Ebook: Sportsoziologie

Sport is a social field that succeeds again and again in an astonishing way in both actively setting a large number of people in motion and passively entertaining and inspiring them. This volume presents the scientific discipline that in modern society has specialised in sociological observation and description of sport. The following topics are discussed: pioneers of sports sociology, phases of development, influences and driving forces, basic principles of sociology, sports of society, research levels and theories, possibilities and limits of application as well as dangers.
Suitable as an introduction, but also for in-depth studies in sports sociology.
