Sport, Health Economics and Society (SHES) Series- Vol. 1: Essays in Sport Research

Abstract

Sport is a global phenomenon that encompasses contemporary societies. Sport issues have attracted the interdisciplinary interest of various disciplines, from medicine and quality of life research to economics, sociology and law. Based on such an assumption, which places sports science within the realm of social sciences, the Sport, Health Economics and Society series (SHES) aims to understand and address issues and potential developments in contemporary sports practise and experience. This first edition of the SHES series makes connections between different disciplines and topics, from economics to management and sociology, to highlight key issues of sport experience and suggest potential avenues for the specific development of the field.
