  • Chapter
Sport as a Business

Abstract

Sports activities, which have long been restricted to specific areas, are today leaving those equipped areas for new zones in town centres or deep in the country, where new activities are being developed. This phenomenon of ‘sportivization’ of society is the result of the joint effects of the increase of leisure time, the development of hygiene concerns and recreational activities and of the mediatization of physical and sporting activities. However, sports amenities and, more particularly, public facilities are slow to adapt to these evolutions.
