The Scandinavian and Nordic
countries have some of the highest participation rates in sport and
physical activity in the world and are therefore important case studies
across a range of subjects, from sport policy to physical activity and
health.
This is the first book to bring together studies
of all those countries in one volume, examining sport, physical
activity and exercise, and exploring the factors behind such high levels
of participation. Rich in empirical data, the book examines trends in
sports participation, organisation and policy in each of the constituent
countries, highlighting common themes and outcomes.
This
is a valuable resource for students, researchers and academics working
in the fields of sport, physical education, leisure, sport policy, sport
development, the sociology of sport, and physical activity and health.
