Study Notes

Advancing Youth Sport Scholarship

Youth sport research has significantly developed since 1978, contributing to athlete well-being and positive experiences.
Gaps in knowledge remain, impacting youth sport participants and programs.
The future of youth sport scholarship focuses on three promising areas: positive youth development, sport as a public health domain, and the implications of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Positive Youth Development (PYD)

PYD is an asset-based approach to youth development, emphasizing youth strengths and capacities for thriving.
It focuses on the positive aspects of youth development, rather than on deficit-reduction .
PYD in youth sport can be described as the development of trajectories of individual development, a philosophical orientation, or direct efforts in programming.

Sport as a Public Health Domain

Youth sport is integral in safeguarding public health and promoting healthy behaviors in young athletes.
Promising areas for research include physical activity promotion, injury surveillance, physical and mental health issues in youth athletes.

Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)

Emerging and anticipated technological advancements (e.g., biotechnology, artificial intelligence) will impact youth sport.
4IR could lead to innovative ways of promoting or hindering youth sport participation.
Ethical challenges also arise due to 4IR's effects on youth sport.
