Within the overlapping fields of
the sociology of sport, physical education and health education, the use
of critical theories and the critical research paradigm has grown in
scope. Yet what social impact has this research had?
This book
considers the capacity of critical research and associated social theory
to play an active role in challenging social injustices or at least in
‘making a difference’ within health and physical education (HPE) and
sporting contexts. It also examines how the use of different social
theories impacts sport policies, national curricula and health promotion
activities, as well as the practices of HPE teaching and sport training
and competition.
Critical Research in Sport, Health and Physical Education is
a valuable resource for academics and students working in the fields of
research methods, sociology of sport, physical education and health.
