Those involved with the development of sport for young people will be
aware that despite considerable interest in the topic, there is very little hard
data on basic questions such as the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘where’ and ‘how’
of participation. Young People’s Involvement in Sport provides this
information, based on data collected from 2,400 lengthy face-to-face
interviews with children aged 7–16, 600 activity diaries, and focus groups
with élite performers, coaches and parents. The book offers a
comprehensive picture of young people’s involvement in sport and physical
activity in the 1990s and a benchmark against which development into the
next millennium can be measured. |
