    A systematic review of quantitative studies concerning psychological aspects of early specialisation2023In: International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, ISSN 1612-197X, E-ISSN 1557-251XArticle in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Despite the intense and long-standing interest surrounding early sport specialisation, scholars still debate its nature and implications. Previous researchers have also identified the need for further research relating to the psychological aspects of early specialisation such as lower quality motivation, dropout and burnout. To help guide future research it is important to build upon the quantitative literature concerning such psychological aspects of early specialisation. The specific aims of this paper are to provide an overview of research results of quantitative studies that set out to explore relationships between early specialisation and psychological aspects, and to critically examine the designs of such studies. As such, study design characteristics including participant demographics, the psychological aspects represented, and the research questions and results are explored. Data searches were conducted in PubMed, SportDiscus, and PsychINFO using search terms such as "early sport speciali*". Twenty-one relevant papers met the inclusion criteria. The results highlight that the published papers in this area are broad in some respects (variety of sports, performance levels, and gender), but narrow in others (North American dominance, few psychological aspects explored, and few papers per psychological aspect). Many of the studies are based on cross-sectional and retrospective self-reports. Overall, this paper serves as a foundation on which to design future research studies in this area.

    An Index Approach to Early Specialization Measurement: An Exploratory Study.2020In: Frontiers in Psychology, E-ISSN 1664-1078, Vol. 11, article id 999Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The methodological underpinnings of studies into early specialization have recently been critiqued. Previous researchers have commented on the variety of, and over-simplified, methods used to capture early specialization. This exploratory study, therefore, suggests a new direction for how early specialization can be conceptualized and measured. We aim to create an index approach whereby early specialization is measured as a continuous variable, in line with commonly used definitions. The continuous variable for degrees of early specialization is calculated from a questionnaire which captures the four key components of early specialization; (1) intensity, (2) year-round training, (3) single sport, and (4) commencing age 12 or younger. The proposed index approach is illustrated in a sample of 290 Swedish aesthetic performers aged 12-20 years (M = 15.88), whose descriptive statistics are used to discuss the suitability and usability of the measure. The proposed index approach functions as a guideline to future researchers. We hope that introducing a new index approach we will encourage further discussion around the measurement of early specialization. Additionally, we hope to pave the way for future research to explore more complex research questions.

    Early specialisation among Swedish aesthetic performers: exploring motivation and perceptions of parental influence2022In: International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, ISSN 1612-197X, E-ISSN 1557-251X, Vol. 20, no 4, p. 1013-1032Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Early specialisation is largely advised against, partly due to the postulated negative motivational implications. However, early specialisation is commonly considered necessary for high-level performance in aesthetic activities, such as gymnastics and dance. The present study, therefore, explores the relationship between motivation and early specialisation in a sample of Swedish aesthetic performers, from a self-determination theory perspective. The aims of this study were twofold: (1) to identify whether early specialisation is associated with motivation (autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, and dropout intentions) within a sample of aesthetic performers, and (2) to investigate if such relationships are moderated by perceptions of parental influence. Two hundred and ninety high-level aesthetic performers (M=15.88 years old, SD=2.34; 83% female) were recruited from Swedish clubs and schools to complete a questionnaire pack. The questionnaire pack included questions concerning demographic information, specialisation history, motivation, dropout intentions, and perceptions of parental influence. The results of our analyses do not support the claims that early specialisation is associated with negative motivational implications. In fact, the results show that those who reported a higher degree of specialisation ≤ 12 years old reported less controlled motivation than those who reported a lesser degree of early specialisation. Additionally, perceptions of parental influence were not found to moderate the relationship between early specialisation and motivation. These results are discussed in relation to the growing critique regarding the conceptualisation and measurement of early specialisation in sport literature.

