The sensory revolution in the social sciences is transforming the
ways in which the senses and the sensorium are studied and
understood in relation to bodies in action. This is the first book
to investigate the impact, and challenges, of this revolution for
those interested in physical culture. Providing vivid examples of
sensory scholarship in action from sport, physical activity,
leisure and recreation, this book brings together leading figures
to discuss how we go about seeking the senses, how we engage in
somatic work, and how we create meanings and come to understand
ourselves and others as embodied beings in a variety of social
settings over time. Featuring original reflections on athletics,
running, cycling, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, glow sports, jiu
jitsu, mixed martial arts and yoga, this ground breaking collection
showcases the latest sensory research in physical culture as well
as paving the way both conceptually and methodologically for future
work in this area. Seeking the Senses in Physical Culture: Sensuous
scholarship in action is fascinating reading for all those
interested in physical cultural and body studies; the sociology,
psychology and philosophy of sport; leisure and recreation studies;
and physical education.
This work analyzes the context of post-compulsory education and
training through the stories of ten young people entering the world
of youth training in Britain. In their re-examination of the ways
in which young people make career decisions, the stories are
grounded in policies emphasizing individual responsibility for
education and training in a market built around neutral careers
guidance. The book aims to show that current debates about
education and training are often based on false assumptions about
how people behave and interact with each other, and to help the
reader understand the actions and perceptions of the young people
in their care, as well as to reflect on his/her own professional
practice.
Qualitative forms of inquiry are a dynamic and exciting area within
contemporary research in sport, exercise and health. Students and
researchers at all levels are now expected to understand
qualitative approaches and be able to employ them in their work. In
this comprehensive and in-depth introductory text, Andrew C.
Sparkes and Brett Smith take the reader on a journey through the
entire qualitative research process that begins with the
conceptualization of ideas and the planning of a study, moves
through the phases of data collection and analysis, and then
explains how findings might be represented in various ways to
different audiences. Ethical issues are also explored in detail, as
well as the ways that the goodness of qualitative research might be
judged by its consumers. The book is based on the view that
researchers need to make principled, informed and strategic
decisions about what, why, when, and how to use qualitative forms
of inquiry. The nature of qualitative research is explained in
terms of both its core assumptions and what practitioners actually
do in the field when they collect data and subject it to analysis.
Each chapter is vividly illustrated with cases and examples from
published research, to demonstrate different qualitative approaches
in action and their relative strengths and weaknesses. The book
also extends the boundaries of qualitative research by exploring
innovative contemporary methodologies and novel ways to report
research findings. Qualitative Research Methods in Sport, Exercise
and Health is essential reading for any student, researcher or
professional who wishes to understand this form of inquiry and to
engage in a research project within a sport, exercise or health
context.

The last two decades have witnessed a proliferation of qualitative
research in sport and exercise. The Routledge Handbook of
Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise is the first book to
offer an in-depth survey of established and emerging qualitative
methods, from conceptual first principles to practice and process.
Written and edited by a team of world-leading researchers, and some
of the best emerging talents, the book introduces a range of
research traditions within which qualitative researchers work. It
explores the different methods used to collect and analyse data,
offering rationales for why each method might be chosen and
guidance on how to employ each technique successfully. It also
introduces important contemporary debates and goes further than any
other book in exploring new methods, concepts, and future
directions, such as sensory research, digital research, visual
methods and how qualitative research can generate impact.
Cutting-edge, timely and comprehensive, the Routledge Handbook of
Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise is an essential
reference for any student or scholar using qualitative methods in
sport and exercise-related research.
