Sport and Society
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is clear that sport plays a fundamental role in today's society, providing multiple physical and psychological benefits. There is no doubt that it exerts an important influence on today's globalised society, promoting economic development in different geographical, cultural and political contexts. Sport is also a powerful tool for strengthening ties and boosting bilateral relations, as sport occupies a key place in many of today's cultures. This Topic aims to disseminate national or international research studies on issues related to sport and society, highlighting the relevance of such studies in addressing various aspects of society and thus contributing to a better understanding of it. We welcome contributions on the above topics in any of the following forms: reliability studies, validity studies, correlational studies, observational studies, study protocols, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies, case reports, qualitative studies, studies with discourse analysis, bibliometric reviews, narrative reviews, scoping reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Topics of interest include:
- Sport and society;
- Physical activity, exercise or sport and health;
- Gender and sport;
- Political economies of sport;
- History of sport;
- Sociology of Sport;
- Corporal expression;
- Inclusive and adapted sport.
