The successful implementation of the biathlon shooting is necessary condition for overall success in the race. In the biggest competitions, such as the World Cup, World Championship and Winter Olympic Games, even one failed hit on the shooting-range leads to the rejection of the sportsman from the fi ght for the victory in whole race. Th e main aim of our thesis is to compare successful shooting of the men´s team of the Czech Republic with the winners of above mentioned word competitions. We were discovering the improvement of the successful shooting of the Czech team compared to the control group of winners in the worldwide competitions during two Olympic cycles in the seasons 2002/2003 – 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 – 2009/2010. As the base we have used data from DATACENTER, available on offi cial web pages of the International biathlon organisation IBU. We have assessed 3 basic domaines: shooting success, speed of the shooting performance and running time. Th e running time was assessed for the completion of the study of the successful shooting. Continual backwardness of the Czech representatives has been found in all observed domaines. Findings presented should help coaches to fi nd reserves at work with the athletes especially in the shooting part of the biathlon.

RESUMO O movimento de passageiros nos aeroportos está em crescimento, como consequência principal tem-se: os congestionamentos na rede viária e a deteriorização da qualidade ambiental no seu entorno. Mundialmente, o acesso aeroportuário já é considerado um componente crítico. Os administradores dos principais aeroportos internacionais (Europa e Estados Unidos) trabalham para melhorias neste acesso que é feito basicamente por automóveis. A opção é a implantação do transporte de alta capacidade sustentável. No Brasil, apesar dos investimentos no setor estarem impulsionados pelos dois megaeventos que se aproximam, Copa do Mundo de 2014 e Olimpíadas de 2016, não se observa uma preocupação das autoridades competentes com a acessibilidade a este Pólo Gerador de Viagens. Este artigo aborda a complexidade deste tema e tem como objetivo elencar alguns elementos básicos  para tratar o problema de acessibilidade terrestre no setor aeroportuário, mostrando que a divisão modal com foco nos transportes de alta capacidade é uma alternativa possível na redução dos congestionamentos e dos impactos ambientais desta infraestrutura.   ABSTRACT The passengers movements are growing at the airports. The bottlenecks and the environmental depletion at neighborhood is the main consequence. The access at the airport is already a worldwide problem. Managers of the main international airports (Europe and United States) are working to improve the accessibility and reduce the use of car. The option is the sustainable transport of high capacity. In Brazil, investments in the sector are growing due the two mega-events – the World Cup and the Olympic Games; however, the accessibility is not yet an issue perceived by the authorities. This article approaches the complexity of this theme. The goal is to point some basic indicators to treat the problem of land accessibility in the airport area, and highlights the modal division with focus in the transport of high capacity. This is an alternative possible to reduce the congestion and the environmental impacts caused by this infrastructure.

This article explores how sports in France have responded to the challenges of globalization, and also to the opportunities of an increasingly multicultural society. Two case studies are offered in which a distinctive national model may be seen to have been exposed to powerful transnational forces between 1985 and 2015, a period which also corresponds to sport's digital age. The sports primarily targeted are football and athletics, the most visibly international of modern games, as highlighted by their quadrennial showcases: the World Cup and the Olympic Games. The resulting case studies are intended to suggest some of the ways in which the state, the media and the relevant federations have responded to the multiple challenges of the corporate-financed and electronically mediated ‘global sporting system’. Featured athletes include Zinedine Zidane, Lilian Thuram, Marie-José Pérec and Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad.

Sword fencing is a special sport in which swordsmen can inflict both injections and blows. We studied the indicators of mutual attacks of highly qualified male saber players at the competitions of the fencing season 2018/2019, the peculiarities of which were that this season followed the next changes in the rules of the competition and preceded the next Olympic Games. At the competitions of this period, the tactical schemes of conducting fights were tested, the sports struggle for the ratings of the International Fencing Federation (FIE) and obtaining licenses for the XXXII Olympiad was conducted. The video of individual matches of saber players, which took place at the stages of the World Cup (Algeria, Budapest, Warsaw), at the Grand Prix (Cairo, Moscow, Seoul) and at the 2019 World Cup (Budapest) was used in the work. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the indicators of mutual attacks of saber players in the playoff rounds and in the finals of competitions. It was established that the fights of highly qualified swordsmen were characterized by the average size of mutual attacks. However, as we approached the finals and intensified the tactical confrontation of rivals, the volume of mutual attacks increased. The final fights were characterized by a reduced volume of mutual attacks. Data on the correlation of the volume of mutual attacks with the ratings of fencers are given.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a importância do esporte para as relações internacionais, tendo por base a experiência recente de países que organizaram megaeventos esportivos, tais como os Jogos Olímpicos e a Copa Mundial de Futebol da FIFA, nomeadamente a China, o Reino Unido e o Brasil. Partimos de duas premissas gerais. A primeira é que as competições esportivas são eventos cada vez mais internacionalizados; a segunda é de que esses megaeventos esportivos têm importância cada vez maior para as relações internacionais. Conquistar o direito de organizar esses megaeventos esportivos, além de demonstração de prestígio internacional, é uma oportunidade única para os países e cidades projetarem uma imagem positiva para o mundo e atraírem investimentos e negócios.Palavras-chave: Esporte, Relações Internacionais, Diplomacia Pública.   Abstract: The objective of this paper is to analyze the importance of sport for international relations, based on the recent experience of countries that organized sports mega-events such as the Olympic Games and the Football World Cup FIFA, namely China, the United Kingdom and Brazil. We start with two general assumptions. The first is that sports competitions are increasingly internationalized; the second is that these sports mega events have become increasingly important for international relations. Win the right to organize these sports mega events, along with international prestige demonstration, is a unique opportunity for countries and cities projecting a positive image to the world and attract investment and business.Key-words: Sport, International Relations, Public Diplomacy.  DOI: 10.20424/2237-7743/bjir.v4n1p21-37

The tropical climate is unique in that the seasons are dominated by the movement of the tropical rain belt, resulting in dry and wet seasons rather than the four-season pattern of changes in temperature and day length seen in other parts of the world. More than 33% of the world population lives in the humid tropics, which are characterized by consistently high monthly temperatures and rainfall that exceeds evapotranspiration for most days of the year. Both the 2014 Football World Cup (in Brazil) and the 2016 Olympic Games (in Rio de Janeiro) will take place in this climate. This review focuses on the effects of the tropical environment on human exercise performance, with a special emphasis on prolonged aerobic exercise, such as swimming, cycling, and running. Some of the data were collected in Guadeloupe, the French West Indies Island where all the French teams will be training for the 2016 Olympic Games. We will first fully define the tropical climate and its effects on performance in these sports. Then we will discuss the types of adaptation that help to enhance performance in this climate, as well as the issues concerning the prescription of adequate training loads. We will conclude with some perspectives for future research.

The authors estimate the effect of hosting the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016 on Brazilian international travel receipts. Results show that the World Cup generated an increase of about 50% in receipts during the 2 months of the event, while the estimated effect of the Olympics was an increase of about 28% during 1 month. In the month after the events, there was a fall of almost the same amount, and no effect of the previous rise in receipts was detected 2 months after the events. Therefore, these effects were immediate and short-lived.
