To celebrate its 20th anniversary, JPAH published a special issue that considers the need for a paradigm shift in physical activity research. Physical activity’s broader role in health, society, and the environment must be reconsidered with a new emphasis on mission-oriented research that applies systems thinking, collaborates with diverse stakeholders, capitalizes on co-benefits, focuses on equity, invests in advocacy, and bridges the gaps between research and implementation/policies.

"Indigenous Youth (Non)Participation in Euro-Canadian Sport: Applying Theories of Refusal" by Jessica R. Nachman, Lyndsay M.C. Hayhurst, Audrey R. Giles, Rochelle Stewart-Withers, and Daniel A. Henhawk. "We would like to express our gratitude for this award. The foundation of this article was reading and building upon the works of Indigenous scholars (such as Audra Simpson) who speak to the ongoing struggle for Indigenous sovereignty in settler colonial states such as Canada and the United States. Such work, led by Indigenous scholars and activits, is crucial within our collective effort to refuse settler colonial knowledge reproduction within the field of sport sociology."
