Bodybuilding and Fitness Doping in Transition. Historical Transformations and Contemporary Challenges
Article Bodybuilding and Fitness Doping in Transition. Historical Transformations and Contemporary Challenges Jesper Andreasson 1,* and Thomas Johansson 2 1 Department of Sport Science, Linnaeus University, 39182 Kalmar, Sweden 2 Department of Education, Learning and Communication, University of Gothenburg, 40530 Gothenburg, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 January 2019; Accepted: 27 February 2019; Published: 4 March 2019 Abstract: This article describes and analyses the historical development of gym and fitness culture in general and doping use in this context in particular. Theoretically, the paper utilises the concept of subculture and explores how a subcultural response can be used analytically in relation to processes of cultural normalisation as well as marginalisation. The focus is on historical and symbolic negotiations that have occurred over time, between perceived expressions of extreme body cultures and sociocultural transformations in society—with a perspective on fitness doping in public discourse. Several distinct phases in the history of fitness doping are identified. First, there is an introductory phase in the mid-1950s, in which there is an optimism connected to modernity and thoughts about scientifically-engineered bodies. Secondly, in the 1960s and 70s, a distinct bodybuilding subculture is developed, cultivating previously unseen muscular male bodies. Thirdly, there is a critical phase in the 1980s and 90s, where drugs gradually become morally objectionable. The fourth phase, the fitness revolution, can be seen as a transformational phase in gym culture. The massive bodybuilding body is replaced with the well-defined and moderately muscular fitness body, but at the same time there are strong commercialised values which contribute to the development of a new doping market. -

Perspective of personal trainers. JOANNA JANKOWSKA University of Wrocław, POLAND Published online: April 30, 2021 (Accepted for publication April 15, 2021) DOI:10.7752/jpes.2021.s2156 Abstract Sport is, without a doubt, an inherent part of our culture and social life. Changes in social reality connected with the emergence of COVID-19 and resulting introduction of particular actions aimed at prevention of spreading the danger, have not bypassed the world of sport or, widely understood, fitness culture. Colossal changes, which stopped everything for a moment, have ensued. The effect of those changes was suspension of operation of fitness facilities involved in fitness culture, including fitness clubs or gyms. The fitness world, the community of creators as well as consumers of fitness culture, collided with a new reality and new challenges. The loss of workplaces, e.g. for trainers, and the lack of spaces to be physically active have influenced immensely how sport activities look like for the subjects actively taking care of their health, physical condition, their bodies and appearance. What is Polish fitness world currently struggling with? How personal trainers are faring in the era of COVID-19? How does the collaboration of personal trainers and their clients look like? How does the fitness community find themselves in the new “coronavirus”, pandemic reality? What strategies were adopted by the personal trainers to survive and be able to function actively in their professions? I will try to answer these specific questions in this article, based on my own research, which had an exploratory character and was aimed at recognizing the experiences of personal trainers as the main representatives of the new reality connected to the emergence of COVID-19. -

Exclusive ACE study investigates the fitness benefits of popular boot camp–style workouts LETTER FROM THE EDITOR got a late start on my spring cleaning this year. As I write this letter, August is more than half over and I’ve spent much of the month clearing out drawers and closets and making countless trips to the Salvation Army to drop off donations. ITalk about cleansing—I’ve reached that point in my life where I actually derive more pleasure from getting rid of stuff than I do from acquiring new things. And, according to at least one recent diet book, clearing out the clutter in my home may offer the added benefit of helping me get rid of extra pounds. The notion that too much stuff equals too much fat is just one of many novel (and some not-so-novel) ideas presented in a slew of new diet books. This is the time of year when publishers start sending out advance copies of their new re- leases and the stack on my desk seems to grow daily. Some titles appeal to our belief that other people know the secret to staying slim, such as those who live on Park Avenue or work on Wall Street. Others claim to have found the elusive magic bullet, which is really just a dietary supplement they’re selling (because that’s where the real money is). And still others revisit familiar territory, such as low-carb, low-fat or good old-fashioned calorie counting. -

The Fit Body: on the Emergence of Fitness Culture and the Fitness Center
The Fitness Movement and the Fitness Center Industry, 1960-2000 Marc Stern Since the 1960s, the nature of recreational physical fitness activity in the United States has changed considerably. By 2000, private fitness centers were ubiquitous features on the American landscape. Increasingly centralized ownership characterized the field from 1970 onward. Men and, more significantly, women, joined, left, and rejoined these ever-more mechanized establishments. Images of health, beauty, professional success, and sexuality emphasized athleticism and muscle tone. Fitness took on an especially powerful meaning to women affected by the burgeoning feminist movement, their new economic roles, the rise of women‘s sports, and the volatile marital and social environment. Fitness centers also emerged as social centers where people went to see and meet members of the opposite or same sex. Paradoxically, as this greater focus on the body and formalized exercise occurred for some, a larger portion of the population grew increasingly unhealthy and obesity became a problem among all age cohorts. Prior to the 1970s, relatively few Americans exercised routinely. In 1960, for example, only 24 percent claimed to exercise regularly.1 However, something changed over the next two decades. ―A new class has come among us,‖ intoned New York Magazine in 1978, ―that defines elitism in an entirely different manner. For this is the time of the Physical Elite, a class of American men, women, and children who are . exercising—a little, a moderate amount, or in staggering gulps.‖2 By 1987, a Gallup poll trumpeted that 69 percent of Americans said they exercised regularly.3 In this paper, I report on one aspect of that growth, the rise of the 1 J. -