    Why did they continue? Female gymnasts’ reflections on early specialisation2022In: 16th European Congress of Sport & Exercise Psychology, 2022Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Previous research largely advises against early specialisation, due to possible physical and psychological risks (Côté, Lidor, & Hackfort,2009). For this study, we are interested in exploring gymnasts’ reflections of early specialisation in relation to motivation and autonomy.Despite limited empirical evidence, early specialisation is commonly considered necessary for high-level performance in aestheticactivities, such as gymnastics (Kliethermes et al., 2021). This study is one of the first to present qualitative data concerning experiencesof early specialisation, and the first known study to collect such data within female gymnasts.The research questions for this study are, 1) What motivated female gymnasts to remain in early specialised training? 2) How do theyreflect upon key specialisation milestones in relation to motivation and autonomy? and 3) How do they reflect upon the necessity of earlyspecialisation? The study is underway, with semi-structured interviews being conducted with female gymnasts aged 15-24 who selfreported a high degree of early specialisation. Specifically, those who reported reaching specialisation milestones at the youngest ageswere recruited from a database of 115 high-level gymnasts. The data will be analysed using abductive thematic analysis, where selfdetermination theory provides a framework to explore the interplay between early specialisation and motivation towards continuedparticipation in gymnastics.It is anticipated that the results will contribute valuable data regarding experiences of early specialisation, and how these experiencesmight influence motivation towards continued training. Such data also has the potential to shed light on the often-inconsistent quantitativeresults exploring motivational correlates of early specialisation.

    Pedagogiska perspektiv på idrott2002Collection (editor) (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    En rad viktiga frågor måste ställas om idrotten i vårt samhälle. Inte minst gäller det våra barns och ungdomars utveckling och uppfostran: Varför är idrott så populärt? Vilken betydelse har idrott i barns och ungdomars liv? Vad lär sig barnen under skolans idrottstimmar och i sina idrottsföreningar förutom att förbättra sin idrottsliga prestationsförmåga? Finns spontanidrotten kvar? Har flickor och pojkar från olika miljöer och samhällsklasser samma möjlighet att ägna sig åt idrotter och sporter under fritiden? Hur ska man förstå att vissa vuxna ägnar sig åt regelbunden motion och andra inte? Här ger elva författare sin syn på idrott som kulturfenomen och diskuterar vilka konsekvenser olika former av idrott, motion och friluftsliv får för människors lärande. I förgrunden står frågor om idrottens pedagogiska betydelse och hur idrotten har fogats in i det nutida uppfostringsprojektet. Denna bok vänder sig till studerande på utbildningar med en idrottslig inriktning samt till alla som är intresserade av idrott och idrottspedagogik ur ett samhällsvetenskapligt perspektiv.

    Logics of practice in movement culture: Lars-Magnus Engström’s contribution to understanding participation in movement cultures2018In: Sport, Education and Society, ISSN 1357-3322, E-ISSN 1470-1243, p. 892-904Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this article, we present a framework for exploring participation in and social stratification of movement culture based on Pierre Bourdieu?s concept logic of practice. The background to our approach is Lars-Magnus Engström?s struggle to understand the impact of social stratification on participation in movement culture in a now nearly fifty-year follow-up study. The aim of the article is to elaborate further a framework, which Engström drafted in one of his last publications. Here, we assume that participation in movement cultures is guided by a number of logics of practice that are historically, culturally and socially constituted, and which relate to people?s tastes in particular ways that lead to social stratification. These logics are grouped into three overarching kinds of practices: performing, improving and experiencing, which engender both practice and social stratification. Further, the different logics of practice are linked to a principle of uncertainty, which means that quantitative empirical data must be interpreted rather than measured in a strict sense. The here outlined framework suggests that future research about participation in movement culture needs to take into account information about the structure, rhythm and tempo of the practice, as well as of the directionality of the actions. Information about these issues can hopefully contribute to a more elaborated understanding of the impact of social stratification on participation in movement culture, and in what forms movements are pursued.

