A timely and thought-provoking contribution to the study of sports, leisure, and health
Sine Agergaard’s and David Karen’s edited collection Social Issues in Sport, Leisure, and Health (Routledge) presents a series of in-depth descriptions of grassroots sport, urban lifestyle sport, physical activity across the life course, and sport for children with special needs. Karin Andersson’s insightful review maps out the theoretical directions at the basis of the study and, while also offering some critical points, concludes that the volume provides a crucial counterpoint to the prevailing individualism by illustrating how broader social determinants shape health, sport participation, and leisure activities.
