    Orienteringsträning i förändring: En komparativ studie av orienteringsträning på elitnivå på 1980-talet och 20102011In: Idrottsforum.org/Nordic sport science forum, ISSN 1652-7224, no 11 majArticle in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Det har tagit åtta år och 137 uppdateringar innan orienteringssporten förekommer på idrottsforum.org mer än bara nämnd i förbifarten i en bisats i en text som handlar om något helt annat. Överhuvud taget har orienteringssporten inte i någon märkvärdig utsträckning väckt idrottsforskarnas intresse – med ett lysande undantag, nämligen pedagogikprofessorn vid Högskolan Kristianstad och Högskolan i Borås, Torgny Ottosson, som redan 1984 publicerade forskningsrapporten "Problemlösningsstrategier i orientering: En skiss till teoretisk ram och en metodstudie" vid Göteborgs universitet. Tre år senare kom avhandlingen Map-reading and wayfinding (Göteborg Studies in Educational Sciences, 65), och därefter har Ottosson publicerat ett flertal artiklar om orientering, bland annat i Scientific Journal of Orienteering. Om skälen till att Torgny Ottosson ensam fått föra orienteringsforskningen framåt i orienteringssportens hemland kan vi blott spekulera; möjligen kan det har att göra med att sporten till sin natur saknar viktiga förutsättningar för att bli en bred publiksport, och därmed uppvisar en markerad frånvaro av kommersiell potential. Här är dock inte sista ordet sagt; samma sak sas ju om skidskyttet innan televisionen utvecklade täckningen av tävlingar på ett sätt som gjort skidskytte till en av de främsta publiksporterna. Orienteringssporten sägs ha sitt ursprung i Sverige i slutet av 1800-talet – termen orientering användes första gången 1886, enligt engelska Wikipedia, medan SAOL refererar till Idrottsbladet från 1924. Oxford English Dictionary anger att orienteering infördes i engelskan på 1940-talet, från svenskans orientering. Ordet härstammar uppenbarligen från oriens, latin för Östern, Orienten, och definieras i orienteringssammanhang som "hitta väderstreck", med betydelsen "förflyttning från en punkt i terrängen till en annan (med hjälp av karta o. kompass)". Det började som militära övningar och därefter militära tävlingar. Den första tävlingen som var öppen för civila gick av stapeln i norska Nordmarka 1897. Sveriges första tävling för civila kom fyra år senare, i arrangemang av Sundbybergs IK. Damer släpptes in i sporten 1925 redan, och man hann med ett SM 1935, tre år innan Svenska Orienteringsförbundet bildades. 1960-talet inleddes med att Internationella Orienteringsförbundet bildades, och sporten nådde nu på allvar utanför den nordiska skogsmiljön. Frida Andersson, Fredrika Vångell och Leif Yttergren visar i sin artikel i den här uppdateringen hur orienteringssporten från och med 1980-talet genomgått en omfattande förändringsprocess, som kan sammanfattas med begreppen "miniglobalisering", det vill säga att sporten fått allt större internationell spridning; sportifiering, med innebörden att man brutit med traditionen att bara springa en enda distans; samt avskogifiering – man springer allt oftare i annan terräng än skogslandskap. Till det kan läggas att kartografitekniken har utvecklats med hjälp av datorer och GPS. Andersson, Vångell och Yttergren vill i sin studie undersöka i vilken utsträckning orienteringssportens förändringar under de senaste 30 åren lett till motsvarande förändringar i orienterarnas träningsstrategier. De kombinerar litteraturstudier och enkätintervjuer med aktiva förr och nu, och kommer fram till bitvis ganska förvånansvärda resultat, som kanske främst sätter sportifieringsbegreppets användning i samband med orientering ifråga. Traditionens makt är stor, här som i andra sammanhang.

    Stockholmsolympiaden 1912: tävlingarna - människorna - staden2012Collection (editor) (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Den 6 juli 2012 är det 100 år sedan de olympiska spelen invigdes av kung Gustaf V på Stadion i Stockholm. Festligheterna var en unik chans för Stockholm och Sverige att visa upp sig för omvärlden under en tid som annars präglades av motsättningar och turbulens. Arrangemangen gick till historien som Solskensolympiaden eller ”the Swedish Masterpiece”, men det var även ett projekt som blev betydligt dyrare än beräknat och där läktare på sina ställen gapade tomma.