    The game within the game: Girls' underperforming position in Physical Education2012In: Gender and Education, ISSN 0954-0253, E-ISSN 1360-0516, Vol. 24, no 1, p. 101-118Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Since 1980 the Swedish compulsory school curriculum has stipulated that Physical Education (PE) should be taught co-ed and schools are legally required to promote gender equality. The latest evaluation of PE in Sweden shows that more boys than girls ranked the subject highly and that they had a higher level of activity during the PE lessons. Drawing on a case study, the aim of this article is to illuminate how games placed girls and boys in different subject positions. The logic governing the observed lessons was ‘proper game’, i.e. playing according to the official rules. Combined with hegemonic masculinity and the passivity of the teacher, this kind of logic resulted in the game being dominated by several dominant boys and by the ball-playing girls either being positioned or allowing themselves to be placed in situations in which they consistently underperformed. A gender category in late modernity, resting on hegemonic masculinity, can be seen as a cultural flashpoint that reflects problems in society rather than problems in the gym.

    Looks, Liveliness, and Laughter: Visual Representations in Commercial Sports for Children2023In: International Journal of Sport Communication, ISSN 1936-3915, E-ISSN 1936-3907, Vol. 6, no 2, p. 178-186Article in journal (Refereed)
    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.

    Commercialization processes within Swedish child and youth sport - a Deleuzioguttarian perspective2022In: Sport in Society: Cultures, Media, Politics, Commerce, ISSN 1743-0437, E-ISSN 1743-0445, Vol. 25, no 12, p. 2397-2414Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In the Nordic countries sport has a particular connection to civic society, and this is reflected in the Nordic governments 'sport for all' policies. The region also includes large voluntary non-profit sport organizations with an implicit monopoly on competitive sport. During the last decade scholars in Sweden have noted that commercial entrepreneurs have emerged in the child and youth sports landscape. However, empirical research on this phenomenon is scarce. Hence, in this article the aim is to map different commercial businesses and the services they offer on their websites. We make use of a Deleuzioguttarian inspired theory and method and a post-qualitative research practice, which is informed by an ontological (re)turn to realism(s) in social theory. We present four different commercial de-territorialization processes and discuss how they affect the Swedish Sport Confederation in different ways.

    Child and youth sports entrepreneurs on a commercial playing field – a positioning analysis

    This article examines how commercial sport entrepreneurs position themselves and their businesses in relation to Swedish voluntary youth club sport. The study investigates the various positions that entrepreneurs take in 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) the entrepreneurs 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 threat to the Swedish sport movement. But at the same time, they assert, in diverse ways, that their business surpasses those of sport clubs in terms of providing sport for children and youth. Furthermore, they appear to position their services towards selected families over others, operating within a framework in which child and youth sports are increasingly treated as a commodifiable entity in contemporary society.

    Selling youth sport: the production and promotion of immaterial values in commercialised child and youth sport2023In: Sport, Education and Society, ISSN 1357-3322, E-ISSN 1470-1243, p. 565-578Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The contexts in which young people participate in sport are diverse. In Scandinavia, as in many other countries, child and youth sport is mainly organised in non-profit, membership-based and voluntary driven sports clubs. In Sweden, this model is now challenged by commercial businesses providing child and youth sport services. The overall aim of this article is to provide empirically based knowledge about these ongoing and largely unexplored commercialisation processes. The focus of the article is to illuminate how commercial businesses produce immaterial values through the promotion of sport services. In this article, we have explored the cultural and social values produced and promoted by commercial businesses in youth sport. Drawing on the website communications of eight commercial businesses from four different commercial strands, we use the concept of immaterial labour to consider the values produced when child and youth sport is turned into a desirable product on the market. The values generated from the texts on the selected websites are the immaterial values of (i) competence, (ii) individually adjusted training and, (iii) happiness. These values are enunciated differently by the businesses in the different strands. We situate the findings in relation to western social and cultural values and discuss the potential consequences of these value productions for contemporary ideas about youth sport and the way it should be organised.

