“…It is therefore explained the understanding of appropriate sports for men and women from gender stereotypes. 15,18 A study carried out in the United Kingdom analyzed the television coverage of the events in which there was participation of women and identified that these were mainly composed of sports considered feminine, like gymnastics. 1 Nonetheless, it is observed that the Brazilian media analyzed in this research highlighted the performance of athletes practicing sports perceived as masculine, for example, judo and soccer.…”

Objective: to identify reiteration trends or overcoming of gender inequalities in reports on female athletes published in Brazilian newspapers. Method: a documentary research based on reports published in the special report on Rio 2016 Olympic Games in two Brazilian newspapers of national circulation. 51 articles and 87 images were selected and submitted to thematic content analysis and processed in webQDA software. Results: four categories emerged from the empirical data: women's representativeness in the Olympic Games; women on the champions platform; recognition of women from overcoming male performance; and violence against women gaining ground in sports' agenda. Media coverage replicated socially constructed sexist patterns by portraying athletes from stereotyped female characteristics and revealed gender inequalities in describing situations of violence against athletes perpetrated by members of technical teams and supporters. Conclusion: despite the visibility given to the protagonism of athletes, there was the production and reproduction of gender stereotypes. Therefore, it is necessary to deconstruct and confront inequalities between men and women. RESUMOObjetivo: identificar as tendências de reiteração ou superação das desigualdades de gênero em reportagens sobre mulheres atletas publicadas em jornais brasileiros. Método: pesquisa documental, realizada a partir de reportagens publicadas na sessão dos cadernos especiais sobre as Olimpíadas Rio 2016 em dois jornais brasileiros de circulação nacional. Foram selecionadas 51 reportagens e 87 imagens, submetidas à análise de conteúdo temática e processadas no software webQDA. Resultados: a partir dos dados empíricos, emergiram quatro categorias: a representatividade das mulheres nos jogos olímpicos; as mulheres na plataforma dos campeões; o reconhecimento da mulher a partir da superação do desempenho masculino; e a violência contra a mulher ganhando espaço na pauta esportiva. A cobertura midiática reproduziu padrões sexistas socialmente construídos ao retratar as atletas a partir de características femininas estereotipadas e revelou desigualdades de gênero ao descrever situações de violência contra as atletas perpetradas por membros das equipes técnicas e torcedores. Conclusão: apesar da visibilidade dada ao protagonismo das atletas, houve a produção e reprodução de estereótipos de gênero. Portanto, são necessários a desconstrução e o enfrentamento das desigualdades entre homens e mulheres.

“…Researchers highlighted the consequences of gender stereotypes in sports on different aspects of social life (Plaza, Brunel, & Ruchaud, 2017;Sykes, 2011;Slater & Tiggemann, 2011). The social construction of gender is linked to discussions around the appropriate gender of sport.…”

“…The social construction of gender is linked to discussions around the appropriate gender of sport. This forces gender identity in dualism and limits the choice of physical activities to those considered more appropriate (Azzarito & Solmon, 2009;Plaza et al, 2017). Enright & O'Sullivan (2010) linked the relational environment of the PE class to gender dynamics, examining girls' wellbeing during class.…”

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.

“…L'objectif de l'étude était donc d'examiner si un contexte rendu menaçant par la présence de stéréotypes peut orienter l'individu vers des buts de performance-évitement. Cette hypothèse a été examinée dans le contexte du football, une activité fortement connotée masculine en France (e.g., Plaza, Boiché, Brunel, & Ruchaud, 2016).…”

Des différences d'engagement et de performance entre hommes et femmes sont régulièrement observées dans le domaine de l'activité physique et sportive. Ces différences sont-elles construites socialement, au-delà des facteurs biologiques susceptibles de les expliquer ? Les travaux présentés dans cette revue de littérature cherchent à apporter des éléments de réponse à ce questionnement, en se focalisant sur les effets situationnels des stéréotypes, et plus particulièrement sur les processus liés à la menace que l'on peut éprouver lorsque ces stéréotypes sont rendus saillants en contexte évaluatif. Le modèle de la menace du stéréotype est présenté, et les travaux l'ayant testé dans le domaine moteur sont développés. Les résultats montrent que les facteurs sociétaux que constituent les stéréotypes peuvent s'imprimer dans des processus cognitifs, affectifs, motivationnels, physiologiques, et comportementaux, conduisant ainsi à leur confirmation comportementale.
