    Sociology of Physical activity

    1. List and Discuss the goals of sociological study of physical activity?


    - Enhancement: Everything is constantly changing and it's no surprise that
    physical activity is always critiquing and changing as well. There are always ways
    to improve certain workouts and ones that will target certain areas of the body
    better than others.
    - To analyze and identify patterns and changes in physical activity
    2. Describe the expanding research directions in sociology of physical activity from 1970 to
    the present?
    - More research has been conducted on different ethnicities, sexual orientation,
    different social classes, and ethnic backgrounds; As well as different body types
    to get an understanding of how physical activity affects their body and what major
    health changes occur. Sociologists have also looked into the many regional and
    national differences of physical activity.
    3. Describe the ties between leadership in physical activity programs and power
    relationships based on gender, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status
    - Gender: We see very few female coaches in any male dominated sports. They
    are usually coaches to women’s volleyball, soccer, and basketball. Other than
    those 3 sports, we assume that the coaches are male such as football,
    basketball, baseball, tennis, and soccer.
    - Race and ethnicity: African-Americans have little to no positions as far as
    leadership in physical activity. It is usually a white male who takes up this
    position and even in a “Black dominated sport” we see a white male coach.
    - Socioeconomic status: Based on the area someone lives in, there are going to be
    many differences based on how accessible leadership and physical
    activity/equipment is. More than likely if you live in a wealthy city, you are more
    likely to have more resources available to you such as equipment, physical
    equipment and leadership roles. The lower income cities may not have any
    resources available to the community which in this case, there won’t be any
    leadership roles.
