The purpose of this article was to introduce the case of the Aspen Institute Project Play and to consider a few current topics in Japanese youth sports. In 2013 this project was launched by the Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program in the U.S. Subsequently, it has produced multiple reports regarding issues surrounding youth sports in the U.S and has held annual summits to address these issues (2016, 2017). Additionally, it has succeeded in obtaining various stakeholders’ support (e.g. MLB, NBA, NBC Sports Network and NIKE) through implementation of its nationwide projects. The primary issues around childhood play/movement that Project Play has highlighted are the impact of childhood obesity and inactive lifestyles. To address these concerns, they developed eight strategies, including the “Sport for All, Play for Life Model”. This model aims to encourage all young people in the U.S to participate in competitive and/or recreational sports throughout their lives. In summary, the strengths of this project can be described as improving the cycle “research → strategy → evaluation” based on the above-referenced model. Furthermore, the vast network of stakeholders has enhanced the impact of its resources. Therefore, in the Japanese youth sports setting, it might be useful to consider the development of a similar model which encompasses both competitive and lifelong sports. Two key steps, as demonstrated by Project Play, are development of an effective network and utilizing the existing data related to youth sports in Japan.

The present study aimed to provide an overview and compare Master′s degree programs to clarify the characteristic features of the curriculum course contents and lecture formats among four Master′s programs in sport management education: the TIAS in Japan and the AISTS, FIFA Master, and FIMBA programs in Europe, by utilization of semi-structured interviews and analysis of the data from the interviewees.<BR>    The paper clarifies that there are two types of Master′s programs designed to foster practical sport managers: 1) programs supported by the IOC and FIFA, and 2) newly developed programs of existing university graduate schools. Both types of programs differ in their lecture formats. In the type 1 programs, experts working in the IOC and IFs are invited as guest speakers to give lectures that are mostly organized around a discussion format and basically involve the use of PowerPoint slides. On the other hand, in the type 2 programs, the classroom format is generally followed, in which individual classes by instructors are taken weekly and over an extended period of time, following the set pattern of the university graduate schools. However, the curriculum is also flexible, where guest speakers are invited, using the same Powerpoint format through discussion as in the type 1 program. Furthermore, the study revealed that the subjects of each graduate school can be divided into common subjects and specific subjects. The point of difference among the said subjects was found to lie in their focus on the graduate′s destinations, keeping in mind the concept of the backgrounds and human resources installed in each graduate school and program.<BR>    In conclusion, our study reveals new findings in context of the professional graduate schools in Japan and Europe.

This study cites “casual racism” as it is suggested in the slogan “Racism. It Stops With Me” and aims to identify the characteristics of racism on Japanese websites that deal with international sporting events. With respect to the 2014 FIFA World Cup, about 670,000 web comments related to “Yahoo! JAPAN” news on the World Cup were collected. Of the comments, 16,236 were sampled, and the 289 comments that included “race-related words” were selected, classified, and evaluated into three types, depending on whether the content was discriminatory. In the analysis, the proportion of discriminatory comments was compared to all comments, and this was compared with year-round sports comments in Japan.    The results of the analysis showed that approximately 40.1 percent of the 289 comments were discriminatory about people of a different race. There were a particularly large number of comments about Koreans. Discriminatory comments about Chinese and Croatians also appeared although Croatians are rarely discussed in Japan.    The examination of the comments revealed the following characteristics: 1) Among the comments that were analyzed, the proportion of racially discriminatory comments that were only mentioned at the World Cup was low, at 12.9 percent. This suggests that international competitions are not a direct cause of racism on the web. 2) Discriminatory comments against Croatians arose from the criticisms by the Croatian national team against the Japanese referee of a match played by their country. Therefore, these comments were transient, although this type of casual racism is likely to occur repeatedly in international competitions targeting different racial groups. 3) Racism toward Chinese and Koreans is one of Japan’ s social problems. However, while this racism is considered to be serious, a part of the discriminatory web comments displayed the kind of casualness that is characteristic of casual racism.

This study examines the potential importance of what we call "local community strategy" in the realm of management for professional sports clubs. In particular, we focus on J League (soccer) clubs since the year 2000. Activities corresponding to the "local community strategy " are supposed to consist of the following five components.(1) Providing services to a local community through sports(2) Participating in festivals and other similar events of a local community and visits to local shopping malls and other places(3) Creating a system for receiving community volunteers(4) Creating a system for obtaining goods and services form community businesses(5) Establishing rules for obtaining funds from the community This study analyzes data acquired from a questionnaire survey sent to all J League clubs belonging to division 1 (J1) and division 2 (J2), and from interviews with several key clubs. We show that the local community strategy is becoming, explicitly and/or potentially, one of the more important elements of J League club management. For the analysis, we classify J League clubs into three groups, roughly speaking, in accordance with the size of the annual sales of the club. We first show, based on our survey and interviews, the level of activities of each club targeted to a local community. We find that each of the three groups has good reasons for taking local community strategy seriously, and that the reasons, ranging from urgent needs for survival to a risk hedge to deal with uncertainty, differ depending on the group.

