Abstract
This study examines administrative innovation in sports clubs as a contemporary management approach that contributes to enhancing community physical activity and supporting public health outcomes. In recent years, sports clubs have increasingly expanded beyond their traditional athletic functions to operate as community-based institutions that influence health-related behaviors through structured activity programs and accessible services. Within this evolving institutional role, administrative innovation has emerged as a strategic mechanism for improving organizational flexibility, service delivery, and responsiveness to community needs. The study adopts a descriptive–analytical conceptual approach aimed at developing an applied management framework that explains how innovative administrative practices within sports clubs can strengthen participation in organized physical activity and indirectly support preventive public health. The proposed framework focuses on key dimensions including flexible planning, digital administrative services, community-oriented communication, and participatory service design. The paper presents practical models, structured tables, and a conceptual framework illustrating how administrative innovation can be translated into measurable managerial actions that improve institutional effectiveness and increase accessibility to physical activity opportunities. It further explains how improved administrative systems contribute indirectly to preventive health by encouraging regular participation and reducing organizational barriers to access. The study concludes that administrative innovation represents an important managerial pathway through which sports clubs can strengthen their social role, improve service efficiency, and support broader public health objectives. Sports organizations are therefore encouraged to adopt contemporary administrative frameworks that integrate flexibility, digital responsiveness, and community-oriented planning as part of sustainable management practice.
