Book synopsis

This handbook explores the various ways disability sport is governed and organised across Europe, as well as the extent to which and how persons with a disability participate in sport at a grass roots level. The authors identify various methods and challenges in collecting sport participation data with regard to persons with a disability. Based upon a solid theoretical framework and up-to-date data, the nineteen country-specific chapters in this handbook give a comparative overview of the structuring, steering and supporting elements of disability sport policy and sport participation levels amongst persons with a disability, as well as the extent to which countries adopt policies to promote inclusion in sport in this population. This handbook will be a valuable resource for academic study across a range of sport and disability related programs, as well as a point of reference for researchers and policymakers working in this area.
