    Leve idrottspedagogiken: En vänbok tillägnad Lars-Magnus Engström2005Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Vem ägnar sig åt idrott? Vilken betydelse har fritiden i barns och ungdomars liv? Vad innebär hälsa i skolämnet idrott och hälsa?

    Leve idrottspedagogiken! tillägnas Lars-Magnus Engström. Texterna i boken speglar delar av det idrottspedagogiska forskningsområdet i Sverige, vars framväxt Lars-Magnus Engström varit den främste företrädaren för. Läsaren får här ta del av exempelvis idrottskulturen, fritidskulturen och skolans ämne idrott och hälsa. Genomgående handlar texterna om villkoren för barns och ungdomars deltagane och om de olika lärprocesser som sker i anslutning till idrottsutövning.

    Lars-Magnus Engström har gjort betydande insatser som forskare och lärare samt som professor vid Lärarhögskolan i Stockholm och vid Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan. I snart fyrtion år har han arbetat med studier kring påverkans- och lärprocesser i idrott. Hans forskning har främst kretsat kring människors idrottsvanor och vilka som utvecklar en fysiskt aktiv livsstil. Idrotts- och motionsutövningar ger både ett så kallat egenvärde och investeringsvärde. Med dessa begrepp bland många andra har Lars-Magnus Engström bidragit till en fördjupad vetenskaplig förståelse av idrottskulturen.

    De flesta författarna har eller har haft Lars-Magnus Engström som handledare och tillhör forskningsgruppen för pedagogik, idrott och fritidskultur. Redaktörer för boken är Karin Redelius och Håkan Larsson.

    Board evaluation in the top Nordic football clubs2012In: Sport, Business and Management: An International Journal, ISSN 2042-678X, Vol. 2, no 3, p. 210-224Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study if and how the evaluation of the boards in the top Nordic male football clubs affects the boards’ composition and work.

    Design/methodology/approach: The study includes all the clubs in the two top divisions in each of the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). The study makes use of a questionnaire where 66 (out of 145) chairmen answer 17 questions concerning the board composition and work on a five-point Likert-scale.

    Findings: The responses were related to whether the board is annually evaluated or not. Descriptive statistics demonstrates that more than half of the clubs have an annual board evaluation. Most common is that the Chairman performs the evaluation himself/herself with help from designated board members; the evaluation being performed through informal discussions. A total of 44 clubs have a nominee committee. Almost all of the clubs transfer the result of the board evaluation to its nominee committee, most commonly verbally. Furthermore, results show that board evaluation has a significant positive effect on the following functions of football boards: review of business plan, strategy, objective and budget; discussion on short-term development; discussion on long-term development; and work efficiency.

    Originality/value: The results of this study are consistent with a similar study of listed Nordic companies. The main difference between the results of the two studies is that clubs, unlike publicly listed companies, almost always perform the evaluation through internal interviews rarely using external consultants and individual anonymous questionnaires.

    Aesthetic learning processes – feelings and sensations of skate- and snowboarding2008In: Designs for learning: Defining the field, 2008, p. 1-Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Skateboarding and snowboarding are practices loaded with symbolic expressions. They are also activities profoundly understood as physical. This paper will investigate the narrated impressions of these activities – in other words the expressions of impressions. Skateboarding and snowboarding are discussed as aesthetic learning processes, which to a large extent are both bodily and informal. The paper builds on ethnographic fieldwork and cultural analysis. Kirsten Drotner’s theory of aesthetic practices is used as a starting point. Aesthetic practices/production works on three levels: the individual, the social and the cultural. The individual level is characterised in terms of emotional intensity and corporality. The sensation is described as so encompassing that it becomes ones life, ones identity. The body is acutely present in these descriptions. It is the body that experiences, and it is there that the sensation of riding comes alive.

    Balancing the senses: Experiences of learning in indoor skateboarding2010In: Designs for learning: A new conceptualization of learning, 2010Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Indoor skate parks are purpose built environments for physical activity and bodies in motion. These settings are designed places of learning in both social and material respects. Skate parks in Sweden are usually large halls in buildings previously used for industries, now filled with wooden and sometimes concrete constructions. The solid and rough material consolidates the environment as hard and durable. Ceilings are most often high which influence the acoustics. The sound level is elevated from the noise of board riding on the wooden constructions, besides music from loud speakers adds to the aural experience. In spite of, or thanks to, the strident soundscape it is common by skateboarders to use a personal music device such as an mp3-player or the equivalent when skateboarding. The purpose of this paper is to discuss sensory and affective learning processes in relation to indoor skateboarding. In focus is the crossroads between senses, affect, place and learning. Empirical results are drawn from an ongoing ethnographic study on predominantly female skateboarding, embodied knowledge and board sport culture. The empirical material consists of field notes (in written, auditory and visual form), interviews and examples from media such as videos, magazines and internet pages. The aural sense and its capacity to include and exclude other sensory experiences, mainly balance, is examined and associated with affective incitement. Sharing and non-sharing spaces and experiences are discussed. The paper draws theoretically in large from the anthropological research on the senses in culture, and the psychology of affect. In addition the paper pays particular interest to the idea of “the risk of experience that is learning” (Ellsworth 2005).

