There are many applications, indeed. Check out the critical anthology "Sport, Sexualities and Queer Theory" edited by Jayne Caudwell.

Basically you need to show how the hegemonic ideologies of homophobia, heterosexism, heteronormativity and/or heterocentrism construct our knowledge system(s) for sports and physical education.

Hi,

my favorite basic publications on queer theory are:

> Theresa de Lauretis: Technologies of Gender. Essays on Theory, Film and Fiction. Bloominton. 1989

> Theresa de Lauretis: Queer theory. Lesbian and guy sexualities. In: differences. A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies 3.2 1991

> Dieter Haller: Die Entdeckung des Selbstverständlichen: Heteronormativität im Blick. In: kea. Zeitschrift für Kulturwissenschaft. 14.1-28. 2001

Furthermore for your 2nd question I heard about but have not read yet:

> Jayne Caudwell: Sport, Sexualities and Queer/Theory. Taylor and Francis 2006. ISBN-13: 978-0203020098

> Broad, K. L: The gendered unapologetic: queer resistance in women's sport. In: Sociology of Sport Journal 2001 Vol. 18 No. 2 pp. 181-204 . ISSN 0741-1235. http://www.cabdirect.org/abstracts/20013094617.html

Have a nice day

Heather Sykes has written queer theory related to sport. http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/ctl/Faculty_Staff/Faculty_Profiles/1313/Heather_Sykes.html

For some historical perspective on the topic and a few case studies, El vestuario de color rosa, by Patricia Nell Warren

http://www.editorialegales.com/libros/el-vestuario-de-color-rosa/9788488252315/

C.J. Pascoe's book, Dude, You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School, looked at how homophobia and heteronormativity affected the lives of High School students, including some observation of physical education classes and locker room banter. I highly recommend as an example of empirical work informed by queer theory.
