Within a contemporary Brazilian conjuncture fraught by conjoined political, economic, and cultural schisms, the shirt has become what Stuart Hall (p. 354) referred to as a "constant battlefield" upon which warring national political ideologies and imaginaries have fought for ascendancy. In contextually mapping the shifting and increasingly contentious relationship between the amarelinha and the Brazilian national imaginary, we utilize a critical conjuncturalism in critically explicating three indicative moments: 1) the shirt's historical articulation, and initial relative stasis, as a symbol of a modern Brazilian national unity, pride, and optimism in the period from the 1950s to 2010s; 2) the disarticulation and hijacking of the shirt by an emergent right-wing populist movement during the mid-2010s, vanguarded by future President Jair Bolsonaro, and visibly supported by many popular athletes (i.e. Neymar, Nelson Piquet); and 3) the subsequent rearticulation of the shirt, and indeed the national political imaginary, by the countervailing forces of the Brazilian political left including leading journalists and athletes (i.e. Richarlison, Walter Casagrande). As such, our aim is to contextually examine how the shirt has, in a dialectical sense, become both a product and producer of the ideological and affective schisms responsible for the fraying (yet also potentially rebuilding) of Brazilian national identity and society.}, journal={Leisure Sciences}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Clift, Bryan C. and Andrews, David L. and Lopes, Victor B.}, year={2024}, month={Aug}, pages={1–19} }

Two online surveys were developed and distributed to the distance runners (survey one) and coaches (survey two). Both surveys included sections related to: (1) current knowledge; (2) current behavior; (3) need and support for RRI prevention measures; and (4) possible content and form of RRI prevention measures. A total of 39 distance runners (36% of total possible sample) completed survey 1, and 29 coaches (32% of total possible sample) completed survey 2. Key findings included that the majority of distance runners and coaches: (1) agreed that it is 'very important' to try to prevent RRI; (2) are currently implementing something in practice (e.g., strength training) to prevent RRI; and (3) view the creation of RRI prevention measures as an important initiative. Differences between distance runners and coaches were identified in relation to their understanding of the most common causes of RRI. Interestingly, distance runners identified a modifiable cause of RRI (i.e., too much training) as the most common cause of RRI, while coaches selected a non-modifiable cause of RRI (i.e., growth and maturation). These key findings were supplemented by competitive adolescent runners and distance running coaches detailing their delivery preferences for such RRI prevention measures. Results from this study will help inform subsequent steps of the larger co-creation process, with an emphasis on developing multifaceted and context-specific RRI prevention measures that are deemed to be feasible and acceptable for real-world implementation.}, number={1}, journal={Annals of Medicine}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Mann, Robert H. and Clift, Bryan C. and Day, Jo and Barker, Alan R.}, year={2024}, month={Apr} }

Developed initially by Frigga Haug and colleagues as an approach to understanding women's socialization experiences, memory work has since been taken up in areas such as psychology and emotion, education and pedagogy, and notably in collective biography. The feminist-rooted methodology involves small groups of researcher/participants who share, discuss, write, and analyze their memories for the purpose of interrogating taken-for-granted assumptions about and power dynamics immersed within our pasts, relationships, and selves around a common focus. To stimulate further use of memory work in sport and physical activity, this chapter focuses upon the practical processes of conducting memory work with participants – that is, how memories are worked (analyzed) amongst a group.

