This research has been based upon the theoretical field of Gender Studies. Twenty-one female athletes and former athletes that perform technical and managerial functions in the area of sports in Portugal have been interviewed. Three meaning units have emerged. The analysis of these units has allowed for the identification of developments in widening women’s participation in sports, even though women have to both diversify their functions and accept work conditions that differ from those available to men. Rejecting the position of victims, the women interviewed have converted those asymmetries into challenges and have also suggested actions to encourage, widen, and consolidate female participation in all levels of sports.Downloads
