Aging (doing age) should be understood as a social construct that primarily offers self-empowerment opportunities for those who can follow the trend of age activation through sports\/fitness due to higher educational qualifications and greater financial resources, and who maintain a healthy lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe goal of this project was to analyze fitness studio advertising from an intersectional and inequality-reflective perspective based on the structural categories of body\/aging, gender, and class. It aimed to interview trainers with a focus on older active individuals (representation level) and to take a differentiated look at the self-techniques of older women active in fitness studios gathered through a qualitative interview study (subject level). On one hand, working on the body can strengthen one's own social positioning; on the other hand, devaluing others who do not follow the trend can give rise to a new form of 'lookism.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFitness and health in neoliberal societies in the reflection of gender, age, and social status.- Health systems and social inequalities in comparison Germany - USA.- Fitness studios and demographic change - analysis of images of aging, fitness discourses, and trainer expertise.- Methodological foundation and methodological approach.- Interview study with women aged 60-80 in comparison Germany (Kirchzarten\/Freiburg) - USA (Amherst).- Summary and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Gabriele Sobiech \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Professor of Sport and Body Sociology as well as Gender Studies at the University of Education Freiburg in Breisgau.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPRINGER, BERLIN; SPRINGER FACHMEDIEN WIESBADEN; SPRI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48869120311531,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":183.1,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783658474140-1.jpg?v=1781727827","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9783658474140","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
