Researching Difference in Sport and Physical Activity goes beyond
the content of introductory research methods texts to provide an
insight into the methodological hurdles that are experienced when
researching 'difference' in Sport and Physical Activity.
Contributors reflect upon how the rhetoric of research methodology
transfers into the reality of data collection across 'difference'.
Presenting case studies of real research projects, the book covers
a range of topics, such as: disability in sport and physical
activity vulnerable children in sport and physical activity visual
research tools when working with children in a primary school
setting physical activity, sedentary behaviour and obesity through
childhood diverse ethnic groups in sport and physical activity
settings. Each chapter contends with practical issues of power and
representation within the research process, to recognise how a
researcher-participant relationship that considers those who are
'othered' serves to change the dynamics and processes of research.
This is an important resource for students of all sports related
subjects and essential reading for anyone interested in the study
of marginalised populations in sport and physical activity.
