The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge about the effects of the Corona crisis on club sports, exercise, physical activity and supporter culture in Sweden. We want to both quantitatively and qualitatively map and analyze the ideas, reactions and actions of sports leaders, athletes, supporters and exercisers regarding sports and physical activity during the Corona crisis in the short and long term. In a subsequent project, the long-term effects of sports policy, the economy and the pandemic will also be studied at the macro level.
