In many countries, policy and funding in these two fields are managed by separate agencies, and investment is often seen as a choice between the two.¿Elite Sport and Sport-for-All¿explores the points of connection and sources of tension between elite and mass participation sport. The book's multi-disciplinary and international line-up of contributors seeks to define, examine, and develop solutions to this problematic relationship.Drawing on research and case studies from around the world-with examples from Denmark, Canada, South Africa and Israel-the book explores key contemporary issues including:does effective talent identification require depth of participation?do elite performances inspire greater participation?the role of the Paralympic movement in mass participation and elite sport;and the economic aspects of their co-existence.The first study of its kind,¿Elite Sport and Sport-for-All¿addresses a central dichotomy in sport policy and, as such, is important reading for all students, researchers, policy-makers or administrators working in sport development and policy. Zusammenfassung Sport is often perceived as being divided into two separate domains: mass participation and elite. In many countries, policy and funding in these domains are managed by separate agencies, and investment is often seen as a choice between one or the other. Inhaltsverzeichnis Foreword 1.
