Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox company The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), formerly known as the Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (IMSPA), is the professional body for the United Kingdom's sport and physical activity sector. Based at Loughborough University, it has partnerships with key sporting organisations across the United Kingdom. It is recognised and partnered with Sport England[1] and Sportscotland.[2] It awards chartered status ('Chartered Member' and 'Chartered Fellow') to qualified professionals.
CIMSPA's goals are to establish a new set of professional standards for the sport and physical activity sector, develop an endorsement programme for awarding organisations and training providers, and have the workforce be actively engaged in CIMSPA-accredited continuing professional development.[3]
CIMSPA was formed in 2012 when the IMSPA was awarded a royal charter.[4] Their predecessors are the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management (ISRM), Institute for Leisure and Amenity Management (ILAM) and later Institute for Sport, Parks, and Leisure (ISPAL).[5]

COVID-19 pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, CIMSPA launched a digital hub to support the sport and physical activity sector. The hub, located on the CIMSPA website, brought together information, advice and practical support for all those working in sport and physical activity who were impacted by the crisis and is freely available to anyone working in the sector.[14] Later in the pandemic, CIMSPA launched ReTrain to Retain which offered support for ~50,000 sport and physical activity professionals and volunteers who’ve had to find work outside the sector or had their hours reduced.[15]
Digital Marketing Hub
At the end of September 2021, CIMSPA partnered with tech giant Google and British fitness coach, TV presenter, social media personality and author Joe Wicks to launch the Digital Marketing Hub for sport and physical activity. Supported with National Lottery (United Kingdom) and Sport England funding, and powered by content from the Digital Marketing Institute, The CIMSPA Digital Marketing Hub was made to help people and organisations improve how they apply digital marketing tools and techniques, to encourage more people to play sport and be active.[16]
