The exploration and comparison of the perspectives of separate sports adds to the paper's originality. It provides a benchmark of understanding for ES in the Summer Olympic Programme for the first time using a hierarchy of information to ground results. Originality: This paper is a new contribution to sport management and ES literature. This has resulted in uneven diffusion of environmental activities. There is limited accountability with regards to ES progress and activities throughout the Olympic Movement. There is a significant lack of understanding of environmental practices across sport, and their drivers/barriers. Only golf, surfing, football, sailing, and hockey have received any academic attention. Only 4 out of 32 have any sort of strategic ES plans. Results and findings: World Sailing is by far the most advanced IF in terms of ES progress, followed by World Athletics. This data was then analysed to empirically substantiate the findings of previous methods by exploring potential drivers of IF ES progress and communication and refining the ranking of IF ES progress. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to consolidate knowledge and benchmark the progress being made across the 32 International Federations (IFs) in the Summer Olympic Programme.ĭesign/methodology/approach: A website content analysis, analytical hierarchy of information, and social media research was conducted to triangulate the barriers and drivers of environmental sustainability (ES) progress. © 2018 Sport Management Association of Australia and New Zealand The experts also identified a number of intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and societal level factors impacting the design, delivery, and outcomes of sport for health programs which are rich in implications for sport managers and policy makers. Benefits were more likely to occur when the sport delivery approach moved from merely increasing participation to also affecting the sport for health settings. The findings indicated that the experts attributed a number of health benefits to sport programs including physical activity, diversion, stress reduction, coping, and building friendships. Data were collected using a Delphi approach with a group of experts from Germany and the Netherlands. The authors theoretically grounded the study in a social-ecological model, recognizing that the design, delivery, and outcomes of sport are set within constraints at multiple levels. The purpose of this study is to understand how sport managers can design and deliver sport to refugee populations in order to maximize beneficial health outcomes. Policy makers consider sport an effective way to address these issues, but researchers have not fully considered managerial considerations in designing and delivering sport to refugees. Millions of refugees from the Middle East and Africa have moved to mainland Europe in recent years, where they face boredom, physical and mental health issues, and lack of social relationships.
