Description
The object of my research is to build and structure an offer of physical and sporting activities adapted to socially vulnerable children who live in priority neighborhoods for urban policy in the Hauts-de-France region. Children who, a priori, attest to a distant relationship to sports practice. To do this, our approach uses a multidisciplinary approach (sociology, psychology, physiology). Sociology is used through the use of scientific literature, to select our sample and identify factors positively and negatively associated with physical activity. Indeed, it has been widely demonstrated that it is the precarious populations that are the most affected by social inequalities in health, that these populations have social uses of the body that are very far removed from the various health recommendations in terms of practice. In addition, the various sociological findings lead us to focus on children in order to build a health habitus as early as possible, since it is at this age that primary and secondary socialization shapes the individual. Moreover, our approach considers that the notion of habitus alone cannot explain individual behaviors. Social psychology will also be mobilized to observe the inter-individual and intra-individual variations that can explain the behavior of children, their parents and their teachers in relation to physical and sporting activity (feeling of competence, representation about sports practice, etc.). Finally, the physiology of exercise will be used during the exploratory phase, to pass tests of physical conditions and to carry out an inventory of the physical fitness levels of children. During this communication, I will present the methodology of the survey, in particular its exploratory phase (questionnaires, tests of physical conditions, etc.) which will allow us to obtain elements about the social characteristics of the children, to draw up a fine portrait of the context, their social, physical and psychological environments. It is only following these field surveys that we will be able to set up our experiments in the selected schools. This research is therefore based on exploration, followed by the construction of protocols, the content of which depends on this exploration and literature reviews.
