体育促进发展倡议在过去十年中以惊人的速度扩大。作为过去六年在非洲工作的研究人员，我们不仅要跟上当地工作的变化，而且要跟上围绕这一颇具争议性的发展领域正在发生的日益扩大和日益复杂的辩论，这对我们来说不仅是一项挑战。正如Levermore和Beacom(2009)所建议的那样，这一系列工作已经从对体育实现发展目标的潜力和可能的实现方式的相当描述性的概述，扩展到对体育实现其雄心勃勃的目标的能力的更严格的审查(Coalt，2007,2010)。随后的分析还审查了体育在更广泛的发展政治中的地位，特别是体育在维持或加强霸权全球权力关系方面的作用(Darnell，2007；Darnell和Hayhurst，2011；Hayhurst，2009)。这些文献为重新定位和批评体育促进发展运动提供了极好的基础。然而，我们认为，在阐述和审查体育促进发展倡议接受方的经验方面，仍然存在知识差距(Hayhurst，2009)。只有数量有限的研究(例如，Fokwang，2009；Guest，2009；Kay，2009；Lindsey和Gratton，2012；Okada and Young，2011；Schulenkorf，2010；Spaaij，2011)直接征求参与者和当地社区的意见，以检查政策在实践中如何发挥作用，即在那些体育倡议旨在受益的人的生活中发挥作用。
Sport-for-development initiatives have expanded in the last decade at a phenomenal rate. As researchers working in Africa over the last six years, it has not only been challenging for us to keep up with changes to work on the ground, but also the ever expanding and increasingly sophisticated debates that now occur regarding this somewhat contentious development area. As Levermore and Beacom (2009) suggest, this body of work has extended from a fairly descriptive outline of the potential of sport to achieve development goals and the possible ways it may do this, to a more critical examination of the capacity of sport to achieve the ambitious goals attributed to it (Coalter, 2007, 2010). Subsequent analyses have also reviewed the position of sport within broader development politics, particularly the role of sport in maintaining or increasing hegemonic global power relations (Darnell, 2007; Darnell and Hayhurst, 2011; Hayhurst, 2009). This body of literature has provided an excellent basis for repositioning and critiquing the sport-for-development movement. However, we argue that there continues to be a gap in knowledge that articulates and examines the experiences of those at the receiving end of sport-for-development initiatives (Hayhurst, 2009). Only a limited number of studies (e.g. Fokwang, 2009; Guest, 2009; Kay, 2009; Lindsey and Gratton, 2012; Okada and Young, 2011; Schulenkorf, 2010; Spaaij, 2011) have directly sought the views of participants and local communities to examine how policy plays out in practice, that is, in the lives of those where sport initiatives are intended to benefit.
