Sports clubs have a long and tradit

t they remain underdeveloped and
underutilized settings for health promotion. Leisure ti
me settings, in general, have been in minor role
among settings-based health promotion initiatives. Curre
nt health concerns in western countries, such
as sedentary lifestyles and obesity,
have aroused a need to expand he
alth promotion to include also
settings with greater potential to
reach and engage children and adoles
cents in more vigorous activity.
To develop these alternative, most often non-institutiona
l, settings to the level
of the established ones, it
is important to review what has been done, what ha
s been accepted, and what is known from research,
theory and practice to have contributed to hea
lth. Given that settings
approaches have been
implemented with diverse scope and without close
cooperation between different initiatives, the first
aim of this paper is, on the basis of a review of
commonly used theories
and practices, to propose a
mutual definition for the settings
approach to health promotion. The second is to examine the
applicability of the theoretical basi
s to youth sports club settings. Sports
clubs are used as a reflective
setting when reviewing
the traditional ones.
