It explains how embodied approaches fit with existing theory in studies of sport and movement cultures and makes a compelling case for incorporating an embodied approach into the study of sporting practices and experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book adopts a multi-disciplinary lens, moving beyond the traditional dualism of body and mind, and incorporating the physical with the social and the psychological. It applies key theories that have shaped our thinking about the body and sport, and examines both the personal, subjective experience of sporting activities and those experiences involving engagement and contact with other people, in team sports for example. The book also explores the methodological implications of 'doing' embodied research, particularly in terms of qualitative approaches to sports research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by a team of leading international sports researchers, and packed with vivid examples from sporting contexts as diverse as surfing, fell running, korfball and disability sport, \u003ci\u003eResearching Embodied Sport \u003c\/i\u003eis fascinating reading for any advanced student or researcher working in the sociology of sport, physical cultural studies, physical education, body studies or health studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Wellard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138793442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138793446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Ian Wellard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065367867647,"sku":"9781138793446","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f6e8c21-2669-4181-99ad-3ed042709e6c.jpg?v=1768674737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/researching-embodied-sport-ian-wellard-9781138793446","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
