正如2012年伦敦奥运会申办中提出的那样，青年遗产的概念建立在这样一种信念之上：参与(更多)体育运动对儿童和年轻人“有好处”。关于参加体育活动将获得的好处的范围，包括身体、社会和精神上的好处。例如，欧盟委员会(2007年)认为，体育参与可以带来社会包容、社会凝聚力和重新参与。因此，将遗产概念化的一种方式是以增强社会资本的形式为那些受到启发的人‘选择体育’。然而，对现有证据和社会资本理论的分析表明，为年轻人传递遗产可能比人们通常声称的要复杂得多。事实上，遗产这一术语本身似乎是不合适的，因为它包含了一代又一代人继承遗产的消极内涵。在分析作为遗留活动和进程基础的变革理论时，这一点得到了进一步的说明。因此，有人建议，如果要通过体育运动实现青年遗产的承诺，就有必要以奥林匹克遗产的名义开展计划和活动，使其建立在更明确的概念和实践基础上。
The concept of youth legacy, as presented in the London 2012 bid, rests on the belief that engagement in (more) sport is 'good' for children and young people. Claims are made about the range of benefits to be gained from sports participation, including physical, social and moral benefits. For example, the European Commission (2007) argues that sports participation can lead to social inclusion, social cohesion and re-engagement. One way to conceptualize legacy, therefore, is in the form of enhanced social capital for those who are inspired to 'choose sport'. Yet, analysis of existing evidence, and of social capital theory, suggests that delivering legacy for young people is likely to be far more complex than is often claimed. Indeed, the term legacy itself seems to be inappropriate because of its passive connotations of bequest from one generation to the next. This is illustrated further when the theory of change underpinning legacy activities and processes is analysed. It is suggested, therefore, that if youth legacy promises through sport are to be kept, there is a need to base programmes and activities staged in the name of Olympic legacy upon clearer conceptual and practical foundations.
