The influence of Covid-19 and the olimpic games on the market business of Japan
Статья научная
The Summer Olympics are the largest international sporting event in the world. Over 200 sports nations take part in them every 4 years and represent a real organizational challenge for the host country. The organization of the games requires large financial resources that the host country would have to allocate. The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased the price of the games, which is already a record. Economists and organizers predicted that the Games in Tokyo would have an impact of as much as 292 billion dollars on the overall economy of Japan. Economists in Japan have raised expectations that the Tokyo Olympics will sharply strengthen not only the country's tourism industry, but also the construction business, while encouraging consumption, which together would increase Japan's market business. With the appearance of the corona virus, the Olympics were postponed for one year, which eventually led to a ban on watching at the venue of the postponed event. These bans, on the one hand, increased the cost of maintenance three times, and on the other hand, reduced revenues several times, which had a great impact on the Japanese market. This paper investigates the impact of covid-19 and the Olympic Games on Japan's market operations using regression and correlation analysis. Based on the analysis, the negative impact of Covid-19 on the market operations of Japan and the positive impact of the Olympics, especially in the year of maintenance, were proven, regardless of the fact that additional funds were invested.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the "Halliwick" aquatic exercise program on changes of mental adaptation in water environment in young people with Down syndrome (DS). The sample of respondents consisted of 14 young people with DS, with average age of 21.8±8.0 years. The research design is single-group included baseline, post-control and final measurements. The control period between baseline and post-control measurements lasted 12 weeks, equivalent to the duration of the experimental aquatic exercise program. The program included aquatic exercise classes with a frequency of two classes a week for 60 min (24 classes in total), with preplanned training content through the world-renowned Halliwick method (in ten points) well adapted to people with disabilities. Mental adaptation in water environment was assessed using the WOTA2 test. The obtained results showed that the applied aquatic exercise program was effective in terms of statistically significant improvement of mental adaptation in water environment in young people with DS. The concept of this program can be recommended as a sport-recreational type of activity for people with DS for the purpose of improving health status, psychophysical abilities and physical activity.

The influence of a wrestler’s preparation on success and morphological comaposition
Статья научная
In wrestling, in addition to technical and tactical training, success largely depends on physical prepardness. The subject of this paper is morphological composition and success in specific wrestling tests. The aim of the paper is to examine the direct influence of the level of prepardness on success and the indirect influence on morphological composition in wrestlers. Success is defined by the total number of throws in both the shorter Specific Wrestling Fitness Test (SWFT) and the longer and more physically demanding Specific Wrestling Performance Test (SWPT). Morphological composition is defined by the percentage values of body fat (PBFM) and muscle mass (PSMM). The sample consists of 26 wrestlers, divided into two groups, in 4 different ways, from the aspect of prepardness. In this regard, preparedness was defined by the movement of lactate values from the 3rd to the 5th minute, in subjects whose lactates increased (La3-5min.↑) and decreased (La3-5min.↓), by the percentage of pulse rate recovery to the 1st (∆HR1min ≤9.99% and ≥5.99%) and 5th (∆HR5min ≤39.99% and ≥40%) minute, and the number of throws in the tests (≤25 and ≥26 on the SWFT; ≤34 and ≥35 on the SWPT). The applied t test determined the absence of a statistically significant difference between the defined groups of lactate value movements as a function of the number of throws on both the SWFT (p = 0.867) and the SWPT (p = 0.131). It was also found that there were no statistically significant differences in PBFM (p = 0.769) and PSMM (p = 0.601) on the SWFT, while the longer SWPT, with its demands, showed a significant difference in PBFM (p = 0.031) and PSMM (p = 0.018) in favor of the faster metabolic recovery. Further analysis of the difference revealed no statistically significant difference between the groups with different levels of pulse rate recovery both up to the 1st and 5th minute, regardless of the variables and the test (p = 0.067 – 0.918). The defined groups of success on the tests as a function of the level of preparedness are statistically significantly different by the nature of the data distribution regardless of the test (p = 0.000), while from the morphological aspect they also showed significant differences in the PBFM both on the SWFT (p = 0.001) and on the SWPT (p = 0.000), and in the PSMM but only on the more demanding test (SWPT, p = 0.044).

The influence of lower limbs morphology on the result in race walking
Статья научная
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of lower limbs morphology on the result in race walking. The sample of participants for this study was selected from the student population of Pirot's elementary school "Vuk Karadžić". The study included 15 male participants aged 13-14, who practiced race walking in the "Pirot" athletics club. The following variables were used to assess the morphological characteristics of the lower limbs: leg length, diameter of the knee joint, thigh circumference, calf circumference and thickness of the skinfold on the calf. On the other hand, the criterion variable was the 400 m race walking performance. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the influence of the morphology of the lower limbs on the result in race walking. The results of the study indicated that based on an observation of the modality as a whole, this study found no statistically significant influence of lower limbs morphology on the result in race walking. Nevertheless, by considering particular variables, it can be claimed that the diameter of the knee joint and the thickness of the skinfold on the calf have been shown to have a statistically significant influence on the result in 400 m race walking. Exploring the intricacies of lower limb structure in race walking can provide valuable insights for training and coaching. This understanding has the potential to improve coaching methods and enhance overall performance in this distinctive sport.

