Ph.D. Studentship | An investigation of athlete awareness of and attitudes towards anti-doping policies and practices in new youth/action sports | Northumbria University. Position closes January 27, 2023
The attraction of new/action sports is that they are culturally different to mainstream sports. Individuality, freedom, and non-conformity are key motives for participation. The governance of these activities as sports has only recently been formalised, whilst traditionally many participants have seen them as counter-cultures, which manifested freedom and creativity and could be also linked with use of recreational drugs.
