Aims
This module aims to evaluate the academic study of sport. It explores the significance of sport and physical activity in contemporary society and investigates how sport is part of the social and cultural world in which we live. It addresses the role of sport and investigates how issues in sport, reflect issues in wider society. It will enable you to recognise factors that influence choice and equality of opportunity in participation. The module will explore both contemporary and past issues within society and how government agendas can affect the way sport is perceived and delivered.
