Ethnographies In Sport And Exercise Research

This contemporary overview of the current state of ethnographic research and its application within sport and exercise, introduces and explains a range of well-established and emerging ethnographic approaches. Featuring a heavyweight line-up of sport and exercise researchers, it considers the methodological and theoretical aspects of ethnographic research; provides a series of chapter-length case studies, spanning sports from boxing to fell running and themes from gender to fandom; and, finally, considers future directions for ethnographic research, including an evaluation of its place in the expanding field of study in sport management.
