This study aimed to map the international scientific literature on the intersection between ballet and gender and sexuality through a systematic review and bibliometric analysis. The Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases were searched. First, the term 'ballet' combined with 'gender' was searched, and then a separate search was conducted using the term 'ballet' combined with 'sexuality.' The main issues detected by researchers concerning women in ballet was that they are not given the same opportunities to develop their creativity and agency as men and are absent from leadership positions. As for men, multiple analyses have been conducted regarding how they break gender barriers when they enter this environment, and the link between ballet and homosexuality is frequently discussed from a social perspective. This can make those who identify as heterosexual feel that they should emphasize their masculine characteristics so as not to be mistaken for homosexuals. However, there is a lack of tension from the perspective of ballet as a protection against heteronormativity for men considered deviant in the broader social logic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In an itinerant caravan during the 1980s and 1990s, Rei Zulu challenged hundreds of fighters all over Brazil without choosing opponents, weight category, or specific modality for vale tudo fights, being considered by some journalists as the greatest showman of this competitive practice. This article aims to analyze the background and the path taken by Rei Zulu to become one of the most prominent vale tudo fighters in Brazil. Based on the triangulation of sources, including news from Brazilian newspapers, interviews, biographies, and books on the topic, we verified the existence of a previous historical context of this fighting style in Maranhão, his home state, and the modus operandi he developed for his shows. It was concluded that vale tudo was practiced in Maranhão, since the 1950's, and that the historical context played a significant role in the rise of Rei Zulu as a local icon. He was responsible for finding opponents through challenges on radios, newspapers, and television shows. Rei Zulu also took over the organization of the events, their promotion and ticket sales. He also performed the main fight of the show and entertained the audience with faces, dances, and acrobatics during the fight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sporting success may be influenced by several factors, the magnitudes of which are revealed throughout the athletes' training process. This study sought to systematically review research that deals qualitatively with the sporting trajectory of elite athletes in artistic gymnastics (AG). The searches were conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, contemplating studies published before July 2020. Data extraction was organized according to the focus and location of the study (context), participants, and methodology used, whereby we analyzed the variables associated with the athletes' trajectory. We located 318 articles and, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 original studies were selected for the review. The articles used semi-structured interviews with athletes, former athletes, coaches, referees, and managers. In two studies, the authors used methodological assumptions of oral history: one of them documental analysis, and the other ethnography. The systematic review revealed that parental support is essential for insertion and retention in the sport, both for logistical (financing, transportation, organization of school activities) and emotional reasons. Financial support and good training facilities are factors that positively influence success in AG. A healthy relationship between the coach and the athlete is essential, but this relationship is often reported as authoritarian. The post-career phase must be planned and guided so that the transition happens gradually and the athlete is able to seek a new identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study investigated performance school sports practiced in private schools of Curitiba-PR, between 1980 and 1990, through interviews with coaches, athletes and sports managers who experienced the phenomenon in that period. The research is qualitative, and the investigation method used was pure Thematic Oral History. The analyses allowed observing that a good portion of Curitiba's schools back then had performance sports teams; the context of Curitiba's school sports was a sort of metaphor for professional sports; there was a hegemony of team sports; the women's sport sedimented on the interviewees' memory was gymnastics; teams were highly valued in schools; school teams participated in national and international championships; despite the performance character, there was already a difference from the sports played at clubs; some education institutions partnered with sports clubs.
