Abstract

For exploring the question ‘What role does sport play in the health-orientated promotion of PA?’ the health system has been identified as being the most relevant system involved in the dissemination of communications regarding the promotion of PA. The analysis of health system’s organisational structure, based on Luhmann’s systems theory, identified the health ministries as issuing bodies of documents particularly relevant for investigating the social phenomenon at hand. In particular, 15 strategies for the health-related promotion of PA issued by the health ministries of France, Germany, and Italy have been chosen to analyse the attitude of the health system regarding the function of sport in this area.
