Families, Pre-School Sport, and Physical Activity
Bringing together international authors writing from a social science perspective on babies, toddlers and pre-school sport and physical activity, this book explores the social and cultural context in which children under five take part in sport and physical activity.The book provides a wider understanding of how under-five sport and physical activity (PA) can be understood and how parents' decisions are shaped by economic, cultural, and changing family, work, and social settings. As early childhood is increasingly understood as a time when children are impacted by inequality, poverty and unequal access to opportunities, the text considers how access to enrichment activities may exacerbate inequalities in a post pandemic society and during a cost-of-living crisis. The book is organised into three parts, covering theoretical concepts of childhood and parenting, and then presents parent perspectives, and inclusion in pre-school sport and PA from a UK and international perspective respectively.This is an excellent introduction to the key trends and patterns in under-fives sport and PA for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying sport studies, sport management, sport science, sociology, and cultural studies. It helps students to consider how these patterns can be understood through a socio-cultural lens on equality, families, childhood, and parenting. It is also a valuable resource for academics and researchers in sport, sociology, and social sciences more broadly.
Physical Activity, Physical Fitness and Depression
This innovative book, Physical activity, physical fitness and depression, brings together critical reviews of issues in the relationship between physical activity, fitness and depression, stimulating individual reflection and including debate on current research, methodologies, and applied practices. This book helps the reader understand the magnitude of depression as a disease that has increased its prevalence in recent decades and the other health problems associated with it. Since psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are often used to treat depression, this exponentially increases health costs for national health systems. In addition, there are always side effects associated with pharmacotherapy. Therefore, other ways, less expensive and without side effects for treating depression are important. Physical activity, physical fitness and depression outlines the ways that physical activity and physical fitness are viable options for preventing and treating depression. Designed as a supplementary textbook, Physical activity, physical fitness and depression is key reading for students and academics alike in the areas of Sports Science, Sport Psychology, Sports Therapy, and Psychology and with its thematic content, the book's allure extends to professionals, including practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, and sports organisations, who stand to gain valuable insights from its contents.