    I elva fristående kapitel belyser författare från olika vetenskapliga discipliner Stockholmsolympiaden med särskilt fokus på det kulturella, politiska och sociala kring idrottandet. Vi får följa planerandet inför spelen, marknadsföringen, deltagarnas förberedelser, publikens beteende och de kvinnor som gavs möjlighet att tävla. I korta personporträtt möter vi dessutom deltagare och ledare, och ett särskilt kapitel tar upp tävlingsresultat och andra fakta kring olympiaden.Med hundra år i backspegeln får vi genom bidragen i Stockholmsolympiaden 1912 även perspektiv på evenemangets betydelse för vårt lands idrottsutövande och den olympiska rörelsens fortsatta framtid, samt dess effekter på det arrangerade samhället, inte minst den i Stockholm alltid aktuella arenafrågan.

    Hans Bolling är fil.dr i historia och forskar för närvarande om svensk handikappidrott. Leif Yttergren är docent i historia vid Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan i Stockholm och hans avhandling Täflan är lifvet har utgivits av Stockholmia förlag.

    Swedish Gymnastics for Export: A Study of the Professional Careers and Lives of Swedish Female Gymnastic Directors, 1893-19332015In: International Journal of the History of Sport, ISSN 0952-3367, E-ISSN 1743-9035, Vol. 32, no 11-12, p. 1437-1455Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of the study is to analyze the careers of women gymnastics directors about the turn of the century in 1900. This is done by means of a collective biographical study of the women's course at the Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics in Stockholm from 1891 to 1893. The study is based above all on unique correspondence between the members of the course, namely a correspondence book circulated among them between 1893 and 1943. This book contained a total of almost 500 letters comprising thousands of handwritten pages with detailed accounts of their professional career and family, as well as life's positive and negative sides. The study shows that their opportunities of making a career in Sweden and abroad in the occupation they had received training in were good. There are several reasons for this success. Swedish gymnastics treatment methods were the height of fashion round about the turn of the century in 1900 and there was great demand for their services. They remained faithful to their choice of occupation, even if their career took a back seat for half of them when they married: family life and a professional career could not be combined for them.

    Den svenska sporthjälten: Kontinuitet och förändring i medieberättelsen om den svenska sporthjälten från 1920-talet till idag2014Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis examines the media construction of five Swedish sports heroes, active from the 1920’s to the beginning of the 2000’s. The analyses are based on the assumption that sports heroes are social products that reflect the dominating ideals and values of a society or culture, and that the media plays an important role in this process. Firstly, the media provide the attention necessary for successful athletes to become publically known and, secondly, they create the stories in which some athletes are represented as heroes while others are represented as villains. The use of narrative theory in this thesis builds on the idea that a story is not merely a way of presenting information, but a way of creating meaning. A person becomes a hero when he or she is described as a hero in a heroic tale. To analyze the media construction of sports heroes is thus to analyze the media stories of them as heroes.

    In order to examine and compare the construction of sports heroes in the media, articles from daily press and magazines as well as broadcasts in radio and television have been analyzed. The results show that although each of the five heroes were valued and represented according to ideals and values specific of his or her time, there are similarities in the media representation of them that suggest that there is some degree of stability in the narrative of the Swedish sports hero over time. In many ways, the story of the Swedish sports hero is still intact since the 1920’s. However, this story is an ideal story and the process of constructing athletes as heroes has proved to be filled with compromise and contradictions. It can be argued that the media is more concerned with fitting the athletes into an already existing narrative of the Swedish sports hero than with representing them as individuals.

    Seen in a wider historical context, sports heroes represent an example of how national identity is constructed in the media. National identity is, as many theorists have shown, a dynamic and relational process. What is considered typically Swedish thus changes over time and in different contexts. In this process the social status of sports heroes helps to stabilize as well as legitimize dominating ideas of Swedish national identity.