    Dialogues of Dominance and Division: Skaters and Skater Girls Juxtaposing Gender2010In: Centers and Peripheries in Sport: Part 2.The Development of Women Sport:Separate but not Equal / [ed] Aage Radmann, 2010Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Skateboarding is known as a predominately male activity; however, there are female skateboarders and they are growing in number internationally. The purpose of this paper is to analyse how female gender and feminist issues appear and are negotiated by female skateboarders in ethnographically documented dialogues in a local setting. The dialogues are historically, socially and culturally contextualised invoking mediated discourses on female skateboarding. My assumption is that mediated discourses interact with local practice in an intricate way. This paper will hopefully shed some light on this interaction as well as works on femininity (and masculinity) in skateboarding and other board sports. In addition how female attendance is promoted. Theoretically, the paper draws on post structurally influenced cultural studies and theories of gender. The paper discusses practices of gender division and images of girls and women in board sports and their media from a feminist perspective. In this context, inviting pain as a girl has been interpreted as a way of challenging unappreciated forms of femininity. Accidents and falls are portrayed in niche media, both in print and television programmes, as evidence of courage and authenticity. However, there are alternatives to the aggressive femininity in recent media forms, such as blogs and personal web pages. But replacing one alternative of femininity with another raises new questions. The ambiguities of discourses put girls and women in a position where they are empowered subjects using their own micro-media, and, at the same time, tend to preserve ‘the separate-and-different-cultures model’ when it comes to gender.

    Från skateboard till e-sport2008In: Idrottsforum.org, ISSN 1652–7224, p. 4-Article, book review (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [sv]

    I samband med att idrottsforskningen i ökande utsträckning fokuserar sportens stjärnor har ett intresse växt fram för vad som händer med elitidrottare efter det att sportkarriären är över. Det är uppenbart att övergången från kändis till föredetting är plågsamt och svårhanterbart för många. Men internationell sport erbjuder också många exempel på framgångsrika civila karriärer. Tony Hawk är ett bra exempel. Hawk var världsstjärna inom skateboard på 1980- och 90-talen, och trots dess subkulturella karaktär var hans stjärnstatus enastående där sådant räknades. Hawk drog sig tillbaka 1999 som sann legendar, och två år senare kom hans självbiografi, Hawk: Occupation Skateboarder (HarperCollins, skriven med Sean Mortimer). I Åsa Bäckströms kunniga och intresseväckande recension följer vi Tony Hawk från tiden som tanig och mobbad skolgrabb, över tiden som skateboardkung, till efterkarriären som dataspelsutvecklare – bland annat – och under tiden tvåbarnsfar med två olika fruar och gift en tredje gång. Underhållande och lärorikt, tycker vår recensent, som också följer upp historien efter det att boken publicerades. Och visst är det lite speciellt, det där amerikanska, den klassiska framgångssagan med lyckligt slut.

    Good ethnography smells bad: On aesthetic experience in qualitative research2008In: Sveriges antropologförbunds årliga konferens (SANT): Visuell kultur, 2008Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Aesthetic learning processes are being notified in current Swedish pedagogical research. The philosophical term aesthetics is used in multiple modes, some of them borrowing an agenda from the studies of fine art, some more with inspiration from cultural studies and popular culture. In this emerging field both ethnography and every-day-aesthetics are in focus. Despite new ways of doing ethnography the results still tend to look (!) like traditional ethnography. Field-notes saturated with sensuous and stinking data; e.g. moist socks, sweaty t-shirts and car fumes, still tend to depend upon written texts and photography as scientific proof. Moreover ethnography is still judged against a positivistic framework drawing from natural science. Is a change required? And in that case, can the future of visual anthropology challenge this hegemonic scientific paradigm?

    Idrottsliga inkräktare: Recension av Bolin & Granskog (2003) Athletic intruders:  ethnographic research on women, culture, and exercise2011In: idrottsforum.org, ISSN 1652-7224Article, book review (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    En djupdykning i SUNY-förlagets backlist har ådagalagt tre angelägna titlar som inte tidigare kommit med i forumets recensionsverksamhet men som trots att de fått några år på nacken av tjänstgörande recensionsredaktör bedömts som angelägna att lyfta fram. I november 2010 recenserade Ingela Kolfjord Mike Messners Out of Play, (2007), och Pirkko Markulas antologi Feminist Sport Studies från 2005 recenseras av Helena Tolvhed på annan plats i denna uppdatering. Äldst av de tre var antologin Athletic Intruders: Ethnographic Research on Women, Culture, and Exercise från 2003, med Anne Bolin och Jane Granskog som redaktörer (State University of New York Press). Vi applåderar SUNY Press för en föredömlig lagerhållningsstrategi (möjlig tack vare print on demand-tekniken), och gläds åt att vi hittade totalt rätt i val av recensent, nämligen Åsa Bäckström, som just då var redo att läsa just denna bok. I en föredömligt välskriven, initierad och intresseväckande recension ser hon bortom de lite ålderstigna referenserna och diskuterar metod, empiri och, inte minst, feminismens historia.

