This book examines the logic of 'faster, higher, stronger', and the
techno-scientific revolution that has driven tremendous growth in
the sports economy and in sport performance over the last 100
years. It asks whether this logic needs revisiting in the light of
the climate crisis and sport's environmental responsibilities.
Drawing on multi-disciplinary work in sport history, sport
pedagogy, sport philosophy, sport science and environmental
history, the book considers how sportification may have contributed
to the growing environmental impact of sport, but also whether it
might be used as a tool of positive social change. It reflects on
the ways that sport sets performance limits for other ethical
reasons, such as doping controls, and asks whether sport could or
should set limits for environmental reasons too. Sport, Performance
and Sustainability touches on key themes in sport studies including
digitisation, activism, social media, empowerment, youth sport and
physical education. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an
interest in sport, the environment, development, sociology or
culture.
