La responsabilitat civil en les activitatsen el medi natural a la comunitat autònoma de Catalunya. Mesures de prevenció
La utilització del medi natural com a àrea esportiva ha fet proliferar els cada vegada més coneguts “esports d’aventura, de risc o en el medi natural”, i això comporta i provoca l’augment del nombre d’accidents i, en conseqüència, les denúncies en relació amb la responsabilitat civil respecte d’això. Què és i quan neix la responsabilitat civil?, quins són els seus límits jurídics? i de quina manera afecten els agents que intervenen en les activitats en el medi natural –organitzadors, monitors i practicants–? El present article analitza l’ordenament jurídic, regulació de: a) l’activitat, b) la titulació necessària per exercir i c) la responsabilitat exigible als agents participants. Finalment, recull propostes d’actuació, per a l’organitzador i el monitor professional, amb l’objectiu d’adequar les seves actuacions al marc normatiu que regula la responsabilitat civil
La responsabilidad civil en las actividades en el medio natural en la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña. Medidas de prevención
La utilización del medio natural como área deportiva ha hecho proliferar los cada vez más conocidos “deportes de aventura, de riesgo o en el medio natural” lo que conlleva y provoca el aumento del número de accidentes y, en consecuencia, las denuncias en relación a la responsabilidad civil al respecto. ¿Qué es y cuándo nace la responsabilidad civil?, ¿cuáles son sus límites jurídicos? y ¿de qué manera afectan a los agentes que intervienen en las actividades en el medio natural –organizadores, monitores y practicantes–? El presente artículo analiza el ordenamiento jurídico, regulación de: a) la actividad, b) la titulación necesaria para ejercer y c) la responsabilidad exigible a los agentes participantes. Finalmente, recoge propuestas de actuación, para el organizador y el monitor profesional, con el objetivo de adecuar sus actuaciones al marco normativo que regula la responsabilidad civil
Professional development, skills, and competences in sports: a survey in the field of sport management among public managers
Background: Sport management in municipalities has an enormous importance and is becoming increasingly
complex, requiring specific and robust skills from sport managers. The discussion about the role of sport
managers has gained increasing importance within scientific research in sport, being crucial to possess essential
knowledge and skills to act efficiently and effectively in increasingly complex and differentiated contexts, based
on academic training. Approach: This study aims to deepen the knowledge about managers and municipal
officials with responsibilities in sports by identifying the socio-demographic profile, professionals with specific
training in sport management and its perceived value in the improvement of skills. Methods: Methodologically,
it is a descriptive quantitative study of exploratory nature, data were collected in a universe of 308 Portuguese
municipalities through a questionnaire survey, obtaining 433 valid responses from 302 municipalities (98%
representativeness). Results: The results revealed that managers are mainly male (74,5%), as are the municipal
officials (73,6%), both are aged between 41-49 (51,3% and 54,4%) and have a degree, with the first having
specialised in physical education (34,0%) and sport (32,0%) and the second in other non-sport areas (55,2%).
Despite the low level of academic training in sport management (10,0% and 8,0%), both consider this expertise
important in improving professional skills and practices (>80,0% and >75,0%). Conclusion: We conclude that
there is an unequivocal appreciation of sport management training as a tool for improving management and
leadership skills, making it imperative to analyse the fields of intervention in which it distinguishes itself.
Universities have made enormous progress in adapting their academic curriculum to the needs of contemporary
sport management, however, there are still very few professionals working in this area with specialized training.
This scenario also makes it imperative to understand why current managers do not seek specialized training
and/or if the existing training in universities offers a guarantee of a successful practice in sports organizations
Understanding the Predictors of Economic Politics on Elite Sport: A Case Study from Spain
Sport federations (NSFs) are the main promoters of sport at a national level. Their complex
management involves coordinating relations with private entities, public administrations, and
international organisations. Therefore, the economic situation of a country and its sport support
policies have significant influences on the achievement of the NSFs’ objectives and, therefore, on their
sustainability and influence on an active population. This study analyses the determinants of the
financial performance of 59 Spanish sport federations (SSFs), 28 Olympic and 31 non-Olympic, based
on the relationship between the funding received and their international results during the period
from 2007 to 2019 (both years included). The preliminary data analysis included an examination of the
missing data, and a t-test was used to compare Olympic and non-Olympic sport federations regarding
different variables related to their resources and results. In addition, multiple linear regressions
identified the possible predictors of the financing of sport federations and were separately performed
for Olympic and non-Olympic federations. The results showed that SSFs were able to maintain their
results in the face of decreasing resources. In addition, Olympic SSFs were found to be less dependent
on public funding than non-Olympic SSFs for competitive results. This is evidence of a paradigm
shift in the management of Spanish federated sports, evolving towards a model that is less dependent
on the state, more efficient, and therefore more sustainable.Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport-Salvador de Madariaga PRX 16/0036
The Environmental Impact of Major Sport Events (Giga, Mega and Major): A Systematic Review from 2000 to 2021
In the context of the Sustainable Development Goals interest and concerns about the
environmental impact of major sporting events have become increasingly widespread, voiced not only
by organizers, but also spectators and residents of affected areas, as well politicians and institutional
representatives of the host territories. There are multiple studies of the economic, social, and legal
impacts of major sport events. Although several studies have pointed to a range of environmental
impacts, there is no clear consensus on the effects that a major event can have on the natural
environment. Thus, the aim of this article is to carry out a systematic review of the state of the art.
