Human Growth Hormone And Athletes
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Athletes represent a special group of people who are keenly aware of their nutritional requirements. After all, they demand a great deal from their bodies as a means by which to achieve their varied and often rigorous athletic goals. Still, this is not to say that just because one is an athlete that one heeds either the legal and dangerous aspects of obtaining an artificial – albeit optimal – performance. As a means by which to overcome the inherent setbacks that come with size, the writer discusses how athletes have been known to take human growth hormone supplements; believing that the benefits of enhanced performance will outweigh the related issues with health and sportsmanship, the sports world has become inundated with the use of a very questionable dietary addition.

Impact Of Instant Replay In College-Level Sports
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. An college-level sports official's job, while highly enviable, is also fraught with perpetual trepidation each time a play is called; whether in favor of the home team or visitors, a referee's call is considered as good as gospel when it comes to how the game will proceed from that point forward. Or at least that is how college-level sports have long been played up until recently when the advent of instant replay brought with it a hotly divided pool of fans, players, managers and owners who look at this offspring of technological advancement from opposing sides. Instant replay - which "allows questionable line calls to be overturned after they are reviewed on a video screen" (Block, 2006, p. 6) - may have the tendency to right the wrongs of erroneous calls made by officials, but it also has the presents a number of unfavorable considerations that pre-empt its more positive characteristics, not the least of which includes interpretation and fairness. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Improving the Serve
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing what parts of anatomy and what actions need to be addressed in achieving improved performance in the service of a volleyball, which is more straightforward than achieving improvement in other areas. Conditions always are consistent in terms of distance to send the ball, where to send the ball and the motions involved in accomplishing a successful serve. Improvements in the results of the serve therefore can focus on the server’s approach to the ball and the level of strength s/he includes in making contact with the ball to initiate its movement. The server soon will determine what level of force applied will result in placing the ball in the desired area of the opposing team’s court without traveling out of bounds. Once these principles are defined in action, ultimate improvement in performance rests on the repetition of practice. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Increased Ticket Pricing of Basketball
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses the fact that professional basketball ticket prices
have skyrocketed in the past few years. The average fan cannot
afford a ticket, much less a ticket for a good seat. One has to
wonder what sort of impact the lack of affordability and the
elitism that has evolved around basketball will ultimately have
in terms of game attendance, present behavior of spectators, and
the future behavior of fans. A number of factors have combined to
cause such a situation and team owners and management must
develop a number of creative ways of responding to the situation
if they are to continue to maintain a full house of fans on game
nights. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
