masculinity and rejection of homosexuality—the LGB (lesbian, gays and bisexual) which breeds fear of being identified as gay, and deny them the ability to express their gender orientation in fear of ruining their careers and being ostracized by their peers. This paper attempts to prove that media and negative recruiting promotes homophobia in intercollegiate sports.
Homosexuality and homophobia is perpetuated by Continue reading...

The issue on salaries of athletes has been a controversial and burning topic for decades. One may say that it is unfair that athletes have such big salaries while they don’t work same hours as simple worker with smaller salary do. Another may claim overall, sport is not very significant for our community at all. Therefore, all athletes don’t have an essential value to all the people, when we speak of the sums they are getting paid.
Nevertheless, it is hard to say that in the United States one can see a socialist community. Furthermore, some jobs Continue reading...

The practice of PEDs had a long history of the Olympic Games.

Women participation in the labor force is a key ingredient to economic development

Abstract
The concept of women’s work is an ancient practice that distinguishes the roles of women and women as presumed by traditional beliefs and the inherent attitude by subsequent generations. The female gender has encountered subordination to men as they are required to take care of domestic activities while men undertake labor work and decision-making process. Unfortunately, the inherent notion is likely to lose its ground as women reinforce their effort to push for equality in freedom of expression, collective approach to society care, engagement in political activities and their capability to deliver quality output in the labor Continue reading...

Steroids according to Klugger (2014) is a class of synthetic or natural organic compounds characterized by a 17 carbon atom molecular structures arranged in four rings (sec. 1). Being carbon-based compounds, steroids exhibit significant biochemical properties at both the cellular and tissue levels in the human body. Naturally, in the human body the steroid groups typically include all the human sex hormones, the bile acids, and the adrenal cortical hormones. Thus, according to Scovell (n.d.), steroids represent a family of somatic lipid molecules (amphipathic molecules) such as cholesterol (sec. 1). What is of primary concern, however, is steroid use Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered the major energy source of the body and like in any other system, it is used to initiate and carry out a contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. This contraction causes body movements and maintenance of equilibrium. For a contraction to take place, a large amount of energy is broken down from ATP to Adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The amount of breaking down of ATP into ADP is directly proportional to the amount of work on a muscle. Continue reading...