    Lekar för nytta och nöje: Recension av Hanran, Stephanie J. & Teresa B. Carlson, 2006, Game Skills: A Fun Approach to Learning Sport Skills.2007In: Idrottsforum, ISSN 1652-7224Article, book review (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Åsa Bäckström är noga med att påpeka att hon inte är den bäst lämpade recensenten för den bok tjänstgörande redaktör valde att skicka henne, nämligen Game Skills: A Fun Approach to Learning Sport Skills av Stephanie J. Hanrahan och Teresa B. Carlson (Human Kinetics). Hon är inte idrottslärare och inte idrottsledare. Och boken avser att vara en inspirationskälla för just lärare och ledare inom idrott och fysisk aktivitet, en idébank för att hålla elever och studenter sysselsatta med lekar och spel och samtidigt ha roligt. Vår recensents specialkompetens, skriver hon, lämpar sig bättre för att göra en kulturanalys av boken. Och just en tilltalande kulturanalytisk ton är det som präglar hennes fylliga, problematiserande och intresseväckande recension. Game Skills presenterar dryga hundratalet ”lekar” för deltagare i varierande åldrar, med detaljerade instruktioner, lättfattligt, och med glimten i ögat. Boken lämpar sig väl, menar Bäckström, för blivande idrottslärare eftersom den också erbjuder en nyttig lektion i engelska. Men hon skulle nog först se vad den svenska litteraturen på området kan erbjuda innan hon själv tog in den i undervisningen.

    Sinnlig, skamlös och stolt - om kvinnlig svensk skateboardåkning.2009In: Kultur~Natur: Konferens för kulturstudier i Sverige 2009, Linköping: ACSIS, Linköpings universitet , 2009, p. 91-Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Det har skett ett antal vändningar inom samhällsvetenskaplig forskning på senare tid. En sådan vändning har beskrivits som kroppslig, och som en konsekvens därav kan vi enligt somliga idag också tala om en sinnlig revolution. Skateboardåkning är en synnerligen fysisk aktivitet där kroppens sinnen används i hög grad. Ljudet av hjulen mot underlaget indikerar till exempel materialets beskaffenhet och brädans fart för utövaren. I den här presentationen diskuteras (kvinno-)kroppens upplevelse av skateboardåkning. I kroppen omsätts omgivningens arkitektur till sinnlig upplevelse och affekt. Där möts den fysiologiska känslan och den sociokulturella. Kroppar uttrycker och gör. De lyckas och misslyckas. De strålar av lycka och böjer sig i skam. Teoretisk inspiration hämtas från Tomkins bland andra.

    Skateboard girls: On power, senses and affective embodiment.2009In: ESA 2009.: European Society or European Societies?, 2009Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    As one of the many claimed turns in social sciences lately, we experience (sic!) a corporeal one and as consequence we now know of a sensual revolution. Within that framework this paper discusses female skateboarding and its sensuous appearance. Female skateboarders in Sweden are using their bodies to negotiate power. In so doing their performing bodies are sensing subjects but also sensational objects. Bodies are where senses and affect meet with cultural and social assumptions. Bodies express and perform, bodies fail and succeed, bodies beam in pride and are put in place. Theoretical inspiration comes from various areas such as girlhood studies, the anthropological research on the senses in culture, and the psychology of affect.

    Style in physical activity2008In: Bonds and Communities. Young people and their social ties.: The 10th Nordic Youth Research Information Symposium, 2008, p. 58-Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Aesthetic expressions in youth culture have been studied extensively. For the British CCCS and its followers the concept of style is regularly used to explain dress codes, hair fashion and other physical appearances. Sub culture is an often-used term, which enclose these types of expressions, in addition frequently connected to certain kinds music. Lately a growing number of studies on sub culture and sport have been presented. This implies an interest in a slightly different aspect of style – the one focusing more on style in physical activity. The leaderless boarding culture revolves primarily around style and physical bodily activity, in contrast to punk for example, which is held together by style and music. Thus it can be argued that identity through board sports is more clearly incorporated through physical performance. This presentation attempts to fill some of the gap in research around style in physical activity. It focuses bodily aesthetic expressions in skateboarding and the concept of style in relation to the moving body. Style in both senses mentioned above, communicates and creates both bonds and communities. Building on empirical studies on skateboarding in Sweden between 1978-2002, it is argued that also style in physical activity is significant for the construction of cultural and social values. Moreover style in this sense has a highly performative aspect.