    The sceptic, the cynic, the women’s rights advocate and the constructionist: male leaders and coaches on gender equity in sport2020In: International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics, ISSN 1940-6940, E-ISSN 1940-6959, Vol. 12, no 3, p. 333-347Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Research about sport and gender equity has taken various forms in different historical and scientific contexts but a general conclusion is that sport still is male-dominated terrain. Why is this, despite decades of gender equity work and initiatives? Here, answers were sought through interviews with 47 male power holders - leaders and coaches - in Swedish sport. Men from seven sports were interviewed. The aim was to, by means of a Foucauldian discourse analysis, explore how 'gender equity' was interpreted and valued: how do the leaders and coaches position themselves, and how are they positioned, in relation to gender equity? The findings show that four subject positions are articulated: the sceptic, the cynic, the women's rights advocate and the constructionist. The sceptic raises doubts about the reasonableness and fairness of gender equity, the cynic constructs gender equity as something unrealistic or impossible, the women's rights advocate articulates a semi-essential and quantitatively oriented support for gender equity, and the constructionist voice a norm-critical approach. We conclude that the constructionist probably is more aligned with the gender equity objectives of both Swedish and international sport organising bodies than the women's rights advocate, but that more distinct and detailed norm-critical approaches to gender equity are required ahead. A more successful implementation of gender equity initiatives is related to changed interpretations of and attitudes towards the fundamentals of gender equity work among those who are to realise it, but also to clarifications of what 'gender equity' means and why it is important.

    Abstract [en]

    Gender(ed) patterns in Swedish school physical education and health: a problem of equity?

    In the spring of 2009 the Swedish National Agency of Education commissioned the physical education and sport pedagogy research group at the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences in Stockholm to survey and problematize girls' and boys' conditions in Swedish physical education and health (PEH). The overarching theme of this symposium is to present the results from this project and to discuss different kinds of factors that influence gender equity in PEH.

    Gender and gender equity in PEH has been on the research agenda both in Sweden and in other countries for several decades, in particular the masculine and heteronormative character of the subject. What is specific, and perhaps new, about this project is that it takes its starting point in statistical data about 15-16 year old girls' and boys' distribution of grades, parents' educational level, and students' and parents' place of birth (Sweden/not Sweden). The Swedish National Agency of Education (SNAE) has access to statistics from every Swedish school about this kind of information.

    The project consist of three studies:

    -                    a survey, where questionnaires were sent to 350 secondary schools to be answered by a PEH teacher (with questions about aims and content of PEH teaching, gender equity, assessment, etc.);

    -                    an interview study with 17 PEH teachers in mid-Sweden (focusing on how teachers reason about their subject and about gender equity issues in the subject);

    -                    an observation study of PEH lessons with 6 classes at different schools in a big-city area (focusing possible relation between the school’s socio-economic and ethnic conditions, gender patterns during class, and content and organisation of PEH teaching)

    The survey study has added information from teachers about PEH teaching that can be related to the previously mentioned statistical information about the pupils and the distribution of grades. The teachers and classes participating in the interview and observations studies were selected based on the same statistical information. Each paper to be presented at the symposium will deal with one of the three studies.

    Challenging Gender in Physical Education: A queer lens on PE teaching2011In: SVEBIS årsbok : aktuell beteendevetenskaplig idrottsforskning, ISSN 0284-4672, p. 27-48Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Gender structures have proven to be difficult to challenge within physical education. Despite increased research based knowledge about the relative dominance of boys and of a teaching dominated by traditional sports and physical exercise, little is done in order to change this situation. This might be due to a lack of critical perspectives among researchers and teachers. The aim of this paper is to outline a perspective that might be able to produce new ways of conceptualising and understanding what is happening in terms of gender power relations in physical education classes. We term this perspective queer, hence indicating a subversive perspective that can challenge the complementary perspective on gender that is at present dominating within the subject. From a queer point of view, much of the attempts to 'adjust' the conditions for girls and boys turn out to be reinforcing a traditional gender order, where boys are 'naturally' physically gifted while girls rather 'lie low' during class.

    Leve idrottspedagogiken!: en vänbok tillägnad Lars-Magnus Engström2005Collection (editor) (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 främsta 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 deltagande 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 fyrtio 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.

    Mellan nytta och nöje: bilder av ämnet idrott och hälsa2004Collection (editor) (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Skolans ämne idrott och hälsa är omdebatterat. I takt med att fler och fler uppmärksammar att många unga rör sig för lite, ökar intresset för hur ämnet borde vara upplagt och hur mycket idrott och hälsa eleverna borde ha. Att ämnet är föremål för ett utbrett tyckande innebär inte att det också har studerats i lika hög grad. Det finns därför ett stort behov av en mer ingående belysning och kritisk granskning av ämnet idrott och hälsa.