    Karriärövergången för elittennisspelare studeras: recension av boken Kändisskap och statuspassager: Idrottslig identitet i upplevelseindustrins tjänst av Jonas Stier2014In: Idrottsforum.org/Nordic sport science forum, ISSN 1652-7224, Vol. 28 marsArticle, book review (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Det går knackigt för svensk tennis utanför landets gränser. I skrivande stund finns ingen svensk, man eller kvinna, i topp 100 på tennisens rankinglistor; faktum är att hela Norden representeras av blott två spelare på toppnivå, Finlands Jarkko Nieminen och Danmarks Caroline Wozniacki. I Sverige minns vi med saknad det så kallade svenska tennisundret. Under en följd av år producerade Sverige framgångsrika spelare på herrsidan, världsettor och topp 10-spelare, i långa banor. Vi minns kanske särskilt Björn Borg, Mats Wilander, Anders Järryd och Stefan Edberg från guldåren, och i ett något senare skede Jonas Björkman och Magnus Norman. Men det fanns åtskilliga fler, och för dem alla har livet förändrats drastiskt i och med idrottskarriärens slut. Det forskas faktiskt en hel del kring det som på svanka kallas karriärövergångar för idrottare, här hemma och internationellt. Ett bidrag till den forskningen är Jonas Stiers sociologiska undersökning av hur just ett antal svenska tennisspelares upplevde och handskades med övergången från firad världsstjärna till ”vanlig”, om än ovanligt rik, svensk. John Hellström, som själv forskar om idrottshjältar, har läst Stiers Kändisskap och statuspassager: Idrottslig identitet i upplevelseindustrins tjänst (Studentlitteratur), som trots bristande generaliserbarhet är värdefull på många sätt, inte minst när det gäller metodologins allmänna användbarhet.

    Recruiting Immigrant Students to the Initial PE Teacher Education at the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences2017In: Education for All: Issues for Teacher Education / [ed] Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, Limerick; Ireland: Mary Immaculate College , 2017Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Recruiting immigrant students to the initial PE teacher education at the Swedish School of Sort and Health Sciences

    Sweden is in many ways a multicultural society. Off all children living in Sweden around 20 % are themselves born or have parents who are born in another country. These children has also made an impact on Swedish sports. Today, research show that boys from immigrant families are as much a part of organized sports as children born in Sweden, while girls from immigrant families are less active in organized sports.

    Whereas organized sports in general show a similar pattern as society as a whole when it comes to children born in other countries, with the exception for girls, initial education for physical education (PE) does not. Studies reveals that the typical student in initial teacher education for PE is born in Sweden, grew up in the countryside and comes from families with limited tradition of higher education. In The Swedish School of sport and health sciences (GIH), only 9 % of the students in the PE teacher education program where immigrants or came from immigrant families. In this regard, the initial PE teacher education in Sweden faces a huge challenge.

    In our presentation we will discuss some of the strategies that GIH has adopted to recruit students with other backgrounds than the typical. We will also address some of the challenges that comes with this regarding different cultural backgrounds and basic knowledge of the Swedish sporting culture.

    “- How does it feel right now?”: A narrative analysis of sports-interviews after performance2019In: The Society of the Study of Narrative Annual Conference, ISSN / [ed] James Phelan, Georgetown: Ohio State University Press, 2019Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Success stories and heroic tales are recurrently investigated narrative genres in literature (Propp, 1998), journalism (Lule, 2001) and, not the least, in sports (Hellström, 2014). In sports, we repeatedly hear athletes explain their performance at half-time or give us reflections on a recently completed competition. However, these stories are not produced in a social vacuum; they are part of a discursive framework and a product of time and place. The trajectories for a legitimate success story is limited and specific storylines are repeated and holds a specific dramaturgical structure. The heroic story typically follows a temporal structure, from a beginning to an end, where events and performances function as phases of a narrative journey towards a defining triumph (Hoebeke et al. 2011). Which performances that constitutes the highlight of an athlete’s career will always be culturally determined, since cultures produces heroes according to their own specific values and traditions (Whannel, 2002). Thereby, the “personal” story is both a contextually specific narrative and a culturally shared narrative.

