The Chinese Baseball Association (CBA) established the China National Baseball League (CNBL) as the new top league to replace the Chinese Baseball League (CBL) in 2019. At the opening game in August, a strategic partnership agreement was signed between the Major League Baseball (MLB) and the CNBL. In this new league, four of the six teams who were affiliated with the former league of CBL participated, each team had a regular season of 18 games, and the playoffs between the top two teams were held in a best-of-five series. The former league CBL was established in 2002 by selecting top teams from existing local teams with the aim of strengthening the national team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The domestic league matches and the overseas expeditions by the national team selected from each team have boosted the competitiveness of top-level players, resulting in victories over Taiwan, one of Asia’s powerhouses, in the Beijing Olympics and next year’s World Baseball Classic. However, the CBL was forced to reduce its scale after the Beijing Olympics, as baseball was dropped from the Olympics. After several season cancellations, the CBL eventually folded after the 2018 season. A national team has not shown any outstanding performances on the international stage since the 2009 WBC. Under such circumstances, the launch of the new league, the CNBL, was suddenly announced in 2019. The CBA has announced that it is positioning this league as a professional league. In this paper, we review the history of baseball in China and its research history. Then we examine the influence of sports policy in China on the management of the former top league and illustrate the current condition of the newly launched league, the CNBL, in 2019. This will show the direction of the sustainability of the new professional baseball league in China.

The present study focused on the behavior of the ball at the time of the stroke in soft tennis, and it aimed at exploring the relations of many kinematic values at impact, and the flight behavior of the ball, while checking whether there might be an abnormal flight behavior. The flight of the ball was videotaped by three sets of video cameras, and the ball at impact was videotaped with two high speed cameras. The behaviors of these balls were analyzed. These experiments investigated the conditions of the flights of soft tennis balls, both when given a lift from an applied drive rotation and when given a sinking flight from a slice rotation. It was suggested that the difference in rate of spin given by a stroke influenced the abnormal flight behavior of a soft tennis ball, and also that when there was drive rotation or slice rotation of 40rps or more, the possibility of abnormal flight behavior occurring was high.

The Local Authority Act of Japan was revised in September 2003 in order to reduce the costs and improve the quality of public services. As a result of the Act, all local authorities had to introduce CCT for public sports facilities by September 2006. The aim of this research was to clarify the change in the number of full-time employees in public sports facilities before and after the introduction of CCT. The pre-CCT data were collected in March 2005 and the post-CCT data were collected in September 2007. In total, 333 respondents in both 2005 and 2007 were asked to complete the questionnaire. The mean number of full-time employees was significantly higher after the introduction of CCT than before it.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the Japanese professional baseball industry on the regional economy. In the 21st century, the shift from political centralization to decentralization seems to be promoted, and local governments are expected to bear a large responsibility for the regional economy. On the other hand, many kinds of sports are regarded as encouraging regional economic growth. This paper shows, by input-output analysis, that the Japanese professional baseball industry makes a significant contribution to the regional economy. In this paper, we investigate four issues in the Japanese professional baseball industry and estimate the effect of each on the economy; the strike, new establishment of team, interleague play between the Pacific and the Central leagues, the economic impact of the victory of Hanshin Tigers. First, the economic loss of the strike is estimated at 3.3 billion yen for two days, and 10.3 billion yen for one month. Second, the economic gain of the new establishment of a team in Miyagi Prefecture is about 13.6 billion. Third, the earnings from the interleague play between the Pacific and the Central leagues is about 5.9 billion in total. According to our calculation, the Pacific league will earn 2.8 billion, and the Central league will lose 0.2 billion. Lastly, the economic impact of the victory of Hanshin Tigers team on the Kansai economy is estimated at 148.1 billion yen in 2003, and 64.3 billion yen in 2005. This economic impact of the Hanshin Tigers team on the regional economy is much bigger than that of other teams. Many local governments are eager to attract many kinds of enterprises to encourage economic growth. Nevertheless, we showed that attracting baseball teams and other kinds of sports clubs is also useful to encourage economic growth in the region.

The purpose of this study was to compare the time from first base to second base between bent-leg sliding run and run-through run. The subjects were 11 uninjured college baseball players. Running time from first base to second base and 10 m passing time were measured. There were no significant differences in either the time to pass 10 m or the time to reach second base for each running method. The results of this study suggest that neither method of base running from first to second base produced faster results and therefore both methods can be accepted.

