“…At the same time, this study shows that in Mexico, gender and socioeconomic inequities have decreased in recent years. A possible explanation for the reduction of differences between sexes is that gender stereotypes have become more flexible, therefore sports progressively are less a masculine domain (Appleby & Foster, 2013). Furthermore, the new stereotype of women's beauty is not only in being thin, but also have muscle tone (Spencer, Rehman, & Kirk, 2015).…”

El objetivo del estudio fue conocer el cambio en la prevalencia de la práctica deportiva en adultos mexicanos y su asociación con características sociodemográficas. Analizamos la Encuesta Nacional de Uso del Tiempo (ENUT) de México realizada en 2002 y 2014. A través de un cuestionario se indagó la práctica deportiva en la semana previa. Las variables independientes fueron las características sociodemográficas. Encontramos que la prevalencia de la práctica deportiva aumentó entre 2002 y 2014 (de 15.8% a 29.3%). Ser soltero o tener una posición socioeconómica alta se asoció con una mayor probabilidad de práctica deportiva. Los hombres y los habitantes de las ciudades tenían mayores probabilidades de practicar deporte en comparación con sus contrapartes; aunque estas diferencias tendieron a disminuir. Concluimos que la prevalencia de la práctica deportiva ha aumentado, sin embargo, sigue siendo baja. Identificamos grupos con menor probabilidad de practicar deportes en los que se pueden enfocar esfuerzos para promover la actividad física. The aim of our study was to know the change over time of sports practice prevalence in Mexican adults and its socio-demographic correlates. We analyzed the Mexican National Survey of Time Use (ENUT) conducted in 2002 and 2014; which is based on a representative sample of Mexican adults. Through a questionnaire, it was inquired if people practised sport in the previous week of the interview and the time spent to do it. The independent variables were sociodemographic characteristics. We found that the prevalence of sports practice increased between 2002 and 2014 (from 15.8% to 29.3%). Being single or having a high socioeconomic position was associated with a higher probability of sports practice. Men and city dwellers had higher probabilities of practice sport compared with their counterparts; although these differences tended to decrease. We conclude that the prevalence of sports practice in Mexico has increased, but it remains low. We identified groups with lower probabilities to practice sport in which efforts can be focused to promote active lifestyles.

“…This has consequences on the individual and social sphere, in the construction of personality and orientation. In the social sphere, there are consequences on public health, talent valorisation and equal opportunities (Appleby & Foster, 2013;Bailey, Wellard, & Dismore, 2011) (Chalabaev , Sarrazin , Fontayne, & Boiché, 2013;Clément-Guillotin , Chalabaev , & Fontayne, 2011;Fisette, 2013;Lentillon, 2009).…”

“…Sports are still associated to a vision of masculinity or femininity, therefore still explained as socially adequate for a specific gender. It is common conception that sports require certain physical, psychological and emotional characteristics that are typically masculine or feminine in a specific cultural context (Sykes, 2011;Appleby & Foster, 2013;Tischer, Hartmann-Tews, & Combrink, 2011;Azzarito & Solmon, 2009). The collective perception of a differentiation between masculine, feminine and neutral sports was already suggested by Koivula (2001) and confirmed by Lentillon (2009).…”

“…Education centres can promote the motivation and involvement of girls and boys through practices that take into account their environment, interests and needs. From a pedagogic point of view, sport is a social catalyst that can implement change, abolish racial barriers, overcome gender gaps and eliminate socioeconomical and sociocultural barriers (Sherry, Schulenkorf, & Chalip, 2015;Appleby & Foster, 2013;Isidori & Fraile, 2008). These education paths could overturn the low self esteem that afflicts women in their perception of sport performance (Franceschini, Galli, Chiesi, & Primi, 2014;Kit, Mateer, Tuokko, & Spence, 2014) and be potential mediators of sport skills ( Chiviacowsky, 2014 ).…”

