Sociocultural Issues in Sport and Physical Activity explores the
intersections between modern physical activity and society. The
text surpasses the scope of sociological texts that focus solely on
sports, covering a broad range of physical activities such as
fitness, dance, weightlifting, and others. The authors emphasize
the promotion of healthy individuals and a healthy body in the many
movement settings where the body is active. Sociocultural Issues in
Sport and Physical Activity explores contemporary topics such as
reducing disparities in education and income, increasing
socioeconomic diversity in communities, the medicalization of
fitness, the rise of cosmetic fitness, the promotion of physical
activity as a requirement for health, and the globalization of the
fitness industry. The text includes the following features to
enhance student engagement: Chapter objectives help students
achieve their learning goals Key points and terms to highlight
important information throughout the text Active Bodies sidebars
that offer context for concepts presented in the chapter and
provide examples and applications Discussion questions that provide
opportunities to reflect on chapter topics Part I of Sociocultural
Issues in Sport and Physical Activity examines political,
educational, media, and economic institutions that influence the
relationship between society and physical activity. Part II
explores how an individual's race, gender, social class, and
ability are interpreted through a social lens. Part III of the text
discusses the process of developing healthy populations as well as
promoting public health and body positivity. Sociocultural Issues
in Sport and Physical Activity offers a cross-cultural perspective
of society, health, and the body in motion. Readers will finish the
text with a greater understanding of social theory applications in
physical culture.