    Några lärares tankar om utomhuspedagogik2008Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    I den här uppsatsen är syftet att ta reda på hur några lärare tänker om utomhuspedagogik. Vilka möjligheter och/eller svårigheter de ser med utomhuspedagogik, samt om utomhuspedagogiken kan främja daglig fysisk aktivitet. Vi har i en kvalitativ studie utgått från intervjuer med fyra lärare på fyra olika skolor. Två av skolorna är belägna i Stockholms ytterstad och två är belägna i Stockholms innerstad. Urvalet har vi gjort med hjälp av den så kallade närhetsprincipen. Vi har haft som avsikt att få informanter från skolor med olika utomhusmiljö och därmed olika förutsättningar för att bedriva utomhuspedagogik i sin närmiljö. Vi vill påpeka att studien präglas av en positiv attityd till utomhuspedagogik och i och med detta kan resultaten ha vinklats till att omfatta de möjligheter som finns i större omfattning än svårigheterna. Vi kan med det begränsade urval vi har inte dra några generella slutsatser från resultaten. Vad vi sett utifrån de samtal vi haft att de här lärarna är positivt inställda till utomhuspedagogik och dess främjande för den fysiska aktiviteten. De anser också att i princip all undervisning går att ta ut. Bara intresset finns hos en själv. De svårigheter som kan uppstå är att barnen inte har kläder som är anpassade, att det är dåligt väder, att det är ont om personal eller att tiden inte räcker till.

    Motorisk screening av barn i förskoleklass: En intervjustudie om pedagogers upplevelser och uppfattningar2009Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Sedan en tid tillbaka har en kommun i Stockholmsområdet infört motorisk screening för samtliga barn i förskoleklass. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka tio pedagogers uppfattningar och upplevelser av denna screening. Utifrån ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv genomfördes kvalitativa intervjuer som sedan analyserades. Resultatet visar att pedagoger upplever motorisk screening som meningsfull samt att de ser ett starkt samband mellan barns motoriska färdigheter och deras skolprestationer. Det framkommer även tydligt att pedagogerna i föreliggande studie delar kommunens strävan att det är betydelsefullt att tidigt upptäcka barn med motoriska svårigheter och erbjuda dem rätt stöd och åtgärder. Däremot visar resultatet att vissa pedagoger ser den motoriska screeningen som ett pedagogiskt hjälpmedel, medan andra pedagoger uppfattar screeningen som ett konkurrensmedel.

    Strategic sponsoring in professional sport: a review and conceptualization2015In: European Sport Management Quarterly, ISSN 1618-4742, E-ISSN 1746-031X, Vol. 15, no 3, p. 271-300Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Research question: While the literature on sponsorship of sport has gained interest among scholars in diverse fields such as management, marketing, and psychology in recent years, scant attention has been paid to the extent in which sponsoring may serve as a strategic lever that is mutually beneficial for sponsors and sponsees. We, therefore, ask: What constitutes strategic sponsoring in professional sport? Research methods: In addressing our research question, we selectively review the literature on sport sponsoring, link it to the basic tenets of the resource-based view, and conceptualize this literature into a framework for strategic sponsoring in professional sport. Results and findings: In developing our framework, we consider the concept of regime as the key defining working principle of strategic sponsorship activities. We then elicit six different regimes: the cause regime, loyalty regime, appropriability regime, value-differential regime, heuristics-based regime, and associational regime. Each one of these regime types is further related to the six sponsorship activities identified in our literature review. Implications: In proposing how various regimes serve as generative mechanisms for altering the resource and knowledge-bases of sponsors and sponsees, we provide a conceptually rigorous framework of strategic sponsoring that expands the limits of extant views of sport sponsorship. Hence, our multilevel framework advances sponsorship theory through a more rigorous framing, and it provides practitioners clues for rethinking their sponsorship programs.

    Good sport environments: A study of collective fundamental values and their importance for activity principles in Swedish club sport2012In: Swedish Journal of Sport Research, ISSN 2001-6018, Vol. 1, p. 1-28Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study answers the call made by the Swedish government, the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF) and Swedish local authorities for research on success factors in Swedish club sport. By using RF ́s success concept and sport scholars critique in reverse as points of departure for our study we selected two “successful” sports clubs for a study of the constitution of good sport environments. Our theoretical starting point was that an organisation’s collective fundamental values contribute to shaping both its goals and its practice – and in extension to its potential to constitute a good sport environment. The results, which are based on eight qualitative interviews with key individuals, show how the clubs work with society-related dilemmas and sport-specific problems. By analysing elements in the club environments which have promoted this work we have been able to get an insight into the values on which these environments rest and their importance for building good sport environments.

    The process of burnout: A multiple case study of three elite endurance athletes2007In: International Journal of Sport Psychology, ISSN 0047-0767, Vol. 38, no 4, p. 388-416Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the process of burning out in endurance athletes. The experiences of three elite cross-country skiers who left Their sport due to burnout were explored. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and inductively analyzed. The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire and training logs were used to validate the interviews and to enrich the analysis. The burnout process was found to evolve with different severity and time perspectives in the three cases. Athletic identity and achievement strivings to validate self-esteem were found to be important driving forces in the burnout process. Also, chronic lack of mental and physical recovery as well as early skiing success leading to high expectations comprised common themes in the burnout process.

