Research
Here, we cover all research related to sport and the natural environment: the recent, the relevant, the revolutionary.
Our goal is to synthesize sport ecology research in one place, so researchers and practitioners have access to the latest information.
If you would like more information about any of the studies included here, please contact our team!
For students: We will help you find the original work (full length texts). Get in touch.
For academics: if you've published something about - or related to - sport ecology and we've missed it, get in touch.
Note: The SEG does not own the intellectual rights nor copyright to the texts discussed herein. We share summaries of relevant research, and cite the original work, to make academic articles more accessible to people outside the academic community.