Through collective memory work – sharing, discussing, writing, and analysing sporting memories/histories – we examine (re)constructions of young women’s experiences of gendered relations of power, bodily awareness, and regulation within movement-based practices. The approach taken explores relationships between theory and method, a feature of post-qualitative inquiry. Forming a collaborative memory workshop with six young women (aged 19–22) and two researchers, we illustrate how working memories facilitates the interrogation of taken-for-granted assumptions about women’s active bodies. Represented through two memories in this paper, their production, representation, and analysis were a collaborative effort, not solely representative of two individual experiences. Despite growing up within a period wherein women’s access to and engagement with sport and physical activity is more available, common, and diverse compared to the youth of past generations, young women’s experiences explored here illustrate the ways in which movement-based practices are located within the confluence of postfeminist sensibilities including, intensely scrutinised gendered body cultures, potent neoliberal configurations, and discourses of empowerment. It is these new sporting and active femininities and the gendering experiences of physical culture that are explored within this paper through memory work and collective biography.}, number={4}, journal={Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Clift, Bryan C and Francombe-Webb, Jessica and Merchant, Stephanie}, year={2023}, month={Mar}, pages={449–466} }

However, and largely due to its peculiar emotive resonance, sport is perhaps more susceptible to appropriation by political entities, of whatever inflection. During the last twenty years, and in various national settings, populist forms of leadership and governance have come to the fore, most notably among parties and people on the right of the political spectrum. Sport has thus become a vehicle through which such right-leaning populist rhetorics, discourses, and performances have served explicit political ends. Our current populist age, synonymous with—but not singularly reducible to—the inflammatory Trump presidency, is marked by distinctive articulations of political populism within, and through, the realm of sport. This special issue explores the socio-historic forces responsible for the contemporaneous generative relations linking sport, physical culture, and populist politics. This introductory essay offers a conceptual grounding of populism, explicates the important distinction between left and right iterations of populism, and provides a brief overview of the articles in this issue. The articles explore issues of ethnonationalism, race and racism, homonationalism, Trump and football, fascism and sport, and regional iterations of sport and populism (e.g., Europe and Latin America).

Prompting an accelerated shift towards digital learning across the curriculum, this announcement was accompanied by a rise in market-based solutions to address the problem of keeping young people active, 'healthy' and 'positive' whilst at home. The most prominent of these was offered by Joe Wicks, who broadcasted PE with Joe live globally via YouTube for five days per week for eighteen weeks. The aim of this paper is to critically explore some of the contextual factors that enabled Joe Wicks to create and legitimise a public health intervention under the title of physical education, and henceforth position himself (whether intentionally or not) as an authoritative agent for change within the discipline. After outlining who Joe Wicks is, we unpack the discursive framing of PE with Joe in order to locate Wicks' intervention amid the perennial politics of physical education. We then consider the meaning of PE with Joe and why Joe Wicks' involvement in physical education matters, reflecting upon the effects of Joe Wicks on the future of physical education practice and research. Among our conclusions is that the Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity for Joe Wicks – here positioned and understood as a branded, celebrity lifestyle enterprise – to manoeuvre himself (and his products) from the periphery to the centre of physical education's public imagery and discourse. Furthermore, we argue that exploring the ways in which Wicks' presence in the physical education space has been received, embraced, modified, challenged and resisted is vital in discerning PE with Joe's actual or perceived effects on the social construction of physical education, and the educational engagements of young people in physical activity in the post-Covid-19 landscape.}, number={2}, journal={Sport, Education and Society}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Bowles, H. and Clift, B.

Background
Little is known about the overall health of adolescent distance runners. Objective
To describe all health problems (injuries and illnesses) in relation to type, location, incidence, prevalence, time loss, severity, and burden, in competitive adolescent distance runners in England. Design
Prospective observational study monitoring all health problems for 24-weeks between May and October (2019). Setting
Competitive adolescent distance runners (i.e., 800 m to 10,000 m, including steeplechase) in England. Patients (Or Participants)
Distance runners (13–18 y) were invited to participate if they had achieved a top-50 performance in their age-group (U20, U17 and U15) during 2018. A total of 644 athletes were invited to take part, with 136 athletes (73 females) having enrolled and completed the study (lost to follow-up: n = 7). Main Outcome Measurements
The prevalence and burden of health problems was recorded using the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Questionnaire on Health Problems (OSTRC-H). The OSTRC-H was completed online, via Qualtrics, on a weekly basis. Results
A total of 363 health problems were registered during this study, including 213 injuries and 150 illnesses. At any time, 24% [95% Confidence Intervals (CI): 21–26%] of athletes reported a health problem, with 11% [95% CI: 9–12%] having experienced a health problem that had substantial negative impact on training and performance. Female athletes reported noticeably more illnesses, compared to male athletes, including higher prevalence, incidence, time loss, and severity. The most burdensome health problems, irrespective of sex, included lower leg, knee, and foot/toes injuries, alongside upper respiratory illnesses. The mean weekly prevalence of time loss was relatively low, regardless of health problem type or sex. Conclusions
Competitive adolescent distance runners are likely to be training and competing whilst concurrently experiencing health problems.

