In recent years, qualitative research has gained popularity and legitimacy in sport and exercise psychology. However, this scientific discipline has not yet paid attention to postqualitative inquiry (PQI), despite the possibilities it offers for producing different knowledge and producing knowledge differently. The present article is the first attempt to rectify this lack of attention by offering a brief and partial sketch of PQI in the context of sport and exercise psychology. To start with, three of the basic propositions that enable PQI are described. These are: adopt a posthumanist view of ontology and the subject; engage with poststructuralism (necessarily) and new materialism (possibly); and think with concepts. Potential reasons for turning to PQI are then highlighted. Following from this, some perils and horizons for PQI are identified and discussed. The article concludes by presenting several reflections and recommendations to facilitate a progressive introduction of PQI in sport and exercise psychology.
