Description

Product Description 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. About the Author Daniel Parnell is a Senior Lecturer in Business Management at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.

He currently works with a number of professional sport clubs and national governing bodies in England and internationally. He has worked with the Premier League, Football League, Football Foundation (United Kingdom's largest sports charity) and the International Olympic Committee on research with policy makers, commissioners, chief executive officers, managers, coaches and participants.
