The relationship between sport, medicine and health in our society
is becoming increasingly complex. This important and timely study
explores this relationship through an analysis of changing
political economies, altered perceptions of the body and science's
developing contribution to the human condition. Surveying the
various ways in which medicine interacts with the world of sport,
it examines the changing practices and purposes of sports medicine
today. Drawing on the latest research in the sociology of sport,
this book investigates the scientific discourse underlying the
promotion of physical activity to reveal the political context in
which medical knowledge and public policies emerge. It considers
the incongruities between these policies and their attempts to
regulate the supply of and demand for sports medicine. Through a
series of original case studies, this book exposes the social
construction of sports medical knowledge and questions the
potential for medicine to influence athletes' well-being both
positively and negatively. Sport, Medicine and Health: The
medicalization of sport? provides valuable insights for all
students and scholars interested in sports medicine, sports policy,
public health and the sociology of sport.
