Paul M. Pedersen’s edited collection Research Handbook on Sport and COVID-19 (Edward Elgar) examines sport-related research and analysis pertaining to how the sport industry has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and discusses how the sport industry and its stakeholders might move forward in post-pandemic times.
