Authors: Lars Johansson & Johan PetterssonTitle: ?There is way to much sports in the athletics? ?

Sweden's position in the UEFA rankings is a modest 23 rd place, behind nations such as Austria, Switzerland and Belarus. The economic climate in Sweden is often highlighted as a strong factor. When we started our study we agreed that this could be a major contributing factor to this relatively modest rank, but believed that there were also other factors that played a big role.

The purpose of the study is to illustrate the choices of sports profiled education amongst pupils in the upper secondary school.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva trender inom sport- och träningsturism, samt att undersöka nya potentiella segment för researrangörer som i sin tur kan leda till nya erbjudanden som researrangörerna kan utveckla. Vi har för att studera det aktuella ämnet utgått från ett teoretiskt problem och sedan bearbetat det med hjälp av en teoretisk referensram.Studien bygger på en kvantitativ innehållsanalys samt kvalitativa intervjuer. För att få en ökad förståelse inom området har vi studerat 30 stycken olika sport- och träningsresor från fem olika researrangörer. Samt intervjuat tre personer som är insatta i området.Vi har funnit att promenader, vandringar och Power Walks är något som är väldigt efterfrågat på sport- och träningsresor, det är också något som många tycker att sport- och träningsresor bör innehålla. Funktionell träning kommer alltmer hamna i centrum i framtiden, fokus kommer också ligga på individuell och personlig utveckling.

Commercial strategies are becoming more common in an increasing number of sports - Swedish golf is no exception. Previous research shows that new opportunities for non-profit organizations, to assign parts of their operations to a limited company, do not have any economic importance. The supplementary question arises why more golf clubs nonetheless choose to corporatize its activities? Is the purpose of commercial strategies generally linked to business- or sport-related success? This paper, containing two studies, aims to create an understanding of the underlying drivers of commercialization, and furthermore to quantitatively demonstrate how commercialization is reflected within Swedish golf in terms of strategy and marketing. Swedish golf clubs were categorized as more or less commercial, and examined based on business-related variables such as communications, brand awareness and price discrimination, as well as sports-related variables as success factors and success indicators.
