Sport, physical activity and play are key constituents of social
life, impacting such diverse fields as healthcare, education and
criminal justice. Over the past decade, governments around the
world have begun to place physical activity at the heart of social
policy, providing increased opportunities for participation for
young people. This groundbreaking text explores the various ways in
which young people experience sport, physical activity and play as
part of their everyday lives, and the interventions and outcomes
that shape and define those experiences. The book covers a range of
different sporting and physical activities across an array of
social contexts, providing insight into the way in which sport,
physical activity and play are interpreted by young people and how
these interpretations relate to broader policy objectives set by
governments, sporting organisations and other NGOs. In the process,
it attempts to answer a series of key questions including: How has
sport policy developed over the last decade? How do such policy
developments reflect changes at the broader political level? How
have young people experienced these changes in and through their
sporting lives? By firmly locating sport, physical activity and
play within the context of recent policy developments, and
exploring the moral and ethical dimensions of sports participation,
the book fills a significant gap in the sport studies literature.
It is an important reference for students and scholars from a
wide-range of sub-disciplines, including sports pedagogy, sports
development, sport and leisure management, sports coaching,
physical education, play and playwork, and health studies.
