SPORT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ACROSS THE LIFESPAN...

This edited collection problematizes trajectories of health promotion across the lifespan. It
provides a distinctive critical social science perspective of the various directions taken by
dominant policies in their approach to promoting sport for all ages. It offers an array of
theoretical and methodologically diverse perspectives on this topic  and highlights the
intersections between different life stages and social  economic and cultural factors in the
developed world  including class  gender  ability  family dynamics and or race. Sport and
Physical Activity across the Lifespan critically explores dominant policies of age-focussed
sport promotion in order to highlight its implications within the context of particular life
stages as they intersect with social  cultural and economic factors. This includes an
examination of organised sport for pre-schoolers  'at-risk' youth sport programmes  and the
creation of sporting sub-cultures within the mid-life 'market'. This book will be of interest
to those wanting to learning more about how age and life stages affect the way people think
about and participate in sport  and to better understand the impacts of sport across the
lifespan.
