Call for Book Chapters | A Critical Perspective on Parents and Under-Fives Pre-School Sport and Physical Activity | Abstract submission deadline July 14, 2023

This text comes at a significant time in the context of a growing marketplace for commercialised and franchised sport and PA in the UK and elsewhere for the under-fives. To date much of this research has focused on the development of children or on physiological measures of childhood activity. This ignores the social and cultural context in which children take part in Sport and PA.

Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan GIH får 4,7 miljoner kronor till forskning om fysisk aktivitet och psykisk hälsa hos skolungdomar
GIH får 4,7 miljoner kronor av Familjen Kamprads stiftelse till ett forskningsprojekt om fysisk aktivitet och psykisk hälsa hos skolungdomar. Projektet ska bidra till att utvärdera om förlängda skoldagar med läxhjälp och fysiska aktiviteter förbättrar psykisk hälsa, kognition, skolprestation och minskar ojämlikhet i hälsa hos ungdomar. Bakgrunden till satsningen är att svenska ungdomar rör på sig för lite och sitter still för mycket. Samtidigt drabbas allt fler ungdomar av psykisk ohälsa.