    I Mellan nytta och nöje ger nio författare sin bild av ämnet i den svenska grundskolan. Texterna baseras på den omfattande studien Skola-Idrott-hälsa, i vilken närmare 2000 barn i skolår 3, 6 och 9 ingick. Bokens olika kapitel belyser ämnets historiska bakgrund, lärares och elevers syn på och inställning till ämnet idag, samt arbetet med lokala kursplaner och styrningen av ämnet. Författarna är forskare och lärare vid Idrottshögskolan och Lärarhögskolan i Stockholm. De ingår också i den forskningsgrupp för pedagogik, idrott och fritidskultur som leds av Lars-Magnus Engström.

    Boken riktar sig till alla som är intresserade av ämnet idrott och hälsa, till exempel lärarstuderande och lärarutbildare, verksamma lärare, skolledare samt politiker med ansvar för frågor rörande skola, idrott och hälsa.

    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 emphasize 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 emphasized 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.

    Moving (in) the heterosexual matrix.: On heteronormativity in secondary school physical education2011In: Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, ISSN 1740-8989, E-ISSN 1742-5786, Vol. 16, no 1, p. 67-81Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Studies on heteronormativity in PE either appear to have explored the experiences of and conditions for non-heterosexual students, or adopt a retrospective point of view. Further, the relation between heteronormativity and movement and how movement activities embody social norms and values related to gender and sexuality has not been explored in depth.Purpose: To explore the relation between movement and heteronormativity in PE as experienced by the students.

    Participants, setting and research design: The study is based on interviews with 24 students, aged 15 and 16 years and living in a big city area in Sweden. Each student was interviewed on three occasions, immediately following PE lessons visited by the researchers.

    Data collection: The interviews revolved around: (1) the students' social situation; (2) their sporting habits and interests; (3) their views about PE (aims, content, teaching methods, learning, assessment and grading); (4) their views of girls' and boys' conditions in PE; and (5) their views about body and movement.

    Data analysis: A discourse analysis was conducted, based on the interview as a whole, namely the interviewer's questions and comments and the interviewees' responses and possible counter-questions. Particular interest was directed towards linguistic regularities relating to norms and ideas about gender and sexuality.

    Findings: Heteronormativity conditions the way in which girls and boys (feel they can appropriately) engage in a certain movement activity and still be viewed as 'normal'. In the PE classes we visited, being recognised as a 'normal' or straight girl presupposed a feminine appearance, a good coordinative and rhythmic ability, self-confidence in relation to partner dancing, and conversely, a lack of self-confidence and a reluctance to appear aggressive and competitive in connection with ball games. Boys who adopt that position might be apprehended as 'effeminate' or 'poofs' – unless they have some kind of status marker that can serve as a heterosexual alibi, like being popular and athletic. Being recognised as a 'normal' or straight boy presupposed a masculine appearance and confidence, i.e. aggressive and competitive behaviour, in team ball games. Girls who occupy that position might be perceived as 'butch' or 'manly' (perhaps as lesbians?) if they do not, correspondingly, have some kind of marker that can serve as a heterosexual alibi. This might include having a feminine appearance.

    Conclusions: Since heteronorms are embodied in and through movement, any attempt to challenge the heteronormative culture of PE teaching would have to carefully consider which kinds of activities to include in the PE curriculum, and to make it possible for the students to move in new ways. Such a strategy would include a critically reflexive approach among PE teachers towards the conventional endeavour to make the teaching 'work' without too much emphasis on exploring how students experience different physical activities.

    Abstract [sv]

    Rapporten utgör resultatet av en uppföljning av satsningarna inom Idrottslyftet i idrotterna badminton, bordtennis, fotboll och volleyboll. Uppföljningen har genomförts av tre forskare från Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH, i Stockholm på uppdrag av Riksidrottsförbundet (RF). Samtliga RF:s medlemsförbund fick möjlighet att anmäla sitt intresse för att ingå i uppföljningen. De förbund som visade intresse fördelades på sex forskargrupper från lärosäten i landet med idrottsvetenskaplig verksamhet.

