Opplysninger | Drawing on the experiences of different groups of older people, this volume brings together contributions from sociology, social gerontology, sport science, physical cultural studies, health geography and psychology to ask critical questions about physical activity and sport in later life. Addressing key issues such as the cultural and discursive context in which physical activity is discussed; the process of becoming physically active; the role of care settings in enabling physical activity; pleasure; gender; and place and space, the collection invites readers to question their own assumptions about physical activity and sport in later life, as well as offering creative solutions to the issue of physical activity participation. Theoretically informed and based on up-to-date research, this volume will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of ageing and sport involved in learning and research in the life and social sciences.
