ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the overlap between sport policy and physical activity policy and how they are both understood at international and national levels. The chapter presents an in depth examination of the UK context including how sport policy has changed over time and recently fully embraced the role of physical activity, in addition to traditional sport, to achieve a range of personal and social outcomes. It is suggested that this change within policy may present new opportunities, but also risks, for practice in the sport sector.
