Abstract

This paper revisits the issue of hiring discrimination in the National Hockey League (NHL), at the time of the draft. It updates studies that were last made for the 1993-1994 season with data from 2009 to 2010. The results show that there is still no entry discrimination against American hockey players. Entry discrimination against French Canadian hockey players seems to have disappeared. There is still apparent entry discrimination against non-Russian European hockey players, but less so than before. There is a strong and obvious KHL effect against Russian hockey players, which discourages NHL teams from drafting young Russian players as early as they should. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Resistance is conditioned to a large extent by the psychological factors that play a stimulating and recovering role of biological processes that "supervise" this quality. Among these we mention in the first place the motivation complex and interests one. Therefore development of this quality among female students that are not athletes, becomes a difficult problem, the teachers role is very important, his teaching skills and in particular by the selection means and the methods he uses. Knowing that the running time is not accepted by the students, this study tried to verify a hypothesis that by the implementation of certain methods used in athleticism to non-athlete students they can improve the performances from the semester control sample, running of 800 meters. The experiment was conducted on a group of 20 students, known methods and methodical procedures used for their efficacy in the scientific inquiry. Conclusions: The working hypothesis from which we started this experiment and the experiment results analysis gives us the right to say that this was confirmed, fact proved by the performance values obtained in the final testing that were higher than the original.
