Home advantage is a phenomenon in sports where teams tend to perform better when playing at home. In this work, we explore home advantage in professional basketball and football leagues. Our results suggest that in basketball all leagues (NBA, Euroleague, Eurocup, ABA, and Slovenian league) seem to exhibit a significant degree of home advantage, it seems to be the highest in the ABA league and the lowest in the NBA. In football, four of the leagues (Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1) showed moderate presence of home advantage, whereas La Liga showed significantly higher levels. When analysing seasonal trends, we usually observed lower home advantage in the seasons affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We proposed a novel metric to measure home advantage at the individual game level, this metric allowed us to investigate connections between potential factors (crowd impact, referee bias, and travel fatigue) and home advantage. The crowd attendance seems to have a positive correlation with home advantage, while counter-intuitively the opposite seems to often hold for the referee bias. A side product of our work is also an extensive and carefully curated dataset, which we made publicly available for the whole research community [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research was to determine the effects of an aerobics program (high-low) on the development of motor skills of young soccer players using a three-month experimental treatment. The research was conducted on a sample of 15 respondents (n=15) football players F.K. "Bjelopoljac" Bijelo Polje Mostar, average height AVIS=174.193 ±9.33 cm and average weight AMAS= 66.233 ±8.41 kg. The research hypothesis is affirmatively stated that there are statistically significant quantitative differences between the initial and final testing after the application of the aerobic program. T-test for dependent samples was used to determine differences in arithmetic means. The results of the T-test show that there were no statistically significant differences in the two tests for assessing the frequency of forward-bending-twist-touch body movements (MBFPZD, p=0.106) and the frequency of lower extremities tapping the foot against the wall (MBFTAZ, p=0.07) at the level statistical significance of p≤0.05. In other variables, there were statistically significant changes at the level of statistical significance of p≤0.05. The results confirm that the experimental program programmed in this way contributes to the statistically significant development of motor skills in football players aged 12-15 years.

With the aim of determining the trend of development of speed and agility in soccer players, the results of the research conducted on a sample of 68 soccer players aged 12 to 16 were analyzed. The research is transferal in nature, i.e. the results were obtained by measuring the investigated variables at one time point for soccer players aged 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 years. Two variables from the space of morphological characteristics were measured on the tested sample, three variables for speed assessment and one variable for agility assessment. Based on the results of the central and dispersion parameters and the comparison of the arithmetic means of the variables for evaluating speed and agility in football players of different ages, we can see that the results of the 5 m sprint variable indicate that the lowest average value was in football players aged 13 (1 .27 m/s), while the positive growth trend is 5-meter sprint from 12, 14 to 16 years (1.22>1.24>1.13>1.10 m/s). The 10 m sprint variable has the same values at 12 and 14 years old (2.04 m/s), and the growth trend continues at 15 and 16 years old (1.90>1.86 m/s), and the smallest sprint value at 5 m was with a 13-year-old football player. By analyzing the variable that explains the 20-meter sprint, we can see that the results show a negative trend of sprint development. Soccer players aged 14 had the best average score, followed by soccer players aged 12, then 13, and players 15 and 16 had the lowest values. The variable for the assessment of agility (zig zag without ball) has the lowest average value in thirteen-year-olds (6.39 m/s), while there is a positive growth trend from 12, 14 to 16 years (6.21>6.14>6.10> 5.98 m/s).

The subject of research and the purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of globalization on identity change within one of the most popular sports today, football. In order to avoid generalizations in the analysis, the English Premiership, one of the most famous football leagues, was chosen as a case study. The theoretical framework of the research is related to the identification of local changes under the influence of the global process, predominantly social and political. The time of the research covers the period from the creation of the Premiership, i.e. from 1992 until today. The research on selected globalization influences on the League's development will try to clarify social changes resulting from the interaction of two main geographical segments - space and people. With the help of selected economic and financial indicators, the change of the local identity of the League, which was present in the past, into an increasingly pronounced global identity will be presented. In conclusion, it was found that the mentioned football league is an excellent example of the growing impact of the globalization process on sports, especially when it comes to world-famous football.

