The collection Artificial Intelligence in Sports, Movement, and Health (Springer), edited by Carlo Dindorf and colleagues, explores the profound impact of AI on how we approach sports, movement, and health. Our reviewers Anne Tjønndal, Daniele Canini & Stian Røsten found some interesting discussions of AI in sports in the book, but it was difficult to read for social science sports scholars, which introductory and concluding chapters as well as greater editorial effort aimed at building a strong coherence between the individual chapters would have alleviated.

The following research question is explored: What experiences do football coaches for men’s and women’s teams have with sports technology and how are these technologies gendered? The article is based on qualitative interviews with 12 football coaches for men’s and women’s football teams in Norway.

What is the meaning of sport? How is it organized? What are the consequences of the professionalization, digitalization, and technologization of sport? Is sport for everyone, or does it emphasize and reinforce social inequality? Arve Hjelseth’s, Lone Friis Thing’s and Anne Tjønndal’s book Idrettssosiologi (Fagbokforlaget) looks at questions such as these through a sociological lens, and do so, according to Johan Högman, very successfully. A few critical points notwithstanding, our reviewer is very happy with the way the authors apply sociological theory to the phenomenon of sport.
