| Abstract (English): |
This article focuses on female snowboarders' experiences with, and perceptions of, snowboard competitions. The article is based on a study conducted at an international women's snowboard camp. The purpose of the camp was to discuss strategies for promoting females' participation in the snowboard organisations and in snowboard competition. Interviews were held with eight participants aged 18–31 years. Most of the participants had been previously involved in competition. Their experience had been both negative and positive. Most of the participants perceived snowboard facilities (Big air and Half-pipe) as being too large for females and a possible constraint on participation. Moreover, the study's findings reveal ideas concerning alternative competition formats as well as arguments for ‘women-only’ sessions as a feasible way to reach more female snowboarders, to provide skill enhancement, and to increase participation in the competitions. The findings are discussed in light of the development of snowboarding and Bourdieu's theoretical framework. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |

Este artigo tem foco nas experiências e percepções de mulheres snowboarders com competições de snowboard. O artigo é baseado em um estudo conduzido em um acampamento feminino internacional de snowboard. O acampamento tinha como propósito discutir estratégias para a promoção da participação feminina nas organizações de snowboard e em suas competições. Foram conduzidas entrevistas com oito participantes entre 18 e 31 anos de idade. A maioria das participantes já haviam participado de competições anteriormente. Suas experiências foram tanto negativas como positivas. A maior parte das participantes perceberam as instalações de snowboard (big air e halfpipe) como sendo muito grandes para mulheres e um possível motivo de afastamento de participantes. Além disso, os achados do estudo revelam ideias sobre formatos alternativos de competição, assim como argumentos para sessões "só para mulheres" como uma forma possível de alcançar mais mulheres snowboarders, de proporcionar a melhoria do nível de habilidade, e de aumentar a participação em competições. Os resultados são discutidos sob a luz do desenvolvimento do snowboard e do quadro teórico de Bourdieu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
