学者们认为，体育是一个高度性别化的空间，主导群体和从属群体在这里进行抵抗和反抵抗的斗争。这项研究有两个局限性。首先，大多数调查仅限于成年妇女;对青春期女性的检查几乎不存在。其次，大多数研究都集中在印刷和广播新闻上。一个重要的媒介--青少年体育小说的影响被忽视了。这项调查分析了“孤独女孩”小说（青春期女性主角参加男孩队），以及专注于女性团队运动的书籍。调查结果显示，单身女孩小说的特点是女主人公违背了她们的“本性”。描写女性团体运动的小说将其等同于异性恋的欲望，从而破坏了女性的团结。这些结果构成了一个虚构的否认体育作为一个网站的阻力和增强权能的运动女性。
Scholars have argued that sport is a highly gendered space where dominant and subordinate groups engage in struggles of resistance and counter-resistance. There are two limitations with this research. First, the majority of investigations have been confined to adult women; examinations of adolescent females are virtually nonexistent. Second, most research has focused on print and broadcast journalism. The influence of one important medium—young adult sports fiction—has been neglected. This investigation analyzed “lone girl” novels (where adolescent female protagonists try out for boys’ teams), as well as books focusing on women’s team sports. Findings revealed lone girl novels characterized female protagonists as going against their “true nature.” Novels featuring women’s team sports undermined female solidarity by equating it with heterosexual desire. These results constitute a fictional denial of sport as a site of resistance and empowerment for athletic females.
