Environmental sustainability in sport management is emerging as a topic of concern. The current paper reports on a study that address the desirability and feasibility of repair solutions in the domain of sport equipment with a short lifespan. A badminton shuttle is taken as a case study. By means of video observations (n = 8), a survey among badminton players (n = 404) and an expert interview, the desirability issue was addressed. A research by design approach was used to gain insights in the feasibility of repairing feathered badminton shuttles taking into consideration three important elements: disassembly, reassembly and quality control. Feathered badminton shuttles do have an impact on the environment as they are on averaged bought and used at an amount of 133 shuttles per player per season and discarded in more than 97% of the cases after use. Users of shuttles are triggered by cost savings and by environmental consequences of repair, but still prefer recycling above repairing as a sustainable strategy. They have a slightly preference for a full service option for repairable shuttles, but consider possible alternatives to get access to repairable product as too abstract. The repair process of the feathered shuttle is technical feasible, convenient, time efficient and cost efficient and results in good quality products. Though, the research was conducted using a mix of methods and approached diverse topics of concern when considering repair of consumable sport equipment, researchers ask for further investigation as well to deepen insights in adoption processes of repairable products, to strengthen insights in design processes for repair as to conceive appropriate business models for this emerging product-service category.

体育管理中的环境可持续性正在成为一个令人关注的话题。当前的论文报告了一项研究，该研究解决了寿命较短的运动器材领域维修解决方案的可取性和可行性。以羽毛球穿梭机为例。通过视频观察 (n = 8)、对羽毛球运动员的调查 (n = 404) 和专家访谈，解决了合意性问题。通过设计方法研究，在考虑三个重要因素的情况下，深入了解修复羽绒羽毛球的可行性：拆卸、重新组装和质量控制。羽绒服确实对环境有影响，因为平均每个赛季每位球员购买和使用了 133 次羽毛球，并且在使用后超过 97% 的情况下被丢弃。穿梭巴士的用户受到成本节约和维修的环境后果的影响，但仍然更喜欢回收而不是维修作为可持续策略。他们略微偏爱可修复穿梭机的全面服务选项，但认为获得可修复产品的可能替代方案过于抽象。羽绒梭的修复工艺技术可行、方便、省时、省钱，产品质量好。尽管该研究是使用多种方法进行的，并在考虑维修消耗性运动器材时处理了不同的关注主题，但研究人员要求进一步调查并加深对可维修产品采用过程的见解，
