The most recent Olympic Games in Tokyo were highly controversial for going forward despite the pandemic and resistance from the local community. Many debates have been held on whether those Games were a success or a failure, and importantly, for whom? The games were certainly exceptional due to the pandemic. Still, on the other hand, they were similar to previous games in many ways, such as by exceeding the budget and involving human rights concerns that are rarely mentioned in the ‘official’ Olympic narratives.
In today's episode with Drs. Mac Ross and Michael McDougall, we will have a critical conversation of the potential dark sides of the Olympics. We start off by reflecting a bit on skateboarding as a new Olympic sport and the management of meaning that takes place when new 'sports' are included. We then ask about the impact of the Olympics on local communities and whether the Games are doing more harm than good, especially for the worlds most vulnerable populations.
Dr. Michael McDougall is an Assistant professor of psychology at Keystone College, specializing in culture, sport and organizations,
Dr. Mac Ross is an Assistant professor of kinesiology at Western University in London, Ontario, where he teaches history, sociology and management of sport.

In this episode, we explore emotions in sports from a philosophical perspective. How are philosophical perspectives different from the more established psychological perspectives? How can ideas found in Aristotle, Nietzsche, Hume, and Spinoza help us establish a framework to explore emotions in sports? Why are certain emotions and their balance essential for sustaining our sporting culture as we know it today, or could we find a better emotional balance in our individual and collective sporting lives?
Our conversation draws heavily on Yunus's book Emotion in Sports: Philosophical Perspectives.
Dr. Yunus Tuncel teaches Philosophy at The New School, New York, and in New York University’s Liberal Studies Programme. He is a co-founder of the Nietzsche Circle and a member of the Editorial Board of its journal The Agonist. Yunus is also the founder of Philomobile, which is a travel organization offering trips to those interested in studying philosophy on the road (Philomobile – Explore and Study Philosophy).
The conversation continues in Part 2 with a focus on more specific emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, and joy in sports.

This is the second part of our discussion with Dr. Anna Kavoura on how gender informs meaning in sport. In the first part, we explored Anna’s work on intersecting identities in women’s martial arts, as well as her current research project titled "Transforming Gender Boundaries in Sport: An Ethnographic and Participatory Action Research Study in Trans-Inclusive Sport Contexts”.
This episode continues our discussion exploring the dominant gender discourses in sports context and what can be done to challenge them. We also discuss the dilemma of women-only training groups in martial arts. While these groups can be useful for attracting more women to male-dominated martial arts gyms, there are some possible problems with them such as reinforcing the gender binary and hierarchical understandings of gender. What are the ways we can use this strategy well?
Dr. Anna Kavoura has completed several interesting research projects on gender in sports. She completed her PhD in Sport Sciences at the Univerity of Jyväskylä in Finland, which focused on understanding women’s identity negotiations in competitive judo cultures in Greece and Finland. After defending her PhD, she continued working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Jyväskylä in the PREACT project which focuses on tackling discrimination against gender and sexual minorities in sport and physical education contexts (PI: Dr Marja Kokkonen). She then moved to the School of Sport and Service Management at the University of Brighton and works as a postdoctoral researcher in the "Transforming Gender Boundaries in Sport" project which is funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.

Sport is a very gendered institution. Although there has been a lot of effort to tackle gender-based inequalities in the past few decades, a lot of work remains to be done. This episode explores how gender informs meaning in sports. How does gender identity intersect with athletic identity? What discourses are dominant in sporting spaces, and how do these impact participant experiences, especially those unable or unwilling to accept or live according to those discourses?
We are also exploring the possibilities of alternative meanings and practices in sport, and finally discuss whether and how sporting practices that are not based on a binary understanding of gender can be organized, as well as the ethical imperative to organize sporting spaces that are inclusive and safe for all.