    Boxningssporten i Sverige: en studie i idrottens kulturmiljö1982Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The object of this study is to review the sport of boxing as a social and cultural phenomenon, to place Swedish boxing and its development in an ideo-historical context, to examine the significance of boxing for its exponents, to compare boxing with other sport, and to attempt to characterize the specific boxing culture. In a broader sense an attempt is made at a general characterization of the cultural environment of sport in ethnological terms.

    The chief sources of the thesis are the records of the Swedish Boxing Association and forty tape-recorded interviews with boxers. Press material, parliamentary papers and systematic personal observation have also been used.

    The thesis adopts as its point of departure the, by international standards, unusually intense debate on boxing in Sweden, which led to a prohibition of professional boxing in 1969. The arguments in this debate are thoroughly examined. A survey is then presented of the international history of boxing and of its arrival and establishment in Sweden. A detailed review is made of the varying popularity of boxing in Sweden from 1919 to 1980. The fluctuations of popularity are explained by different factors: American cultural currents, the significance of idols, unemployment, war, pacifist ideas, and changing ambitions and problems in the Swedish society.

    The thesis goes on later to discuss the cultural environment of boxing. An examination is made of club, organization, the boxers’ backgrounds, goals and careers, and the importance of sport in their life-cycle. Cultural and socio-psychological explanations are given of the special anchorage of boxing among working class youth and immigrants.

    With reference to Erving Goffman, boxing is seen as a sport with a moral message to the public. Competitive boxing acclaims and confirms certain generally appreciated norms: courage, gameness, integrity and composure.

    Comparisons between boxing and other sport lead to a recognition of many similarities. Despite certain specific features boxing is seen as a part of the sporting culture. The thesis concludes with an attempt at a characteristic of the cultural environment of sport in a broad sense. It is characterized by an emphasis on physical culture, a rigid international system of rules, an official and an unofficial code system, a culturally specific equipment, a cyclical conception of time, a strong bias towards ranking, and an intense emotional engagement.

    Unpacking competition: On the possibilities of a minor sport2014In: Emotion, Space and Society, ISSN 1755-4586, E-ISSN 1878-0040, Vol. 12, p. 4-10Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this article, I conceptualize defensive playing in table tennis by analyzing it from the viewpoint of affective philosophy (Deleuze and Guattari, 1986, 1987). The spatial and emotional aspects of the atmosphere of such play are investigated through an autoethnography of company table tennis. By using my ownbody as an instrument of research (Longhurst et al., 2008), I practically evoke and feed on the tension between modern competitive sport and sport for all (Eichberg, 2010). It is suggested that the defensive stance in table tennis might be seen as a trajectory toward a minor sport (Deleuze and Guattari, 1986, 1987), i.e. as a mild resistance to the competitive ethos of sport.

    Abstract [en]

    In contemporary society, visual information is influential, not least when businesses are communicating with potential customers. It represents and influences how people understand phenomena. In sports, much attention is directed toward how media represent elite sports and sport stars. Less attention is directed toward children’s sports. The aim of this article is to explore and analyze visual representations of children on sport businesses’ websites. The sample contained 697 images of sporting children, on which an interpretative content and discourse analysis was conducted. The study shows that the ideal customer emerging on these sites is a White, physically active, able, and slim boy or girl. Consumer culture seems to reproduce and preserve existing normative frameworks rather than producing alternative norms and ideas in children’s sport. Moreover, dilemmatic images of children both as competent and as innocent develop, displaying a childhood that should be both joyful and active but also safeguarded.

    Abstract [en]

    This article examines how commercial sport entrepreneurs position themselves and their businesses in relation to Swedish voluntary youth clubsport. The study investigates the various positions that entrepreneurs takein relation to youth sport and the discourses surrounding it from the perspective of entrepreneurs. In the results, three different positions are highlighted: 1) The regular, passionate child and youth sport enthusiast; 2) theentrepreneurs as complementary actors in relation to organized sports;and 3) the position of entrepreneurs in relation to the surrounding society.In conclusion, the entrepreneurs do not position themselves as a threatto the Swedish sport movement. But at the same time, they assert, in diverse ways, that their business surpasses those of sport clubs in terms ofproviding sport for children and youth. Furthermore, they appear to position their services towards selected families over others, operating withina framework in which child and youth sports are increasingly treated as acommodifiable entity in contemporary society

    Searching for Talent: The Construction of Legitimate Selection in Sports2015In: Scandinavian Sport Studies Forum, E-ISSN 2000-088X, Vol. 6, p. 85-105Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article analyzes talent selection within Swedish Sports. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which this process of legitimacy is produced in the case of children and adolescents. The article involves a discourse analytical approach where organizational policy documents, annuals for operation, educational coach literature constitute the corpus of data. The aim is to document how problems of legitimizing talent selection are handled within the organization through the use of different discursive repertoires. The purpose is to deconstruct explicit statements and underlying suppositions through with the current process of selection is legitimized.

