Nu finns läroböcker i idrottsvetenskap på alla skandinaviska majoritetsspråk; det senaste tillskottet är norska antologin Idrettsvitenskap: Perspektiver og praksis, sammanställd av Stig Arve Sæther (Universitetsforlaget). I den medverkar några av de främsta norska idrottsforskarna, samt därtill en svensk och en dansk. En annan dansk idrottsforskare tog på sig att recensera boken för idrottsforum.org, Ulrik Wagner, och från honom blev det både ris och ros.

New peer review article published in Scandinavian Sport Studies Forum. The authors, Harald Dolles, Hallgeir Gammelsæter, Oskar Solenes and Solveig Straume, conclude that a football club functions as a frequent reminder of the hometown for people that have migrated, and its activities serve as a foundation for conversations that might support migrators to build up social capital at their new location.
