Cuba’s First Trilingual Multimedia on Athletics

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba, Jan 21 (acn) A multimedia on Athletics
(Multiatleti), with over 170 track-and-field terms translated and spoken
in Spanish, Italian and English, was presented at the 11th International
Social Communication Symposium.

This program is meant to become a tool for the Physical Education
students, in order to pass them knowledge through concepts and specific
terminology of the different track and field events, backed up by images
to help a better understanding.

Roberto A. Averhoff, one of its creators, said that the new work tries
to relate in a didactic and profound way different subjects, as physical
education, basic gymnastic, physiology, biochemistry and psychology,
among others.

It also includes a short film for the most important terms where the
students can see what they read and have a clearer idea of some of the
operations in athletics, added Averhoff.

The multimedia is also important for the history of the sport since
includes a small review of the main athletes in this eastern Cuban
province.
