Verletzungen im Leistungssport aus soziologischer Perspektive

Injury in competitive sport is widely seen as a topic within the medical and psychological domain. This article gives an overview of sociological research on dealing with injury in competitive sport. Besides findings of a culture of risk, medical treatment practices and the governance of medical support systems, there are still many unanswered questions to which the sociology of sport could make a relevant contribution. Perspectives for future studies correspond with the social dynamics of injury, the structural role constraints in a medical treatment or rehabilitation context, and the governance of complex social networks for injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation processes.

Anerkennungs- und Missachtungsprozesse im Sportunterricht

This paper focuses on an extract of a broad research project about processes of recognition and non-recognition among students in physical education (PE). Based on a mixed-method research design (e.g. video recordings, sociograms, video-stimulated recall interviews and rating of sport motor competency of students by PE teachers), the complexity and contextuality of student interactions in PE were reconstructed. Due to a systematical data triangulation, different PE contexts could be identified where students transmit recognition and non-recognition by using different strategies. This paper presents the results of one of these contexts where PE teachers make students regulate their own exercise, learning or game processes. In these situations, students refer to different power sources: situational control of resources, sport motor competence and/or social position, mutual friendship and image of a power person. The social order in the class is visibly constructed in form of recognition and non-recognition relations.
