About this Research Topic
Modern society depends on research and the advancement of knowledge in order to achieve health and prosperity for all. However, to build on what we currently know and understand, it is important to debate and discuss new ideas and changing trends along with the challenges this presents.
Frontiers in Sport and Active Living recognizes the importance of facilitating debate and discussion amongst the community, and so has organized a series of Research Topics, offering a platform for such discussion to occur.
This Research Topic entitled 'Debates in The History, Culture and Sociology of Sports' aims to highlight themes that foster debate and discussion in the community on topics relevant to this area. We encourage authors to submit opinions or perspective pieces that focus on the ‘pros’ or ‘cons’ concerning such topics as:
- Sport and the environment;
- Youth participation in sport;
- Trends in exercise and physical activity;
- Sport and equitable development (e.g., socioeconomic disparity, infrastructure, accessibility, technology, gender, adaptive sport development, apparel/fitness industry)
- Inclusion in sport participation (e.g., gender, adaptive sport development, accessibility, apparel/fitness industry)
- Theoretical debates in sport, leisure, and physical activity
- Sport and the body
- Sport and the media
- Sport and equality
- Sporting pedagogies
- Sport and the social and political impacts of technology.
We also welcome original research and review articles.
