A longitudinal analysis of organisational capacity determinants of the perceived need for change, adoption of ‘light’ sports initiatives and organisational growth in voluntary sports clubs
Considering wider societal developments that reflect a demand for personalised services, this study aims to uncover the relationship between the perceived need for change by voluntary sports clubs (VSCs), their adoption of innovative services to promote flexibility of sports participation (also referred to as ‘light’ sports initiatives) and their organisational growth (in terms of membership evolution). Simultaneously, the impact of key organisat…

Can we consider changes in sports participation as institutional change? A conceptual framework
The aim of this paper is to gain conceptual understanding of changes in leisure-time sports participation (LTSP) as an issue of institutional change. The study is elaborated in the LTSP research context of Flanders (Belgium) and Denmark. Data originate from the Flemish Household Study on Sports Participation (1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, 2009), Danish National Surveys on Sports Participation (1964, 1975, 1993, 1998, 2007, 2011) and the Flemish Partici…
Sports participation styles revisited
Social changes have been influencing determinants for sports participation since the introduction of the Sport for All ideology in the early 1970s. Consistent with Crum's sportisation theory, today's modes of sports practices, as well as the network of sport services, have diversified and de-traditionalised. As part of a research tradition, this contribution aims at analysing changes in sports participation styles in kinesiology students in Belgi…
The diffusion of world sports events between 1891 and 2010
This study addresses the geographical diffusion of modern sports mega-events (SMEs) over the past century from the perspective of globalisation. A representative sample of SMEs organised between 1891 and 2010 (n=927) was selected on five inclusion criteria. In order to process and visualise the global diffusion of the observed events, six macro-geographical regions were distinguished. A more detailed view on the global diffusion of SMEs over time…