Many athletes believe that they should be self-critical and hard on themselves to reach their full potential. Yet, what if an opposite perspective, focused on self-compassion would be much more conducive to flourishing and meaningful experiences in sport? These and other questions are explored in this episode with Dr. Leah Ferguson.
Questions explored in this podcast include:
- What is self-compassion and how is it different from self-esteem?
- What is eudaimonic well-being? How is meaning related to that?
- Is sport culture resistant to self-compassion? Should we talk about it with a different language?
Dr. Leah Ferguson is an Associate Professor at University of Saskatchewan. Her research areas include sport psychology and Indigenous people’s wellness; the latter topic will be explored in the 2nd part of the podcast.
The research discussed in this episode includes:
Exploring self-compassion and eudaimonic well-being in young women athletes
Self-compassion and eudaimonic well-being during emotionally difficult times in sport

Especially in Europe, a growing number of people choose not to be affiliated with organized religion. But does it mean that they reject everything religious? And does sport have something to offer for spiritual life, at least for some?
In this episode, Dr. Teemu Pauha helps us to explore the fuzzy lines between contemporary 'religious', 'spiritual', and 'atheist' identities and some of the key characteristics of new 'spiritualities of life' that are formed outside of organized religion. With the focus on embodiment and everyday life, these new spiritualities also sometimes find their expression in physical cultures such as martial arts. We explore various cultural characteristics of martial arts practices and Teemu shares what he sees as some key considerations for sports researchers when studying the spiritual in sport.
Dr. Teemu Pauha is a University Lecturer at the Faculty of Theology at the University of Helsinki. His research has explored the religious and national identities of young Finnish Muslims and the role of religion in intergroup relations. Teemu is a long-term martial arts practitioner and has also recently worked on the topic of religion and sport (which will be the focus of the second part of our conversation).

It is somewhat paradoxical that the Nordic countries often rank at the top of world happiness surveys. Still, at the same time, many people experience depression and other forms of mental ill-being. Today, we discuss the role that nature-based activities can have for our well-being and discuss a new study that examines the potential of these activities as a lifestyle intervention for well-being and meaning.
Dr. Niels Feddersen holds a Postdoctoral researcher position at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He is currently conducting a study exploring nature-based recreational activities (paddle boarding and surfing) as a lifestyle intervention and whether and how these activities could positively contribute to the sense of connectedness to nature, well-being, and meaning in sport. His other research focuses on organizational cultures in elite sports (which was the focus of the first part of this conversation).

Physical activity in later life is often promoted for its potential physical, psychological, and social benefits for older adults. However, sometimes these programs, despite good intentions, can perpetuate negative stereotypes about aging and youthful ideas about a good life. Have we forgotten to ask old people themselves how and why they are (not) active?
As our guest explains, aging is not only a physical and psychological phenomenon but also a cultural phenomenon. Cultural narratives including ageing-as-decline, successful ageing and active ageing can have significant consequences on how we make meaning of later life.
In this episode, we ask critical questions about what is aging, who is an older person, and what implications different physical activity campaigns for older adults might have.
Dr. Adam Evans is currently an Associate Professor in the Sociology of Sport at the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sport (NEXS) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is the current director of the Sport, Health and Innovation research group at NEXS, and is Editor in Chief of the European Journal for Sport and Society (www.tandfonline.com/toc/ress20/current). His research interests cohere around understanding the lived experiences of sport, and physical activity amongst several groups, including older adults and those with specific health needs, together with work in swimming and aquatic activity.

In the concluding part of this insightful episode of the Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, host Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues his engaging conversation with Dr. Elise Brown, Associate Professor of Wellness and Health Promotion at Oakland University. Dr. Brown shares her experiences and strategies for translating her research on diabetes and resistance training into accessible and practical knowledge through her YouTube channel, "The Diabetes Resistance."
Dr. Brown discusses the motivation behind starting her YouTube channel, including obtaining tenure and the desire to provide comprehensive, accessible information to help individuals with type 2 diabetes begin strength training. She outlines the various types of content she produces—educational videos, workout videos, and instructional guides—and emphasizes the importance of detailed planning and safety precautions.
Dr. Brown also shares her approach to crafting engaging content, the importance of strong hooks, and establishing credibility. She offers practical advice on video production, including using affordable equipment and free resources for video editing. Her enthusiasm for video editing as a creative outlet is evident, and she highlights the significance of consistent quality content for growing an audience.
In this episode, Dr. Brown encourages other researchers to use platforms like YouTube for disseminating their research findings, sharing her positive experiences and the impact of her channel on her audience. She also addresses the challenges of maintaining consistency and the importance of providing valuable content to build a loyal following.
