Physical activity, inactivity and their relationship to health are
serious concerns for governments around the world. This is the
first book to critically examine the policy and practice of
physical activity from a multi-disciplinary, social-scientific
perspective. Moving beyond the usual biophysical and
epidemiological approaches, it defines and explores the key themes
that are shaping the global physical activity debate. Unrivalled in
its scale and scope, it presents the latest data on physical
activity from around the world, including case studies from Europe,
North and South America, Africa and Asia. Drawing on social,
economic and behavioural sciences, it covers contexts from the
global to the local and introduces the dominant ideas which inform
the study of physical activity. Its 41 chapters examine the use of
different forms of evidence in policymaking, the role of
organisations in advocating physical activity, and the practical
realities of public health interventions. The Routledge Handbook of
Physical Activity Policy and Practice is a landmark publication for
all students, academics, policymakers and practitioners interested
in the social-scientific study of sport, exercise, physical
activity and public health.
