“…A conception of the mass media is provided by Hyuk-Lee et al (2009) [2] as sources of information about a recent event, which generate a growing interest. Furthermore, the transmitted message is developed according to criteria of topicality, objectivity and simplicity, which aim to produce a message with the widest reach possible [3,4]. In this sense, what is determined as “newsworthy” content in sport is therefore governed by these criteria.…”

The presence of sport in the media has grown exponentially over the last few decades. As a result, the influence of the media on the concept of physical activity within society and the collective and individual values it purports is indisputable. The mass media tends to follow a specific pattern when representing sport, this includes broadcasting of sport competitions and presentation of elite athletes as contemporary legends. A broad range of teaching and research opportunities are available in the field of media education. For this reason, we conducted a systematic review of international studies (Web of Science and Scopus) published between 2007 and 2018, focusing on the effects and influence of sports content on the audience. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement provided a framework for the analysis of included papers. The study incorporated an initial sample of 313 research articles that discussed the importance of emotional factors with regards to perceptual processes. Furthermore, links with various behavioral indicators were identified, such as competitiveness, violence, self-improvement linked to effort, stereotypes of beauty and health care.

“…On the contrary: it has been extended. In this sense, the consideration of sport as a mass phenomenon is undoubted (Moscoso-Sánchez, Fernández-Gavira & Pérez-Flores, 2018). In this context, we must not forget the interest of media companies in controlling this type of information content (Sherwood & Nicholson, 2017).…”

The media offer, on a daily basis, an idea of sport that influences citizenship's understanding of physical activity. In the case of photography, the visual narrative that appears in the press has a great aesthetic beauty and a show character, focusing mostly on the professional and competitive dimension. This research studies the winning photographs in the World Press Photo photojournalism contest, the most prestigious international photojournalism competition. In particular, the winning works of the 2017 edition were analysed from the perspective of content analysis, with a particular focus on formal and compositional aspects, including photographic technique, as well as the didactic values contained in these images. One of the most important conclusions of this research is the epic and elite-focused dimension of the activity in the most influential photos published in the press. The message of these images associates sport with the professional elite and not with everyday activity or healthy lifestyle habits.

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.
