E-Sports y brecha de género: la percepción de las profesionales españolas
2019
The present paper aims to identify the causes of under-representation of women in E-sports. According to a genre perspective, interest in videogames at the amateur level is quite similar. However, in its professional level, female participation becomes very limited. The fact that physical effort is irrelevant (a requirement for ?traditional sports?) could be considered a variable that would negatively affect greater to equality in the conditions of access and participation of women in electronic sports. Against any predictions, the data on the presence of women are elocuent: few women, with much lower wages than men to remunerate same skills, and a general complaint by the female profession…
Health promoting sports federations : theoretical foundations and guidelines

Methods: A qualitative iterative study was undertaken, based on five 2-h meetings of a group of 15 international researchers in HP in sports clubs. Notes and minut…

Julkiset palvelutuotantotehtävät suomalaisten liikuntaseurojen muodonmuutosten lähteenä
2022
Suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa kansalaistoimijoilla on aina ollut merkittävä asema väestön hyvinvoinnin ja sosiaalisen turvallisuuden tuottamisessa. Viime vuosina julkinen sektori on kuitenkin pyrkinyt laajentamaan muiden yhteiskuntasektorien toimijoiden, kuten liikunta- ja urheiluseurojen, osallistumista kansalaisten palvelutuotantoon. Tarkastelemme artikkelissa, (1) millaisiin julkisten palvelujen tuotantotehtäviin liikuntaseurat ovat olleet valmiita sitoutumaan ja (2) miten tehtävät ovat muuttaneet seuratoimintaa. Lähestymme tutkimusaihettamme vertailemalla kahdeksaa julkiseen palvelutuotantoon paikallisesti sitoutunutta liikuntaseuraa. Tutkimusaineistomme koostuu tapaustutkimusseurojen to…
How do sports clubs contribute to health? From theory to interventions
2022
The symposium presents last findings on health promotion interventions in sports clubs. After a short introduction about the health promoting sports clubs (HPSC), five presentations (France, Sweden, Ireland, Finland and Netherlands) will reflect upon how sports clubs can be health promoting: in theory, from youth perspectives, by increasing physical activity level as outcome or enhancing sustainability of interventions, before opening the discussion with academic experts. Presentation 1 describes an iterative international process, implicating three groups (French sport students, French and Swedish experts) to create an intervention theory, based on the HPSC model. Presentation 2 focuses on…
