From Policy to Experience: Sport and Physical Activity

Nobody needs reminding that sport and physical activity are vital for our health and wellbeing.

At Ecorys, we have been running evaluations and research projects on sport and physical activity for many years.

Our new report by Diarmid-Campbell-Jack, James Sennett, Gillian Kelly and Samuel Greet, highlights our recent EU and UK market work on sport and physical activity.

The report includes seven interviews with key sport experts Ecorys have worked with on recent projects. Each interview uses our projects as a launching pad to examine the challenges facing the sport and physical activity sector and to show how evaluation and research can meet these challenges. The topics covered range from the political context behind sport and physical activity, the economic challenges for sport and physical activity due to COVID-19, to child safeguarding and fighting against anabolic steroids in sport, among others.