     

    Aims and empirical material

    In this paper, we are seeking to investigate how success stories in sports as a central part of the athletes identity work, and how these stories also serve as symbols for values and morals of a wider sporting society (Kilger, 2017). Many narrative scholars within the area of sports have been interested in retrospective studies of sports heroes or historical media studies of successful athletes (Hargreaves, 2000; Hellström, 2014; Whannel, 2002). In this study, we would like to pay particular attention to how personal narratives are built ´in-action´ and study which narrative elements are recurrent in the interviews and how is the own performance explained. Accordingly, we are interested in how such narratives of success and failure are co-constructed in the interview interaction and how they are structured. By investigating which master narratives that the participants recruit in their personal stories, this can help us to uncover shared normative storylines in elite sports. Moreover, we would like to illuminate how the athletes are using ´temporal-identity´ in the interviews as a way to construct a legitimate story of performance.

     

    The data set will include after-performance media interviews from Swedish television (SVT) during the FIS Cross Country World Championships. More specifically, we are seeking to analyze between 15-20 after-race television interviews with Swedish athletes during the FIS Cross Country World Championships 2019 in Falun, Sweden.

    Disability, Riding and Identity: A Qualitative Study on the Influence of Riding on the Identity Construction of People with Disabilities2014In: International journal of disability, development and education, ISSN 1034-912X, E-ISSN 1465-346X, Vol. 61, no 1, p. 67-79Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were used to examine the influence of riding on the identity construction of people with disabilities. The 15 participants, three men and 12 women, were between 15 and 65 years old and have various physical disabilities. The data analysis derives from identity theory, a social–psychological theory that understands identity as an interaction between the individual and society. The findings show that: the informants either acquire a new identity as a rider or they resume with the rider identity they had before their illness or accident; riding offers a link to their previous lives; and riding helps to focus on what the informants can do, and not, as this group is often viewed by society, on what they cannot do. The findings thus show that riding can influence the identity construction of people with disabilities.

    Forskning i bevaegelse: Et nyt forskningsfelt i et 100-årigt perspektiv: recension2009In: Idrottsforum.org, ISSN 1652-7224Article, book review (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [sv]

    Inom idrottsforskningen pratar man ofta, med Alan Guttmann, om begreppet sportifiering eller försportligande, den process som beskriver övergången från rituella fysiska spel och lekar till tävlingsidrott i modern mening. På ett likartat sätt kan man tala om försportligandet av akademin, av forskning och högre utbildning. Den processen började vid olika tidpunkter i olika länder och olika vetenskapliga discipliner – till exempel utfördes idrottspsykologiska experiment av Norman Triplett i USA redan på 1890-talet, medan den första utexaminerade idrottsvetaren i Storbritannien lämnade Liverpool Polytechnic 1975. Svenska Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan grundades 1913, men ämnet gymnastik hade introducerats vid Københavns Universitet redan 1909. Just det, för precis 100 år sedan. Exakt när Institut for Idræt bildades har inte kunnat fastställas, men det är i dess hägn idrottsforskningen vid KU bedrivs numera, och det är där man på olika sätt firar 100-årsjubileet. Bland har man givit ut en jubileumsbok, Forskning i bevægelse: Et nyt forskningsfelt i et 100-årigt perspektiv, sammanställd av Anne Lykke Pulsen med flera, och utgiven av universitetsförlaget Museum Tusculanum. Vi bad Pia Lundquist Wanneberg om en recension, som vi dessutom gärna ville kunna publicera under jubileumsåret, och det fick vi, en grundlig genomgång av en imponerande och spännande hundraårig vetenskapshistoria, präglad av såväl dialog som kamp. Vår recensent uppfattar också boken som en utmaning inför GIHs stora jubileum 2013.

