Sport et Vie

Sport et Vie is a French magazine devoted to the scientific study of sport, covering training, doping, physiology, psychology, and sports medicine. Founded in September 1990 by Gilles Goetghebuer and Denis Riché, it was originally published by Éditions Faton in Dijon. The magazine targets sports professionals—athletes, coaches, physical education teachers—and anyone interested in the scientific disciplines that explain or improve athletic performance. Its core topics include nutrition, dietetics, training methods, psychology, sports medicine, and the fight against doping, which has been a central editorial focus. Each issue dedicates its final pages to athletes convicted or suspected of doping and to news about anti-doping efforts. The magazine is published bimonthly, with 6 issues per year, each around 76 pages, priced at €9.00 in newsstands. In June 2026, Éditions Faton was liquidated, and the following month the Belgian publisher Éditions Sport et Santé was selected by the Dijon commercial court to take over the title. The editorial team itself acquired the magazine, ensuring editorial and advertising independence. A new website and subscription offers were launched. The magazine continues to decode sport from all angles: physiology, history, economics, and health. A previous publication with the same name existed from June 1956 to March 1964 (94 issues), later associated with Miroir des sports (issues 1101–1156 from 14 October 1965 to 2 November 1966).