    Rapporten inleds med några allmänna ord om Idrottslyftet, vad vår uppföljning går ut på och hur den har genomförts. Därefter följer ett avsnitt om RF:s riktlinjer när det gäller barn- och ungdomsidrott. På detta följer ett kapitel om var och en av de i uppföljningen ingående idrotterna badminton, bordtennis, fotboll och volleyboll avseende hur man ser på och har arbetat med Idrottslyftets intentioner när det gäller 1) att öppna dörrarna för fler och utveckla verksamheten så att fler väljer att fortsätta idrotta, 2) jämlikhet och jämställdhet och 3) Idrotten vill. Därtill har vi undersökt hur man inom de fyra förbunden ser på administrationen av satsningen. Rapporten avslutas med en jämförande analys av idrottslyftssatsningarna inom dessa idrotter och några slutsatser och reflektioner kring arbetet med satsningen.

    (Re)presenting equestrian histories—storytelling as a method of inquiry.2016In: Sport, Education and Society, ISSN 1357-3322, E-ISSN 1470-1243, Vol. 21, no 1, p. 82-95Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Responding to calls about the need to ‘give voice’ to groups previously marginalized in research and to challenge meta-narratives about men in sports this paper explores the use of a narrative approach to illuminate men's experiences—and the doing of gender—within equestrian sports, a sport dominated by women in Sweden. Adopting the position of a storyteller three literary short-stories were constructed from interviews with men active in equestrianism. (Re)presenting research findings in this way evoke a lot of questions in academic circles. We have often been askedhowthe stories were constructed and how one judges whether they are representative and trustworthy. These are legitimate questions, no doubt. But questions that are of importance to all qualitative research. It is as if the writing of stories is some kind of mysterious abracadabra activity and not a deliberate and theoretically informed creative process. While reading critique of narrative ways to (re)present research findings, where some researchers suggest that narrative inquiry is a retreat from the difficult academic work of generating new and important ideas, our assumption is that it stems from this misunderstanding about story writing. And maybe the construction of stories has not been given enough attention in narrative research. The purpose of this article is therefore to illustrate the difficult but inspiring activity of transforming 19 interviews into literary short-stories and to highlight methodological concerns relating to presenting these stories. We also demonstrate that creative analytical writing is not just a way of presenting research findings but also a method of inquiry. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

    Heteronormativiteten och dess sprickor: iscensättningar av kön och sexualitet inom idrotten2009In: SVEBIS årsbok, ISSN 0284-4672, p. 103-124Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Drawing on data from qualitative interviews with ten homo- or bisexual female athletes, the aim of the study was to investigate how norms connected to gender and sexuality were produced and reproduces in six team sports within the Swedish sports movements. Central questions were: What experiences do homo- or bisexual women have of everyday sporting activities? How are norms on sex and sexuality visible? Are these norms ever challenged? The results indicate that heteronormative discourses mainly are confirmed in everyday activities. The structure of sports, with its clear division between women and men and its strong connection to masculinity, seems to result either in a positive or a negative environment for homo- or bisexual female athletes. On the one hand sport was characterized by strict norms on sex and sexuality, homophobic tendencies, discrimination and insulting behaviours, and on the other hand it was experienced as a free zone, where norms on sex and sexuality were challenged and less firm than in society at large.

    Some early and later female pioneers in physical education, dance and sports in Sweden: three different portraits2016In: Inspirational Women in Europe: Making a difference in Physical Education, Sport and Dance / [ed] Rosa Diketmüller, Juiz de Fora: NGIME/UFJF , 2016, p. 86-124Chapter in book (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    According to the latest Gender Gap Report by the World Economic Forum, Sweden is one of the most equal countries in the world (www.weforum.org). The equality is described by for example the proportion of women working outside the home and their economical distribution. The Swedish parliament has also one of the world’s highest representation numbers of women parliament members. To be able to understand this development of equality, factors like a long period with a social democracy government and a strong popular movement are often put forward as explanations for the Swedish gender policy development. But an unproven hypothesis is also that the early education of both men and women in bodily exercise and physical activity played a role in this development. The purpose of this chapter is to pay attention to three Swedish women who, through their engagement in physical culture and sports in different time periods, made difference to the lives for girls and women. The first pioneer, Martina Bergman Österberg, established a female Physical Education Teaching Training Program (PETE), the second, Ann Elefalk, broke the way for female coaches in a male dominated sport and the third Cecilia Dahlgren brought dance into compulsory schools in Sweden. The three portraits differ, but together they illustrate how education, passion and strategies can move mountains.

