The Introduction of the Special Issue
The issue will develop arguments concerning the overlap between art and sport. It is envisaged that should confluences be found sports science will thereby be enriched. Of course, there may be contrary arguments to the effect that art and sport are radically distinct. However, drawing from aesthetics and in particular, everyday aesthetics, it could be argued that sport as an aesthetic phenomenon bears similarities with art and perhaps even vice-versa. Such a link may even be useful so far as new coaching methods are concerned and enhancing the mental focus of the athlete. There are also extra-aesthetic overlaps that can be explored, namely the common institutional base of both such disciplines (art and sport) and their relationship to say politics, economics, history and philosophy – the terrain then is inter-disciplinary.
