Health and Elite Sport is the first book to critically examine the
relationship between participation in high performance sport and
health outcomes. Drawing on theory and empirical data from a wide
range of disciplines, including sociology, developmental
psychology, epidemiology, and physical education, the book explores
the benefits and detriments of participation in elite sport for
both individuals (athletes, coaches, spectators) and communities.
Written by a team of leading international sport researchers, the
book examines key issues including: Talent identification and young
athletes Abuse in sport Positive youth development through sport
Athlete health in periods of transition Health, sport and the
family Health in professional sport The Olympics, Paralympics and
public health Long term effects of participation in elite sport
Highlighting the connections and contradictions between high
performance sport and health, the book also discusses the clear and
important implications for our socio-cultural, political and
developmental understanding of sport. Health and Elite Sport is
fascinating and important reading for all students and researchers
with an interest in youth sport, sports development, sport policy,
sports coaching, exercise and health, physical education, the
sociology of sport, or the sociology of health.