    Gymnastics as Remedy: A Study of Nineteenth Century Swedish Medical Gymnastics2018In: Athens Journal of Sports, E-ISSN 2241-7915, Vol. 5, no 1, p. 33-52Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper examined a form of 19th century globally spread physiotherapy known as Swedish medical gymnastics. The goal of the research was to determine the aim of medical gymnastics, its elements and its performance style. The study also investigated why medical gymnastics had such a large global impact? Applying a qualitative text analysis, the results showed that medical gymnastics, through individually tailored movements, aimed to restore health, which for various reasons had declined. Furthermore, the treatment made particular use of passive movements carried out by someone other than the patient. Even massage was included. However, there were also active movements, under the supervision of or supported by a gymnast. As for the global spread, two factors contributed to this: first, its scientific and philosophical foundations were typical of the period; and second, recent graduates of the Royal Central Gymnastics Institute in Stockholm went abroad to promote Ling gymnastics, the type of gymnastics to which medical gymnastics belonged. Medical gymnastics treatment became an important source of income for both the graduates and the Royal Central Gymnastics Institute. This led, ultimately, to many people coming into contact with this form of gymnastics. Yet another reason was its rootedness, both in the past and in the future, where physical exercise remains of major importance for maintaining or regaining health.

    Kroppens medborgarfostran: kropp, klass och genus i skolans fysiska fostran 1919-19622004Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

     

    The problem forming the basis of this study is why Ling gymnastics, a product of the early 19th Century, was constantly practised in Swedish state-run schools during the 1950s despite the fact that, from the beginning of the 20th Century, it had been questioned by scientists and faced stiff competition from sport. The thesis approaches the question in relation to the state and the body. Ling gymnastics was conducted in the state school system and the target was the body. The establishment of elementary schools, in 1842, is seen as the starting-point for the building of a modern Swedish bureaucratic educational state incorporating the whole country. Mass education helped to integrate all the citizens into the state and offered an opportunity to eliminate the differences and conflicts that belonged to the old society. However, it was also possible to establish new ones. Up until 1962, there existed in Swedish compulsory schooling namely two parallel school systems, the elementary school and the secondary school, which targeted different categories of pupils.

    The aim of the thesis is to examine the role of physical education when it came to raising citizens in the democratic welfare state established and expanded during the research period, 1919 until 1962, when the socially differentiated school system was replaced by nine years of comprehensive schooling. The main question is, from a class- and gender perspective, what type of citizens were to be raised by the subject “gymnastics with games and sport” (as it was known during that period), both in terms of physique and character, and with which subject-matter was this going to happen – gymnastics or sport?

    The study has shown that the reason why Ling gymnastics lasted so long was that it was needed until the introduction of comprehensive schools. The establishment of the democratic welfare state required a new population. However, since it was not intended, at that time, for the population to be uniform, tools were needed, with whose help it was possible to mould citizens with both common and different features. One tool was physical education that comprised two forms of physical training, Ling gymnastics and sport, which, from the educational point of view and for sorting purposes, possessed various qualities. Thus, when comprehensive schools were introduced, interest in Ling gymnastics waned, partially because the subject had become more physiological, but also because the subject’s task was modified. When the bodies Ling gymnastics had helped to develop were no longer a target and a partially new form of character education was desired, Ling gymnastics had served its purpose.

    On the other hand, special women’s gymnastics, which was launched at the beginning of the 20th Century, had not had its day. This gymnastics was still needed to raise girls into women, however, in a rhythmical and physiological form. Even the gymnastics the boys were to have contained characteristics from the earlier boys’ gymnastics in the form of apparatus work and weight training. The difference was that it had become more powerful training and had been supplemented by circuit training and fitness testing. However, Ling gymnastics, in the shape of independent, constructed movements carried out to instructions in accordance with planned daily exercises, had disappeared.

    Sport, Diasbility and Women: A Study of Organised Swedish Disability Sport in 1969-20122017In: Polish Journal of Sport and Tourism, ISSN 1899-1998, E-ISSN 2082-8799, Vol. 24, no 4, p. 213-220Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Introduction. The purpose of this article is first to provide a picture of disability sport in general and second to increase knowledge of sport for women with disabilities.

    Material and methods. The study method is a qualitative text analysis of organised Swedish disability sport and of media reporting of the Paralympics. The study begins in 1969, the year when the Swedish Sports Organization for the Disabled (SHIF) was formed, and continues until the Summer Paralympics in 2012. The theory is based on three conceptual pairs: integration and inclusion, the medical and social models, and the traditional and progressive models of media coverage.

