Abstract
- The book "Sport, performance and sustainability" edited by Daniel Svensson, Erik Backman, Susanna Hedenborg, and Sverker Sörlin, explores the compatibility of elite sports' dominant logics with environmental responsibilities. It delves into topics like environmental activism in sports, youth sports sustainability, and the environmental footprint of sports. The book uses Guttman's sportification model to analyze how modern sports' emphasis on competition impacts environmental sustainability. While lacking a clear definition of environmental sustainability, the book offers diverse perspectives on integrating sustainability into sports and physical education, making it a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners in the field.