    The research material allows us access into how the process for talent selection constitutes a significant part of a discursive apparatus of selection. In order to make the process of selection appear neutral, discursive work is played out in order to make the process appear fair and unbiased. Furthermore, this article shows how the production of the legitimate selection works in two directions, both individually and politically. The process of selection is being rhetorically displayed as legitimate to those within the system, as well as a Swedish egalitarian welfare politic at large.

    Abstract [sv]

    "Det behövs fler män i förskolan och skolan", är en vanlig uppfattning. I den här antologin diskuterar framstående forskare och praktiker bl.a. vad som ligger bakom ett sådant uttalande: Varför behövs det fler män? Vad är det männen förväntas tillföra denna antaget kvinnliga värld och vad är det de inte alls förväntas ägna sig åt?

    Hur är det med pojkarna då? Medierna rapporterar om att pojkar presterar sämre än flickor i skolan. Pojkar upplevs som oroligare och mer krävande än flickor, de beskrivs både i förskola och skola som "busiga" och "omogna". Sexistiska tillmälen, provokationer och våldshandlingar från pojkar sägs utgöra ett stort problem. Samtidigt finns en viss oro i debatten för att pojkar och det manliga skall marginaliseras genom övervikten av kvinnlig personal.

    Trots den livliga diskussionen har det hittills saknats svensk litteratur som mer specifikt behandlar maskulinitetsskapandet i förskola och skola.

    Queering physical education: Between benevolence towards girls and a tribute to masculinity2009In: Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, ISSN 1740-8989, Vol. 14, no 1, p. 1-17Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Research on PE indicates that the subject is marked by rather stable gendered patterns of behaviour and perceptions of the subject. This paper marks an attempt to outline a theoretical approach that makes it possible to interpret what is going on in the gym in a way that might challenge the reproduction of gender.

    Purpose: to scrutinise the heteronormative character of the discourses and practices that, from the point of view of PE teaching, constitute gendered positions and subjectivities in PE and make them susceptible to change.

    Participants, Setting and Research Design: Four schools in Stockholm, Sweden, each with different social-economic and ethnic composition, were selected for the study. In each school, six lessons in physical education were observed, and the five teachers of each class were interviewed. The observed lessons comprised different kinds of physical activities, ranging from dance to fitness training, and from cross-country running to ball games, allowing different ways of gender and body constructions to appear.

    Data Collection: The observations focused on a) what physical activities and methods are selected, and b) what the teachers say to the pupils during the lessons (information, instructions, replies on questions etc.). The interviews revolved around a) the teachers themselves and their work; b) what the teachers see as the aim with the subject; c) the teachers’ view on gender and d) the teachers’ view on issues concerning the body and physical activity.

    Data Analysis: First, a content analysis was carried out, focusing on the teachers’ reflections on action (interviews), and on the teachers’ work in action (observations). Based on this analysis, a discourse analysis was conducted, attempting to reconstruct the discourses that constituted on the one hand the teachers view on the subject, and on girls and boys in the subject, and on the other the observed lessons and the way gender was performed in the gym. The discourse analysis took insights from feminist post-structuralism and queer theory as its starting point.

    Findings: The observed teaching was underpinned by essentialist and functionalist assumptions, exposed through a pragmatic approach to teaching. The teachers were aware of the dominance of (some of the) boys in the gym, but this dominance seemed to be regarded as something normal or natural, and something to be managed logistically rather than challenged. It seemed equally important for the PE teachers to manage the pupils in such a way that physical activity for the majority was promoted. In doing so, they leaned on traditional ideas about gender in relation to sport and physical activity, and avoided challenging gender stereotypes. These strategies, which we label benevolence towards girls and a tribute to masculinity, are successful insofar as the pupils adhere to the same traditional ideas and do not resist gender stereotypes that are called upon by the teachers.

    Conclusions: The strategies of benevolence towards girls and making a tribute to masculinity among boys is, as we see it, different ways of reproducing ideas about the sexes as naturally different and attracted to each other. Based on our studies, it seems as if it is the queer pupils, however not necessarily the non-heterosexual pupils, that are positioned ‘at the margins’ in the gym. Any real attempt to challenge gender stereotypes in PE would then also be an attempt to challenge heteronormativity in the gym

    Swedish physical education research questioned: Current situation and future directions2008In: Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, ISSN 1740-8989, E-ISSN 1742-5786, Vol. 13, no 4, p. 381-398Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Research on the school subject of physical education and health in Sweden has proliferated in the early part of the 21st century. Several large research programmes have been conducted that shed light on the history of physical education and health in this country and that provide a research-based description of the current situation in the subject, particularly with regard to teachers' and pupils' view of the subject and which activities dominate the lessons.

    Purpose: to review the main results of two of these research programmes, highlight some of the practical challenges facing people working with the development of physical education and health as identified by the research, and point to some of the research challenges arising from how the reviewed research was actually conducted.

