International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics
Call for Papers
Special Issue: Sport, Physical Activity and Public Health
Guest editors: Dr Louise Mansfield and Dr Joe Piggin
The aim of this special issue is to encourage critical discussions
about the relationships between sport, physical activity and
public health.
The resurgence in the importance of physical activity in public
health policy is evidenced by the development of increasingly
explicit recommendations on physical activity levels in global
health strategies and national physical activity policies, along
with intensifying local promotion, delivery and governance of
individual and community based sport and physical activity
programmes. The sport sector specifically is a priority area
for increasing population rates of physical activity. However,
very little is known about the contribution of sport to physical
activity and health. The requirements for successful individual,
community and national promotion of sport and physical
activity programmes are not well understood and there is
scope to bring critical work to the fore on the consequences
(both intended and unintended) of such programmes for
diverse groups of people.
