Twitter, Facebook, online forums, blogs and websites - scholars are
increasingly turning to digital sources to study sport and physical
activity. These platforms have generated new digital content ripe
for analysis and are making it possible to investigate communities
that were previously inaccessible. However, they have also created
theoretical, methodological, practical and ethical challenges. This
book critically examines the opportunities open to qualitative
researchers working in digital spaces and offers novel insights
into how the rise of new technology is helping to shape sport
studies. Showcasing original research on emerging themes, trends
and issues such as digital sociology, media citizenship, online
gaming, Big Data, fitness apps and online fan cultures, this
collection leads the way in this fast-developing field of study. It
not only considers the possibilities and limitations of using
digital tools to conduct qualitative research into sport, but also
provides innovative examples of how researchers can adapt
successfully to ever-evolving technologies. Digital Qualitative
Research in Sport and Physical Activity is essential reading for
all students and scholars interested in the latest digital
developments in sport studies and research methods.
