The Palgrave handbook of disability sport in Europe

policies, stuctures and participation

Lindert, C. van, Scheerder, J., & Brittain, I. (2023). The Palgrave handbook of disability sport in Europe: policies, stuctures and participation. Cham: Palgrave Macmillan.

This handbook explores the various ways in which disability sport is governed and organised across Europe, as well as examining the extent to which persons with a disability participate in sport at the grassroots level.

Based upon a solid theoretical framework and up-to-date data, the 19 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.

A multitude of authors also identify the various methods and challenges in collecting sport participation data with regard to persons with a disability.

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.