Distance running is one of the most popular sports among children and adolescents around the world. Previous adult- and adolescent-based research indicates that injury is prevalent when participating in distance running. While knowledge related to the extent of the injury problem is important, an understanding of athletes' psychosocial responses to running-related injury (RRI), applying a qualitative lens of inquiry, is frequently overlooked. Objective
To investigate the psychosocial responses to 'serious RRI' (>28 days–6 months of time loss) in competitive adolescent distance runners in England. Design
Semi-structured interviews to facilitate a reflexive thematic analysis (deductive/latent) related to psychosocial responses to serious RRI. Setting
Competitive adolescent distance runners (i.e., 800 m to 10,000 m, including steeplechase) in England. Patients (or Participants)
Distance runners (13–18 y) were invited to participate if they had sustained a serious RRI within the previous 12-months, as self-reported via an online survey as part of a previous study. A total of 113 athletes completed the online survey, whereby 34 of these athletes had sustained at least one serious RRI. Results
Nineteen competitive adolescent distance runners were interviewed about their experiences of serious RRI, focussing on their response to and subsequent recovery from serious RRI. Based on a reflexive thematic analysis, three themes were developed: (1) performance uncertainty, (2) injury (mis)management, and (3) contested identity. These three themes were found to support a number of theoretical relationships proposed in Wiese-Bjornstal et al. (1998) integrated model of response to sport injury, alongside other previous research findings. In turn, each theme contributed towards an overarching understanding that serious RRI acts to destabilise the athletic identity of competitive adolescent distance runners, as a psychosocial recovery outcome. Conclusions
These findings will support the development of measures that aim to improve how competitive adolescent distance runners respond to RRI.}, number={Supplement 1}, journal={British Journal of Sports Medicine}, publisher={BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine}, author={Mann, Robert and McKay, Carly and Barker, Alan and Williams, Craig and Clift, Bryan}, year={2021}, month={Nov}, pages={A179.2–A179} }

Second, there is a continued need for feminist and gender theory to further unpick and analyse the patriarchal, male-dominated dimensions of populist practice and ideology as well as female populist leadership, and sport is a prime site for such potentially revealing work. Third, the further conceptualisation of populism in relation to concepts and theories of discourse and ideology could provide the basis of a coherent notion of "sportive populism."

The Cup and the Games were integral elements of Lula's political agenda and legacy. To the internal Brazilian audience, the Cup and Games became expressions of Lula's perceived character as a man of and from the people whose charisma stimulated and simulated his political leadership. Yet, his hand-picked successor in 2011, Dilma Rousseff, did not experience the same levels of support or appeal despite maintaining many of Lula's policies. Within a period of political, economic, and social change in Brazil, Rousseff was unable to maintain political leadership of the PT and her coalition government. In the wake of Lula's populism, Rousseff may have lacked Lula's charismatic populism but she also suffered the gendered and misogynist discourses associated with a right-wing backlash, which ultimately led to her impeachment just prior to the Olympic Games.

