Research highlights physical, mental benefits of watching sport
Watching sport has a positive impact on physical and mental health, according to new research by independent consultancy Public First that was commissioned by UK pay-television broadcaster Sky.
Global Sustainable Sport Sport (GSS) has launched three exciting initiatives, building on the successful GSSport24 Summer Workshop Series and helping sports organisations and stakeholders on the next phase of their sustainability journey.
The GSS Network Alliance, GSS Education Programme and GSSport24 Winter Workshop Programme will accelerate momentum after the Summer Workshop Series engaged more than 350 participants from 61 nations.
In June and July, seven free-to-attend workshops attracted representatives from every sports industry sector, from global brands and international federations to grassroots organisations. More than 50 expert speakers shared their knowledge, and recordings of all 19 workshop sessions are available in the GSS website's GSSport24 section.
