Resumé
Forskning peger på, at personer med psykiske lidelser ofte føler sig mere socialt inkluderet, når de deltager i sport og i de fællesskaber, der følger med. Dette studie undersøger, om Unified Sports giver en mere meningsfuld måde for disse atleter at deltage på, og om 'Unified'-konceptet bruges af sportsforeninger med et legitimt formål. Studiet bygger på Etienne Wengers teori om praksisfællesskaber for at forstå tilhørighed og læring i sportsfællesskaber, anvender Aaron Antonovskys oplevelse af sammenhæng til at belyse, hvordan atleter oplever forståelighed, håndterbarhed og mening, og trækker på Rasmus Nissen og Ulrik Wagners kapitler om ny-institutionel teori for at vurdere, hvordan sportsforeninger søger legitimitet. Undersøgelsen omfatter to cases inspireret af Bent Flyvbjerg—en ekstrem case og en paradigmatisk case—samt syv kvalitative interviews, der giver indblik i erfaringer fra både atleter og sportsforeninger. Interviewmaterialet blev analyseret tematisk. Resultaterne indikerer, at Unified Sports bidrager til en mere meningsfuld tilgang til sport for atleter med psykiske lidelser, mens sportsforeningers brug af Unified ikke har et legitimt formål.
Research suggests that people with mental disorders often feel more socially included when they participate in sport and the communities around it. This study examines whether Unified Sports offers a more meaningful way for these athletes to take part, and whether the 'Unified' concept is used by sports associations for a legitimate purpose. The study draws on Etienne Wenger’s communities of practice to understand belonging and learning in sport groups, uses Aaron Antonovsky’s sense of coherence to consider how athletes experience comprehensibility, manageability, and meaning, and applies chapters by Rasmus Nissen and Ulrik Wagner on new-institutional theory to assess how sports associations seek legitimacy. The research is based on two cases inspired by Bent Flyvbjerg—an extreme case and a paradigmatic case—and seven qualitative interviews that provide perspectives from athletes and from sports associations. The interview material was analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that Unified Sports contributes to a more meaningful approach to sport for athletes with mental disorders, while the use of the Unified concept by sports associations does not have a legitimate purpose.
