However, their theoretical and methodological approaches have been as diverse as these investigations. This article, using concrete examples, reflects on the theoretical and methodological implications applied to the study of the body and corporality in the gyms, and aims to show that there is not a rigid set of embodied practices or one type of gym users; on the contrary, they can vary depending on multiple factors such as economic, cultural, or geographical context. It concludes with the author's opinion that Physical Cultural Studies offers an excellent set of tools to investigate the physical and subjective aspects of gym practices. 2015 artículo científico 2340-8413 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=441542974003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4415 methaodos.revista de ciencias sociales application/pdf Universidad Rey Juan Carlos methaodos.revista de ciencias sociales (España) Num.2 Vol.3 |
