摘要

摘要:男性运动员在比赛季之外,当他们有机会通过增重来增加力量和肌肉质量时,他们所面临的身体成分方面的压力还没有得到很好的理解。在这篇文章中,我们利用后结构主义理论框架分析了对八名美国奥运会举重男子的深入采访,这些人不断利用自己的身体成分来对抗自己的竞争潜力。我们发现,尽管我们的受访者主要依靠强调身体功能的运动话语,拒绝男性的身体理想,但他们将关于体脂“低效”的运动理念与关于其“不健康”的主流话语结合在一起,这种融合与不愿意增加体重等级有关。我们反思这种看似倾向于避免增加力量的主要生理策略(即肥大)。

Down with the Thickness?: Male Olympic Weightlifters’ Negotiations of Weight Class, Strength, & Body Composition
ABSTRACT The pressures around body composition that male athletes face outside of their competitive season – when they have the opportunity to increase their strength and muscle mass through weight gain – are not well-understood. In this article, we utilise a poststructuralist theoretical framework to analyse in-depth interviews with eight male American Olympic Weightlifters, a population that continuously leverages their body compositions against their competitive potential. We find that although our interviewees primarily relied on athletic discourses emphasising body functionality and rejected male body ideals, they combined athletic ideas about the ‘inefficiency’ of body fat with dominant discourses about its ‘unhealthiness,’ a conflation that was associated with an unwillingness to increase their weight classes. We reflect on this seeming tendency to avoid a major physiological strategy (i.e. hypertrophy) that increases strength.