Following the steps proposed by the PRISMA protocol, a selection of scientific articles from between
2000 and 2021 was made. The overall analysis shows that the negatives outweigh the positives, as
only 32.91% of the effects described in the articles are deemed to be positive, with 62.03% deemed to
be negative, and finally, 5.06% found to be inconclusive. With varying degrees of success, organizers
and promoters of major events are already attempting measures to reduce negative impacts and
enhance positive ones
Análisis de Trekorientación® Bosque de Poblet: un evento deportivo sostenible en el medio natural
El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar si la 8ª edición de la Trekorientació® Bosque de Poblet puede ser considerado como un evento deportivo sostenible. Consideramos un evento deportivo sostenible como aquel que procura minimizar el nivel de impacto ambiental por parte de la organización y la práctica deportiva en sí (sostenibilidad ambiental), al tiempo que vela por integrar de la manera más equilibrada posible la diversidad de sus participantes (sostenibilidad social interna). Para el análisis organizativo se recurrió a la aplicación de un modelo de análisis elaborado a partir de la Guía del medio ambiente y sostenibilidad aplicado a deportes no olímpicos: medidas y buenas prácticas ambientales. Para el análisis de la participación deportiva, se recurrió a la aplicación de una encuesta sobre una muestra representativa de 211 participantes. Entre los principales resultados obtenidos cabe destacar la consideración de la Trekorientació® Bosque de Poblet como un evento de carácter sostenible desde el punto de vista social y ambiental
Anàlisi de Trekorientació® Bosc de Poblet: un esdeveniment esportiu sostenible en el medi natural
L’objectiu principal d’aquest treball és analitzar si la 8a edició de la Trekorientació® Bosc de Poblet pot ser considerada com un esdeveniment esportiu sostenible. Considerem un esdeveniment esportiu sostenible aquell en què l’organització i la pràctica esportiva de si mateixa procuren minimitzar el nivell d’impacte ambiental (sostenibilitat ambiental), i que vetlla per integrar de la manera més equilibrada possible la diversitat dels seus participants (sostenibilitat social interna). Per a l’anàlisi organitzativa, es va recórrer a l’aplicació d’un model d’anàlisi elaborada a partir de la Guia del medi ambient i sostenibilitat aplicats a esports no olímpics: mesures i bones pràctiques ambientals. Per a l’anàlisi de la participació esportiva, es va recórrer a l’aplicació d’una enquesta sobre una mostra representativa de 211 participants. Entre els principals resultats obtinguts cal destacar la consideració de la Trekorientació® Bosc de Poblet com un esdeveniment de caràcter sostenible des dels punts de vista social i ambiental
El deporte para todos en la organización de eventos deportivos. Las motivaciones de participación y el grado de satisfacción como posibles indicadores de control. El caso de la Trekorientación® Bosque de Poblet
La proliferación de eventos deportivos locales promocionados como deporte para todos (DPT) es una realidad sobre la cual cabría realizar
algunas cuestiones: ¿qué se entiende por DPT?, ¿qué requisitos deberían cumplir este tipo de eventos para ser considerados DPT?, ¿de qué forma se podría
valorar el cumplimiento o no de estos requisitos? A partir de estas cuestiones, y tomando como caso de estudio la 8va Trekorientación® Bosque de
Poblet, el presente trabajo plantea una propuesta de análisis y validación de la aplicación práctica del concepto DPT. Para la realización del presente
proyecto se recurrió a la aplicación de una encuesta sobre una muestra representativa de 211 participantes, previa realización de 77 pre-encuestas. La
observación y análisis de las principales características organizativas del evento también fueron otros de los imputs considerados en la realización de este
estudio. Entre las principales conclusiones extraídas de este trabajo destaca la posibilidad de considerar: la diversidad de las motivaciones de participación
y el alto grado de satisfacción de estas como posibles indicadores de medida aptos para comprobar y validar que un evento deportivo es DPT. Estos dos
aspectos fueron identificados en los resultados
