Journal of Sport and Social Issues, 36(1), 3-24. doi 10.1177/01937235114338630193-7235906MF (isidoc)https://hdl.handle.net/10182/7231This article examines how sports scientists who operate outside the sports training arena are mobilized to work with gymnasts in New Zealand. Although sociology of sport has drawn attention to a variety of facets of sports science, there has been only little attention to the enrolment processes through which sports scientists become part of the sporting network. This study uses a perspective specifically developed by actor network theorists for the study of mobilization and enrolment: the “sociology of translation” (Callon). The results demonstrate how this perspective reveals the power relations within the gymnastics network and how a variety of different actors, including individuals like gymnasts and coaches, and organizations, such as the government, can determine how enrolment processes operate.pp.3-24en© 2016 by SAGE Publicationsactor network theorygymnasticsNew Zealandsociologysports scienceJournal Article10.1177/0193723511433863ANZSRC::1106 Human Movement and Sports Sciences1552-7638
