This book explores the emerging concept of ‘slow sport’ – recreational movement practices that emphasize mindful engagement over competition. Targeted at philosophers of sport, wellness researchers, physical education specialists, and practitioners of mindful movement disciplines, this collection examines how intentional, non-competitive bodily practices cultivate deeper experiential connections with our environments. From yoga, meditation and martial arts to Saharan recreational activities, contributors analyze how slowing down physical practice creates space for enhanced well-being, environmental attunement, and phenomenological richness.
Ideal for academic readers interested in alternative approaches to physical culture, this book challenges conventional sport paradigms by highlighting how deliberate slowness transforms recreational movement into a philosophical practice – one that prioritizes qualitative experience over quantifiable results, fostering a more contemplative relationship between the human being and the environment.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.