    Results. The results show that SHIF strove principally not for inclusion but for integration. Further, women in SHIF led a hidden existence, except for the period between the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, when initiatives were taken to improve their position. In other respects, this was a non-issue. Moreover, the medical model was dominant, and sport was viewed above all as rehabilitating. Finally, mainstream media reporting was traditional, namely Paralympic participants were portrayed first and foremost as people with disabilities and secondarily as sports practitioners.

    Conclusion. Swedish disability sport during this period was not included in the sports movement in general and integration work was, for the SHIF board, superordinate to the gender aspect.

    The sexualization of sport: A gender analysis of Swedish elite sport from 1967 to the present day2011In: The European Journal of Women's Studies, ISSN 1350-5068, E-ISSN 1461-7420, Vol. 18, no 3, p. 265-278Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article examines the media representation of Swedish elite sport from the end of the 1960s until the present day in terms of objectification, sexualization and pornification. During this period, Sweden became one of the world's most gender-equal countries. Applying a critical qualitative textual analysis, the article shows that the media discourse on gender and sport is, however, not equal. Even if the discourse over time has become less condescending and less explicitly sexist, there are still more or less subtle allusions to women as a sex. From the latter half of the 1990s onwards, it is possible to talk of a pornification of sport which is strongly linked to market adjustment and commercialization. Since pornification affects women to a greater extent, the media image of Swedish elite sport becomes a bastion for the reproduction of inequality.

    The Weight Attached to Dieting: Health, Beauty and Morality in Sweden from the End of the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day2019In: Athens Journal of Health and Medical Sciences, E-ISSN 2653-9411, Vol. 6, no 4, p. 243-260Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Over the last hundred years a new ideal body norm has been established. We should be thin, or at least strive to be. Consequently, dieting has become a topical subject. This article aims to examine the history of Swedish dieting from the introduction of William Banting's diet into Sweden at the end of the nineteenth century to the present day. The article takes tries to answer the following questions: Why did people diet? Was it for aesthetic, social or health reasons? Or was it a physical expression of good morality in the form of self-discipline and control? The theoretical basis of this study is inspired by Michael Foucault's concept of biopower and the study method is a qualitative text analysis done by examining medical books and weekly newspapers. The findings show that a strong argument for dieting was the health risks which corpulence was deemed to be linked to. But there were moral, aesthetic and psychosocial reasons too. All these reasons appeared, to a lesser or greater extent, in both medical books and weeklies during the whole period. Aesthetic reasons, however, featured most prominently in weeklies, whereas medical books devoted most space to health reasons. When discussing the latter, physicians, often, however, strayed onto moral reasons. Highlighted as the psychosocial reason were the derision and insults corpulent people endured, which made their lives miserable because they could not participate in society in the same way as thin people. In this context, dieting was portrayed as little short of a miracle. If only an overweight person became thin, their life would change and they would be happy. There is such an abundance of these dieting stories in weeklies that they constitute their own genre.

    The World Gymnaestrada - a Non-Competetive Event: The Concept 'Gymnastics for all' from the Perspective of Ling Gymnastics2011In: Scandinavian Sport Studies Forum, E-ISSN 2000-088X, Vol. 2, p. 99-118Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    During the twentieth century, large, non-competitive Gymnastics festivals were held in Europe. An early festival of this kind was the 1939 Lingiad, which was held in Stockholm and based on the principles of Ling gymnastics. A later variation that is still going today is the World Gymnaestrada, which is based on the principle of 'Gymnastics for All'. The aim of this study is to highlight the concept Gymnastics for All and, above all, to examine whether it contains any elements of Ling gymnastics. Three pairs of opposing concepts, general–elite, collectivism–individualism, and modesty–ambition, have been used for this task. The study is based on twenty group interviews and eighty-seven observations. The results show that one similarity between the two forms of gymnastics is their non-competitiveness, and another is the view of collectivism and general, namely that gymnastics should be performed together and the idea behind both gives everyone an opportunity to participate. The major difference between the two can be linked to the increased individualization of society during this period. This is shown, for instance, by the fact that many of the participants, young people under the age of twenty-five, despite their participation in the Gymnaestrada hold individual competitions in higher esteem than group display.

