Samenvatting
This dissertation is the result of several years of in-depth study into different aspects of the sport participation behavior of European adults. Parts of this research have been presented at (inter)national conferences and/or have been published in (inter)national peer-reviewed journals. This dissertation consists of a collection of ten research papers.
Most of them focus on one or more of the following research questions:

- To what extent does the level of sport participation vary according to contextual indicators at the national level?
- To what extent are individual background characteristics associated with sport participation in the European Union?
- To what extent does the strength of the association between individual background characteristics and sport participation differ across European Union countries?
