Abstract

The title "Sports and Public Health Communication Strategies" highlights the intersection of sports and public health, emphasizing the importance of effective communication strategies in promoting health and well-being. This paper aims to explore the various communication approaches used in the field of sports to disseminate public health messages and encourage healthier lifestyles. It discusses the role of media, social media, and community engagement in reaching diverse audiences and influencing behavior change. The paper further examines the challenges faced by public health communicators in sports settings, such as addressing misinformation, combating inactivity, and promoting physical activity. Additionally, case studies and best practices are presented to showcase successful communication campaigns in sports-related public health initiatives. The findings suggest that a multi-faceted communication strategy, incorporating both traditional and digital channels, is crucial in effectively promoting public health messages within the sports domain.
