Description
Addresses fundamental questions about the relationship between sport and sustainability which have so far been under-researched.
Historicizes the environmental issues of sport in new and innovative ways, adding chronological depth to complement the often-contemporary approach in sport management.
Brings together leading scholars from sport history, sport pedagogy, sport philosophy, environmental history and sport science.
Problematizes and develops the sportification model, which is one of the fundamental theories used in sport-related research in humanities and social sciences.
Potential to become a standard reference on sportification and sustainability.
