“…The way we consider gender in sport has changed and there is a growing appreciation of the intersectionality of race, cultures, and gender. 130 More qualitative and longitudinal studies on how these social norms influence participation over time are needed. Especially during the transition from childhood to adolescence, as it is likely that these peer and family influences change during these different life stages.…”

Youth sport is a key physical activity opportunity for children and adolescents. Several factors influence youth sport participation, including social factors, but this has not to date been clearly delineated. This study is a scoping review to survey the literature on the influence of family and peers on youth sports participation. The review identified 111 articles of which the majority were cross-sectional, included boys and girls, and were conducted primarily in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The articles were grouped into 8 research themes: (1) reasons for participation, (2) social norms, (3) achievement goal theory, 4) family structure, (5) sports participation by family members, (6) parental support and barriers, (7) value of friendship, and (8) influence of teammates. Friendships were key to both initiation and maintenance of participation, parents facilitated participation, and children with more active parents were more likely to participate in sport. Less is known on how family structure, sibling participation, extended family, and other theoretical frameworks may influence youth sport. The review suggests that social influences are important factors for ensuring participation, maximizing the quality of the experience, and capitalizing on the benefits of youth sport. Future research studies, programs, and policies promoting and developing evidence-based youth sporting experiences should consider social influences on youth sport participation.

“…Perhaps due to such observations, the field of sport research has had a relatively moderate engagement with intersectionality. Despite the measured uptake, there are now multiple examples of active and effective use of the concept (e.g., Abdel-Shehid & Kalman-Lamb, 2017;Engh et al, 2017). Whilst recognising the potential danger of overuse, we argue and explain As men tend to be privileged when decisions are made to fulfil coaching roles (Norman et al, 2018), there have been calls within the sports coaching and S&C literature for deploying frameworks that centralise women's intersectional identities and their coaching career trajectories (Lord & Kavaliauskas, 2022;La Voi et al, 2019).…”

Women continue to be underrepresented and underserved in the field of strength and conditioning (S&C), yet scholarly work examining the experiences and perceptions of women S&C coaches is limited. Thus, the purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review of the existing literature on women S&C coaches to identify current trends as well as knowledge gaps. Four electronic databases (SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Academic Search Complete) were searched up to July 30, 2021. The initial search yielded 164 unique English-language papers, reviews, and book chapters. All in all, seven peer-reviewed articles were included, and data from these studies were charted. Each article offers insight into women’s experiences within the S&C industry, which are significantly different to their male counterparts. Based on our review of the findings, we recommend S&C coaches to participate in coach education programs and more women to be actively involved in the recruitment and hiring of S&C staff. While such findings are relevant, they have not fully explored the complexity of gender dynamics in S&C. Moreover, these recommendations will have limited long-term, sector-wide impact unless necessary policies are also implemented to help eradicate structure-level gender bias within the culture of S&C.

“…Accordingly, it is best studied, within its socio-historical context, by considering and reconciling the subjective perceptions of its participants [38]. Various studies on social inclusion have adopted the interpretive qualitative approach, such as those of Abdel-Shehid & Kalman-Lamb (2017) [39], and Maxwell et al, (2013) [40].…”

“…The case study approach, adopted in this study, aims at documenting and disseminating good social inclusion practices. The use of case studies as means of analysis has been widely adopted by practitioners in social inclusion and gender equality research [39,40]. It offers a multi-perspective analysis of various sources, facilitating the inclusion of the opinions of relevant groups who might otherwise be underrepresented [40] such as women from rural areas, together with the interaction between these groups.…”

Theory of change approach is a comprehensive illustration of how activities, undertaken by an intervention, are intended to function and empirically evaluate whether and how they achieve their ultimate intended outcomes. Theory of Change (ToC) has, to date, been widely used as an evaluation tool for Comprehensive Community Initiatives, and this study aims at exploring its application to research on female empowerment-based Comprehensive Community initiatives. The study presents a theory of change, based on a model proposed by the authors, to evaluate the role of rural women's social inclusion as one of the key factors contributing to the success of a single Comprehensive Community initiative in Egypt. The lessons learned from this success story can be put forward as a possible solution to curb the economic challenges caused by COVID-19. A case study was conducted in a small village in Egypt through the use of observation, interviews, and secondary data. Findings indicated four key interventions facilitated the inclusion of rural women, contributed to the success of the development plan, and helped the village overcome the challenges caused by COVID-19. Those interventions being; over-coming gender stereotyping, focusing on up-skilling, re-skilling; through mass on-the-job training programs, and selfsufficiency.
