Funded Activity Summary
The Well-Rounded Person: The Role of Sport in Shaping Physical, Emotional and Social Development. Young Australians who play sport have better physical health, higher levels of self-esteem and are less likely to be obese.Yet sports participation rates among young Australians remain low and there are growing concerns that participation in some sports is associated with antisocial off-field behaviours. This project investigates the real impact playing sport has on young Australians' physical, emotional and social development. It will identify barriers to participation in sport and suggest solutions to concerns about antisocial behaviours. Ultimately, this project will assist public and private sector organisations involved with sport to increase participation and tackle negative attitudes or behaviours associated with that participation.Funded Activity Details
