WHAT
THE

BOOK
IS ALLABOUT?
his book is about Sport for All. In the last
three decades Sport for All movement has

been growing more from practical
approaches than from theoretical interpretations.
In reality it is still little-studied and poorly
understood in worldwide perspectives especiallybecause of the difficulties in understanding crosscultural experiences. The rationales of Sport for
health andAlltoday tend to be more related to theleisure aspects of people who are engaged in sportItalmost ignoring the real roots of the movement.
is time then that Sport for All change the old"ought-to-be" framework to the new be"framework. We then need tobuild a state-of-theart book which aims at providing:-A body of knowledge able to point out
adequate ways and means of developing Sport for
All in the upcoming 21" century.

Worldwide Trends in Sport for All-A central focus on comparative analysis to
illuminate connections built on the sharedconception of Sport for All in different cultures,
then procced by placing them into a larger andupdated scope of social needs and scientificknowledge.
-Status-trends of Sport for All by means ofunderstanding how it has developed and may
develop in the future, either in poor or in richcountries.

-Explanations of the building up andexpansion of Sport for All in different historicalContexts.

-Descriptions of the long-run evolution ofSport for All to deepen and to broaden themeanings of common highlights ofaccomplishments in different cultures.

-Concerns on local appropriateness andglobal significance of Sport for All.
-Distinctions of focuses on leisure, health,social development, Olympic education, education
for leisure, cultural legacy, environmental
protection etc. to map out diversions andconvergences.

TAFISA CALLS FORACTION
To all members of TAFISA

Aconding to decision taken by our now Board of
Dinvton during the 15th Tafisa World Congress (Penang
Malavsia). November 1997, the book "Worldwide Trends inSpot for All" will be granted with full support from our
Association in view of its aim of mapping the past and presentof Sport for All. to chart the trends for the 21" century.

Following this decision, UNESCO joined the book's

project to provide financial assistance. Future partnership with

IOC, WHO, ICSSPE, FIMS, WLRA, FISpT etc. are now

being discussed in order to improve the global reach of thisproject.

The Chief Editorof the book is Professor Dr. Lamartine
P. Da Costa who has the task of bringing together bothpractical experiences and scientific interpretations from thelast three decades of Sport for All worldwide. He will makedirect contacts with all members of TAFISA to ensure anadequate participation in the book'seditorial works.

The lack of answers for joining this project by any

TAFISA member shall have the meaning to the Editorial Staffof searching out authors in each country by other means.
Moreover, the participation in the book by authors andadvisers willbe considered as a non-commercial involvementin view of its free-of-cost in first-hand distribution.

Cordially.

Dear President Palm:

Following the Penang Congress of last November andour discussion at UNESCO Headquarters on 30 January

this year, I am pleased to confirm our priority interest in yourproject for compiling and publishing a state-of-the-art bookon Worldwide Trends in Sport for All.

Ithink there is a great need for such awork given both

the growing public awareness in developing as well as
industrializedcountries of the importance (for many reasons)of regular physical activity, and the variety of ingenious andinnovative new initiatives in this field emerging right aroundthe world and for the development of which TAFISA's
important role has UNESCO's support.

With regard to the book, I sincerely hope that UNESCO

will be able to provide financial assistance and remain atyour disposal to inform other potential partners/donors of
our interest in this project.
Yours sincerely,

Arthur Gillette

HOW TOPARTICIPATE
AS AN AUTHOR
The possibility of participating in thebook as author is now open
according to the following guidelines
established by the Editorial Staff:
As TAFISA -prior Trim & Fitness
Movement - isthe oldest Sport for All internationalorganization, having
today the largest number of member countries, thepriorityof defining authors is now offered to the affiliateorganizations of each country. For countries with many
affiliations, the oldest one will prevail to point out authors
and so successively in case of giving up this advantage
by any affiliate.

The deadline to communicate the participation in
the book by TAFISA affiliates is 30 November, 1998.
After this date, the Editorial Staff will search out andselect authors in each country according to (i) availabilityof applications for authorship, (i) academic, professionaland management backgrounds, (iii) connections
concerning local, national or international Sport for All
institutions (see attached form at the end of thisinformation).

The number of authors of each chapter related to
one country'sexperience in Sport for All isalso open to
local decision. However, it is suggested that TAFISA

affiliates join one national leading person with recognizedlong-standing involvement with Sport for Allto (a) one
scholar with experience in research and to (b) one young. 10.

Worldwide Trends in Sport for All

professional or leader often identified by creativeinterventions in the field of sports. These references arealso valid to the case of a particular country withapplications sent by non-affiliates of TAFISA.
Being the book a non-commercial enterprise in a

first-hand edition, applicants will be required to transfer

the copyright to TAFISA as a preliminary condition for
acceptance.

CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE BOOKLENGTHThe first part encompasses chapters
concerned with countries' reports, which represent
approximately 450 pages maximum in the book. Eachchapter here is referred to a maximum of 60 manuscript
pages or 15pages of the book.
The second part of the book includes thecomparative analysis from descriptions and data compiled
from the first part as well as, interpretations and trends

identified by experts. This last part comprises two or threechapters with 50pages of the book. Estimated total pagesof the book with introductory texts: 500-520 pages.
TARGET

The book is designed to meet the interests ofprofessionals, scholars, students, state authorities,
government policy-makers and practitioners devoted tosports when related to recreation, leisure and health, orfrom a broader perspective, to Sport for All.
TONE

Each chapter should be presented in a professional. 11.

and scientific manner. Being a resource for consultation.

mainly useful to institutions oriented to means of social

development, the book will not enhance peculiar issues or
personal standpoints. In all, authors and advisers arewelcome to join a collective work, targeted to collective
interest.
DISTRIBUTION

The book is initially planned to have a free-of-cost
distribution to institutions in order to be a reference

source, likewise comparative and prospective studies on

education and health.In addition to government,private
and grass roots institutional reception, leading personsof sport and physical education when health-related orleisure-oriented are the second priority for the distribution

scheme. In thisconcern, it isnoteworthy mentioning theexample of the book Sport for All", edited by Pekka
Oja and Risto Telama and published by Elsevier
Amsterdam in 1991. For its free-of-costs distribution,

the I. O. C. gave financial support and until today these

Proceedings of 1990World Congress on Sport for All(Tampere, Finland, 3-7 June) have remained as one of.

the main reference sources in its specialization.

MANUSCRIPTS

and should be prepared by one

proposing a framework for the

It should aim at
providingconsistency of presentation in
View of past and present
meanings of Sport for All in eachnational context.
Thus an initial format was designed and thencritically reviewed by recognized experts in the Sport for
All field to avoid poor and unacceptable
methods ofpresentation of the realities of different countries. Because
the contexts of the chapters are often dissimilar in any
collective work the first draft of this format was designed
insuch a way that authors will have to focus on coherence
and logic as they prepare their manuscripts. This

meaningful content was drawn from the existing literature