The epidemiology of running-related injury (RRI) has been investigated in adults, but few studies have focused on adolescent distance runners. Objectives: (1) To provide descriptive epidemiology of RRI (risks, rates, body regions/areas, and severity) and examine the training practices (frequency, volume, and intensity) of competitive adolescent distance runners (13–18 years) in England, and (2) to describe potential risk factors of RRI. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. Adolescent distance runners ( n = 113) were recruited from England Athletics affiliated clubs. Participants voluntarily completed an online questionnaire between April and December 2018. At the time of completion, responses were based on the participant's previous 12-months of distance running participation. Incidence proportions (IP) and incidence rates (IR) were calculated. Results: The IP for “all RRI” was 68% (95% CI: 60–77), while the IR was 6.3/1,000 participation hours (95% CI: 5.3–7.4). The most commonly injured body areas were the knee, foot/toes, and lower leg; primarily caused by overuse.

There is little academic evidence to support anecdotal reports that women are at a greater disadvantage than men from ill-fitting PPE. This is especially relevant in healthcare settings where women make up at least 75% of frontline workers. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated problems associated with the fit of PPE that until now have been mainly anecdotal. This research presents results and analysis of a quantitative and qualitative survey concerning the fit of PPE worn by 248 healthcare workers, in a variety of healthcare roles and settings, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis of the survey results showed that women were less likely than men to feel safe carrying out their roles, with only 30.5% of women and 53.3% of men stating that they felt safe all of the time. A statistically significant link is made between women suffering more with poor fit than men with certain categories of PPE (gowns, masks, visors, goggles). Over four times as many women (54.8%) as men (13.3%) reported their surgical gowns being large to some degree and women were nearly twice as likely (53.5%) to experience oversized surgical masks than men (28.6%). However, it was recognized that PPE fit problems are not exclusive to women as many men also do not conform to the underlying shape and size of PPE designs. Survey results indicated that both sexes felt equally hampered due to the fit of their PPE and around a third of both women and men had modified their PPE to address fit issues. Oversized and modified PPE presents its own set of unintended consequences. Following strict processes for doffing and removing PPE is key to virus control but doffing modified PPE can fall outside of these processes, risking cross infection. In addition, wearers of critical items of PPE (such as respirators) currently undergo a "fit test"; however, fit does not reconcile with comfort and over-tightened PPE can cause headaches, discomfort and distraction when worn for long periods. Requirements and fit tests are also not setting-specific; qualitative responses from the survey give an indication that this must be a future consideration.}, journal={Applied Ergonomics}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Janson, D.J. and Clift, B.C. and Dhokia, V.}, year={2022}, month={Feb}, pages={103610} }

The current coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic presents an extraordinary public health challenge. The WHO defines a pandemic as the global spread of a new disease for which there is little or no pre-existing immunity in the human population. Worldwide, we have seen ambitious public health measures implemented by governments, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike. Yet, there is still more to be done to ‘flatten the curve’ and mitigate the impact of this pandemic.
Sporting ‘mega-events’ are international, out of the ordinary and generally large in composition.1 These include the Olympic Games, which provide mass-spectacle for the public2 while producing significant health and socioeconomic impacts for host nation(s),3 including an increased risk for transmission of infectious diseases.4 Therefore, pandemics like covid-19 bring added urgency to examine the impacts of hosting sporting mega-events.

Attempts to revitalize, recast, and spectacularize the urban environment left cities with vexing questions about what should be done with homeless people and also what homeless people should be doing. Amidst the rolling back of State social welfare policies and provision (Peck & Tickell, 2002), creative, informal, communal, or non-governmental initiatives have emerged in response to urban poverty and homelessness. One such organization is Back on My Feet, a national, not-for-profit organization that partners with homeless and addiction recovery facilities, which strives to utilize running as a means of empowerment. This ethnographic inquiry speaks to the ways in which the social practice of running amongst those housed in a temporary recovery facility is imbricated with their lifestyles and identities, an urban context, and homeless discourses and stigmas. It is illustrative of how the rhetoric of “recovery” yokes together the entrepreneurial ethos of neoliberalism with the management of homeless people.}, number={2}, journal={Sociology of Sport Journal}, publisher={Human Kinetics}, author={Clift, Bryan C.}, year={2020}, month={Jun}, pages={96–107} }

