Contemporary Meanings of Endurance - An Interdisciplinary Approach (Hardcover): Noel Salazar, Jeroen Scheerder Contemporary Meanings of Endurance - An Interdisciplinary Approach (Hardcover)
Noel Salazar, Jeroen Scheerder
R3,836 Discovery Miles 38 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book critically analyses the concept of endurance from different theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and empirical perspectives. The first part of the book takes a closer look at endurance, by examining how it relates to concepts such as resilience, perseverance, and perdurance. By analysing how these concepts overlap but differ, we reach a better understanding of what constitutes endurance. Furthermore, endurance is reconfigured as a as a mundane aspect of everyday life. The latter part of the book focuses on embodied experiences of endurance, more specifically on endurance running, walking, and (physical) performances. The different contributions focus on the meanings, values, and attributes that people ascribe to endurance in various socio-cultural contexts. The book uncovers practices, environments, and discourses in which endurance is applied and manifested, from drought-affected communities in rural Australia to professional endurance runners in Ethiopia as well as migrants in Greece and performance acts in domestic spaces in the United Kingdom and beyond. This book will be of interest to scholars of movement sciences, sports studies, mobilities, leisure studies, and resilience studies.

Funktionen von Sportvereinen in europäischen Gesellschaften - Eine länderübergreifende vergleichende Studie (1. Aufl. 2023):... Funktionen von Sportvereinen in europäischen Gesellschaften - Eine länderübergreifende vergleichende Studie (1. Aufl. 2023)
Siegfried Nagel, Karsten Elmose-Østerlund, Bjarne Ibsen, Jeroen Scheerder
R2,239 Discovery Miles 22 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In diesem Buch werden die gesellschaftlichen Funktionen von Sportvereinen anhand eines breiten Spektrums an empirischen Daten einer vergleichenden Studie näher beleuchtet. Es gibt nur wenige aktuelle Erkenntnisse über die Funktionen von Sportvereinen und ihr Potenzial, die öffentliche Gesundheit, den sozialen Zusammenhalt und die demokratische Teilhabe durch freiwilliges Engagement zu fördern und damit zum Gemeinwohl in den europäischen Gesellschaften beizutragen. Die meisten der vorhandenen Studien sind länderspezifisch und erlauben daher keine Vergleiche aus einer länderübergreifenden Perspektive. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat das Projekt "Social Inclusion and Volunteering in Sports Clubs in Europe" (SIVSCE) vergleichbare Daten und Erkenntnisse in zehn europäischen Ländern gesammelt, analysiert und diskutiert und dieses Wissen an Politiker, Sportfachleute und Freiwillige im Sport in Europa weitergegeben. Das SIVSCE-Projekt enthält vergleichende Daten von Vereinen sowie von Mitgliedern in ausgewählten Sportvereinen. In jedem Länderkapitel werden die vergleichenden Daten aus dem SIVSCE-Projekt in kohärenter Weise zusammengestellt. Insbesondere die Daten der Mitgliederbefragung geben detailliert Auskunft über die Erfüllung der verschiedenen Funktionen von Sportvereinen (z.B. Erweiterung der demokratischen Teilhabe, soziale Integration). Dieses Buch liefert detaillierte Daten zu politischen Fragen, zur Struktur und zum Management von Vereinen sowie zu individuellen Mitgliederbefragungen und ist damit sowohl für Studierende - insbesondere in Sportmanagement-Studiengängen - als auch für Forscher und Praktiker in den Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften von Nutzen.

Jeroen Scheerder, Hanna Vehmas, Kobe Helsen
R3,766 Discovery Miles 37 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explores the rise, size and shape of the European fitness industry by using harmonised data as well as in-depth analyses of national surveys in fifteen European countries. Following an introduction to the socio-historical and conceptual aspects of fitness, the collection presents the scope of fitness as a business and participatory activity. Furthermore, both policy and governance issues as well as community and supply angles are considered. Drawing on this unique material, the book will appeal to students and scholars of sport business, sport economics, sport management, and social sport sciences, but also to administrators, policymakers and entrepreneurs in the international and national sport and health community.

R4,519 Discovery Miles 45 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book takes a closer look at the societal functions of sports clubs by using the broad range of empirical data of a comparative study. There is a limited amount of up-to-date knowledge on the functions of sports clubs and their potential to promote public health, social cohesion and democratic participation through volunteering and thus contribute to public welfare in European societies. Most of the existing studies are country-specific and therefore do not allow for making comparisons from a cross-national perspective. In light of this, the project 'Social Inclusion and Volunteering in Sports Clubs in Europe' (SIVSCE) collected, analysed and discussed comparable data and knowledge across ten European countries and disseminated this knowledge to politicians, sports professionals and sports volunteers in Europe. The SIVSCE project contains comparative data of clubs as well as of members in selected sports clubs. In each country chapter, the comparative data from the SIVSCE project is put together in a coherent way. Particularly, the data of the member survey give in-depth information about the fulfillment of the different functions of sports clubs (e.g. extension of democratic participation, social integration). Providing in-depth data related to policy issues, structure and management of clubs and individual member surveys, this book will be useful for students particularly those in sports management programmes as well as researchers and practitioners in social science and economics.

This handbook explores the various ways in which disability sport is governed and organised across Europe, as well as examining the extent to which persons with a disability participate in sport at the grassroots level. Based upon a solid theoretical framework and up-to-date data, the 19 country-specific chapters in this handbook give a comparative overview of the structuring, steering and supporting elements of disability sport policy and sport participation levels amongst persons with a disability, as well as the extent to which countries adopt policies to promote inclusion in sport in this population. A multitude of authors also identify the various methods and challenges in collecting sport participation data with regard to persons with a disability. This handbook will be a valuable resource for academic study across a range of sport and disability related programs, as well as a point of reference for researchers and policymakers working in this area.
