E-Books →Routledge Handbook of Sport and COVID-19

Featuring authors, cases and examples from around the world, the book explores the impact of COVID-19 on sport at all levels, from community sport - where local clubs, gyms and development programmes had to find ways to survive with pitches closed and projects cancelled - to the major professional sport leagues and sport mega-events, with events postponed and teams playing in empty stadia.
