Previous scientific findings reinforce the importance of traditional sporting games (TSGs) in fostering experiences of integral well-being or multimodal learning (emotional, relational, or decisional). TSGs, such as ball games, skittles games, team games (dodge ball, fox, chicken, snake, cops and robbers) and tag games are also an excellent resource for PE teachers. We expect to receive manuscripts based on the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) classification in order to find common tactical principles.

The aim of this special issue isto provide a holistic overview on where sport and social media research has been (reflections) and where it may be headed in the future. Specifically, what has social media and sport scholarship contributed in the past decade+, and what are the implications for sport and social media in coming years? For this special issue on social media, we also welcome papers that examine gaming and virtual-reality platforms.

We encourage submissions from early career researchers as well as established researchers. Please note that the Nordic arena is not an exclusionary geography for the papers to be considered. Furthermore, contributors should keep in mind that organised sport for youth is in focus of this special issue, which does not of course exclude that attention can be given among others to children’s rights. We prefer submissions that take an interdisciplinary approach and include attention both to minority and majority youth.

This special issue primarily aims to publish socio-ecological research in sport science. Research investigating interactions between humans and their natural environment, including the link between sport and climate change, planetary health, education for sustainable development, sustainable behavior, sustainable management strategies, civic engagement or political strategies in the sport and physical activity context are highly welcome.

The articles to be published in this special of JSPA are to be grounded in relevant theory and research, presented in a manner that can be understood and used by practitioners, and depict applications that have actually been implemented with one or more professional teams. The articles are expected to provide guidance that will be valuable to practitioners who are involved with professional teams as well as to those who have interests in working at the professional level.

For this special issue celebrating the 40th anniversary year of SSJ, we iseek manuscripts that explore and envision a more radical sociology of sport and physical culture; a project that necessarily builds upon four decades of scholarship while pushing boundaries of what a sociology of sport and physical culture scholarship towards liberation could look like. As Karl Marx noted, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”

This issue welcomes examinations of sport events with particular attention to the role of media and platforms in processes of production of events and/or in related fan strategies and practices – this may include discussions of global and local interests surrounding sport events, and of fan activist movements emerging from or using sport events to promote specific debates

It is the aim of this special issue to bring together international perspectives on protests and social movements, with focus on football, to unpack and understand the complexities and temporalities of modern leisure, and its intersubjective and interdependent relationship with fandom, and the construction of fan identities, politics, and social change.

In this special issue of Communication & Sport, we welcome theoretical and empirical contributions that broadly address the overarching theme of “Mediating the East Asian Era of the Olympic and Paralympic Games” or specially focus on one or more of the events from the 2018, 2020 and/or 2022 Games.

This special issue explores the intersections of aesthetics and athletics in art and visual culture, both thematically and formally. Essays and projects consider the performative aspects of sports at the intersection of debates about race, gender, and sexuality in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. That is, how do images of athletic bodies function to shore up ideologies around whiteness and heteronormativity via the reaffirmation of stereotypes?
