Given the popularity of sport, it is clear to see why strongman political leaders (e.g., Bolsonaro, Orbán, or Trump), who harken to hegemonic masculine forms, have looked to the sporting realm as a means of augmenting their popular appeal. However, beyond sport, in the broader realm of physical culture - encompassing traditional games, fitness and calisthenics, dance forms, and recreational activities - little has been explored or scrutinized.

This special issue of the Sport in Society journal is located at the crossroads of the sociology of sport and the sociology of work and aims to partially fill these gaps in knowledge. We welcome abstracts applying diverse theoretical and methodological approaches within the sociological discipline, as well as studies from the perspectives of other social sciences (anthropology, economics, philosophy).

Gennem de sidste år har vi fået oparbejdet en større kvantitativ og kvalitativ national viden om, hvilke idræts-motiver og barrierer mennesker med nedsat funktionsevne oplever. Til trods for vores større viden, ser det ikke ud til, at forskere, forbund og praktikere endnu har løst de inklusions- og deltagelsesudfordringer som denne målgruppe og idrætslivet sammen står overfor. Derfor har vi på redaktionen for Forum for Idræt taget initiativ til et temanummer om idræt blandt mennesker med nedsat funktionsevne.

This Research Topic editors Donatella Radogna and Christian Tolstrup Jensen aim to showcase original and innovative research, experiences, and projects demonstrating the potential of sports tourism in promoting sustainable development. This includes defining appropriate practices for repurposing and restoring buildings, optimizing the enjoyment and appreciation of natural environments (particularly in depopulated internal regions), initiating processes of social improvement, and fostering the creation of new local micro-economies.

To achieve elite sporting performance, some athletes, coaches, sports organizations, and other stakeholders engage in behaviours that may be unethical, unhealthy, or problematic for various reasons. This special issue aims to examine various integrity, health and governance issues related to esports and virtual sports. We seek to garner submissions that examine issues in esports (competitive video gaming) and virtual sports (mixed reality sports games using interactive peripheral sports equipment).

With this special issue, we seek to build critical scholarship on athletics in higher education that considers the diversity of gender expressions; continued contestations and challenges to the term “woman athlete”; how other forms of power (e.g., race, class, ethnicity, nationality) intersect with gender; how sex and sexuality differently shape gender; and the multitude of ways gender is experienced and expressed (e.g., institutionalized, embodied, as a state project).
