“…In the first case, an increase in PA/sport participation in Spain was observed following the development of sport facilities across the country but not during the Spanish elite sport era. 53 In the second case, a significant increase in PA following elite sport events organized in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) was observed after 2010. 44 Since 2010, the city of Rotterdam has asked elite sport event organizers to provide a detailed plan explaining how PA/sport practice in the general population will be targeted and has required that a minimum of 10% of the total amount requested from the municipality will be used to support the organization of promotional side events.…”

Background: Our study investigated the effect of elite sport on physical activity (PA) practice in the general population. Methods: Structured Boolean searches were conducted across 5 electronic databases (PubMed, JSTOR, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, and PsycInfo) from January 2000 to August 2021. Peer-reviewed studies in English were included if the effects of hosting elite sport events, elite sport success, and elite sport role modeling on PA/sport practice in the general population were measured. Results: We identified 12,563 articles and included 36 articles. Most studies investigated the effect of hosting elite sport events (n = 27), followed by elite sport success (n = 16) and elite sport role modeling (n = 3). Most studies did not observe a positive effect of hosting elite sport events, elite sport success, or elite sport role modeling on PA/sport practice in the general population. No evidence of a lagged effect of elite sport was observed. No evidence of elite sport effects was observed according to age range and geographical scale. Conclusion: There is no evidence supporting the effect of elite sport in increasing PA or sport participation in the general population. Decision makers and policymakers should be aware of this and invest in strategies such as those recommended by the World Health Organization.

Active participation in sport is a leisure-time physical activity. People are free to decide for themselves whether to practice sport and what type of sport to get involved in. Sport participation has been relatively stable over the past decades, despite ambitions of governments on a European, national and local level to raise sport participation levels (European Commission, 2018;Rowe, 2015;. Although people manage their own leisure time, we must recognise that governments do seek to influence individuals' leisure activities (Bramham et al., 1993). For instance, states across Europe stimulate sport as a worthwhile active pastime, as reflected in the Sport for All Charter of the Council of Europe (2001). Herein, EU member states present a common policy agenda on sport, in particular the active involvement in sport. Raising levels of sport participation, especially among disadvantaged groups that are less likely to take part in sport, is a specific sport policy objective (Hoekman et al., 2011). Furthermore, governments have long taken an active role in providing sport facilities, where these are not offered by commercial parties. As such, ensuring access to sport facilities is considered a central element of effective sport participation policy (Nicholson et al., 2011).Government policy to stimulate sport and ensuring access to sport facilities relies on a socio-ecological rationale (Bronfenbrenner, 1979) in which the broader environment influences individual behaviour. The socioecological rationale to understand individual behaviour could also be utilised to understand sport policy-making (Hoekman et al., 2019). Regarding the policy-making process, Bourdieu and Wacquant (1992) identified the field of sport as a configuration of positions comprising agents. Different stakeholders and environments play a role in the constitution of sport policy and sport practices. Policy is so to say a process with different actors and not a single decision isolated in time and context (Ham & Hill, 1993). To fully understand sport policy and its outcomes sport policy needs to be analysed within its broader, socio-cultural and socio-economic environment, similar to individual behaviour, and with an eye for the

“…Los resultados de su investigación (MOSCOSO-SÁNCHEZ et al, 2015) muestran que, a pesar de los éxitos y el triunfalismo de los medios nacionales con respecto a los deportes competitivos en España, gracias a las victorias de atletas famosos, clubes deportivos y la selección nacional de fútbol, la realidad de la práctica del deporte en España es muy diferente. La mayoría de la población no practica deporte, la mayoría de las instalaciones deportivas se construyeron antes de 1995 y, por último, la política deportiva, centrada en el deporte y el entretenimiento de alto rendimiento, es la causa de una brecha deportiva significativa (MOSCOSO-SÁNCHEZ et al, 2015). En otro orden de ideas, SIMÓN (2018) investigó el papel desempeñado por el fútbol como un medio para construir, configurar y fortalecer las identidades nacionales en España entre 1975 y 2017.…”

O futebol é um fenômeno sociocultural que chama a atenção de grande parte da população. O objetivo deste trabalho é fazer uma revisão da literatura científica dos últimos cinco anos que aborda o campo do futebol espanhol, selecionando para análise de conteúdo apenas artigos relacionados à participação de mulheres, crianças e aqueles que abordam variáveis psicossociais. Foi realizada uma revisão exaustiva na qual foram encontrados 212 documentos, reduzidos a 54 manuscritos que atendiam aos critérios previamente estabelecidos. Como conclusão, um pequeno número de publicações sobre mulheres e futebol é detectado. Os artigos sobre futebol e crianças incluem os benefícios dessa prática para o desenvolvimento fisiológico, físico e de saúde. Por fim, conclui-se que as variáveis psicossociais mais estudadas no futebol foram motivação, autoeficácia,