    PE teacher’s talk about girls and boys in Physical Education and Health in a Swedish context

    Jane Meckbach, Håkan Larsson, Suzanne Lundvall & Karin Redelius, The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, Stockholm 

    Statistics from the Swedish National Agency of Education (SNAE) reveal that Physical Education and Health (PEH) is the only subject where boys receive higher grades than girls. Previous research indicate that the subject “in practice” is constituted in a sports discourse (in contrast to the health discourse that constitutes the national curriculum for PEH) and that teaching in PEH is conducted on boys’ terms. According to the latest national evaluation of the subject, teaching in PEH is dominated by ball games and fitness training, activities that most boys and some of the girls favour. The overall aim of the symposium is to study girls' and boys' conditions in Swedish PEH. The purpose of this particular presentation is to look upon factors related to PEH teachers´ ways of reasoning about aims, teaching and assessment in the subject, and their view of equity issues.

    17 PEH teachers from schools in the region of Stockholm and Lake Mälaren were selected for interviews. The selection was based on statistics from SNAE presented in the symposium overview. There were four selection criteria: that the school had: 

    -   a high share of students (boys or girls) acquiring Passed with special distinction (the highest grade) in PEH,

    -  a high share of students that did Not pass in PEH,

    -  an equal share of girls and boys acquiring Passed with special distinction in PEH,

    -  an unequal share of boys and girls acquiring Passed with special distinction in PEH (boys or girls acquiring the highest grade).

    Our analytical framework is inspired by Pierre Bourdieu. Through the interviews we want to highlight the logic of PEH in the eyes of PEH teachers and what they assign value in the subject, and how they reason about girls and boys – and girls’ and boys’ conditions – in relation to how they describe their subject.

    The results from the interviews suggest that teachers from schools with a high share of students acquiring Passed with special distinction in PEH seem to focus a lot on learning processes and their students’ reflections about what they learn. These teachers depicted their students as ‘sporty types’. They also seem well aware about gender issues in PEH.

    Teachers from schools with a high share of students that did Not pass in PEH report that many students are frequently absent and that a lot of those who fail to pass cannot swim. Gender issues seem not to be of primary concern to these teachers, and the teachers seem to focus on keeping the students active (they are activity oriented).

    Teachers from schools with an equal share of girls and boys acquiring Passed with special distinction in PEH seem to reason about the subject and girls’ and boys’ conditions in the subject in the same way as the teachers in the first category. They seem to be aware of gender issues in the subject, they are task oriented (rather than activity oriented) and they include activities that are often left out by other teachers (e.g. creative movements).

    Teachers from schools with an unequal share of boys and girls acquiring Passed with special distinction in PEH depict their students as ‘sporty types’. They seem, however, not to reflect upon equity issues to the same extent as the teachers in the previous category.

    It must be emphasised that these findings also mirror the general social conditions of the schools in question. In effect, PEH teachers working in schools with a lot of the students having a privileged social background seem to emphasise learning processes and equity issues more than those working in schools with a lot of students with a less privileged background. In effect, gender equity issues can, paradoxically, be described as something of the icing of the cake in PEH.

    Abstract [en]

    This paper outlines a method for exploring learning in educational practice. The suggested method combines an explicit learning theory with robust methodological steps in order to explore aspects of learning in school physical education. The design of the study is based on sociocultural learning theory, and the approach adds to previous research within the field, both in terms of the combination of methods used and the claims made in our studies. The paper describes a way of collecting and analysing the retrieved data and discusses and illustrates the results of a study using this combination of explicit learning theory and robust methodological steps.
