08.01.2022 What is Sport? Any definition of ‘sport’ can be contentious. In practical terms ‘sport’ has been operationally defined by its social interpretation as well as its strong association with physical exertion and performance measures. What we perceive as ‘sport’ in one instance may not be in another; sport takes on many forms and is constantly changing based upon societal norms, trends, and new directions. Equally important, if a physical activity is ‘not sport’, what is it? And what relationship does it have to sport?

03.01.2022 Engaging Parents in Sport Parents have a unique opportunity to help their children develop life-long engagement and enjoyment with sport and physical activity. The behaviour of adult figures (coaches, teachers, extended family, etc.), as well as peers and siblings, play an important role in influencing a child's behaviour. However, parents are the enduring role models that their children use as a basis for their own development. Parents who actively enable their child’s sport and physical activity can offer encouragement and support financial, practical and psychological. This plays a significant role initiating and sustaining a child’s sports participation and positive mindset towards maintaining physical fitness through life.

02.01.2022 Sport Participation in Australia Sport participation at all levels and abilities makes an important contribution to the amount of regular physical activity (PA) undertaken by Australians. There is now compelling evidence that increased levels of PA can bring wide-ranging health benefits for individuals and communities. These benefits can extend beyond physical health to include mental health and personal well-being. At a population level these benefits include reducing the co...st of the public health burden on governments and contributing to stronger and more cohesive communities.
