Abstract

Women continue to be underrepresented and underserved in the field of strength and conditioning (S&C), yet scholarly work examining the experiences and perceptions of women S&C coaches is limited. Thus, the purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review of the existing literature on women S&C coaches to identify current trends as well as knowledge gaps. Four electronic databases (SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Academic Search Complete) were searched up to July 30, 2021. The initial search yielded 164 unique English-language papers, reviews, and book chapters. All in all, seven peer-reviewed articles were included, and data from these studies were charted. Each article offers insight into women’s experiences within the S&C industry, which are significantly different to their male counterparts. Based on our review of the findings, we recommend S&C coaches to participate in coach education programs and more women to be actively involved in the recruitment and hiring of S&C staff. While such findings are relevant, they have not fully explored the complexity of gender dynamics in S&C. Moreover, these recommendations will have limited long-term, sector-wide impact unless necessary policies are also implemented to help eradicate structure-level gender bias within the culture of S&C.

女性力量与体能教练的经验与认知:范围回顾
女性在力量与体能(S&C)领域的代表和服务仍然不足,然而,研究女性S&C教练的经验和看法的学术工作是有限的。因此,本研究的目的是对现有关于女性S&C教练的文献进行范围审查,以确定当前的趋势以及知识差距。四个电子数据库(SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, MEDLINE和Academic Search Complete)被检索到2021年7月30日。最初的搜索产生了164篇独特的英语论文、评论和书籍章节。总共纳入了7篇同行评议的文章,并将这些研究的数据绘制成图表。每篇文章都提供了S&C行业中女性经历的深刻见解,这些经历与男性同行有着显著的不同。根据我们对调查结果的回顾,我们建议S&C教练参加教练教育计划,并建议更多的女性积极参与S&C员工的招聘和雇用。虽然这些发现是相关的,但他们并没有充分探索S&C中性别动态的复杂性。此外,除非实施必要的政策,以帮助消除S&C文化中的结构层面的性别偏见,否则这些建议对整个行业的长期影响将有限。
