This is the first book to focus on participatory research in the context of sport and physical activity. It explores the transformative potential of participatory research methods and provides an introduction to the practicalities of doing participatory research in sport and physical activity.The book is structured around phases of the research process, covering research design, data collection, data analysis, and knowledge mobilization and translation. Chapters cover research design topics such as building research partnerships, reflexivity and ethical issues; methods such as social photo-elicitation, go-along interviews, and biographical mapping; analytical approaches such as collective memory work and collaborative analysis; and knowledge mobilization and translation topics such as podcasting, digital tools, and peer review. Every chapter includes a review of key developments, a guide to how that approach can be employed, an example from the author’s own work, and critical reflections on how that approach can shape future research and have an impact on public discourse.This book is an invaluable resource for students and researchers working in sport studies, the sociology of sport, sport and exercise psychology, sport management and policy, and human movement and health studies more broadly. It will be particularly useful for those interested in diverse and inclusive approaches to qualitative research methodologies.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, the Routledge Handbook of Sports Development is still the only book to fully map the discipline of sports development, covering theory, policy, academic research, and professional practice.Spanning the whole spectrum of activity in sports development, from youth sport and mass participation to the development of elite athletes, the book identifies and defines the core functions of sports development and its interface with cognate fields such as politics, economics, social welfare, coaching, and education. This new edition includes expanded coverage of important and emerging topics such as sport-for-development, evaluation, older adults, women’s sport, informal sport, athlete welfare, human rights and professionalisation, as well as a completely new section examining connections between sports development and international and global issues.Featuring the work of leading international scholars and practitioners, and now with more international case studies, including from the Global South, the Routledge Handbook of Sports Development is essential reading for all students, researchers, and professionals with an interest in this important and rapidly evolving discipline.
