Progressive and broad-ranging, The Routledge Handbook of Gender Politics in Sport and Physical Activity edited by Győző Molnár and Rachael Bullingham, offers a comprehensive overview of the complex intersections between politics, gender, sport and physical activity.

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.
