The primary factors driving this lifestyle change and participation include social media influence, health awareness, overseas education, and government initiatives.

Collaboration between Saudi brands and international brands, as well as investment in localized campaigns and designs, can further accelerate the sector.

Every year, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, or SFIA, takes on a number of research projects designed to offer insight into the world of sports through the lens of participation, equipment sales and other metrics. But the Topline Participation Report is one of the longest-standing and most ambitious surveys the organization conducts. Each year, thousands of people are surveyed about which one of 124 different activities they participate in and how often. The end result is a wealth of data and trends that tracks which sports are gaining popularity and which are struggling. You may have heard the stat that pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States. That's true, and that stat comes from and is verified by this report, which shows the wildly popular sport up another 50 percent in participation in the past year. We'll go into why that remains the case, but the pickleball data only scratches the surface of this report. And in an Olympic year when many otherwise obscure sports get their highest visibility, you can expect some interesting things in the year ahead, which we'll go into as well. Another trend that's on the rise: team sports. More and more people are participating as a group and loving it. And we'll go into which team sports they are liking the most. All of this information is invaluable for those who are in the business of organizing and hosting sports events. And the best news of all — both for the industry and for humankind — is that overall, participation in sports events is up and inactivity is down, a trend that we can all get behind. So sit back and enjoy this conversation with SFIA President and CEO Tom Coveas we dive into the data to pick out all the trends you need to know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anzhela Fokina is the Chief Executive officer of the Kateryna Biloruska Foundation, a charitable organisation established in 2019 to promote Health and Wellbeing in Ukranian communities through Education and Sports Participation for everyone.   Anzhela has over 15 years experience in the Charitable and Social sector, having graduated from the Donetsk Institute of Economics and Humanities, with a Masters Degree in International Economics and Relations.  She previously worked for the agricultural giant Syngenta, running their Corporate Social Responsibility operation across almost 100 countries worldwide.  Anzhela co-ordinates the programme of activities for the KB Foundation, in spirts, education and mental health provision.  Her responsibilities also include developing and expanding partnerships with the non-profit sector and public organisations across Europe and in the Ukraine.  Anzhela on working with key partners: “Our owners and board members want to make a huge positive impact on society. If companies want to make a big impact on a community, they will do it. We don't have a big team, but we try to involve sports ambassadors using teachers. Also, we involve government because we can do things for 20, or 2,000 people. But the government cover the whole territory of the Ukraine and so we can multi-applicate our efforts and what we are doing, on a government level. When government and businesses co-operate with us, we can make good results in a short period of time.”  Anzhela on the challenges of working in the Ukraine currently: “It I really difficult, but now there are a lot of international projects working in Ukraine, but also our local operations too, because more and more people need support. Everyday it becomes more important because of the war and this conflict that we do things to help people with their health and mental health. That is more important than ever.”  Anzhela on the future ambitions of the Kateryna Biloruska Foundation: “We have now reached a very difficult task where we need to increase external funding through some donors and grants. We are facing a very difficult period of reconstructing Ukraine and that's why we need to increase assistance and at the end of the conflict, for at least 10 or 15 years, we will work with the consequences, which will primarily effect physical and mental health. It is a very big amount of people who would need this support.” 

>  Understanding the philosophical debates around paradigms of qualitative research and finding one's position is one of the most challenging tasks for PhD students and early career researchers. In this episode, Dr Gareth Wiltshire explains the debates and how he came to position his work in critical realism, as well as how that position can be used in conceptualizing and designing qualitative studies. Dr Gareth Wiltshire completed his PhD at Loughborough University in 2014 and has since held lectureships at Nottingham Trent University, Cardiff Metropolitan University and the University of Bath. He returned to Loughborough University as a lecturer in 2019 and contributes to the research themes of “Lifestyle for Health and Wellbeing” and “Sports Participation”. Gareth is a social scientist with broad interests related to the social determinants of health. His work is largely informed by concepts and theories derived from sociology but is proactive in engaging with researchers, practitioners and ideas across different disciplines such as medicine, education, psychology, philosophy, social marketing and behavioural science. He has specialist knowledge in qualitative research having utilised a range of ethnographic, interview and visual methods in the past. His main research interests fall into three areas: exercise and health for organ transplant recipients; the social determinants of physical activity and health inequalities; advanced and innovative methodologies. --- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | The New Gold Standard for Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Monitoring Learn more about Fibion: fibion.com/research --- Physical Activity Researcher Podcast has created a ‘Purchase Guide for Researchers: Accelerometer-based Activity Trackers'.

Lance does not like the new numbers for youth sport participation. He remembers some things that pushed his kids away. Rolly thinks that coaches need to modulate their approach to the younger groups. Randall thinks that the phone somewhat is replacing the kids' enthusiasm for activity. It also is replacing other parts of the growth of some kids. Kathy joins the podcast with invaluable insights on how a kid views hockey. And how a mom views hockey through their kids' eyes.

Reese has been the Executive Director of NFL Flag since October 2019, working closely with the NFL to expand the sport of flag football around the world.

Before entering the youth sports world, Reese played safety in the NFL for seven years. Reese describes how his experiences in youth sports and the NFL influence how he works as CEO at RCX Sports; partnering with the NFL on NFL Flag and the exposure the sport got from the Pro Bowl; new alignments with the National Hockey League and Major League Soccer; strategies on increasing participation of girls in youth sports; and a special moment coming for him in his hometown of Dothan, Alabama See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jason talked about a recent study that says fewer kids are becoming involved in youth sports, and how he thinks that travelling leagues and costs play a role in that drop.