The aim of this research was to clarify the change in service quality of a stadium before and after the introduction of CCT using one facility in Japan as a case study, and to compare some performance data before and after the introduction of CCT. The data before CCT were collected in May 2006 and the post- CCT data were collected in November 2008. Random sampling of respondents was used in those years. In total, 758 respondents in 2006 and 292 respondents in 2008 were asked to complete the questionnaire after the football game. Some of the mean scores of “Cleanliness and comfort” , “Food and drink” , “Litter box” , “Toilet” and “Staff” were significantly higher than those of before CCT. However, the service quality of “Easy to watch” did not change between those years significantly.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the distance decay parameters of J-League season ticket purchase rate, and to clarify the relationship between the distance decay parameters and population densities/competition of catchment areas. The total number of the sample was 53,727 which came from the season ticket holders of 20 J-League clubs in 2007. The distance and the population were calculated by using Geographic Information System. The findings of the analyses are summarized as follows;    A gradually weakening relationship between J-League season ticket purchase rate and distance from stadium was observed. Also it was shown that the distance factor has an effect on the J-League season ticket purchase rate. The distance decay rate of densely populated area is low (distance decay slope is gentle) , while the distance decay rate of thinly populated area is high (distance decay slope is steep) . The catchment areas of J-league season ticket compete with other clubs′ catchment areas in the densely populated regions. That is to say the spatial demand, which is the distance decay rate of J-League season tickets, is affected by the difference of city size and the existence of other competing clubs.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the way in which the stadium securitization was introduced to finance professional football clubs in England during the period of 1989 to 2002, and also to analyse the general structure and current practices of such deals. First phase of this development was the modernization of stadiums, prompted by the Taylor Report. The second phase was characterised by the transformation of clubs into joint-stock companies for more stable financing, which also coincided with the stadium refurbishment and the consequent spread of stadium hospitality business. The third phase was where the clubs discovered securitization of stadiums as a method of attaining long-term financing. It was discovered that the place of stadium in the club's financial operation was thereby changed. It was also found that securitization is a large and long-term source of finance, which also happens to be more flexible than loans from banks, and therefore easier to use. However, it also became clear that this method of financing requires each club to maximize their stadium revenues. These English cases also suggest that depending on where the money is reinvested, such financial practices can potentially put club finances in danger.

This study compares awareness about doping between Japan, which has less doping cases, and Italy, where doping is widespread, second only to that of Russia. The research sample was comprised of university physical education students. The item “opinion about doping” was divided into a doping item and a sports standards item, and the reliability of the scale was demonstrated by confirming the hypothesis model through structural equation modeling.  Result 1: The Japanese group had a significantly lower value than the Italian group with regard to awareness of special doping (awareness to justify doping for the success of famous athletes and teams).   Result 2: Italian students showed significantly stronger negative influences on “the spirit of fair play” and “doping awareness” than Japanese students. A stronger “spirit of fair play” significantly negatively influenced “doping awareness”. Furthermore, the Japanese students showed significantly stronger positive influences on “special doping” and “doping awareness” than Italian students.    Conclusion: We can conclude the following: (1) Italian university students do not generally approve of doping but tend to approve of doping for the success of famous athletes and teams, whereas Japanese students do not; (2) in Italy, there is a tendency to not approve of general doping, reflecting a higher spirit of fair play; however, in Japan, there is only a weak relation between the spirit of fair play and doping awareness; and (3) the relation between special doping awareness on doping awareness is stronger in Japan than that in Italy.

