Our aim was to investigate (1) gender representation, (2) opportunities and training and (3) harassment experiences in Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) practitioners working in elite sport in Australia.
All titled Australian Physiotherapy Association Sport and Exercise Physiotherapists, SEM Physicians and Registrars and doctors and physiotherapists (SEM practitioners) currently/previously/aspiring to work in Australian elite sport were invited to participate in a bespoke online survey and the Gender Experiences Questionnaire.
For SEM practitioners currently working in elite sport, men worked more paid hours each week (mean difference (MD) 12.2 (95% CI 5.5 to 19.0)) and more paid weeks each year (MD 6.8 (95% CI 1.2 to 12.5)). Women SEM practitioners (both currently and previously) were more likely than men to work with women, rather than men athletes. All women SEM practitioners experienced significantly more gender harassment, infantilisation, work/family policing and gender policing than men. For SEM practitioners (both current and previous), there were no gender differences in how practitioners found out about or were recruited to their elite sports roles. Women were four times more likely than men to report that their gender or sexual orientation influenced their opportunities in elite sport. Most roles were not advertised with direct approach being the most common method of job recruitment.
Women SEM practitioners currently working in elite sport worked less paid hours per week and less paid weeks per year. All SEM practitioners were appointed to positions without established procedures, and there were significant challenges for women SEM practitioners in the elite sport workplace with women facing considerably more gender harassment than men.
我们的目的是调查（1）澳大利亚精英体育领域运动与运动医学（SEM）从业者中的性别代表性、（2）机会与培训以及（3）骚扰经历。
邀请所有拥有澳大利亚理疗协会头衔的运动与运动理疗师、SEM医生及注册医生以及目前/曾经/有志于在澳大利亚精英体育领域工作的医生和理疗师（SEM从业者）参与一项定制的在线调查和性别经历问卷。
对于目前在精英体育领域工作的SEM从业者，男性每周的有偿工作时长更多（平均差（MD）为12.2（95%置信区间为5.5至19.0）），每年的有偿工作周数也更多（MD为6.8（95%置信区间为1.2至12.5））。女性SEM从业者（包括目前和曾经的）比男性更有可能与女性运动员而非男性运动员合作。所有女性SEM从业者经历的性别骚扰、 infantilisation、工作/家庭监管和性别监管都明显多于男性。对于SEM从业者（包括目前的和曾经的），在了解或被招募到精英体育岗位的方式上没有性别差异。女性报告其性别或性取向影响其在精英体育领域机会的可能性是男性的四倍。大多数岗位没有进行招聘广告宣传，直接联系是最常见的招聘方式。
目前在精英体育领域工作的女性SEM从业者每周的有偿工作时长和每年的有偿工作周数较少。所有SEM从业者都是在没有既定程序的情况下被任命到岗位的，女性SEM从业者在精英体育工作场所面临重大挑战，女性面临的性别骚扰比男性多得多。
