It is beyond dispute that physical activity is good for us, but
what are the benefits, challenges and impacts of sport on health?
This is the first book to focus on football in the context of
health from individual, public and population-level perspectives.
Football as Medicine examines the effects of football training on
the three main types of fitness (cardiovascular, metabolic and
musculoskeletal) and on specific target populations (for example,
children, type 2 diabetes patients, cancer patients, people with
mental health conditions, the socially deprived and older people).
It discusses the significance of football for public health and
assesses the efficacy of football interventions by clubs and
community sport development programs. With its multi-disciplinary
approach, this is a valuable resource for students, researchers and
practitioners working in physical activity and health, public
health, health promotion and medicine, as well as football and
sport business management, sport and exercise science, and the
sociology of sport.
Science and Football VIII showcases the very latest scientific
research into the variety of sports known as 'football'. These
include soccer, the national codes (American football, Australian
rules football and Gaelic football), and the rugby codes (union and
league). Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book is
by far the most comprehensive collection of current research into
football, presenting important new work in key areas such as:
physiology of training performance analysis fitness assessment
nutrition biomechanics injury and rehabilitation youth football
environmental physiology psychology in football sociological
perspectives in football Science and Football VIII is an essential
resource for all sport scientists, trainers, coaches, physical
therapists, physicians, psychologists, educational officers and
professionals working across the football codes. Chapter 6 of this
book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a

It is a common assumption that sport is good for us and that
participation in sport embodies public health benefits. With sport
being increasingly used to deliver public health interventions
worldwide, this book critically examines the rationale and evidence
for sport as a public health policy tool. Featuring contributions
from the United Kingdom, United States, Europe and Australia, it
sheds new light on an emerging field of research which has
significant implications for public health across the globe. Each
chapter looks at the effectiveness of sport interventions across
the lifespan for biological, psychological and social benefits,
including those that utilise a settings-based approach to health
promotion such as schools and professional sport clubs. Drawing on
cutting-edge research which examines policy and practice at
community and elite levels, this book addresses key topics such as
education, engaging children and young adults, mental health, sport
sponsorship and volunteering. Sport and Health: Exploring the
Current State of Play is important reading for all students,
scholars and policy makers with an interest in the sociology of
sport, physical activity and public health.