    När ungdomar själva får välja: en studie av Riksidrottsförbundets Ungdomsinitiativ - från idé till aktivitet2005Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Det centralt initierade så kallade Ungdomsinitiativet, vilket är en del av PLI satsningen, är ett projekt för ungdomar, av ungdomar och med ungdomar. Initiativet ligger således väl i linje med ovanstående önskan att bättre ta tillvara ungdomars eget engagemang liksom att öka kunskapen om hur ungdomar vill utforma sin egen idrottsverksamhet – när de själva får välja.

    Hur har då arbetet med Ungdomsinitiativet fungerat? Vilka aktiviteter har genomförts? Skapas det något nytt när ungdomar får ”fria händer” eller är det traditionella idrottsaktiviteter som blir följden? Det är några frågor vi har försökt besvara i denna rapport. Studien ska ses som en erfarenhetsbelysning, där vi valt att rikta fokus mot dels distriktsförbundens arbete, dels innehåll och mål i projektansökningarna, dels ungdomarnas egna erfarenheter. Studien har genomförts mellan september 2004 och februari 2005, vilket innebär att tiden för planering, insamling av data, bearbetning, analys och skrivande har varit begränsad. Trots detta hoppas vi med denna rapport kunna bidra med värdefull kunskap om olika erfarenheter av Ungdomsinitiativet – och inte minst – om villkoren för ungdomars delaktighet i idrottsrörelsen i dag.

    Ett ämne för alla?: normer och praktik i grundskolans idrottsundervisning 1962-20022005Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis focuses on the physical education in the Swedish compulsory school-system during the period of 1962-2002. The background for the study is an ongoing debate concerning the deteriorating physical health among the Swedish adolescents, a development commonly explained by the decreased amount of physical education provided by the compulsory school-system.

    The thesis is divided into three empirical parts. The aim of the first part is to compare the physical education on the normative level, as comprehended from the national curriculum, with the practical level, that is the contents of the subject according to the teachers themselves during the period. The aim of the second part is to analyse similarities and differences on the normative and practical level and try to explain them. The thesis also contains a third part, an international study where the Swedish results are compared with the physical education in Germany, England, Denmark, the USSR and the USA during the same period.

    The result of the comparison shows similarities and differences. The most important similarities concerns the amount of time allocated to the subject and the aims with the education. The normative level exerts a great influence over the practical level regarding the amount of allocated time. Reductions on the normative level have corresponded with changes on the practical level. Regarding the aims of the physical education there seem to exist a mutual consent on the normative and practical level. On both levels the subject has been motivated by the health benefits gained by physical activity. Aesthetic and result-orientated aims were not given any major concern. The greatest difference is that recreational aims are given more concern on practical level than on normative. However, when studying the activities that were recommended on the normative level in comparison to what actually took place, great differences are revealed. While the curriculum recommended a broad range of activities, from different sports to theoretical education, the teachers focused on a narrow range of activities, mainly ball sports, gymnastics and track and field.

    This results in another question. How could it be that the normative and practical level shows such so great similarities concerning the aims of the subject when the activities that were preferred differed so substantially? In the second part of the study, this question is in focus. The following analysis shows that the normative level in all respects adjusted itself to changes in the society during the second half of the 20th century. The practical level on the other hand did not exhibit any such adjustments. Rather, local factors, as the availability of sports facilities, the direction and intensity of the local sports movement, and the teachers and students own experience of sports proved to be important factors. The conclusion thus is, that while the normative level, the national curriculum, was influenced by changes in society, the practical level, that is the education provided by the physical education-teachers, was influenced by the facilities available and experiences of the participants in the physical education. This also explains the similarities and differences shown in the first part of the study.

    The result of the third part, the international comparison, shows that the Swedish situation was not unique. In general the results corresponds well with existing research on physical education in Denmark and Germany. These nations have several things in common with Sweden, most importantly the organisation of the national sports movement and a historical gymnastic legacy. This argument is also strengthened by the fact that the other nations studied, England, the USA and the USSR, differed substantially from Sweden concerning the subject of physical education. Neither of these nations has shared the gymnastic legacy nor are the sports movements organized in the same manner as the formerly mentioned nations.

