“…In the first, it has the expertise and technical equipment to arouse the interest of consumers. On the other hand, it brings important financial resources to sport in terms of broadcasting rights (Thibault 2009). Here I can distinguish two sorts of media: those that are directly linked to bodybuilding, and the rest.…”

This article sheds light on the gendered economics of bodybuilding, a topic that, to my knowledge, has not previously been studied. First displaying its history, it examines how the economy of such a sport was born, focusing on the principles and values of capitalism and then creating the 'bodybuilding's industry'. In particular, the article stresses the gendered dimension of such an industry relying on 'hegemonic masculinity', especially through the relevant media, which are at the core of this gendered framework. I use a qualitative methodology to understand the subject, analyzing the French magazines related to bodybuilding, which embodies the whole functioning of such an industry. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Dışarıdan yemyeşil görünen ve muhteşem bir manzaraya sahip bir golf sahası düşünelim. Bir golf sahası kurmak için, doğal bitki örtüsü ve yaşam alanının temizlenmesi, ağaçlar, çalılıklar, bitkilerin oyun düzenine göre düzenlenmesi, yapay tepelerin oluşturulması gerekir (Global Anti-Golf Movement, 2004;Thibault, 2009). Golf sahalarının doğal olmayan düzeninin korunması için, böcek popülasyonlarını kontrol etmek adına böcek ilacı ve çeşitli kimyasallar kullanarak bulunduğu bölgedeki toprağın tüketilmesi insan eliyle sağlanır.…”

“…Tüm paydaşlar tarafından müsabakalara gidiş ve gelişten kaynaklanan karbon emisyonları da sonuçların hesaplanmasında etkili olmaktadır (Houghton, 2007;Pfahl, 2013). Bir spor organizasyonu sonucunda 66.5 ton atık oluşmuş ve bu atığın geri dönüşümlü olanları sadece %1 olarak kaydedilmiştir (Thibault, 2009). …”

In this article, under the concept of environmental sustainability, it is focused on sustainability of sports organizations, ecologic footprints and its environmental effects. Sustainable development tries to maximize the resource productivity through activities such like protection of energy and un-renewable resources, reducing the risks, pollution prevention, reducing the ecologic footprints and minimization of wastes. Active and passive participation to sports events create an important effect on natural environment. Environmental degradation is caused by carbon emissions stemming from going to the events and coming back by all the shareholders, wastes produced in those areas, water and energy used to keep the playgrounds very green, arrangement of the fields, environmental damages of the constructions and many other factors, and they are required to be eliminated. In recent years, studies conducted on the environmental effects of big sports events have become frequently a current issue and host cities/countries have taken the proper steps in this regard and tried to apply the sanctions. We encounter development of a sustainability plan intended to produce carbon neutral, zero waste and a sustainable organization as one of the most efficient practices in determination of score in candidacy competition for the Olympic Games. Although IOC has involved aspect for Özet Bu makalede, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik kavramı çatısı altında, spor organizasyonlarının sürdürülebilirliği, ekolojik ayak izleri ve çevresel etkileri konularına odaklanılmıştır. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma, enerji ve yenilenemeyen kaynakların korunması, risklerin azaltılması, kirliliğin önlenmesi, ekolojik ayak izinin küçültülmesi ve atığın en aza indirgenmesi gibi faaliyetler yoluyla kaynak verimliliğini en üst düzeye çıkarmak için çabalamaktadır. Spor olaylarına aktif ve pasif katılım, doğal çevre üzerinde önemli bir etki yaratır. Tüm paydaşlar tarafından olaylara gidiş ve gelişten kaynaklanan karbon emisyonları, bu alanlarda üretilen atıklar, oyun alanlarını yemyeşil tutabilmek için kullanılan su ve enerji, alanların düzenlenmesi, inşaatlarının çevresel zararları ve daha birçok etmen çevresel bozulmaya yol açmakta ve elimine edilmesi gerekmektedir. Büyük spor olaylarının çevresel etkileri konusunda yapılan çalışmalar, son zamanlarda sık sık gündeme gelmekte ev sahibi şehir\ülkeler bu konuda gerekli önlemleri alarak, yaptırımları uygulamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Karbon nötr, sıfır atık ve sürdürülebilir bir organizasyon gerçekleştirmeyi amaçlayan bir sürdürülebilirlik planını geliştirilmesi, Olimpiyat Oyunları adaylık yarışında sonucun belirlenmesinde en etkili uygulamalardan birisi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.

“…As there are country-specific differences in job requirements, duties, and reality as well as in professional sport (manager) careers (Thibault, 2009), curriculum development and educational concepts for prospective sport managers may differ, of course. Gender issues and biases should also be considered, as highly ranked established (sport) manager positions are hard to access by women (Humberstone, 2009).…”

The immersive and engaging characteristics of digital games are leading current pedagogical discussions about digital media. Game scientists, (pedagogical) researches, and practitioners continue to attempt to embed digital games in pedagogical settings. They consider these games to be so called serious games. The idea of serious games is that a digital game is not only played for fun and entertainment, but to employ the specific game-play for serious learning processes and outcomes in a specific field of learning or work. Hence, the question arises, whether a digital sport-management game can assist prospective sport managers and students of sport management at the introduction to this complex field of work. To tackle the research question, it is necessary to investigate the profession of sport managers in "real" life and compare the game-play of a digital sport management game to them. Therefore, the best selling and most famous so-called commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) game FIFA Manager 09 by EA Sports is picked to be the subject of analysis. "Virtual" sport-manager competencies were compared to "real-world" sportmanager competencies to find any matching. As a result, there actually is a high congruence between sport-management competence-models and the digital game's game-play.
