The has-beens and never will-bes

Abstract

The Australian team that toured India in 1935/36 comprised atypical cricket personnel. Their cultural and social unorthodoxy contributed to the tour being shunned by cricket officialdom in Australia. Tour manager, Frank Tarrant’s method of team selection was meritocratic unlike that of customary cricket practice where social and cultural hierarchy informed team composition. This article outlines the unorthodox team composition and argues that the official cricket body objected to the exercise because of the professional nature of the tour, social (particularly class) discrimination and preconceptions of racial prejudices. The Maharaja of Patiala’s generous financing of the tour identified it as a definitively professional exercise and encouraged participation considering the precarious status of the global economy following the Great Depression. The goodwill between Australia and India evidenced on tour challenged cricket protocol and reflects a pragmatic and growing recognition that diplomatic and economic unity was desirable in light of the imminent dissolution of the British Empire.

Development of 1-mile walk tests to estimate aerobic fitness in children

To examine the reliability and validity of 1-mile walk tests for estimation of aerobic fitness (VO_2max) in 10- to 13-year-old children and to cross-validate previously published equations. Participants (n = 61) walked 1-mile on two different days. Self-reported physical activity, demographic variables, and aerobic fitness were used in multiple regression analyses. Eight models were developed with various combinations of predictors. The recommended model for fitness testing in schools was: VO_2max = 120.702 + (4.114 × Sex [F = 0, M = 1]) – (2.918 × 1-mile Walk Time [min]) – (2.841 × Age), R = .73, standard error of estimate = 6.36 mL·kg^?1·min^?1. Cross-validation of previously published equations demonstrated lower correlations with measured VO_2max than the newly developed walk tests. Evidence of reliability and validity for 1-mile walk tests to estimate VO_2max in young children was provided. The model that included 1-mile walk time, age, and sex may be appropriate for youth fitness testing in physical education, particularly for unmotivated or overweight young children.     

留守与非留守初中生课外体育活动与心理健康关系的对比分析

以自编"课外体育活动问卷"和王极盛教授编制的"中学生心理健康量表"为测量工具,对农村乡镇中学留守及非留守初中生各1 200名,就课外体育活动现状及心理健康状况分别进行了调查和测量及对比分析,以探讨课外体育活动与农村乡镇初中学生心理健康的关系.结果表明:初中生整体参加课外体育活动不足,留守生更甚;留守生心理健康不良倾向检出率为44.5%,明显高于非留守生的36%:留守生在性别之间及不同年级之间的心理健康水平也存在显著性差异,男生心理健康水平好于女生,初一、二年级学生心理健康状况好于初三年级学生;留守生的课外体育活动状况与心理健康各维度存在明显的相关性.
