Health Promotion Interventions in Sports Clubs: Can We Talk About a Setting-Based Approach? A Systematic Mapping Review
2019
Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000s, a thorough understanding of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion (HP) is lacking. Despite calls for more effective, sustainable, and theoretically grounded interventions, previous literature reviews have identified no controlled studies assessing HP interventions in sports clubs. This systematic mapping review details how the settings-based approach is applied through HP interventions in sports clubs and highlights facilitators and barriers for sports clubs to become health-promoting settings.

Measuring Health Promotion in Sports Club Settings: A Modified Delphi Study
2019
Settings-based approaches have become an increasing health promotion focus since the World Health Organization’s 1986 Ottawa Charter. While schools, cities, and prisons have implemented this approach, its development within sports environments is recent. Sports are a popular leisure-time activity, requiring validated tools to measure health promotion activity. This study’s aim was to develop a measurement tool based on international consensus that measures perceptions of health promotion within sports clubs. It is grounded in the settings-based approach and builds on theory from previous works expanding their context and knowledge. An online, three-round international Delphi study was cond…
Health promoting sports federations : theoretical foundations and guidelines
2023
Background: Researchers and policy-makers have highlighted that the potential for organized sports to promote health has been underexploited. Sports clubs have limited capacity to promote health due to their voluntary nature and have called for support from their national sports federations. The present article provides guidelines, based on the theoretical principles of health promoting sports clubs and an analysis of practical tools and proven strategies, to support national sports federations to invest in health promotion (HP). Methods: A qualitative iterative study was undertaken, based on five 2-h meetings of a group of 15 international researchers in HP in sports clubs. Notes and minut…
Finland : Civic activities, growing participation, diversification, and professionalisation
2022
Football arrived in Finland with English seamen in the late nineteenth century. Although Finland engaged in international football as early as the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, football did not become a popular national game. The Football Association of Finland (FAF) emphasised that football should be developed according to amateur principles. Between the World Wars, football had to fight with the Finnish version of baseball (pesäpallo) for living space. Football has been a sport of the cities and urban areas and spread to the countryside slowly. Nevertheless, unlike in other sport domains with a split between non-socialist and workers’ sport movements until the 1990s, the FAF united the…

Koronakriisi haastaa seuratoimijat
2020
Globaali koronapandemia on pysäyttänyt urheilun. Kolmannen sektorin toiminnaksi jäsennetyt liikunta- ja urheiluseurat ovat 2000-luvulla ottaneet ripeitä ammattimaistumisen askeleita ja joutuneet koronakriisissä ongelmiin. Urheilujärjestöissä ja -seuroissa eletään sopeuttamistoimien aikaa. nonPeerReviewed

Urheiluseurat ammattimaistumisen ristiaallokossa
2022
Urheilun ammattimaistuminen on jatkunut Suomessakin jo vuosikymmeniä. Tutkittua tietoa on ollut saatavilla niukanlaisesti. Tätä tutkimusaukkoa paikkaa raportti, jonka aineisto koottiin vuodenvaihteessa 2020–2021 toteutetulla seurakyselyllä. Ammattimaistumista osoitti jo sekin, että kyselyyn vastanneissa 91 seurassa oli keskimäärin seitsemän päätoimista työntekijää. Enimmillään seurassa toimi 200 osa-aikaista työntekijää. Yli puolet seuroista oli saanut palkkaukseen ulkopuolista tukea, ja yleisin rahoituslähde oli oppisopimus- ja työllistämistuki. Osaavan työvoiman löytäminen osoittautui haastavaksi. Seuratyöntekijöiden lisäksi 60 prosenttia vastanneista seuroista maksoi palkkaa urheilijoill…
