  • Lake, Robert J. (2015): ‘Guys don’t whale away at the women’. Etiquette and gender relations in contemporary mixed-doubles tennis. In: Sport in Society 19 (8-9), S. 1214-1233. DOI: 10.1080/17430437.2015.1067773

    Abstract: This article examines recent developments in etiquette in contemporary mixed-doubles tennis (MDT), to position different behavioural expectations for men/women in the broader context of shifting gender relations. Content analysis of coaching guides published from the 1960-1980s revealed that historically rooted gender distinctions in terms of court positioning, tactics, and playing roles/expectations were reaffirmed, continuing to undermine and marginalize females yet privilege males based on assumed innate differences in physical attributes. Etiquette norms in this era were compared to those found in the early twenty-first century (2000-2010s), through content analysis of online forums/blogs for recreational and elite-level MDT. It was found that while gendered tactics related to court positioning and playing roles were sustained, an important shift in etiquette norms related to chivalry occurred, but was not comprehensively accepted among all players. This development was attributed to third-wave feminist challenges to male chivalry, alongside the burgeoning crisis of masculinity' that increasingly pushed men towards adopting a hybridized masculinity' to assuage public critiques of hegemonic/orthodox masculinity in sport.

  • Hafner-Holter, Susanne (2009): Effects of fitness training and yoga on well-being stress, social competence and body image. In: NEUROPSYCHIATRIE 23 (4), S. 244-248

    Abstract: Objectives: Aims of our study were to describe and compare influences from a physical activity program and a yoga program on well-being, mood, stress-coping, body-image and social competence in healthy people. Methods: 18 persons attending a gym and 21 taking part in a yoga program answered following questionnaires before entering the program and after taking part for 20 units: Body-Image-Questionnaire (25), Symptom-Checklist- 90R (8), Complaint-List (31), Adjective Mood-Scale (32) and a Visual Analogue Scale for assessing stress-level (10). Results: Statistical analyses show significant improvement in social competence in both training groups; the gym-group report reduced sexual discomfort, whereas people taking part in yoga-group show a reduction in somatization and body-related anxiety as well as an improvement in physical and emotional well-being. Conclusion: Our findings support the evidence that physical activity in general improves psychological well-being, however, gym and yoga seem to have different psychological impacts. Future research should focus on comparing the psychological effects of different physical activity interventions in prevention programmes as well as exercise prescriptions in patients with mental illness.