    Thus, the conclusion of the thesis is that while the curriculum seemed to adjust itself after the changes in society during the second half of the 20th century, the physical education teachers adjusted the education in accordance with their own experience of sport, with the popular local sports and with the availability of facilities in close proximity of the school. As a consequence, major differences regarding the contents of the physical education developed between the normative and the practical level while the aims of the education showed great similarities on both levels.

    Baseball, glima and Gotlandic sport: An analysis of the demonstration sports in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics2018In: Diagoras: International Academic Journal on Olympic Studies, Vol. 2, p. 103-122Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of the study is to analyse the demonstration sports (baseball, glima and Gotlandic sport) into the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Who took the initiative for the demonstration sports? The IOC or the Swedish Organising Committee? How were the demonstration sports received by the public and the press, and what was their legacy? The study is based mainly on primary sources from the 1912 Stockholm Olympics’ archive. The 1912 Stockholm Olympics has been well explored, mainly by Swedes and internationals, and this gives a good picture of the 1912 Stockholm Olympics from different perspectives. On the other hand, research into the demonstration sports in the Olympic Games is clearly limited and there is thus a great need for further studies. This current study covers just a small part of this need. The results show that in 1912 there was no considered strategy on the part of either the IOC or the Swedish Organising Committee concerning the demonstration sports. The initiative for the demonstration sports came from individual representatives of each type of sport, and the Swedish organisers were positive towards three of those proposed: baseball, glima and Gotlandic sport. The Swedish organisers had control over which demonstration sports would be included in the programme. This meant that the choice of demonstration sports lay beyond the control of the 1912 IOC, but this would change in the 1900s. During the games they were given limited attention at most, both publicly and in the press. The demonstration sports were removed from the Olympic programme before the 1992 Olympic Games.

    Engelsk träningshistorik som manar till efterföljd: recension av boken Professionals, Amateurs and Performance: Sports Coaching in England, 1789–1914 av Dave Day2015In: Idrottsforum.org/Nordic sport science forum, ISSN 1652-7224, no 16 aprilArticle, book review (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Från Idrottsforum:

    Vi publicerade nyligen en recension av David Epsteins The Sports Gene, som väl lämpligast beskrivs som en kraftfull gensaga mot den så kallade 10 000-timmarsregeln, framforskad av K. Anders Ericsson och populariserad av Malcolm Gladwell. Nurture står mot nature – är 10 000 timmars målmedveten träning viktigare än medfödd talang för att frambringa den yppersta idrottseliten? Ingen tror väl längre annat än att talang är en viktig förutsättning; för att återge Paul McCartneys syn på saken, ”I don’t think it’s a rule that if you do that amount of work, you’re going to be as successful as the Beatles”. Men träning är naturligtvis väl så centralt, och alltsedan människan började tävla, och det därmed blev möjligt och önskvärt att vinna, har träning varit en oundgänglig beståndsdel i allt mänskligt liv. Idrotten intar givetvis härvidlag en särställning; inget annat område är så genomsyrat av tävlande och vinnarinstinkt. Och idrottare tränar mycket, och har tränat mycket historiskt. En som ägnat idrottsträningens historia stor uppmärksamhet är Leif Yttergren, idrottshistoriker vid GIH, Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan i Stockholm. För ett par år sedan bar hans forskningsmödor frukt i form av boken Träna är livet: Träning, utbildning och vetenskap i svensk friidrott, 1880–1995 (idrottsfourm.org 2012). Det kändes mot den bakgrunden naturligt att engagera Leif när en recensionsbok med titeln Professionals, Amateurs and Performance: Sports Coaching in England, 1789–1914 dunsade ner på forumredaktionens disk. Författare till boken är Dave Day, känd idrottshistoriker och träningsforskare vid Manchester Metropolitan University. Vår recensent uppskattar som regel sina brittiska kollegers historieskrivande, om än med reservation för den ofta förekommande bristen på vetenskaplig fernissa, vilket dock inte vidhäftar Days bok i störande grad.
