This document presents the video data set that has been recently collected within the FP7 APIDIS project [1]. The acquisition setting was deployed around a basket-ball court, and consists in a set of 7 calibrated IP cameras, each one collecting 2 Mpixels frames at a rate higher than 20 frames/sec. After an approximate temporal synchronization of the video streams and the definition of an homogr...

BACKGROUND Pacing strategy plays a major role in sport performance. However, there is a dearth of knowledge concerning pacing during ultra-endurance sport events. The present case study investigated the pacing of an ultra-cyclist in a self-paced attempt to break the world record in 24-h road cycling and, with all the caveats and the limitations affecting a case report, could be useful in genera...

No previous research in squash has considered the time between shots or the proximity of the ball to a wall, which are two important variables that influence shot outcomes. The aim of this paper was to analyse shot types to determine the extent to which they are played in different court areas and a more detailed analysis to determine whether the time available had an influence on the shot sele...

This paper introduces how mobile IT can be used to enhance audience experience and constitute an alternative information and media resource during sport events. The place of an event is a place of large amounts of information and impressions. Today the audiences refer to journalists and speakers to get the information about the happening parallel to the actual viewing. We now see the surfacing ...

The use of input–output models to determine the economic impact of sport tourism events is limited in that resulting estimates cannot be distributed based on host county income segments or by occupational category. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate methods for estimating the income effects of sport tourism events. Four models were constructed using data from a large, southeastern Uni...

Applied sport psychology has offered many examples in the last decade of how athletes can be mentally trained to manage competitive stress and fear of failure in major sport events. The illustrations insist on both physical stress management techniques, geared at lowering levels of somatic anxiety, and psychological stress management tools, aiming at modifying the direction of cognitive anxiety...

Although traditionally seen as a sport for elite schools and colleges, rowing is a founding Olympic event and is increasingly enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities.
