Situated within a growing body of literature analysing the impact of new training trends on an individual?s body, identity, lifestyle and perception of his/her social surroundings, Extreme Sports, Extreme Bodies focuses on the gendered and embodied experiences of bodybuilding, Ironman triathlon, and mixed martial arts. Through their ethnographic analysis, Andreasson and Johansson present a unique and updated account of the increasing phenomenon of extreme sports and extreme bodies in contemporary Western society, grounded in the sociology of sport, body studies and embodiment literature. 606 $aSports$xSociological aspects 606 $aSex 606 $aSport Sociology 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aSports$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aSport Sociology. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a796.046 700 $aAndreasson$b Jesper$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0942275 702 $aJohansson$b Thomas$f1959- 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337707203321 996 $aExtreme Sports, Extreme Bodies$92519355 997 $aUNINA