    Findings: The reviewed research reveals an uncertainty about the subject’s educational purpose. Teachers maintain that the main purpose of physical activity is to 'have fun' and the majority of pupils report a positive attitude towards the subject. However, those favouring the subject, mostly boys, are also members of a sports club in their leisure time. Both teachers and pupils have difficulties in articulating what the pupils are supposed to learn in physical education and health. Some of the pupils report that they are supposed to learn the skills and rules of different kinds of sports. Observation studies also confirm that conventional sports activities, particularly ball games, tend to dominate the subject in terms of the use of language heavily loaded with competitive sport connotations.

    Conclusions: The results of the research programmes highlight a number of practical challenges with regard to a physical education and health that according to the national syllabus is supposed to emphasise teaching and learning (for) health: what, more exactly, are pupils supposed to learn and what does a teaching that facilitates such learning look like, what does a teaching that is equitable for all pupils look like and what is the relation between physical education, sport and health? The results of the research also highlight a number of research challenges. Much of the research was carried out without an elaborated theoretical framework that emphasised the teaching processes and the relation between teaching and learning. In addition, most of the research was undertaken from a point of view considered alien to most physical education teachers. There seems to be a need for studies that aim to reduce the gap between theory/researchers and practice/practitioners. Finally, there seems to be a need for researchers to change focus from studying activities to studying learning outcomes.

    Abstract [sv]

    This article concerns gender, sexuality and heteronormativity in physical education (PE). The aim is to elucidate girls’ and boys’ conditions in relation to the heteronormative culture of the subject. 24 pupils in grade 8 and 9 were interviewed about their view on PE and on girls and boys in the subject. A discourse analysis of the interviews was conducted, aiming at pinpointing the discursive rules as to how girls and boys can act ‘normal’ in PE teaching. The analysis show how different kinds of activities, notably dance and ball games, subjectify girls and boys in different ways. In order to act ‘normal’, girls and boys seem to have to conform to a heterosexual matrix. This means that boys might be viewed as queer should they be skilled dancers, and conversely that girls might be viewed as queer should they be skilled ball players. Every attempt to challenge the gender order in PE, must also be an attempt to challenge the heteronormative culture of the subject.

    Sports, storytelling and social media: a review and conceptualization2018In: International Journal of Sports Marketing & Sponsorship, ISSN 1464-6668, Vol. 19, no 3, p. 338-349Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose - Professional sports organizations have a long tradition of utilizing stories as part of their marketing efforts. However, as the media landscape has undergone considerable change as a result of information and communication technologies, most notably through social media, the conditions under which storytelling evolve have altered significantly. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explain how storytelling in the sports sector becomes integrated in social media.

    Design/methodology/approach - A conceptual review in three sequential steps is carried out. First, extant literature on the role and effects of storytelling is reviewed. This is followed by a review of the interplay between storytelling and the contemporary media landscape, with a particular focus on social media. Third, the authors link both literatures and, by doing so, illustrate the dynamic interplay of storytelling and social media in the sports sector.

    Findings - The conceptual review shows that storytelling can enact four sequential roles that are characterized by varying degrees of co-creation which, in relation to extant literature, has strong implications for the manageability of storytelling from the perspective of professional sports organizations.

    Originality/value - Based on the identified sequential roles that storytelling can enact in social media, this paper contributes to the field of sports marketing by depicting how the dynamics between storytelling and the social media landscape exhibit a shifting degree of manageability with regards to storytelling from the perspective of professional sports organizations.

    Abstract [en]

    The Swedish Sports Confederation, RF, defines itself as a ‘popular movement’. This notion has been one of the most fundamental elements of the sports movement’s self-image, and it has also been used as a way for the movement to legitimize itself – considering it is financially supported by the Swedish state. This sport organizational identity also denotes that RF is governed democratically. Both the social movement identity and the notion of democratic comportment have been fundamental to the sports movement’s self-understanding. The governing of Swedish sport has so far been scrutinized mostly on a general level concerning the relationship between public authorities and RF. The association level has not been considered to the same extent in previous research. Nor has the issue of sport democracy been particularly highlighted as a research topic in its own right. However, in order to understand the governing of as well as the social and cultural impact of Swedish sport, we must understand how those institutions in authority have been managed and regulated. Based on both innovative theoretical models and empirical in depth analysis, the articles in this special issue find new ways to explain and understand how Swedish sport has been governed and controlled.

    Acceptance and Commitment Training to Promote Psychological Flexibility in Ice Hockey Performance: A Controlled Group Feasibility Study2020In: Journal of Clinical Sport Psychology, ISSN 1932-9261, E-ISSN 1932-927X, Vol. 14, no 2, p. 170-181Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Despite the growing popularity of mindfulness and acceptance-based performance enhancement methods in applied sport psychology, evidence for their efficacy is scarce. The purpose of the current study is to test the feasibility and effect of a psychological training program based on Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) developed for ice hockey players. A controlled group feasibility designed study was conducted and included 21 elite male ice hockey players. The ACT program consisted of four, once a week, sessions with homework assignments between sessions. The results showed significant increase in psychological flexibility for the players in the training group. The outcome was positive for all feasibility measures. Participants found the psychological training program important to them as ice hockey players and helpful in their ice hockey development. Desirably, future studies should include objective performance data as outcome measure to foster more valid evidence for performance enhancement methods in applied sport psychology.

