Summary

Sport should now be understood as a lifelong activity, beginning in childhood, which is accessible to participants of all levels of ability. Lifelong Engagement in Sport and Physical Activityoffers an overview of some of the core concerns underlying lifelong engagement in sport, encompassing every age and phase of engagement. The book explores key models of engagement from around the world, as well as specific areas of research that will help the reader understand this important topic. In adopting a lifespan approach, the book pays particular attention to sport and physical activity during childhood and adolescence as well as transitions into adulthood, the developmental periods when participation in sport and physical activity are most likely to decline. Understanding more about participation during these early years is important for sustaining participation during adulthood. The book also addresses issues relating to sport and physical activity during adulthood, across a range of different populations, while a final section examines sport and physical activity among older adults, an often overlooked segment of society in this context. Lifelong Engagement in Sport and Physical Activityis important reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students in teacher education, sport and coaching science, and for coaches, teachers and relevant bodies and organisations in sport and education.