This review wants to provide a summary of selected literature from the past 10 years on gender equity in P.E. It aims at providing an overview of the current research, while suggesting viable solutions to encourage girls to take a more active role in sport and physical activity. To ensure the respect of gender identity in education, the quality of teaching is crucial. Therefore, we argue that there is greater need for research in the field of gender equity in PE. While much research focused on how gender reproduced though pedagogical practice in PE, this review aims at analyzing how to challenge it and identify good practices. The analysis of the didactic process pointed out five dimensions (design, methodological, reflexive, organizational, relational). For each dimension, the critical aspects for education to gender equity have been identified, together with the effective practice and strategy to promote gender equity and equal education in PE. Methods and techniques useful for PE teachers were highlighted to give teachers the right tools to orientate students to sports, limit early sport dropouts and valorise the practice of all sports equally, as disciplines for both men and women.

“…Yeme bozukluklarının Türkiye'deki yaygınlığı ve sıklığı hakkında fazla bilgi olmamakla birlikte, genellikle 12-18 yaş arasındaki genç kız ve erkeklerde daha sık görüldüğü saptanmıştır [46]. Ancak sportif başarı söz konusu olduğunda spor yapan çocuklar ailelerinin imkânları ölçüsünde daha dikkatli ve özenli beslenmeye çalışmaktadırlar.…”

ÖZÇalışmanın amacı, İstanbul İli Esenyurt İlçesi'ndeki bir ortaokulda öğrenim gören müsabık güreşçilerin beslenme alışkanlıklarının incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın örneklemi yaş ortalamaları 12.83±1.48 olan 27 erkek ve 21 kız toplam 48 müsabık güreşçidir. Güreşçilerin %25'i haftada 1-2 gün, %33.3'ü haftada 3-4 gün ve %41.7'si ise her gün düzenli antrenman yapmaktadırlar. Araştırmada iki ayrı veri toplama formu kullanılmıştır. Sporcuların ve ailelerinin tanımlayıcı özellikleri, beslenme alışkanlıkları, bazı besinleri ne sıklıkta tükettikleri ve okulda ya da dışarıda en çok tükettikleri yiyecek ve içecekler belirlenmiştir. Sporcuların %50'sinin üç temel öğünden birini atladığı, %14.6'sının ise sabah kahvaltısı yapmadığı görülmüştür. Güreşçilerin antrenman sıklıkları ile beslenme durumları, hafta içi ve hafta sonu televizyon izleme, bilgisayar başında vakit geçirme durumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Adölesan dönemdeki sporculara, ailelerine ve antrenörlerine yönelik beslenme eğitimlerinin düzenlenerek bilinçlenmenin arttırılması ve düzenli spor yaşamı olan çocuk ve gençlerde sağlıksız ve düzensiz beslenmenin sonuçlarıyla ilgili kamu spotlarının oluşturulması sorunun çözümüne katkı sağlayabilecek uygulamalardır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Güreş, Adölesan, Antrenman Sıklığı, Beslenme Alışkanlıkları, Besin Tüketim Sıklığı EXAMINING OF NUTRITIONAL HABITS OF COMPETITOR WRESTLERS ABSTRACTThe aim of the study is to examine nutritional habits of competitor wrestlers who study in a secondary school in Esenyurt, İstanbul. The sample of the study was 48 competitor wrestlers (27 boys and 21 girls). The average age of these athletes were 12.83±1.48 years. 25% of wrestlers are training 1-2 days of the week, 33.3% of wrestlers are training 3-4 days of the week and 41.7% of them are training every day of the week. Two different data collection form has been used in the study. The descriptive characteristics of the athletes and their families, their eating habits, how often they consume certain foods, and the food and beverages most consumed at school or outside are identified. It is found that 50% of the athletes ignore the one of three main meals, and 14.6% of the athletes do not have breakfast. There was no difference statistically between wrestlers' weekly training frequencies and wrestlers' nutritional situations, their television monitoring time and spending time at the computer. There are applications to contribute to the solution of this problem such as raising awareness of the adolescent athletes, their family and coaches by providing nutrition trainings and creating public service announcements regarding the results of unhealthy and irregular eating habits for children and teenagers who do sports regularly.
