Public health is a key priority for developed and developing
nations. Indeed, many countries have sought strategies to promote
health and reduce health inequalities. A 'settings approach' to
promoting health has been endorsed by the World Health
Organization, which has seen settings such as workplaces, schools,
hospitals and prisons utilised to promote health. Alongside this,
sport has received increasing pressure to consider its social role
within the societies and communities in which it operates. Healthy
Stadia is a European focused initiative with lessons relevant for
global audiences to develop: (i) healthier stadium environments for
fans and non-matchday visitors (e.g. smoke-free environments), (ii)
healthier club workforces (e.g. bike to work schemes) and (iii)
healthier populations in local communities (e.g. child obesity
interventions). This book outlines lessons and insight from
practitioners and empirical research for those seeking to learn and
research stadia as a settings approach to health promotion. The
areas covered include: practical considerations for health
promotion in sports stadia; empirical research on the sports stadia
as a setting for public health promotion; research on physical
activity and health promotion programmes delivered by the outward
facing community trusts attached to sports clubs; an analysis of
the policy considerations for health promotion by sports clubs in
school based settings and critical insight and discussion
surrounding the use of physical activity and sport interventions to
promote physical activity and public health. The chapters in this
book originally published in a special issue of Sport in Society.