This paper describes the dynamics of Japanese bows and arrows. In "kyudo" (Japanese archery), archers twist the grip at the moment of shooting, to avoid the "archers' paradox" which is a change of trajectory of the arrow caused by the structure of the bow and the arrow. To investigate the relation between the trajectory of an arrow and the twisting force on the grip, we proposed a dynamic model simplifying three rigid limbs and two elastic hinge. And we made an experimental apparatus that can give a force to twist the grip, and performed a shooting experiment. We measured with a strain gauge the twisting force on the grip, the tension of the string, bending moment at the center of arrow, and the compressive force of the neck. After that, we performed a computer simulation with the model we suggested and compared its result with the result of the experiment. As a result of comparison we proved that the tendency of computer simulation is consistent with the experiment. Then using this model, we investigated the relation between the twisting force and the trajectory of an arrow. As a result of simulation, twisting force is shown to be specially important during the term from taking a stance to the beginning of the shooting.

In recent years, regional migration has become an important policy theme in Japan from the perspectives of correcting the concentration of population in Tokyo and regional revitalization. Based on the previous studies, not only public policies and institutions but also the “social capital” of the destination region and migrants are considered important to promote migration and support migrants. On the other hand, fans and supporters of community-based professional sports clubs have high social capital, suggesting that they may play a new public role as social public goods. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the use of J. League clubs to promote immigration and support immigrants. Based on interviews with people who have immigrated to rural areas and people involved with J. League clubs, etc., it was considered that the following elements are important to promote and support migration: “community” and “human resources” to connect migrants to local informal networks, and “place” and “content” to expand such opportunities. In particular, the problem is how to procure communities and human resources with “bridging social capital”. On the other hand, it was suggested that supporters of J. League clubs and their communities have bridging social capital, which could be a potential management resource for the development of migration support mechanisms. Based on the above findings and analysis, the authors proposed a “J. League Clubs’ Authorized Welcome Café”, operated in collaboration with J. League Clubs, supporters, and local governments to promote regional migration and support migrants at the “Sports Policy for Japan 2020”, a conference on sports policy conducted by university students held in November 2020. The café will be a “place where anyone can stop by casually”, including not only soccer fans but also local residents and prospective immigrants. If the social capital of J Club supporters can function as a “bridge”, such cafes have the potential to reach a wide range of people. One of the important findings of this study is the potential of J-club fans/supporters to become a management resource for the community when viewed from the perspective of social capital. These findings may be applicable not only to the promotion of migration, but also to the solution of various local issues.

In recent years, social demands and academic interest in the environmental and social contribution activities of professional sports clubs have increased. This is due to the spread of the idea that building good relationships with various stakeholders is essential for clubs to enhance their corporate value. However, it is not easy for professional sports clubs to continuously implement sustainable environmental initiatives (ESI) due to the financial burden. It is unclear to what extent consumers are aware of the ESI implemented by professional sports clubs and how much they are willing to spend afterwards, and there are no studies on ESI by professional sports clubs in Japan. Furthermore, it is significant and extremely important to clarify the results of ESI conducted by professional sports clubs on their teams from a marketing perspective. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between consumer attitudes and behavioral intentions toward professional sports clubs that conduct ESI. To achieve the objective, stakeholder theory and social identity theory are applied as a theoretical background to examine the impact of perceived ESI on intention to support a club and intention to attend a game. Data were obtained from a sample that included potential as well as existing consumers, and it was found that the perception of ESI influenced the intention to support a club and the intention to attend a game. The results of the multiple-group structural equation modeling revealed that the perception of ESI influenced the intention to support a club and the intention to attend a game, even among consumers who had no experience of attending a game. In the future, it will be necessary to elucidate the mechanism and causal relationship by which the perception of ESI enhances intentional loyalty, through what kind of psychological process.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between cognitive skill and concentration, based on brain waves measured before and after eSports activity. Participants were twenty male collegiate students belonging to an eSports club (Mean Age ± 21.40, SD = 1.65). At first, participants were put on a simple electroencephalograph (EEG) and their psychological state at rest was measured for 2 minutes. After that, Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT) was conducted to measure their cognitive skill (execution function) before the eSports activity. In addition, after the eSports activity, SCWT was conducted again. In this study, the HAKARO series Stroop test (Digital Standard Co., Ltd.) was used to measure cognitive skill (execution function). To examine the degree of concentration during eSports activity, this study adopted a simple band-type EEG that only measures the Fp1 point as defined by the international 10-20 systems. In addition, for analyzing concentration, Sports KANSEI, which is a software for estimating the degree of concentration from the combination of raw EEG data, was used. As a result, this study indicated that cognitive skill (executive function) might be improved before and after eSports activity, and concentration might appear during eSports play. However, research on eSports is still in its accumulation stage in Japan, so further investigation might be necessary.

