In sports, athletes are divided by sex for most events. Since 1966, various methods have been used in testing to confirm sex. In some instances where competitors have been disqualified from women’s events, however, that testing has violated personal privacy and its results have yielded information unknown even to the competitors. Currently, the criteria for women are set based on levels of testosterone produced in the body, but the obvious reality is that there are no absolute standards that allow for clear distinctions between men and women. Various sexual identities are currently recognized, and systems are being developed to protect the rights of sexual minorities. Division of the sexes is considered a given in sports, but new systems of categories will probably need to be designed for sports as well. This paper presents a tentative proposal regarding competition formats as a basis for future discussions. Systems such as open categories that are open to both sexes and categories that are not segregated by sex could enable sports participants to approach their bodies and their sexual identities in a positive manner.

The purposes of this paper were to examine the relationship between music and sports and to consider the effects of music through an analysis of the music used in sporting competitions. This paper has focused specifically on music used in figure skating. Pieces of music that were used by gold medalists since 2000 were identified and each piece’s main features were examined. How well the skater’s movement matched the music was also examined. The music that is often used in competition changes key and tempo. The music combines sections in a different key and with a different tempo. In addition, many pieces that are used in figure skating are ethnic/folk music and have a narrative. The characteristics of the music inspired skaters to choreograph their performance, and they chose music that best fit their personality and technical strengths. All of the skaters sought to portray the atmosphere and delicate movements that the music conveyed during their routines. The music greatly affected the skaters’ performance. In light of these findings, music is closely related to sports.

The aims of this paper were to examine the structures of the human body and how they perform during singing and to explain the state of the body and posture. This paper also describes optional postures and how to achieve those postures.In order to produce a singing voice with a rich sound, a singer must:A. Enlarge resonance cavities to their maximum size and B. Breathe from the abdomen and keep breathing steadily. Optional posture A: 1. Lower the base of the tongue, 2. Raise the soft palate and connect the cavities in the mouth and nose.Optional posture B: Pull the diaphragm down sufficiently and try not to immediately return it to its original position when exhaling.

While there are numerous types of folk dance in Europe, the folk dances of Eastern Europe, and Bulgaria in particular, contain remarkably complex rhythms and steps. Neshka Robeva, the former head coach of the Bulgarian National Rhythmic Gymnastics Team, achieved a total of 294 medals in the major international competitions, including Olympics and World Championships, during her tenure from 1974 to 1999. Robeva incorporated Bulgarian folk dance elements into many of her Rhythmic Gymnastics routines. These routines have long held a place in the hearts of many people. As the first manuscript in a sequence on the choreography of Rhythmic Gymnastics and European traditional dance, this paper aims to clarify the relationship between "Nestinarstvo" ("Fire-walking"),a Bulgarian ritualistic dance that was listed as UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009, and "NESTINARITE", a Rhythmic Gymnastics routine created by Robeva in 2000. The analysis of these pieces was conducted using video materials, interview data, and recorded materials. Since 2001, the rules of Rhythmic Gymnastics have tended to enumerate difficulty (Body Difficulty as well as Apparatus Difficulty).It is important to preserve a record of the "creator's worldview" of the Bulgarian Rhythmic Gymnastics of the 1980s, which was elevated to the level of art and philosophy, transcending the boundaries of sport.

This study examined the effectiveness and forms of activities in which music and sports can intermingle and merge. Various forms of activities were compared, and their characteristics and ways in which music and sports were linked were examined. Findings were as follows: new approaches such as combined events or the concept of "play" are needed as a way to link music and sports. Appropriate facilities need to be provided and leaders who will implement and promote these new approaches need to be trained.

OBJECTIVE :Adrenaline is the only vasopressor that can be given in the event of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) according to the Japanese EMS protocol. However, there is little clinical evidence that adrenaline benefits long-term survival after OHCA. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of early adrenaline administration by EMTs on favorable neurological outcomes among patients who experienced OHCA.METHODS :Potential subjects were a total of 822,250 patients who experienced OHCA between 2006 and 2012 and who were registered in a nationwide Japanese database. Subjects were 40,970 patients who received adrenaline prior to hospital arrival. The effects of the time from contact to the first administration of adrenaline (timing of the first administration of adrenaline, or TAA) on favorable neurological outcomes (a CPC score of 1-2) were evaluated as follows. Patients were divided into three groups based on the TAA (early group (n=18,890:TAA < 7.6 min, intermediate group (n=17,669) : TAA of 7.6 to 15.5 min, and late group (n=4,411):TAA > 15.5 min). Statistical analysis was performed using the crude odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).RESULTS :Patients in the early group served as a reference. In comparison to the early group, the intermediate group had an OR for a favorable neurological outcome of 0.48 and a CI of 0.40-0.58, and the late group had an OR of 0.24 and a Cl of 0.19-0.29. The early group had significantly improved outcomes (CPC score of 1-2) compared to the late group.CONCLUSION :Adrenaline administered by EMTs significantly improved neurological outcomes in patients during the early stages of OHCA. An exhaustive review of the adrenaline administration protocol for EMTs is needed to increase the likelihood of favorable neurological outcomes in who experiencing OHCA.
