| Description | Desk research method has been used for identifying the relevant policy documents on sport and physical activity in 14 Czech regions. Systematic content analysis of all documentshas been conducted.Categories suggested by Christiansen et al. (2014) were used for the content analysis of the policies. Thematic coding (Strauss a Corbin, 1998) and the Atlas .ti software have been utilized so to categorize, summarize and present the main output as the Network Views. The preliminary results of the study showed that sport strategies in Czech regions differ significantly in terms of general information, the formulation, content, implementation, evaluation, and clear allocation of resources. In general they contain aggregate goals that address physical activities and health on an overall level by recognizing the importance of Sport for All approach. Few also focus on various target groups specifying time frame and responsible body for implementation. However, in almost all strategies, there is a lack of measurable targets, specified budgets, and indicators that would enable the evaluation of the regional development in the physical activity, physical fitness and health. Cooperation with other sectors such as health and education is envisaged, but strategies lack identifying the areas where this could take place. |
