Design for Sport shows how socially responsible design can
contribute to make sport practice widespread in the general
population including disadvantaged and hard-to-reach groups, and
those that have been traditionally excluded such as the elderly,
disabled people, those living in deprived areas and from lower
socioeconomic strata plus certain minority ethnic and religious
groups. Contributions from around the world provide compelling case
studies and an international perspective. While the main benefit
from expanding sports practice in developed societies would be
reduction of chronic disease rates and social inclusion, in the
developing world where political instability and conflict are more
common, the authors look at how sport can have other functions,
such as a means of post-disaster relief. They discuss how
Participatory Design (PD) techniques and appropriate ethnographies
can be implemented in order to better understand users' needs and
requirements as in the case of Paralympic sport where the increased
sophistication of equipment used has evolved to meet the demands of
the athletes. Reflecting the multi-disciplinary and
cross-disciplinary nature of design for sport, the book also
features case studies that look at environmental design to improve
sport accessibility, social wellbeing, economic development and
environmental sustainability.