Playing sports occupies an important place in the life of elementary school children. Community sport clubs can provide children with adequate opportunities to exercise. However, researchers have indicated certain problems faced by such clubs, due to their status of being volunteer associations.    The present study investigated problems faced by community based junior sports clubs in Japan, from the perspective of coaches participating in these clubs as volunteers. An online survey was conducted with sports coaches who had experience in coaching team sports in community based junior sport clubs in Japan (N = 456). A questionnaire asked coaches about the type of sports they led (football, baseball, basketball, or volleyball), their confidence as a coach, and their shortcomings in different domains, including the lack of coaching skills, lack of event skills and lack of knowledge about child development, etc., as well as general shortcomings of coaches in these domains. Results indicated that many coaches felt they lacked coaching skills, athletic skills, and knowledge about child development. A multiple regression analysis indicated that training in coaching skills and event skills could enhance their confidence as coaches, and this was found to increase their improvement motivation. It is also suggested that there is a need to develop methods to develop skills of coaches, because many coaches are busy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the structural concept of the organizational climate in college sports clubs and to develop a measurement scale that ensures reliability and validity. We conducted two studies as follows: 【Study1】: Based on previous studies, we created a scale to measure the organizational climate of college sports clubs, and conducted an exploratory examination of the factor composition of organizational climate through surveys and analyses of university students who had experience of belonging to college sports clubs. (Survey 1). Then, based on the results of the analysis, we conducted another survey and analysis targeting students who had experience of belonging to college sports clubs, and examined the validity and reliability of the structural concept of the organizational climate of the college sports clubs (Survey 2). 【Study2】: After partially modifying the measurement scale based on the results of Study 1, the validity and reliability of the scale were examined again. In addition, in order to verify the predictive validity of the scale, we analyzed the relationship between the organizational climate of the college sports clubs and the organizational commitment of the members to the clubs to which they belong. Analytical data were collected from students who had experience of belonging to a college sports club, as in Study 1 (Survey 3). The main findings are summarized as follows: We clarified 6 factors: “Warm atmosphere”, “Social contribution awareness”, “Deviation from ethics and morals”, “Control by rules”, “Fairness of penalties”, and “Acceptance of change”, as comprising the organizational climate of college sports clubs. And, as a result of the statistical analysis, the scale was confirmed to have sufficient reliability and validity.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the aim and problems of a “club activity activation project” involving professional coaches from corporations who have been employed for extracurricular sports activities (ESA) at public junior high schools in Suginami City, Tokyo. The study conducted expert interviews in 2019 with three people, including an official of the city administration, as well as a staff member and an instructor at a private sports company in Tokyo. As results of this research, the study clarified the following points : Suginami City instituted this project in 2013 using its budget. Suginami City uses professional coaches for ESA that were earlier supervised by teachers with no experience in playing sports, as their expertise was in subjects other than physical education. The purpose of the “club activity activation project” is to allow students to enjoy the experience of club activities, and also to reduce the burden on teachers. However, the project is facing difficulties in finding coaches for individual sports such as soft tennis. The project to revitalize ESA was initiated so that private sector instructors could rectify the unequal situation in which club activities were not feasible.

Why do athletes choose to become second-career teachers? This qualitative research explores the factors influencing elite athletes’ choice of becoming a teacher after retirement. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ex-professional athlete teachers (7 baseball players and 7 football players) to discuss the reasons for career choice and factors influencing their decision. The data, which were recorded, transcribed and analyzed through the application of principles from Grounded Theory, resulted in 20 concepts in 9 categories. Examples of categories include achievement of a stable livelihood, desire to remain involved in their sports, and influence of significant others. Ex-professional baseball players samples “needed” to become teachers in post-retirement to lead high school club activities due to the former student baseball eligibility restoration system. Meanwhile, former J. League players tended to become teachers to secure a stable future for themselves.

In recent years professional baseball leagues have been started in some areas in which baseball has been considered to be unpopular.    Alan Klein, an authority on the study of the globalization of baseball, claims that baseball diffusion will be promoted in developing areas where it promotes escape from poverty, and that it is hard to envision baseball’ s diffusion and the development of professional baseball business in developed countries, especially in Europe, which is proud of the overwhelming popularity of football.    However, in practice, new professional baseball leagues have been started in some economically rich countries in the 2000s. This paper analyzes the Italian Baseball League (IBL) , which started its inaugural season in 2010, in order to investigate the background of the rise of new professional leagues in developed countries and the prospects for their future.    This paper claims the factors promoting the diffusion of baseball in Europe and the foundation of the professional league in Italy are; 1) Expansion of a network of scouting and marketing by the MLB, 2) Job shortages for younger people, accompanied by the rationalization of the selection of professional athletes as an unstable job with low wages. Considering these factors, we can envision the development of small-scale professional baseball business in areas where baseball has not traditionally been popular. Along with the expansion of the international flow of players in the baseball world, such as through the MLB in which players can expect high remuneration, the development of a semi-professional system in which players can get jobs during the baseball season is also suggested.

The brain injury during a sports activity are caused by the percussion which involves collision to the head. To construct a protective environment for such collisions are one of the most important factors for the biomechanical problems. In this investigation, we will experiment the collision of a human head of the testee by using Judo Tatami mats within the safety limits. We propose the mathematical model which can computer simulate the experiment model which will make the reappearance of the head collision phenomenon, and also the head collision phenomenon itself by using the measurements of the impact force and the acceleration from the experiment.