Despite this growth, sport is often considered a phenomenon not associated with politics. Coupled with the popular perception that sport is too trivial or insignificant for serious research, sport and politics are not often connected or given significant consideration. One impetus for scholars of sport and politics is to demonstrate the important relationship between the two. As it has advanced, the study of the relationship between sport and politics has become an interdisciplinary endeavor. No one home of sport and politics exists. Decentralized, its study appears in a diversity of disciplines, notably within and in relation to cultural studies, economics, history, kinesiology, literature, geography, management, media and communications, political science, sociology, or urban studies. Political science alone is comprised of a range of fields and subfields (e.g., administration, policy, political theory, political economy, international relations, etc.). Acknowledging this diversity, both sport and politics come with definitional challenges. Sport is often associated with a structured organized activity that is goal-oriented, competitive, ludic, and physical. But commentators, critics, and everyday usage of the term often conflate it with exercise and physical activity, which are arguably less competitive and structured activities. Politics, too, can be taken in two common, and distinctive yet overlapping conceptual frames: The first involves the people, activities, processes, and decisions in the practices of governing a defined populace. The second takes a broader sense of the power relations and dynamics between people, which goes well beyond the strict understanding of institutions and government. Within the field, there is contention around whether or not the study of sport and politics should remain focused on practices of government alone, or if the latter conceptualization should be included. Regardless of where one sits on this issue, the study of sport and politics does indeed incorporate cross-cutting ideas of “sport” and “politics.” Early research on sport and politics focused on the more governmental side of politics, examining international relations, policy, diplomacy, or political ideology within specific countries, cities, or locales. This work has flourished since the early 1980s. Simultaneously, research foci pushed the boundaries of sport and politics by including broader understandings of power. Sporting organizations, teams, federations, international organizations, events, athletes, and celebrities, as well as exercise and physical activity practices, have been brought together with a range of politicized inquiry in relation to, for example, activism, conflict resolution, disability, environmental issues, ethnicity, health, human rights, gambling, gender, metal health, peace, pleasure, race, security, sexuality, social justice, social responsibility, urbanism, or violence.

Methods: A total of 15 adolescent distance runners (15.2 [1.6] y) performed a 2-part incremental treadmill test for the assessment of maximal oxygen uptake, heart rate (HR), and blood lactate responses. Participants were familiarized with RPE and dRPE during the treadmill test using the Foster modified CR-10 Borg scale. Subsequently, each participant completed a regular 2-wk mesocycle of training. Participants wore an HR monitor for each exercise session and recorded their training in a logbook, including sRPE, dRPE leg exertion (dRPE-L), and breathlessness (dRPE-B) following session completion (0 min), 15 min postsession, and 30 min postsession. Results: sRPE, dRPE-L, and dRPE-B scores were all most likely lower when reported 30 min postsession compared with scores 0 min postsession (%change, ±90% confidence limits; sRPE −26.5%, ±5.5%; dRPE-L −20.5%, ±5.6%; dRPE-B −38.9%, ±7.4%). sRPE, dRPE-L, and dRPE-B all maintained their largest correlations (r = .74–.89) when reported at session completion (0 min) in comparison with each of the HR-based criteria measures. Conclusion: sRPE, whether reported 0, 15, or 30 min postsession, provides a valid measure of internal training load in adolescent distance runners.

