Preliminary Insights as an Outsider Researcher in Female Bodybuilding and Physique Athletes
Ethnographic methods provide meaningful treatment and interpretation of data, especially in doing Sociology of Sport Research. Experiences of different researchers imply a variety of challenges in gathering data, especially coming as an outsider. Different studies highlighted the access of “insiders” to their chosen discipline to provide better rapport with their participants, and that the “insider” access might provide perceived convenience in data gathering. Studying bodybuilding has also been dominated by this point of view. The paper aims to present the initial experiences and insights as a first step in doing research related to women’s bodybuilding and physique competition, as someone coming from outside the subculture. The article offers a review on contemporary studies related to the discipline, especially on the discussions on methods and being an insider or an outsider researcher.
