“…The importance of gender equality and the participation of women in this field has been emphasized in the literature. (Scelles & Pfister, 2021; Fisher, 2019) [52,22] . Burton (2015) [15] and LaVoi and Dutove (2012) [36] emphasize the importance of understanding the plausible rationale behind the limited female representation in the technical sports committee's leadership positions and the sociological and cultural phenomena that affect this reality.…”

The issue of gender equality holds significant relevance in the contemporary world. Despite the substantial progress made in anti-discrimination legislation and women's rights movements, it is disheartening to observe the persisting gender disparities in the sports environment. Even though there have been some groundbreaking studies on sports, achieving gender parity in leadership positions remains a challenging task. Thus, this study aimed to identify if the leadership occupations of Team Brazil at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games were balanced, considering the variable gender of the individuals who participated in the event. The research method utilized for this project was content analysis. This method systematically evaluates public information to classify and quantify data into various categories. Official information was obtained from the Brazilian Olympic Committee to assess gender representativeness in the positions of coaches and team leaders. The results revealed that Brazil participated in 35 sports disciplines, with 302 athletes, 141 women (46.7%) and 161 men (53.3%), 82 coaches, four women (4.9%) and 78 men (95.1%), and 39 team leaders, nine women (23.1%) and 30 men (76.9%). This study revealed that both male and female athletes were equally represented in the competition, but there was a significant gender imbalance among coaches and team leaders. These findings are consistent with similar studies conducted in other countries, and are indicative of a broader trend. While there are several plausible explanations for this, it is imperative that we continue to track the involvement of women in leadership positions to ensure progress towards gender equality. In order to promote gender equality, it is essential to provide accurate and comprehensive official information.

The study purpose was to look into the production of scientific publications on the Philosophy of Sports and Physical Education. Materials and methods. Scopus and Web of Science databases and various bibliometric indicators such as global publication trends, most active authors, number of citations, and author keywords were used to collect publications. Results. A total of 1103 publications on the philosophy of sport and physical education were found from 1981 to 2021. This review used data in comma-separated values (CSV) format for Scopus, which was then exported to Microsoft Excel and text documents in WoS format, as well as ScientoPy software. The research findings provide information that, from 1981 to 2021, publications experienced a fluctuating trend in quantity. Starting in 2016, publications have reached double digits, with the number of publications reaching 71 documents. The United States is listed as the most productive country with a number of published documents as high as 226 academic scientific works. Ryall, E., University of Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, became the most prolific author with a total of 33 publications. The Department of Philosophy in the United States is at the forefront of publications with 39 documents. Conclusions. A number of limitations in this study are unavoidable. First, the research method used by researchers is not completely perfect, including how to find documents, categorize documents, and document provider databases, which cannot be ignored. Researchers believe that this scientometric research provides important information about future research directions in the philosophy of sport and physical education.
