Youth Sport
Youth is defined in this text as youngsters between 6 and 18 years old. Sport means all sport activities practiced outside the physical education curriculum. Consequently, school sport as extra‐curricular activity is also included
Experiences of children in martial arts
Contrasting images seem to appear regarding the effect of martial arts involvement in general and with regard to youth in particular. On the one hand, there are several reports referring to medical and moral concerns with a focus on assumed negative effects to personal and social well-being. On the other hand, there is a common belief that martial arts practice is associated with positive socio-psychological outcomes. To date, conclusive evidence…

Results revealed that althou…

It also considers the overlap between the expectations of the researc…
The Quality of School Physical Education in Flemish Secondary Schools
In this article the importance of a quality care system within school physical education is emphasized. Taking into account the fact that education is a critical part of human development and a government concern, striving towards an optimization of the quantity and quality requirements of education can be regarded as a necessity. This applies as much to the school physical education subject as to education generally. Based on the results of in-d…
Gay/Lesbian Sport Clubs and Events
Over the last two decades the founding of sport clubs and organization of sport events specifically for gays and lesbians has increased in the Netherlands and most other western countries. For many policy-makers the popularity of playing sport ‘apart’ seems to be in contradiction to current liberal legislation concerning homosexuality and gay and lesbian rights. Gay/lesbian sport clubs and events like the Gay Games, which took place in Amsterdam …
Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Youth Sport in Flanders and the Netherlands
Until recently, 'quantity' (of sport participation) has been the focal point of sport policy. In this paper, however, 'quality' as well as the 'quantity' of youth sport will be evaluated with Flanders and the Netherlands as a case study. The starting point for this evaluation are the strategic goals concerning youth sport stated in general mission statements and policy documents of central government. In both countries there are two main governme…
The Social Integrative Meaning of Sport
The diversity of sport participants in the Netherlands is beginning to reflect the diversity within the general population. Sport as a whole is becoming more accessible, and participation in sport of different social groups takes place within both mainstream and “separate” sports clubs and in differently organized sports groups. In our paper we critically analyze the broader social integrative functions ascribed to sport by policy makers. We atte…
The Role of Contextual Factors in Youth Participation in Organized Sport
The participation of youth in organized sport can be regarded as an established aspect of society. The present article reflects on organized youth sport in Flanders – a setting which can be regarded as typical of the western European context. The different sectors of the Flemish organizational youth sport network, in which sport can be regarded as an ‘aim’ or as a ‘means’, are described in terms of structural characteristics and participatory tre…
Youth and Organized Sport in Flanders
Schools and clubs in Flanders have tended to have a proactive policy toward organized sport for youth. Nevertheless, a review of organized sport in clubs and schools revealed that the needs of youth participants have not always been catered for. This article offers some suggestions regarding how to enhance the benefits that Flemish youth can derive from participating in organized sport
An Analysis of the Development of Wushu
Wushu, the collective phrase for the Chinese martial arts, is one of the most prominent traditional sports in China. Many other Asian martial arts (e.g. judo, karate) have originated from it. Apart from its wide variety of fighting techniques, wushu incorporates ancient Chinese philosophical concepts and religious elements. This paper analyses some of the prominent changes that have occurred in the form, content and functions of wushu throughout …
Implications of Islam on Muslim Girls' Sport Participation in Western Europe. Literature Review and Policy Recommendations for Sport Promotion
To date, limited attention has been paid to the relationship of young female Muslims in Western Europe and sport. However as the present review will reveal, this relationship can be described as problematic and therefore needs specific attention. On the one hand, research has indicated that most of these girls have a positive attitude towards sport. While on the other hand, their actual level of sport participation is very low in comparison to ot…
