Relevance to sport

In the humanities, social and behavioural sciences, studies of activities regarded as sports by society as well as participants are relevant. Studies of movement cultures that are usually not referred to as sports but are nevertheless included in the definition of sport given above are also applicable.

In addition, relevant studies should aim at problematising and developing sport activities concerning for example performance, accessibility, and diversity.

The starting point of the research must be physical activity of importance to health or physical performance or both. The research should address biological functions, and mechanisms and methods for promoting health and sporting performance.
