(2003, background): “…boys as a group demonstrate a desire for physical contact in sports as central experiences in order to establish an acceptable masculine identity (Gard & Meyenn, 2000), girls are struggling to negotiate their gender status that is ambiguous or contradictory to the social and cultural…”
• Fun and enjoyment in physical education: young people’s attitudes (2011, background): “This supports Gard and Meyenn ( 2000 ), who found physical education, and particularly contact sports, to represent a release from the relatively static classroom where the movements of the body are more strictly policed.”
