Dear all,
Let me once again introduce you to a piece of statistics pertaining to idrottsforum.org.This is the accumulated number of unique daily page views year by year (visitors in darker shade). We had a noticeable decrease 2018–19; all of a sudden, our WordPress theme at the time did not work well with Internet Explorer. Our current theme shows no such tendencies, and in 2021 we exceeded 200,000 page views for the first time, to 111,000 visitors. We expect to reach that level this year as well.
Last week the following items were published on idrottsforum.org (see below; language and publication dates, YYMMDD, in brackets). Click on the red headings to go to content. Utilize the Google Translate service to turn Scandinavian language pages into (some sort of) English.
Have a great week,

Research Article
Equal Abilities – The Swedish Parasport Federation and the Inclusion Process by Madelene Nordlund, Kim Wickman & Staffan Karp
The aim of this study, and the peer review article published in Scandinavian Sport Studies Forum by Madelene Nordlund, Kim Wickman and Staffan Karp, was to map the major organizational change that is currently taking place in Swedish sports, with people labelled with disabilities leaving the Swedish Para-sport Federation (SPF) to participate in mainstream sports under the Swedish Sports Confederation. The study aimed to outline the expectations of this ongoing process of the SPF stakeholders. (Published in English 221012.
Book Review
Idrottsanläggningar – i dag och i morgon: Om behov, tillgänglighet och konkurrerande intressen [Sports facilities – today and tomorrow: On needs, availability and competing interests] by Johan R. Norberg, Christine Dartsch Nilsson & Johan Pihlblad (eds.)
Centrum för idrottsforskning (CIF) har på regeringens uppdrag genomfört en analys av förekomsten och behovet av ändamålsenliga anläggningar och utemiljöer för idrott och andra former av hälsofrämjande fysisk aktivitet. Resultatet presenteras i en antologi där forskare och experter ger olika perspektiv på platser för idrott och motion i Sverige. Vi bad Jens Høyer-Kruse, ledande dansk forskare i området, om en recension. Han kan konstatera att Sverige har en bit att gå för att komma i kapp sina nordiska grannar.
