Title A name given to the resource FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO INJURIES AMONG HANDBALL PLAYERS IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS: A CASE STUDY OF MASVINGO PROVINCE, ZIMBABWE. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CHIMONERO PRINCE Description An account of the resource Sport injury has become an inescapable occupational menace in physical and sporting circles due to the current high entry of people into sport for competition and entertainment reasons. This inclination has seen a shift of interest from therapeutic process towards more of injury protective mechanisms with regard to players’ physical uprightness. This study aimed at identifying the main risk factors that contributed to injury occurrence during training and competition in Masvingo Province tertiary handball between 2014 and 2015. It sought to determine and examine the relationships between external and athlete-triggered risk factors, injury outcomes and their impact on player performance. This study was an epidemiological prospective cohort design with 153 college players, 18-30 years drawn from ten male and female handball teams of Masvingo Province. It was conducted with the view to recommend plausible preventive safe playing environments from the existing high cumulative injury incidences players experienced. A total of 242 incidental injuries players sustained were from contact and non-contact situations. Contact injuries were greater in matches than training in both gender but with high figures being reported in females than men. Most injuries were located in lower limb than upper limb appendages. The most vulnerable sites were the knee, ankle/foot, shoulder, wrist, fingers, elbow and hip. The principal injury mechanisms that significantly contributed to injury sustenance were plant and cutting, shooting, blocking, turning, landing and dribbling. Findings were that injury occurrence is related to the interface between externally and athlete-related risk factors implying that injury occurrence is not confined to a single inciting factor, but to a host of variables. Handball training regimes need to focus on basic proprioceptive, sensomotoric, and neuromuscular aspects to address the frequently injured body limps. Exercise-based injury prevention programs, education on injury aetiology, identification of injury trends and situational risk factors, should be iii practically instituted and ingrained as correctional concerns by coaches and associations in handball.

Title A name given to the resource CHALLENGES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SPORT IN UNIVERSITIES IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource KAVES ZVAPANO Description An account of the resource This study was on the challenges encountered in the management of sport in universities in Zimbabwe and how these could be overcome. The purpose of the study was to create a conducive environment for the development of university students sport. The study was prompted by experiences of the researcher as a sports administrator, and also by reports that confirmed the various challenges encountered in the management of sport in universities in Zimbabwe. The challenges compromised the quality of performance of Zimbabwean university sports teams at regional and international tournaments. During the study a mixed methods approach, of both qualitative and quantitative paradigms, was employed, making it a pragmatic approach, although the quantitative paradigm was dominant. The population of the study was the Sports Directors of the eleven universities that were affiliated to the Zimbabwe Universities Sports Association (ZUSA). The Sports Directors were chosen by purposive sampling and responded to a questionnaire. Sports Team Captains, were also involved as respondents to a different questionnaire. Students’ team coaches were involved as focus group participants. The population also included players, supporters, officials and administrators at the venues of the ZUSA Games. These were for observation purposes. Opportunistic overt observations were done at three different venues of university games over a period of one calendar year. These included one preliminary game, one ball games final and one athletics final. The study found that management of sport in universities encountered challenges that were related to lack of funding for sport, which generally affected provision of resources; behaviour related challenges like cheating and indiscipline; poor administration and lack of professionalism by coaches, officials and players. Besides, attitude-related challenges among some university authorities, which led to trivialization of university sport indicated by absence of clear sports policies and committees that represented sport and, in some cases, lack of sports levy or specific funds. All these challenges negatively affected the quality of university sport, thereby compromising performance of Zimbabwean athletes at regional and international sports tournaments because the sport environment was not conducive to the development of students sport. The study concluded that the various challenges could be overcome by serious involvement and unity of purpose by all iii stakeholders who are the university authorities, sport management, sport officials, national sports associations, the corporate world, alumni, the players themselves and the government through various relevant departments. These should ensure that funding is availed for university sport development and that formulation of effective policies on sport and their implementation is done. Furthermore, the study established that there was need for sport management, officiating and coaching workshops to improve university sport. Change of attitudes through sports education would also go a long way in ensuring support and participation that is indispensable in university sport Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZOU Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 Sport management Zimbabwean Universities
