This Research Topic aims to analyze and highlight the professionalization processes within Paralympic and adaptive sports. Specifically, it seeks to explore the effects of increasing professional standards on athlete performance and testing, coaching quality, organizational governance, governmental and para governmental sporting support, and the overall integrity of these sports. The objective is to investigate the multifaceted impacts of these processes, evaluating how they influence the broader dynamics of the sports involved and their corresponding communities.

This Research Topic aims to scrutinize the multifaceted intersections of sports management, marketing, and economic implications, enhancing our understanding of the various challenges and opportunities that lie within. By analyzing emerging trends, theoretical advances, and the strategic maneuvering in sports industries, the objective is to foster a deeper understanding of sports economics and its synergy with management and marketing principles.

This Research Topic offers an opportunity to publish research centered around the lived experiences of transgender and non-binary athletes. We are particularly interested in work that has an intersectional lens and draws on examples from the Global South, Inter-Asian communities and/or Pacifica, or that focus on the experiences of Indigenous athletes globally. We seek work that reflects how policy development and decision-making across elite, recreational, and community settings influence the experiences of transgender and non-binary athletes.
