- Handbook For Sport Clubs On The MovePublication . Simões, Paula; Amoroso, JoséThe benefits of physical activity for health have been widely acknowledged, namely by the World Health Organization (WHO) and by the European Union. In view of that, worldwide policies and initiatives for the promotion of physical activity have been launched from different sectors of society, namely from organizations whose core is on health, education, sports, youth, old age, or on social inclusion. Sports clubs are important players in this arena because, besides the physical activity, through socio-cultural processes, they encourage social interaction, reinforce a sense of place and community, and the range of physical and mental health benefits contribute significantly to well-being. There is evidence of better psychological and physical health outcomes in club-based (team) sports’ participants compared to the lonely ones. Moreover, especially in small communities, sport events are likely to be an important tool in promoting cultural exchange and social networks and to have a non-neglectable economic impact on the local economy due to tourism expenses. Hence, especially in the most remote rural areas, the work of small sports clubs is valuable from different perspectives.

Procede-se depois a uma abordagem exploratória ao caso português, com base em dados recolhidos através de um questionário dirigido a organizações (associações, cooperativas e empresas) diretamente ligadas às atividades florestais.
