Sport in the UK (Paperback)

This is a comprehensive introduction for higher education students to the provision, organization, and governance of sport in the UK. Supported by case study material, Sport in the UK introduces the reader to key government policies, and to the ways in which the public, private, and voluntary sectors provide sporting opportunities. The book focuses on issues of participation, employment, media coverage, and commercialization, and it critically examines them in light of the key themes of equality and diversity. Pedagogical features - learning outcomes and learning activities - help students develop an active approach to the study of sport in the UK.