The intersection of science and policy in sports safety
Статья научная
The growing and deepening geopolitical differences suggest a growing threat to international security. People often ask us if there is still a cold war. With the involvement of regional and international forces, crises are becoming more widespread and conflicts are becoming more transnational. This is confirmed by the situation in Ukraine, as well as by the rising tensions and conjecture on a European military confrontation. Even in 2021, with fewer people traveling across EU borders due to the COVID-19 epidemic, migration remains one of the most contentious issues in European politics. In an attempt to slow the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, nations have limited international, transnational, and domestic travel. This has had an impact on migration and human mobility in the European region. Safety in sports is of paramount importance to ensure the well-being and longevity of athletes across various disciplines.

The role of the media in creating the image of a tourist destination
Статья научная
The issue of image, personal, organizational, brand, destination, is one of the most important issues that attracts the attention of the social, business and scientific public. This paper draws attention to the need for a comprehensive tre-atment of the image, the mechanisms of its formation, and especially to the diffi-culties of considering the image phenomenon in isolation, separated from its basis - identity. Numerous studies of the image of tourist destinations in the past decades, mostly of an empirical nature, remain on the surface of this phenomenon. Their results do not contribute to a deeper understanding of this phenomenon, primarily due to the absence of an appropriate conceptualization and theoretical framework. Regarding the image of the destination, the most important thing is, of course, its end result, but the analysis of the image phenomenon, the separation of one into its constituent factors, different, opposite and contradictory, reveals levers whose sha-ping and use can influence the end result - the image. The role of mass media in this process, especially in the digital era, is very significant, but not decisive.

Threats to objectivity in the social science research
Статья научная
Objectivity in scientific research have been a frequently discussed issue in the scientific community given that interpretivist scholars have resisted the crucial role of the positivist paradigm which dominates in social sciences as well. This paper seeks to critically consider the main criterion (or principle) of scientific knowledge – objectivity – from the standpoint of social science research. The conducted analysis shows that objectivity is not only the key tenet of quantitative research, but also is equally important in qualitative studies which are used in numerous disciplines. The main objective of this paper is, in order to avoid various threats to objective rese-arch, to conceptualize this leading sicentific principle that may enhance the metho-dological quality of science; for example, lack of bias, replicability, reproducibility, etc.

Uloga i položaj žena u sportskom novinarstvu
Статья научная
Sportsko novinarstvo poseban je oblik novinarstva koji prenosi informacije o sportskim temama i događajima. Česti su stereotipi kako muškarci mogu kvalitetnije izveštavati o sportskim događajima nego žene. Stoga je cilj ovog rada saznati i prikazati kakav je položaj i uloga žena u sportskom novinarstvu bio nekada, a kakav je danas, odnosno otkriti susreću li se sportske novinarke s diskriminacijom, šta javnost misli o ženama u sportskom novinarstvu i kakvu budućnost imaju žene u toj delatnosti. U tom smislu postavljene su hipoteze: ženama je teže uspeti u sportskom novinarstvu, kako se sportske novinarke susreću s raznim oblicima diskriminacije i kako je uopšte manji interes žena za sportsko novinarstvo. U istraživanju je korišćena opšta i posebna metodologija, ali i istorijski metod, pomoću kojeg je otkrivena istorijska uloga žena u novinarstvu uopšte, kao i u sportskom novinarstvu. Sadržajno su prvo obrađene posebne karakteristike sportskog novinarstva i sportskih novinara, a zatim je obavljeno istraživanje. Korišćena je recentna literatura i sprovedene su ankete s raznim ciljanim grupama. Rezultati istraživanja su utvrdili opravdanost ciljeva o položaju žena u sportskom novinarstvu, a time i potvrdili postavljene hipoteze. Na temelju prikupljenih podataka napravljena je analiza rezultata pa su nakon rasprave doneseni zaključci. Nastavak istraživanja ove teme treba usmeriti na sofisticiranije metode, te na obrazovni proces kako bi žene bile više i kvalitetnije zastupljene u sportskom novinarstvu.

What has Nike done with the baton of stereotypes in the media
Статья научная
The paper analyzes ways in which women are portrayed in the sports advertisement "Nike: What will they say about you?" and how that relates to stereotypes and representation of women in a broader sociological context. This is achieved by considering social trends through the prism of commodification and contemporary consumerism. For this purpose, the qualitative method of narrative analysis was used. Thus, the paper explores advertising segments in detail through linguistic, visual, and symbolic categories, which are then interpreted within the social discourse and gender and religious stereotypes. Women portrayed in said commercial are shown in different sports, situations, and conditions that require a lot of sacrifice, while the female appearance, in this case, is not the subject of attention. This discourse is therefore, in the context in which it is analyzed, an example of a refreshingly positive media advertising practice.
