The ‘weight’ of stories for disrupting body discourses among PE and sport science university students
This paper explores how dominant obesity and health discourses shape preservice physical education (PE) and sport science university students’ understandings of fatness, health and their future professional roles. Little is known about how preservice PE and sport science students negotiate such discourses and project them into their professional future. The study employed a narrative pedagogical activity based on an autoethnographic story address…
Theory of planned behaviour on physical activity among Hong Kong university students: A cross-sectional study considering gender and living arrangement
Physical activity (PA) rates decrease as students' progress through their academic journey, with the steepest decline observed in the transition from high school to university. In Hong Kong, PA participation rates among university students are concerningly low, varying by sex and residence. The present study utilised the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to explain PA intention and behaviour in Hong Kong university students. Participants were 402…
Urban cycling: A non-linear analysis of transport amenities and socio-demographic and health variables
Bicycle use in urban environments is a feasible and beneficial alternative to motor vehicles. However, in Spain, bicycles are used less than other means of transport. This study aimed to predict cycling in urban settings through the presence of cycling facilities and car or public transport options around residences, as well as sociodemographic characteristics, perceived health, and physical activity levels of residents in the four most populated…
A mixed-methods study for understanding the motives of trans persons’ participation in leisure-time physical activity and sport
The primary objective of this mixed-methods study was to identify andcomprehensively understand the motives that drive trans people toengage in leisure-time physical activities and sports (LTPAS). In the quan-titative phase, face-to-face surveys were administered to 155 Spanishtrans persons [64 women (TW), 84 men (TM), and 7 non-conforming binarygender participants (NBG)]. The qualitative phase included 43 semi-structured interviews (21 TW, 17 TM…
“It’s Your Word Against Mine”: A Case Study of Gender Negotiation in a Spanish School
Although a number of laws, protocols and plans have been passed in Spain in the last 10 years to support gender diversity in education, they still have not been fully implemented in schools. In this paper we describe the case of Arturo, a trans boy, and the various negotiations he went through in his secondary school for 2 years. We used a thematic analysis to identify the negotiations involving educational staff, teachers and students based on 6…
Shaping (queer) orientations: Affective experiences and professional changes of a transgender and intersex teacher in physical education
Research on LGBTQIA+ topics in sport and physical education have painted a dim view of inclusivity for the field. Research with LGBT physical educators has illustrated many challenges, discriminatory behaviours as well as complexities of being queer in schools. To date, there is little research on the experiences of transgender and intersex physical educators. Using a queer phenomenological lens, the authors explored the affective experiences and…

It is Not Even My Body”: Trans Persons Experiencing Body Borders
The body is at the forefront of the relationship between space and sexuality, and its materiality is the basis on which social and individual conceptions of sex and gender are constructed. In this paper, we use the notion of body borders to approach the way trans persons experience heteronormativity in their bodies. Defined as those elements placed on body physicality that produce social distinctions and reorganize people's social conditions, bod…
Effects of meteorology on bike-sharing: Cases of 13 cities using non-linear analyses
Bike-sharing system (BSS) provides bicycle rental services for short-term use. The association of BSS with meteorological factors has not been studied sufficiently using nonlinear analysis. To bridge these gaps, this study explored the impact of meteorological conditions on bike-sharing system (BSS) usage in 13 cities in Europe and North America, using a combination of nonlinear analyses to avoid the limitations of linear analyses used traditiona…
Who changed and who maintained their urban bike-sharing mobility after the Covid-19 outbreak? A within-subjects study
The COVID-19 pandemic has remarkably impacted urban mobility. All non-essential movements were restricted in Valencia (Spain) to contain the virus. Thus, the transport usage patterns of Valencia's bike-sharing system (BSS) users changed during this emergency situation. The primary objective of this study was to analyse the behaviour patterns of BSS users in Valencia before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, specifically those who maintained or chan…
Harassment disparities and risk profile within lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Spanish adult population: Comparisons by age, gender identity, sexual orientation, and perpetration context

Capturing the multidimensionality of motivation in physical education: A self-organizing maps approach to profiling students
This study aimed to capture the multidimensionality of adolescents’ motivation in the physical education (PE) setting, within self-determination theory, by employing self-organizing maps (SOM) analysis.

Volunteering for Research in Prison: Issues of Access, Rapport and Ethics and Emotions During Ethnography
Gaining access to formal institutions can be problematic for ethnographers. This is especially so when it comes to prisons where people are incarcerated by the state against their will for various crimes committed by them. Here, in such highly controlled environments, some authors have pointed out the lack of openness of correctional facilities to inquiry and the limited cooperation forthcoming from the various authorities that oversee them. Acco…

Exploring Trans People’s Narratives of Transition: Negotiation of Gendered Bodies in Physical Activity and Sport
This paper explores how trans people who make transitions negotiate their gendered bodies in different moments of this process, and how their narrative storylines are emplotted in physical activity and (non)organized sports (PAS) participation. A qualitative semi-structured interview-based study was developed to analyze the stories of eight trans people (three trans women, two trans men, and three nonbinary persons) who participated in PAS before…
Environmental Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity among University Students with Physical Disability—A Qualitative Study in Spain

Drawing on semi-structured interviews with older adolescents, this article examines how healthism, ideal body discourses and performative body discourses influence their (non)participation in physical activity (PA) and their identity construction concerning exercise, sport and physical education. We illustrate that body transformation through PA, and related slim body desire and the fear of masculinised female bodies, affect adolescents’ decision…
