Academics in various disciplines are writing about sport. Sport in Society is a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary forum for academics to discuss the growing relationship of sport to significant areas of modern life. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: Investigating the climate vulnerability of North American ultra-endurance running events by Lance Warwick, Jonathan R. Oliveira & Mikihiro Sato.

Samhällsidrotten och idrottssamhället. Humanistisk och samhällsvetenskaplig idrottsforskning under 50 år [Sport in society and the society of sports. Humanistic and social science sports research over 50 years] is edited by Tomas Peterson and published as a celebration of 50 years of Swedish sport studies within the social sciences and humanities. We went abroad to find a suitable reviewer – not a Swede but Swedish speaking – and Ansgar Molzberger accepted the cumbersome task of reviewing this 556 page tome. And he did well, we are happy to bring his review to your attention.

Hästnäringen påverkar miljön genom exempelvis sitt beroende av transporter, konsumtion av foder, produktion av gödsel och sopor samt behov av energi. I denna artikel av Susanna Hedenborg och kolleger utforskas och analyseras hur aktörer inom hästnäringen förhåller sig till transportberoendet. Resultaten presenteras som fem berättelser om hur personer med olika roller i näringen förhåller sig till transportbehovet. Näringens kunskapsbehov ser olika ut för olika grupper, och möjligheterna att förändra näringen är delvis beroende av andra aktörers handlingar.

The horse industry affects the environment through, for example, its dependence on transport, consumption of feed, production of manure and waste, and energy needs. This article by Susanna Hedenborg and colleagues explores and analyses how actors in the horse industry relate to transport dependence. The results are presented as five stories about how people with different roles in the industry relate to transport needs. The industry's needs for knowledge differ for different groups, and the opportunities to change the industry are partly dependent on the actions of other actors.

Carol A. Osborne & Fiona Skillen’s edited collection Women in Sports History: Ten Years On (Routledge) examines the developments in women’s sports history in Britain in the last 10 years, following on from its successful predecessor Women in Sports History (2010). Susanna Hedenborg reviewed the 2010 volume, and she agreed to take on the sequel. Now as then, she finds much to appreciate, it’s an historians delight, but also now as then there is room for improvement.

Sedan historikern Jan Lindroth disputerade med sin avhandling om idrotten som folkrörelse 1974 har det gått ett halvt sekel, och således firar svensk idrottsforskning sitt femtioårsjubileum 2024. Under perioden har idrottsvetenskap vuxit fram som ett nytt utbildnings-, forsknings- och forskarutbildningsämne. Idag finns det idrottsvetenskapliga institutioner eller motsvarande vid tio lärosäten, och fem av dem har forskarutbildning. Forskningsämnena, som från början var pedagogik, historia och psykologi, omfattar idag över trettio olika ämnesdiscipliner.

Academics in various disciplines are writing about sport. Sport in Society is a multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary forum for academics to discuss the growing relationship of sport to significant areas of modern life. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: Team performance and gendered parenthood in horse-riding activities for young children by Annika Rosén, Susanna Hedenborg, Gabriella Thorell Palmquist & Ellinor Källén (oPen access).

In Sport, Performance and Sustainability, an open access volume edited by Svensson, Backman, Hedenborg & Sörlin (Routledge), the authors examine the logic of ‘faster, higher, and stronger’ and the technoscientific revolution behind the tremendous growth in sport performance over the last 100 years. Our reviewer Benjamin Mole commends the choice of Guttmann’s sportification concept as the starting point and finds much in the analyses to appreciate. Some critical observations notwithstanding, he hails the book for moving the discussion of sporting logics forward.

Syftet med den här artikeln är att kartlägga och analysera hur personer inom hästsporten i Sverige och Norge definierar hästsportens miljöutmaningar, samt att, enligt COM-B-modellen, identifiera förmågor, möjligheter och motivation för att utveckla en mer miljömässigt hållbar hästsektor. Undersökningen är baserad på en enkät som besvarats av 697 personer. Sammanfattningsvis kan vi konstatera att hästsektorn utvecklat ett starkare miljöengagemang än man hade för 15 år sedan.

The purpose of this article is to map and analyze how people within equestrian sports in Sweden and Norway define the environmental challenges of the sport, as well as, with a starting point in the COM-B model, identify capabilities, opportunities, and motivation to develop a more environmentally sustainable horse sector. The study is based on a questionnaire answered by 697 people. In summary, the horse sector has developed a stronger environmental commitment than it had 15 years ago
