[Implementing regional “Sport, health and well-being” plans A process of continuous adjustments].

Introduction: The regional health agencies (ARS) and the regional Directorates for Youth, Sports and social cohesion (DRJSCS) must collaborate to define, together, the modalities for the implementation of the “Sport, Health and Wellness” plan. Then based on these modalities the actors “providers of physical and sporting activities, (APS)” acting as close to the population (local authorities and their groupings, schools, health, Medical-social, health-sector associations, sports, professionals, etc.) are invited to mobilize themselves to concretely deploy the aims of this plan.

Method: Based on a perspective of sociology of public action, the survey was built on an approach that helped to identify the different actors and their stance. 90 semi-directive interviews were conducted with the public and private actors involved in the implementation of this plan. This corpus was amended by a collection of sources targeted at the case studied and by a treatment of the literature in order to reinforce the results.

Results: Through the implementation of this plan, the central State promotes collaboration between public and private actors in different sectors. The plurality of interests at hand explains that the articulation of their ways of seeing and doing things remains a particularly complex operation.