Pogrješno je razmišljanje da je nogomet samo tjelesno kretanje, grubo natjeravanje suparnika, jer je on često više od igre. Nogomet je suvremeni socijalni fenomen i stanje u nogometu često je pokazatelj stanja u društvu i politici. Na hrvatskim i općenito južnoslavenskim prostorima nogomet je od samoga početka bio najpopularniji sport i privlačio je najveći broj gledatelja te izazivao veliko zanimanje javnosti. Nogomet nikada nije samo nogomet, uvijek je politiziran i kroz njega se zrcale odnosi u društvu uopće te je na neki način rendgen svega onoga što se u društvu događa. U članku je prikazano kako je nogomet u Kraljevini SHS-u/Jugoslaviji i u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji bio sredstvo za izražavanje hrvatskoga etničkoga i nacionalnoga identiteta uslijed političkih sporova i podjela.

Ovaj rad obrađuje igru i nogomet kao filozofski problem. Svrha je čitanje nogometne igre ontološkim ključem. U prvome dijelu govori se o igri kao fenomenu ljudskoga postojanja koji je sastavni dio ontološke strukture čovjeka, jedna od temeljnih odrednica koje ga definiraju, forma u kojoj život živi samoga sebe. Filozofija se od svojih samih početaka bavila igrom kao specifičnom ljudskom djelatnošću neodvojivom od ljudskoga bivstvovanja. Tu svakako spadaju igre loptom te stoga u drugome dijelu i donosimo kratak povijesni presjek i razvoj igre s posebnim naglaskom na nogomet. Premda se nogomet promatra kao globalni fenom koji je sam po sebi razumljiv, sagledan u svojoj dubljoj analizi otvara mnoga pitanja koja su plod različitih pristupa i gledanja na jedan jedinstveni događaj; stoga je treći dio ovoga rada posvećen ontološkoj strukturi nogometa, njezinim ključnim svojstvima, zanimljivosti, neizvjesnosti i pristupačnosti svima, koje ga guraju na vrh popularnosti svih sportova i čine najvažnijom sporednom stvari na svijetu. U ovom dijelu ontologija nam služi pri opisivanju i razumijevanju same nogometne igre, koja je postala metaforom našega života.

Rad prikazuje anketne rezultate (samo)procjene vrijednosti hrvatskih nogometnih trenera (N=139). U radu je za istraživanje korišten Schwartzov upitnik Portrait Values Questionnaire (2001, PVQ). Istraživanje je provedeno 2017. godine u suradnji s Hrvatskom nogometnom akademijom, a rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su za hrvatske trenere visoko rangirane vrijednosti dobrohotnost (M=4,89), univerzalizam (4,75), nezavisnost (4,76) i sigurnost (M=4,24). Vrijednosti koje odražavaju orijentaciju pojedinca prema samom sebi – poput moći (M=3,13), dostignuća (M=3,98), hedonizma (M=3,99) – treneri ocjenjuju prosječno nižim ocjenama. Analiza rezultata istodobno pokazuje da postoje razlike u odabiru vrijednosti između podskupina trenera (UEFA A, UEFA B i UEFA PRO). Iako je svim podskupinama dobrohotnost na prvome mjestu, treneri se razlikuju u vrijednostima tradicije, dostignuća, hedonizma, sigurnosti i konformizma. Schwartzov model ne pokazuje zadovoljavajuće metrijske karakteristike na odabranom specifičnom uzorku ispitanika. Rezultati su pokazali da je na ukupnom uzorku svih trenera kao i kod trenerskih skupina faktorska struktura vrijednosti samo djelomično u skladu sa Schwartzovom teorijom univerzalnih sadržaja i strukture vrijednosti.
