(1) This fact sheet shows that the IOC and UN negotiated for the athletes of the former Republic of Yugoslavia to join the 1992 Barcelona Games as Independent Olympic Athletes (IOA). The IOC approached the UN, because the Security Council of the United Nations had included sports meetings amongst its list of sanctions following the former Yugoslavia's break-up (Resolution 757). (2) Afterwards, an "Appeal for the Olympic Truce" was adopted at the 99th IOC Session in July, 1992. (3) The following year, the "Olympics Truce resolution" was adopted at the United Nations General Assembly. Since 1993, the UN General Assembly has continued to adopt Olympic truce resolutions every two years (in those years preceding the Winter or Summer Olympic Games).

This method is based on the "awareness instruction" presented by W. T. Gallway as "Inner Game Theory." There are some scholars, too, as P. J. Arnold, who asserted that it is necessary to regard. the kinesthetic percepution of movement based on the man's body awareness as serious objectives of movement education. Certainly, it seems to possible to raise the embodiment of the internal awareness as one of the important objectives of sport education. It is not possible to overlook the importance of proprioception as a FB information and the know ledge of results (KR). It seems not to be entered, nevertheless, upon the location of the body aware ness in the motor skill learning because of the difficulty of the data processing. Therefore, it is tried in this study to instruct the students as a tentative ...
