Why Would Anyone Do That?: Lifestyle Sport in the Twenty-First Century - Critical Issues in Sport and Society
Stephen C. Poulson
Triathlons, such as the famously arduous Ironman Triathlon, and “extreme” mountain biking are prime examples of the new “lifestyle sports” that have grown in recent years from oddball pursuits into multi-million-dollar industries. Sociologist Stephen C. Poulson offers an exploration of these new and physically demanding sports, shedding light on why some people find them so compelling.