One of the authors has analyzed the relationship between playing and spectating sports behavior during school-hood by setting adult sports spectating behavior as an explained variable, and confirmed a certain relationship. The purpose of this study was to clarify what timing of school-age the groups which come into contact with sports tend to continue or resume spectating sports in adulthood, based on the theory of carry over effect. The data was secondarily obtained from the research conducted by the Japan Volleyball League organization through an online survey. The respondents were asked whether or not they had experienced spectating or playing sports at each school-age stage (elementary school, junior high school, high school and university). Spearman′s rank correlation coefficients between spectating or playing sports in each school-age and the behavior modification stage of spectating were calculated, and Fisher's z-transformation and Bonferroni correction were used to evaluate the significance of difference in correlation coefficients for each school-age. As in the previous research on playing sports, the results revealed that spectating in university indicated significantly higher correlation with the behavior modification stage of current spectating, compared with other school-ages. In some cases of excluding the group that had been spectating since school-age, the correlation coefficients between spectating in elementary school/junior high school and the behavior modification stage of current spectating showed significant differences in comparison with other ages. This suggested that past experience may be carried over and facilitate resumption of spectating in adulthood, even when interrupted. Our results suggest that sports organizations are required to have a medium- to long-term perspective that takes into account the re-socialization of spectators while consciously targeting the school-age in which significant tendency is confirmed.

This research compared university student-athletes and other university students to analyze differences in attitudes towards COVID-19. The objective was to examine the impact of student-athletes′ attitudes on their future athletic activities and perform verification that will contribute to the deliberation and creation of university support measures for student-athletes. Google Forms were used to administer an online questionnaire to university students nationwide. The responses to questions on the questionnaire were recorded on either 5 or 8 point scales, as well as open-ended questions without word limitations at the end of the questionnaire. The results were analyzed by separating results into two cohorts; student-athletes and other university students, and then categorizing responses to each question as positive or negative. Cross-tabulation was used and then Fischer′s exact test was performed. To analyze the open-ended questions, KH-Coder3 software, which excels at Japanese analysis and is used in a great deal of research, was used. The analysis found a significant difference for some questions. In particular, a greater percentage of student-athletes than other university students felt unease regarding infection at university facilities, the impact of infection on university life, and the impact on activities from April 2020 onwards. Some of the reasons for the higher percentage of responses indicating unease were the lack of transparency in student life, with universities not defining clear approaches.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the total economic value and value structure of professional sports teams through the CVM approach. The results of the survey showed that the average of willingness to pay (WTP) was 587 yen, and the population of WTP was about 3.28 billion yen. From the weighting of use value and non-use value, the value as private goods was estimated to be 217 yen for WTP and the value as public goods was estimated at 316 yen. The results of this study have academic significance in that the professional sports teams quantitatively showed the values of public goods as well as private goods, while leaving certain problems in the model. In the future, it will be necessary to develop value categories that match the field of sports science, and the development of a scale for social benefits provided by professional sports teams will also be an issue.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the current situation in which youth teams in Europe are producing football players in strong teams and to explore the success model of the youth teams. The youth teams of the European top four major league division teams were examined, and as a result of calculating the contribution points based on the UEFA club ranking, the first place was Real Madrid youth, the second place was Barcelona Youth. Among the top 10 teams in total points, there were teams that showed high points even if they were not such strong teams. Also, although Manchester City Youth has produced many players, it did not differ much from other teams in regard to total points. In addition, there were teams that promoted many players in their top teams, like Athletic Bilbao Youth. Based on the above surveys, it was considered that the teams that successfully trained players could be classified into the following three major categories. ① Multi-player High Level Type, including Real Madrid youth and Barcelona youth, producing many players and operating at a high level. ② Self-Team Contribution Type, including Athletic Bilbao Youth, promoting many players to their own top team. ③ Release to Other Teams Type, including Manchester City Youth, producing numerous players who join other teams

The Israel Baseball League (IBL) that started in the summer of 2007 is one example of the expanding of sports in recent years that has an increasing relation with capital. Most IBL players come from outside of Israel. Players from developed countries participate in the league by using the vacation for their self-actualization. On the contrary, players from developing nations come to obtain provisions of life. This means a "CenterPeripheral" relation is occurring, from the areas where professional baseball has been played to the baseball-barren "Deterritorialized" world of Israel. It is thought Jewish nationalism is a great factor supporting the professional league which suddenly started in Israel, where profits can't be expected from the baseball business. In fact, the IBL carries out the function of getting U.S. immigrants to imagine solidarity with the Jewish community in the native state. At present, professional baseball is in the process of developing a global aspect, supported by the MLB, and in North America a business model of "Independent Leagues" that supplements this flow has appeared. It can be said that the IBL is one of the "Independent Leagues" that is also expanding globally. Though sports have spread from "Central" to "Peripheral" nations as a cultural event before, the current expansion is being accomplished as one of the systems of production. We can see one aspect of how globalization has influenced of sports from this example of IBL.