For years, the Sports & Fitness industry Association has studied which sports people participate in and how often. Perhaps just as important, they also track the number of people who say they don't participate in anything at all. For professionals in the sports-event industry, there is a tremendous amount of interesting data in the SFIA's recently released Topline Participation Report, including which individual sports are trending well and which team sports are trending well. If you're the organizer or a host city of a sports tournament or event, knowing where the interest lies could be the key to a successful future. As you'll hear, there is no doubting the incredible growth that pickleball has seen not just in the past year but for the past several years. But pickleball is not alone. In fact, all racquet sports are on the upswing, including tennis, which has the largest participation of all. In this conversation between SportsTravel Executive Editor and Publisher Jason Gewirtz and SFIA President and CEO Tom Cove, we take a deep dive into the organization's latest report and talk about what sports and trends he's keeping an eye on next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The most interesting conversations can often be about the topics you find the most difficult to discuss or the hardest in which to wrap your head around. In this conversation, host Skip Perham of the Suffolk University Sawyer Business School Marketing Department talks with Dr. Brianna Newland from New York University about the issue of transgender athletes. Dr. Newland is the academic director of undergraduate programs and an associate professor at the Tisch Institute for Global Sport. Her research explores the long-term sustainability of sports participation. The subject of transgender athletes has exploded into her field of study and she helps us go beyond the political fault lines to understand what we know, what we don't know and what needs to be studied on the issue.

There is nothing quite as valuable to sports organizations and destinations that host their events than data. And one of the leading organizations that has been diving into data analysis for years is the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. The association, whose members include sporting goods and fitness brands, manufacturers, retailers and maerkters, has one of the deepest data pools in the country, annually surveying Americans 6 years old and up about their levels of participation in a list of sports that now tops 120 different activities. Every year, the association issues a Topline Report detailing which of those sports and activities are on the upswing and which are headed down. Toss in a worldwide pandemic that has fundamentally shifted the way everyone participates in the activities they love and you've got a data set that is ripe for analysis and contemplation for all who organize sports events at all levels. Tom Cove has been the assocaition's longtime president and CEO and his take on why some sports are doing better than others is always worth a listen. In this episode, we discuss with him those activities that are faring well and why, what impact the Olympics is having on sports that are part of the official program, what sports-event organizers should be thinking about when it comes to retaining athletes, and how age and income can determine not only your level of activity but the types of things you might go out and try. It's a fascingaitng conversation and one with considerable takeaways for anyone who has their hand in the sports events industry. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As far as my Motivational Speaking - I speak mainly to athletes, coaches, parents, and communities about the Benefits of Sports Participation.  I share a lot of my personal stories..How sports shaped me into a strong and confident woman, sports taught me how to communicate when I was scared to death to speak in a classroom, sports taught me how to fail and rise again - resilience. It taught me how to deal with a challenging coach/boss etc.   Sports goes far beyond the game itself…..   I also speak to a lot of school administrators about the life lessons we should be teaching our student athletes.  Why it’s crucial to have students involved in sports but also that not ever kid should get a trophy.  Through our sports participation we should be teaching life lessons….and teaching them how to lose is one of them.  Not creating opportunities where it’s easier for the student to “win.”

On today's podcast, I talk with Dr. Jean Cote from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.  We discuss how smaller cities are producing more professionals than large cities.  He offers his thoughts on why that might be occurring. We also discuss early specialization and sampling of sports.  Dr. Cote focuses on kids being able to make the decisions for themselves.  But then how does a kid decide to specialize if the kid has not experience alternatives? Dr. Cote shares his model of sport participation and transformational coaching. Dr. Cote website at Queens University includes access to a lot of his papers.  Dr. Cote has also worked with the NBA and USA Basketball on youth sports guidelines. Here is a link to more reading on Cote's Development Model for Sports Participation.  Dr. Cote email is jc46@queensu.ca His twitter handle is jeancote46.

Stalking In an exclusive interview for All in the Mind, a woman who was harassed and threatened over four years by a female member of staff, calls for employers to take stalking in the workplace seriously. This former high-flying executive, who ran an organisation with thousands of staff with a multi million pound budget, tells Claudia Hammond about the death threats, abusive mails and harrassment that amounted to "four years of hell". How Infants Know Minds Parents are always amazed by how much their babies seem to understand, but the traditional view of psychologists, studying child development, has been in conflict with this. Psychologists' "Theory of Mind", suggests that until a child is 2 or 3, it's impossible for them to understand certain things, because they don't have an idea of their own mind, and by extension, can't possibly have an idea of somebody else's. But Vasu Reddy, Professor of Developmental and Cultural Psychology at the University of Portsmouth, has, for twenty years, been challenging these assumptions, with research demonstrating that babies can tease, joke and even play with our expectations, long before they can speak. Sports Participation after Major Sporting Events This week the government launched their Games4Life campaign with the aim of inspiring the nation to get active during this year's summer of sport. But does watching big sporting events like the Olympics encourage people take part in more sport or even just to take a bit more exercise? Claudia talks to Ken Fox, Emeritus Professor of Exercise and Health Science at Bristol University, about the psychology behind what motivates us to exercise and whether one of the common assumptions about the legacy of the 2012 games of a sportier, healthier nation stands up to the evidence.
