This edited volume draws upon work from a wide range of established and emerging international scholars to provide an interdisciplinary analysis of sport’s complex relationship with masculinity. With a particular focus on Latin America, it examines the changing relationship between a range of contemporary sport and sexuality and gender expression, as related to lesbian, gay and/or trans athletes. Experts from Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia provide historical, sociological and anthropological perspectives on heteronormativity, masculinity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and the gender binary as they relate to sports clubs, Mexican martial arts, football, softball, sports media, games, and physical education. It will be invaluable to scholars and students in the fields of Gender Studies, Queer Studies, Sports Studies, and Men’s Studies.

This book explores the experiences of self-identified heterosexual and gay men in contemporary South African gym contexts, particularly as it relates to how the intersection of spornosexual and inclusive masculinities inform their views and enactment of their masculine and sexual identities. Chapters engage with findings from an in-depth qualitative sociological exploration on issues surrounding these masculinities among men living in South Africa who engage in gym work. The author demonstrates that men, when given the opportunity to reflect on their own and the masculinity of others, acknowledge how they promote softer, kinder, disciplined, playful, and sexually agentic masculinities through their look and touch.

Drawing on extensive ethnographic, qualitative and quantitative research, this monograph provides a novel account of masculinities in an individual sport: competitive road cycling. Chapters present varied analyses on male cyclists’ relationship with masculinity, the culture of competitive road cycling, cyclists’ attitudes toward injury management, sexual minority and women’s experiences in the sport, and autoethnographic accounts of the author’s own experiences of being involved in the sport for over ten years. The author also examines how masculinity impacts male cyclists’ attitudes towards competition, risk taking and doping practices. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in sports sociology, gender studies, and masculinity studies.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of physical exercise, including CrossFit®, as an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans. Drawing on the author’s unique perspective as both a veteran and academic, it combines personal experience with research to evaluate exercise approaches such as strength training, aerobic activity, yoga, and mindfulness. It shows how these practices can support recovery, resilience, and mental health in ways that complement traditional therapies. A central theme is the influence of military masculinities in shaping how service members experience PTSD and respond to exercise-based interventions. The book critically examines how gender norms can both hinder and enable coping strategies, offering insights into adapting interventions to better meet veterans’ needs. Clear, engaging, and evidence-informed, this book is essential reading for veterans, mental health professionals, and researchers in psychology, sport science, and health who seek innovative approaches to trauma recovery.