    The temporal relations across burnout dimensions in athletes2018In: Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, ISSN 0905-7188, E-ISSN 1600-0838, Vol. 28, no 3, p. 1215-1226Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Burnout is a construct that has garnered considerable attention in sport psychology within recent years. Several hypothesized models regarding how the three dimensions (exhaustion, devaluation, and reduced sense of accomplishment) temporally relate to each other have been advanced. One proposal outlined by Maslach and Leiter suggests that exhaustion predicts devaluation which predicts reduced sense of accomplishment. However, there is no consensus among researchers as it has been argued that exhaustion predicts devaluation and reduced accomplishment separately. The aim of this study was to test multiple alternative hypotheses regarding the relationships of the burnout dimensions in athletes. Two samples of Swedish youth elite athletes with differing time spans between measurements were used. Specifically, one sample involved time-intensive measures collected every week over an eight-week period, and the other sample included four measurement points across an 18-month period. Results showed that none of the previously proposed models outlining the temporal relations of burnout dimensions were supported. Statistical analysis of the models including the cross-lagged predictions of dimensions did not have any statistically significant impact except when exhaustion negatively predicted devaluation between time 1 (month 0) and time 2 (month 6) in the 18-month sample; this relation faded in the following time points. Further, issues regarding the stability of devaluation and reduced sense of accomplishment emerged as their autocorrelation were very weak in the time-intensive sample. These findings raise a number of points for further theoretical and practical discussions about the athlete burnout construct.

    Within- and between-person predictors of disordered eating attitudes among male and female dancers: Findings from the UK Centres for Advanced Training2016In: Psychology of Sport And Exercise, ISSN 1469-0292, E-ISSN 1878-5476, Vol. 27, p. 101-111Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Objectives: This longitudinal study examined potential predictors of disordered eating attitudes (DEA) for male and female dancers, with a particular focus on whether environmental predictors (perceptions of task- and ego-involving motivational climate) added significantly to the prediction made by intrapersonal predictor variables (demographics/training, self-esteem, perfectionism).

    Methods and Design: Young dancers (N = 597, 73.4% female, M = 14.69 years old, SD = 2.04) from UK Centres for Advanced Training completed questionnaires 1-5 times over a two-year period, depending on how long they were enrolled at their centre. Multilevel modelling was employed to examine both between- and within-person predictors of DEA.

    Results: For females, lower self-esteem and higher perfectionistic concerns were significant between person predictors of DEA. Increased levels of perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns were significant within-person predictors. For males, increased perfectionistic concerns and perceptions of the motivational climate as more task- and ego-involving were significant between-person predictors of DEA. No significant within-person predictors emerged.

    Conclusions: Findings contribute to the literature on DEA in aesthetic activities and the debate concerning the (mal-)adaptiveness of perfectionistic strivings. They also raise questions about how environmental aspects should best be conceptualized and measured in studies of this type. In particular, however, results demonstrate that the predictors of DEA among males and females may not be the same, and suggest that future interventions may therefore need to be sex-specific.

    Effects of high-intensity hatha yoga on cardiovascular fitness, adipocytokines, and apolipoproteins in healthy students: a randomized controlled study2016In: Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, ISSN 1075-5535, E-ISSN 1557-7708, Vol. 22, no 1, p. 81-87Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Yoga exercises are often used as a form of body and mind exercise to increase performance. However, knowledge about the physiologic effects of performing high-intensity Hatha yoga exercises over a longer time period remains limited.

    Objective: To investigate the effects of high-intensity yoga (HIY) on cardiovascular fitness (maximal oxygen consumption, estimated from the Cooper running test), ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR), heart rate recovery (HRR), blood pressure (BP), adipocytokines, apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in healthy students.

    Methods: The 44 participants (38 women and 6 men; median age, 25 years [range, 20–39 years]) were randomly assigned to an HIY or a control group. The HIY program was held for 6 weeks (60 minutes once a week). Cardiovascular fitness, RPE, HR, HRR, BP, adipocytokines, HbA1c, ApoA1, and ApoB were measured at baseline and after 6 weeks in both groups.

    Results: HIY had no significant effects on cardiovascular fitness (mean dose: 390 minutes [range, 210–800 minutes]), HR, HRR, BP, or any of the blood parameters. However, ApoA1 (1.47 ± 0.17 to 1.55 ± 0.16 g/L; p = 0.03) and adiponectin (8.32 ± 3.32 to 9.68 ± 3.83 mg/L; p = 0.003) levels increased significantly in the HIY group after 6 weeks.

    Conclusions: Six weeks of HIY did not significantly improve cardiovascular fitness. However, ApoA1 and adiponectin levels increased significantly in the HIY group. This finding suggests that HIY may have positive effects on blood lipids and an anti-inflammatory effect.
