Embodied socialisation of youth in a depopulation-affected rural environment
This article examines how embodied socialisation unfolds among youth growing up in a depopulation-affected rural environment in Sweden. Grounded in ecological niche theory and the concept of sociocultural affordances (SCAs), the analysis conceptualises embodied socialisation as a process shaped through the interaction of place, family and social institutions under specific sociohistorical conditions. Particular attention is given to how demograph…
Between regulations and creativity
Children have an inherent need for exploration, with movement functioning as a key modality through which they engage with and make sense of the world. Beyond supporting motor development, movement enables children to discover bodily capabilities and forge meaningful connections with their physical and social surroundings. As childhood in Western societies becomes increasingly institutionalised, children spend substantial time in schools, with sp…
Navigating the body’s double nature in a sedentary environment
The structuring of time and space in schools influences when children’s bodies should be active and when they should be still. The growing interest in physical activity interventions in schools today highlights a pattern where schools act as sites meant to regulate and educate children’s bodies according to adult-centric interests. Drawing on existential phenomenology, particularly the dual nature of the body as both object and subject, this arti…
Teachers’ experiences with physically inactive children and their strategies to promote physical activity in early childhood education settings
Objective: As an increasing number of children are identified as insufficiently physically active, the school environment has been targeted for efforts to promote physical activity (PA) among inactive children. While research has highlighted teachers’ role in promoting generic school-based daily PA, less is known about the early childhood education teachers’ experiences of physically inactive children and the strategies they use to promote PA. Th…
Implementing a free lending of sports and leisure equipment service
The study suggests LEL's success lies in its accessibility and that users identify with the brand of LEL. Users perceive LEL as a service catering to various recreational needs rather than sports, fostering inclusivity. The localization of stores in various types of areas, combined with high-quality products, enable children and young people from different socioeconomic areas to use the service. LEL's success hinges on maintaining a positive bran…
Children’s experiences of development in alternative sports programmes
Aim: As more children become increasingly physically inactive, efforts to reverse this negative trend are growing. Research has indicated, however, that we know relatively little about the pedagogical processes built into programmes and interventions. This is especially true in respect of how children view the process of becoming more physically active. This article therefore explores developmental processes as they unfold in the context of alter…
Sports and mobile imperatives in the lives of rural youths
This paper explores the mobility processes of rural youths in relation to sports. The mobility imperative has its basis in the fact that rural youths must be mobile to gain access to the resources they need to shape their lives and create their own identities. The mobility imperative is analysed as a constellation of interrelated processes in which material inequalities, symbolic hierarchies and entanglements between bodies and places interact in…
To deviate from the expected
Physically inactive children in rural areas are overlooked in research because of the dominance of urban perspectives focusing on physical activity rather than inactivity. The aim of this article is to examine an emerging collective story of how physically inactive children (aged 9–11 years) in two rural areas experience their relationships with physical activity. Based on praxis-oriented sociocultural theorising, this study focuses on how practi…
Being or becoming physically active
Few intervention programmes focussing on increasing physical activity among children have been successful long term. It has also become increasingly common among scholars as well as politicians to advocate for organisations within a field to 'join up' to tackle social challenges. Research indicates that collaborative processes may entail challenges in implementing programmes informed by high quality knowledge. The aim of this study was, therefore…
Let’s do those 60 minutes! Children’s perceived landscape for daily physical activity
In a scientific effort to understand the reasons for low physical-activity levels among children, there is a need to consider how children perceive and interact with their complex environments holistically. This study outlines an image of the perceived landscape within which children in two lower-socioeconomic contexts engage in daily physical activity. By applying bioecological perspectives (Bronfenbrenner, U. 2005. Making human Beings human: Bi…
