Participatory Research in Sport and Physical Activity
Copenhagen consensus statements on workplace health enhancing physical activity programmes
Workplace health enhancing physical activity (HEPA) programmes are associated with physical activity promotion and reduction of sedentary time among employees. Whilst the workplace is often considered an appropriate setting for such programmes, however, ethical and implementation challenges remain. Furthermore, debate still exists concerning programme rationale, efficacy, effectiveness, and impact. In 2024, 24 researchers from twelve countries co…
Navigating Public Urban (Green) Space – An Analysis of Ethnic “Other” Women’s Walking Activities in Denmark
Globally, walking is the most popular leisure time physical activity (LTPA) among adults. Yet, navigating public spaces might pose distinct challenges for ethnic “Other” women, whose bodies and veiling practices have come under scrutiny in Western societies. Based on an ethnographic study of a walking group with ethnic “Other” women living in a deprived area of a Danish city, this article explores how the women negotiated being physically active …
CrossFit during lockdown. The promises and pitfalls of digitally mediated training for leisure-time physical activity
The COVID-19 pandemic led to nationwide lockdowns and rigid measures of social distancing in Denmark. Such a situation provides the unique opportunity to study interruptions in training routines and scrutinise the significance of physical attendance, face-to-face interactions and collective engagement for sport and leisure-time physical activity. Drawing on Randall Collins’ micro-sociological theory of ‘Interaction Ritual Chains’, this article fo…
Rethinking the Vulnerability of Groups Targeted in Health-Promoting Sports and Physical Activity Programs
Vulnerability and related terms are increasingly used to describe the target groups of health-promoting programs involving sports and physical activity. Yet, such terms are often left undefined, creating an image of vulnerability that reinforces the health inequities the programs seek to counter. This article aims to reconceptualize vulnerability to help researchers and program personnel describe and support individuals and groups in vulnerable p…
Women-only swimming as a space of belonging
The female Muslim body has come under close political and public scrutiny in many Western societies. Within sport, too, Muslim women’s dress and practices have become topics of discussion. For example, gender-segregated swimming sessions catering for Muslim women have caused disputes in several European countries, including Denmark. Nevertheless, the perspectives of participants are absent in such discussions and research about the significance o…
Swimming as self-care - A Foucauldian analysis of swimming for Danish Muslim women
This article scrutinises the highly contested, yet largely unexplored space of gender-segregated swimming that caters for Muslim women. Combining participant observation of weekly women-only swimming sessions with interviews of regular participants, the aim of this paper was to shed light on the 'non-White' space of women-only swimming and explore the lived experiences of Danish Muslim women within this specific setting. Drawing on a Foucauldian …

Sport in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic
These are extraordinary times. Less because we are currently in the midst of a global pandemic; \nhumanity has been here multiple times in the past, sometimes with even more devastating \nresults (the ‘Black Death’ of 1346–1353, or Cocolitzli Epidemics in the 16th \nCentury, for example). Rather, these are extraordinary times due to both the huge shutting \ndown of industry, travel and borders, and the enormous level of coverage and discussion \n…
Youth sport, migration and culture
Tilhørsforhold og danskhed. Debatten om kønsopdelt svømning
I 2016 og 2017 skabte kvindesvømning – et tilbud, der tiltrækker mest, men ikke udelukkende etniske minoritetskvinder – intens debat i hele Danmark. Denne artikel fokuserer på den politiske debat i Aarhus Byråd, der førte til en beslutning om, at der i kommunens svømmehaller ikke må være kønsopdelt svømning i den offentlige åbningstid. Formålet med artiklen er at undersøge, hvordan en fritidsaktivitet som kvindesvømning blev til et problem i 2016…
Enacting and resisting the politics of belonging through leisure. The debate about gender-segregated swimming sessions targeting Muslim women in Denmark
In 2016 women-only swimming sessions targeting Muslims made the headlines in the Danish media, precipitating great discussion about whether such sessions contributed to or impeded social integration. This article focuses on the debate in the city council of Aarhus concerning women-only swimming activities that had existed for 10 years and had been well attended. Yet, after a year of discussion, the city council voted for a municipality-wide ban o…
Too tired for exercise? The work and leisure of female cleaners in Denmark
The aim of this study was to explore the opportunities and challenges of female cleaners with regard to participation in leisure time physical activity (LTPA). We gained information about their everyday lives via semi-structured interviews with 25 women, most of them from rural Turkey. Drawing on the relevant literature on women’s work–life balance and (migrant) women’s participation in LTPA, we approached their work and leisure from an intersect…
Health messages, middle-aged women and the pleasure of play
Western societies glorify youth and consider middle age as the onset of deterioration. The prevalent discourses on middle-aged women focus primarily on negative developments in their lives such as increased health risks after menopause. Little is known, however, about the lived experiences of this age group. In this article, we share information about the health- and ageing-related attitudes of women aged 45–55 years who took part in a physical a…
Gender constructions and negotiations of female football fans. A case study in Denmark
While both the media and the academic literature focus primarily on male fans, in particular on violence and the prevention of hooliganism, little is known about female football supporters. This is also true of Denmark, a country that is known for its high degree of gender equality. This article aims to give insight into gender constructions and negotiations of female football fans in the stands. Drawing on a social constructivist perspective to …
Female fans of men’s football – a case study in Denmark
Football is an invention by men for men, and today, the majority of players and fans are men. There is an abundance of literature on football and fandom; however, gender is mostly not an issue in these publications. Research about female football supporters and fans is very limited. This is also true for Denmark, the country, which is the focus of this article. Based on gender and socialization theories, this contribution addresses women and thei…
