Digital Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Activity (Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Activity)
by Andrea BundonTwitter, Facebook, online forums, blogs and websites – scholars are increasingly turning to digital sources to study sport and physical activity. These platforms have generated new digital content ripe for analysis and are making it possible to investigate communities that were previously inaccessible. However, they have also created theoretical, methodological, practical and ethical challenges. This book critically examines the opportunities open to qualitative researchers working in digital spaces and offers novel insights into how the rise of new technology is helping to shape sport studies. Showcasing original research on emerging themes, trends and issues such as digital sociology, media citizenship, online gaming, Big Data, fitness apps and online fan cultures, this collection leads the way in this fast-developing field of study. It not only considers the possibilities and limitations of using digital tools to conduct qualitative research into sport, but also provides innovative examples of how researchers can adapt successfully to ever-evolving technologies. Digital Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Activity is essential reading for all students and scholars interested in the latest digital developments in sport studies and research methods.

Digital Technologies and Learning in Physical Education: Pedagogical cases
by Ashley Casey, Victoria A. Goodyear and Kathleen M. ArmourThere is evidence of considerable growth in the availability and use of digital technologies in physical education. Yet, we have scant knowledge about how technologies are being used by teachers, and whether or how these technologies are optimising student learning. This book makes a novel contribution by focusing on the ways in which teachers and teacher educators are attempting to use digital technologies in PE. The book has been created using the innovative ‘pedagogical cases’ framework. Each case centres on a narrative, written by a PE practitioner, explaining how and why technology is used in their practice to advance and accelerate learning. Each practitioner narrative is then analysed by a team of experts from different disciplines. The aim is to offer a multi-dimensional understanding of the possibilities and challenges of supporting young people’s learning with digital technologies. Each case concludes with a practitioner reflection to illustrate the links between theory, research and practice. Digital Technologies and Learning in Physical Education encourages critical reflection on the use of technologies in PE. It is an essential resource for students on physical education, kinesiology or sport science courses, practitioners working in PE or youth sport, and researchers interested in digital technologies and education.
Digital Technology in Physical Education: Global Perspectives (Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport)
by Jeroen Koekoek Ivo Van HilvoordeThe rapid development of digital technologies has opened up new possibilities for how Physical Education is taught. This book offers a comprehensive, practice-oriented and critical exploration of the actual and potential applications of digital technologies in PE. It considers the opportunities that are offered by new technologies and how they may be best implemented to enhance the learning process. Including contributions from the US, UK, Europe, Canada and New Zealand, this international collection reflects on how digital innovations are shaping PE pedagogy in theory and practice across the globe. Its chapters identify core pedagogical principles – rather than simply discussing passing digital fads – and offer practical narratives, case studies and reflections on how PE practitioners can introduce technology into teaching and learning through the use of social media, video gaming, virtual reality simulation, iPads and Wiki platforms. Digital Technology in Physical Education: Global Perspectives is a valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners of PE looking to integrate digital technology into their work in a way that does justice to the complexity of teaching and learning.

Digital Wellness, Health and Fitness Influencers: Critical Perspectives on Digital Guru Media (Routledge Critical Leisure Studies)
by Stefan LawrenceThis book examines the phenomenon of ‘digital guru media’ (DGM), the self-styled online influencers, life coaches, experts and entrepreneurs who post on the themes of wellness, health and fitness. It opens up new perspectives on digital leisure and internet celebrity culture, and asks important questions about the social, cultural and psychological implications of our contemporary relationship with digital media. Drawing on cutting-edge social theory, the book explores a wide range of contexts in which DGM intersects with digital leisure, from the health-related learning of young people to the ‘clean eating’ movement, to the online lives of fitness professionals. It asks if digital and social media are problematic per se and explores the problems a turn to the Internet could be revealing about the lack of real-world or analogue support, as well as potential solutions, for our wellness, health and fitness needs and wants. Bringing together innovative, multi-disciplinary perspectives, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in leisure studies, media studies, cultural studies, sociology, or health and society.

by John Positano Dr. Rock PositanoA revealing account of the great Baseball Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio from the man who knew him best in the last ten years of his life—&“a rare, intimate portrait…that pries open Joltin&’ Joe&’s perpetually buttoned-up privacy&” (The New York Times) with stories about the Yankees, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and other celebrities.In 1990, Dr. Rock Positano, a thirty-two-year-old foot and ankle specialist, met Joe DiMaggio. Despite the forty years between them, an unlikely friendship developed after the doctor successfully treated the baseball champ&’s heel spur injury. Joe mentored Rock but came to rely on his young friend to show him a good time in New York, the town that made him a legend. In time, the famously reserved DiMaggio opened up to Dr. Positano and talked about his joys, his disappointments, and his sorrows as he reflected on his extraordinary life.

La metamorfosis, Perarnau describió la evolución del ideario futbolístico del técnico de Santpedor y cómo la Bundesliga había impactado en sus ideas como entrenador. Martí Perarnau completa con Dios salve a Pep su trilogía sobre Guardiola: los triunfos, las derrotas, las dudas y el abatimiento, la euforia y las celebraciones. Una descripción detallada, escrita desde una posición de privilegio, de una montaña rusa de emociones en la que hemos conocido los mil rostros de Pep. Este es el retrato de la coronación de un ganador en serie cuyo secreto, en palabras del propio Guardiola, «es que ninguno de nosotros somos tal como éramos el primer día».

Dirigentes, decencia y wines: Obra periodística
by Dante PanzeriAntología de textos del mayor inconformista de la historia delperiodismo deportivo: Dante Panzeri. «El fútbol moderno no existe. Solamente existe el fútbolen dos escalas cualitativas: bueno o malo».Así de moderno, así de tajante y provocativo, así de claro fue siempre,a lo largo de sus casi cuarenta años de carrera periodística, DantePanzeri (Rosario, 1921 - Buenos Aires, 1978). El más radical de losperiodistas deportivos que dio este país fue también el más brillante yel más prolífico, y por eso, fuera de los dos libros que dejó escritos,el legendario «Fútbol, dinámica de lo impensado» (1967) y «Burguesía ygangsterismo en el deporte» (1974), este, «Dirigentes, decencia y wines»(según Panzeri, las tres cosas que le faltan al fútbol argentino) buceaentre miles de textos producidos para diarios, revistas, programas deradio y hasta boletines de circulación privada para ofrecer unmuestrario fuera de serie, que por sí solo es capaz de establecer unacátedra de periodismo y a la vez sirve como necesario modelo para ver,amar y defender el deporte.«Panzeri debe ser, además del más grande, el periodista especializado endeportes más mencionado y parafraseado de nuestro medio. Sepan que lamayoría de quienes lo hacemos no pasaríamos ni un mínimo examen dedecoro profesional del Gran Dante. Obsesivo, contundente, ácido, genial,exponente único de un imprescindible realismo escéptico, Panzeri no fuepara muchos que lo convivieron el mejor, sino el único».Gonzalo Bonadeo
