The aim of this paper is to explore track cycling through visual and aural sensory modalities. We draw on Pink’s work on emplacement and of the researcher serving an apprenticeship by engaging through first-hand experience and learning track practices and routines in which we reflected on our visual and aural senses to account for understanding the body and the transformations it undergoes when riding track. This speaks to Hockey and Allen-Collinson’s call for a ‘fleshy perspective’ by reintroducing the body into sporting practice. Undertaking an auto-ethnographic method, we use diarised notes drawn from six track cycling sessions to account for sensory experiences by reflecting on aural and visual senses in the context of the skills we acquired during track sessions. In this, the emergent narrative situates the body as a place of contestation and transition, whereby our visual and aural modalities are the senses by which we narrate our improving aptitude, and attained physical capital, on the track.

本文的目的是通过视觉和听觉感官方式探索赛道自行车。我们借鉴了 Pink 在安置和服务学徒方面的研究工作通过参与第一手经验和学习赛道实践和例程，我们反思我们的视觉和听觉感官，以解释对身体的理解以及在赛道上经历的变化。这说明了曲棍球和 Allen-Collinson 呼吁通过将身体重新引入运动实践来获得“肉体视角”。采用自动人种学方法，我们使用从六个田径自行车课程中提取的日记笔记，通过在我们在田径课程中获得的技能的背景下反思听觉和视觉感官来解释感官体验。在这种情况下，涌现的叙事将身体定位为一个竞争和过渡的地方，我们的视觉和听觉模式是我们在轨道上叙述我们不断提高的能力和获得的物质资本的感官。
