Sexism and misogyny in sports Authors Loreto Chihuailaf Vera Universidad de Barcelona Rocío Concha López Universidad de Autónoma de Madrid Yasin Türk Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Keywords: Physical education, initial training, sexism, gender, sports, physical activity. Abstract The practice of sports is framed in an unequal reality to the detriment of women, both at recreational and professional levels. This has been validated and promoted by society through hegemonic cultural constructions that promote sexism among athletes, as well as through the sports institutions themselves and through the training of the specialized teachers in the field. That is why this study, which is part of a research project, aims to analyze the sexist attitude of physical education pedagogy students in the recreational and professional sports contexts, in the light of the gender variable. To achieve this purpose, a pilot questionnaire was addressed to eighty students. The results showed that all the dimensions under study revealed sexist beliefs. It should be noted that in 86% of the dimensions, male respondents presented a greater sexist attitude than the female respondents, with the remaining percentage coinciding between genders. Consequently, it is essential to educate from a gender perspective. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