The crux of Woolridge's argument appears to be that the literature is punctuated within numerous case studies of football stars, yet lacks an 'overarching framework within which the football star can be better understood' (2002: 51). While we concur with Woolridge's identi cation of the football star as a core aspect of contemporary football culture and intellectual analysis, our pathways diverge when it comes to what we consider to be the existence of established theoretical bases for the interpretation of the myriad dimensions of the football star phenomenon. Indeed, Woolridge's solution to the theoretical absences she identi ed – we would argue all too conveniently – encompassed a blend of approaches drawn from cultural studies, media studies, and lm studies, that are themselves evident in the contextual and interpretative approaches of those whose work she either repudiated or was perhaps not fully aware of at the time (speci cally Chas Critcher (1982, 1991), Garry Whannel (1999, 2001a), and Richard Giulianotti (1999)).

This is also about the people of Back on My Feet (2010), a nonprofit organization that partners with addiction and homelessness recovery centers to empower those recovering through the practice of running. I detail, in particular, how these tensions problematize the desire to help others, challenge my sense of self, and challenge my own politics, all while trying not to undercut the positive effects of the organization, the people, and its practices. Piecing together stories from my experience, memory, and notes, I write to learn and make known my own hesitancies, hypocrisies, and uncertainties expressed through my body in search of urban social justice and to work toward decolonizing my inquiry.}, number={5}, journal={Cultural Studies ↔ Critical Methodologies}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Clift, Bryan C.}, year={2014}, month={Jul}, pages={496–505} }

Problematically, today's global food system provides this access to only certain members of the global population. Food justice has emerged as a local, national, and global movement, working simultaneously from across and within state arenas, local communities, global markets, and geographic boundaries. The movement works to build and support strong and sustainable local food systems and ensure equal access to fresh, healthy, and culturally relevant, ethically produced food. Pertinent concerns of the food justice movement are inequalities and barriers to access, environmental consequences of industrial food production, and the widespread consequences of increasing corporate monopoly over food markets.}, journal={The Wiley‐Blackwell Encyclopedia of Globalization}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Galli, Anya M. and Clift, Bryan C.}, year={2012}, month={Feb} }

Despite masquerading behind a veneer of political neutrality - originally advanced by Coubertin et al. as a cornerstone of the Olympic movement - the politically motivated actions of the national organising committees, and at times the events which enveloped succeeding Olympic Games, have rendered apoliticism little more than an anachronistic part of the Olympics' brand identity.3 While discussions of the politicisation of the contemporary Olympics routinely default to the monumentally politicised Olympic spectacles - such as Berlin 1936, Moscow 1980, Salt Lake City 2002 and Beijing 2008, to name but a few - it is our contention that analysis of less overtly politicised games is equally instructive. It is this assumption that drew us to the phenomenon of Rio 2016.}, journal={The Palgrave Handbook of Olympic Studies}, publisher={Palgrave Macmillan UK}, author={Clift, Bryan C. and Andrews, David L.}, year={2012}, pages={210–229} }

Using Foucault's conceptions of power, discipline and subjectivity, we situate women's participation on the soccer team within the context of a corporatized Division-I University. As sport has become increasingly corporatized, low-profile sports have begun to emulate high-profile sports. The corporate university and corporate sport model indicative of high-profile college programs, such as the one involved in this study, use (sporting) bodies as resources, rendering them detached and alienated from many college experiences. As evidenced in the data from this study, the pedagogies of highly structured schedules and authoritative-, peer- and self-disciplining mechanisms functioned to normalize the experiences of stress, tension, isolation, loneliness and little autonomy. Nevertheless, we also discuss a point of rupture, wherein two women, for different reasons, refused their athletic subjectivities at The University after their first semester by discontinuing their athletic participation. The contextualization of such experiences reveals the complex relations of power emerging from young adults’ immersion into an athletic system imbued with corporatist ideologies housed within a simulated aura of education and development. This paper aims not to provide definitive answers but rather, by exploring power relations, to open for discussion critical questions about college athletics and to advocate for a more humanist research agenda that considers athletic subjectivities.}, number={3}, journal={Sport, Education and Society}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Clift, Bryan C. and Mower, Ronald L.}, year={2013}, pages={349–369} }
