Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health Bodies Out of Sight

Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health Bodies Out of Sight

In today’s neoliberal times thinking about fitness and health is dominated by the media’s narratives of fit bodies which are presented and circulated in society as valued bodies. Outside that mainstream view however there are many people labeled bodies-at-risk: those who deviate from perceived norms of size shape race social class and gender. Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health draws attention to how neoliberal ideologies impacting the body overlook the intersection of class gender/sex and race that informs how young ethnic minoritized people embody and negotiate normative discourses of fitness and health. Indeed through the lens of critical race theory (CRT) post-feminism and postcolonialism Azzarito highlights young ethnic minoritized people’s struggles to find a culturally relevant sense of self. Arguing for the need to found educational spaces where young ethnic minoritized people can recognize themselves resist and counter-narrate negative stereotypes and self-represent to the public in affirmative ways Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as physical culture education sport sociology qualitative methods and cultural and visual studies as well as scholars and practitioners of physical education and health in schools. | Social Justice in Globalized Fitness and Health Bodies Out of Sight

The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry

The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry

The global health and fitness industry is worth an estimated $4 trillion. We spend $90 billion each year on health club memberships and $100 billion each year on dietary supplements. In such an industrial climate lax regulations on the products we are sold (supplements fad-diets training programs gadgets and garments) result in marketing campaigns underpinned by strong claims and weak evidence. Moreover our critical faculties are ill-suited to a culture characterized by fake news social media misinformation and bad science. We have become walking talking prey to 21st-Century Snake Oil salesmen. In The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science Nicholas B. Tiller confronts the claims behind the products and the evidence behind the claims. The author discusses what might be wrong with the sales pitch the glossy magazine advert and the celebrity endorsements that our heuristically-wired brains find so innately attractive. Tiller also explores the appeal of the one quick fix the fallacious arguments that are a mainstay of product advertising and the critical steps we must take in retraining our minds to navigate the pitfalls of the modern consumerist culture. This informative and accessible volume pulls no punches in scrutinizing the plausibility of and evidence for the most popular sports products and practices on the market. Readers are encouraged to confront their conceptualizations of the industry and by the book’s end they will have acquired the skills necessary to independently judge the effectiveness of sports-related products. This treatise on the commercialization of science in sport and exercise is a must-read for exercisers athletes students and practitioners who hope to retain their intellectual integrity in a lucrative health and fitness industry that is spiraling out-of-control. | The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry

Project Success and Quality Balancing the Iron Triangle

Project Success and Quality Balancing the Iron Triangle

Projects are inherently risky since they involve some level of uncertainty doing something new in the target environment but the percentage of projects seen as a success is still disappointingly low especially for IT projects. The ‘Iron Triangle’ of time/cost/quality suggests that all three aspects are equal but with quantitative methods for monitoring project performance the focus is primarily on managing cost and time. This book seeks to redress the balance explaining the rationale and benefits of focusing more on quality (fitness for purpose and conformance to requirements) before detailing a range of tools and techniques to support rebalancing the management of projects programmes and portfolios. It shows how managing project quality actively can reduce costs through minimising wastage and reduce delays through avoiding rework leading to improved project success rates and customer satisfaction. | Project Success and Quality Balancing the Iron Triangle

Femininity Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing

Femininity Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing

This book explores the phenomenon of pole dancing as an increasingly popular fitness and leisure activity for women. It moves beyond previous debates surrounding the empowering or degrading nature of pole dancing classes and instead explores the complexities of these concepts and highlights that women participating in this practice cannot be seen as one dimensional. Femininity Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing explores the construction negotiation and presentation of a gendered and classed identity and self through participation in pole dancing the meaning of pole dancing as a fitness practice for women and the concepts of community and friendship as developed through classes. Using empirical research the book uncovers the stories and experiences of the women who participate in these classes and examines what the mainstreaming of this type of sexualised dance means for the women who practice it. Pole dancing is shown to be a practice in which female identities are negotiated performed and enacted and this book positions pole dancing as an activity which both reinforces but also presents some challenge to ideas of feminism and femininity for the women that participate. Women's participation in pole dancing is described in a discourse of choice and control yet this book argues that the decision to participate is somewhat constructed by the advertising of these classes as enabling women to create a particular desirable self which is perpetuated throughout our culture as the ‘ideal’. Exploring the ways in which women attempt to manage impressions and present themselves as ‘respectable’ the book examines how women wish to dis-identify with both women who work as strippers and women who are feminist seeing both identities as contradictory to the feminine image that they pursue. The book explores the capacity of these classes to offer women some feelings of agency but challenges the idea that participating in pole dancing can offer collective empowerment. The book ultimately argues that women’s participation can be viewed both in terms of their active engagement and enjoyment of these classes and in terms of the structures and pressures which continue to shape their lives. This timely publication explores the complexity of the pole dancing phenomenon and highlights a range of questions surrounding this activity as a leisure form. It will be a valuable contribution to those interested in women’s and gender studies cultural studies feminism sociology and leisure studies.
