Aims
This module focuses on the influence of political philosophy on sport and active leisure provision and consumption across the UK. Sport, physical activity and active recreation do not exist in a social vacuum, and like other social institutions are subject to political forces. These may support, repress, regulate, licence or promote various forms of leisure. The political parties which contribute to UK government strategies for sport and physical activity are based on systems of belief, or ideologies, which determine their differing approaches. This module explores the significance of these to sport and active leisure through an investigation of sport and physical activity policy. It also looks at the way in which sport and physical activity policy outcomes are implemented through national and local government.
