Beyond the Weight
This article critically examines how Physical Education has been reshaped by neoliberal and biomedical discourses that instrumentalise it as a response to the so-called obesity epidemic. Drawing on critical pedagogy and fat studies, we analyse how these frameworks expose the moralisation of health, the normalization of body surveillance, and the marginalization of fat and non-normative bodies in PE. We argue that framing PE as a response to obesi…
Sex testing in women's sport
The history of systemic, mandatory sex testing of all women athletes in sport is now well documented, with hundreds of articles, entire books, and doctoral dissertations analyzing the scientific, legal, and ethical aspects of sports governing bodies' determination to verify that competitors in the women's event were women and that men did not sneak into women's sports. A 30 July 2025 press release from World Athletics (WA), announcing changes to …
Doing Gender Online
This study explores how femininity and the female body are socially and culturally constructed within digital contexts, focusing on memes as sites of gendered meaning-making. Grounded in West and Zimmerman’s (Gend Soc 1(2):125–151, 1987. https://doi.org/10.1177/0891243287001002002 ) doing gender framework and informed by feminist theories of performativity (Butler in Gender trouble: feminism and the subversion of identity, Routledge, 1990) and di…
A Holistic Vision of the Academic and Sports Development of Elite Spanish Track and Field Athletes
This study shows that, to overcome dual-career barriers, athletes are resourceful if social support is provided at both the micro (coaches, families, etc.) and macro (political and educational institutions) levels. It also shows that pursuing an academic career can help in alleviating inherent tensions to athletic life and in finding personal balance
Study of an Anti-Doping Education Program in Spanish Sports Sciences Students
Online educational interventions can be effective in reducing doping behavior, so their future implementation among ASP can be an effective strategy to reduce doping behavior
Attitudes Toward Sexual Diversity in Sport Among Undergraduate Students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences in Spain
Sexual diversity in the world of sport has not been widely researched in the Spanish context. Studies on national and international sexual diversity tend to leave out transgender issues and intersexuality. The new framework of action of the International Olympic Committee in 2021 advocates for integration and non-discrimination based on gender identity and sex variations in sport. We analyzed attitudes toward sexual diversity in sport among a sam…
The End of Compulsory Gender Verification
Recently, the so-called Semenya case has brought the problem of gender in sports competitions back into the spotlight. But the fact is that it is not a unique case; rather, it seems a recurrent and inconclusive problem in the history of sports. In this context, the Spanish athlete Martínez-Patiño is an important figure in the history of sport and gender verification, as well as the Indian sprinter Dutee Chand. Martínez-Patiño’s story thus serves …
