The Family Is My Priority
Socioeconomic status (SES) is known to influence strongly both life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. Whilst there are multiple factors with complex interactions that provide the explanation for this observation, differences in the uptake of physical activity between high and low SES groups play a role. This in-depth qualitative study set out to understand the response of a group of mothers with young children living in a low SES area of a …
Adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle in low SES families
Mothers from this low SES area responded differently to the public health guidance on diet and on physical activity. Whilst providing and modelling a healthy diet was seen as an essential part of the mother's role, participating in leisure based physical activity was problematic, and unless carefully framed, could be perceived as selfish behaviour, inappropriate for the "good" mother
Qualitative findings from a systematic review
This article reports on an investigation of the effects of ‘visual arts’-based programmes on subjective well-being (SWB) outcomes for adults with mental health conditions. In a systematic review, electronic databases were searched for articles published from January 2007 to April 2017. Grey literature completed from January 2014 to April 2017 was also considered. Six published articles of mostly moderate quality and six evaluation reports (grey l…

Why would you want to stand?” an account of the lived experience of employees taking part in a workplace sit-stand desk intervention
Background Sit-stand desk interventions have the potential to reduce workplace sedentary behaviour and improve employee health. However, the extent of sit-stand desk use varies between employees and in different organisational contexts. Framed by organisational cultural theory and product design theory, this study examined employees’ lived experience of taking part in a workplace sit-stand desk intervention, to understand the processes influencin…
Community Sport and the Politics of Aging
The promotion of physical activity for older people is dominated by biomedically informed polices emphasising the prescription of exercise as medicine and a universal approach to the promotion of active ageing in later life. Yet, more recent research recognises that being physically active in later life is complex and contested, shaped by the intersections of biological, psychological and sociological experiences, and requires differentiated resp…
What works for wellbeing? A systematic review of wellbeing outcomes for music and singing in adults
A qualitative investigation of the role of sport coaches in designing and delivering a complex community sport intervention for increasing physical activity and improving health
Training for sport coaches is required to develop understandings of public health and skills in targeting, recruiting and retaining inactive people to community sport. Public involvement in designing community sport is significant in empowering inactive people to take part. Ongoing knowledge exchange activities between the community sport and public health sector are also required in ensuring community sport can increase physical activity and imp…

These Safeguards were developed, implemented, and evaluated based on a pilot process which took place over the preceding 2 years. Throughout this piloting phase, a range of qualitative techniques were employed to capture the experiences of people within 32 of the organizations that were working toward the International Safeguards. The participant organizations vari…

The mediating effects of family on sport in international development contexts
The role of family in influencing sports behaviour is widely recognized. This article extends this body of knowledge by examining how the family influences young people's responses to sport programmes operating in international development contexts. Recognizing the central role of the family as a social institution, the article highlights the cultural significance and specificity of the family, and the importance of this to sport programmes which…
Masculinities, gender relations and leisure studies
The genesis for this special edition occurred at the 8th Biennial Australian and New Zealand Association of Leisure Studies conference hosted by Victoria University, Melbourne in 2008. A special theme, organized by Tess Kay, Kevin Lyons and John Jenkins encouraged eight presenters to examine masculinities and leisure under the title of ‘Unlocking men: Presentations around the theme of men, gender and leisure’. Three papers are worthy of specific …
Youth sport volunteering
This paper analyses the capacity of youth sport volunteering to contribute to the development of social capital. Following a review of the emergence of social capital as a key theme in UK sport policy, the paper focuses on the ability of a structured sports volunteering programme to equip young people with skills for effective volunteering, and provide opportunities for ‘social connectedness’ through sports volunteer placements. The study uses su…
Developing through sport
The use of sport in pursuit of international development goals is broadening, with widespread policy support for sports-based programmes that promote social, educational and health goals. Academic assessment has however been more critical, posing searching questions about the paucity of evidence that justifies the use of sport in these roles. Recent growth in evaluation studies has increased the evidence-base but carries some risks of privileging…
Fathering through Sport
At a time when ‘fathers’, ‘fatherhood’ and ‘fathering’ are highly contested concepts in westernised societies, leisure is significant as a primary site for men to respond to the increased expectation that fathers will be actively involved with their children. Sport, with its lengthy tradition of paternal participation with children, is a particularly appropriate leisure form for deconstructing how the emergence of ideologies of ‘new’ fatherhood m…
Where’s Dad? Fatherhood in Leisure Studies
This paper considers fathers and fatherhood as an ‘absent presence’ in leisure studies and argues for the need for and value of incorporating this subject matter within the field. The paper examines the underplaying of fathers and fatherhood in leisure studies, referring particularly to the leisure‐related literatures pertaining to leisure and gender, leisure and family, and sport and masculinity. The paper then draws on an international multidis…
Daughters of Islam
This article examines the significance of family influence on young women from minority (Muslim) communities who have participated in a combined sport and education programme designed to encourage access to further and higher education. The study explores how family expectations about the roles of young women affect the participants' responses to the programme. The research examines young women's understanding of their parents' views in relation …
Sport and Social Exclusion
This book presents the first comprehensive review of factors leading to exclusion from participation in sport in the UK.

The Work–Life Balance in Social Practice
This article examines the extent to which the growing attention being paid at EU and national level to issues related to work–life balance is reflected in families' lived experience. It identifies the demands facing families in balancing paid work with other activities, the strategies they adopt to meet them, and the role played by policy interventions. Attention is drawn to diversity in family structures and labour market participation throughou…
Sporting Excellence
This paper examines the central role played by the family in the development of children’s sports talent, with particular emphasis on the practical ways in which families support children’s excellence in sport. The paper reviews research on the impact that families have on young people’s sports careers, then draws on a recent empirical study to examine the other side of this relationship–how the family is affected by delivering this level of supp…
Leisure, gender and family
A number of authors have recently called for reconsideration of the way in which gender and the family are investigated within leisure studies. This paper proposes that future analyses should include more explicit recognition of the ideological and practical influence of social policy on contemporary gender relations. The paper suggests that social policy has particular significance for debates within leisure studies, about the relationship betwe…
Leisure Despite Constraint
High levels of constraint have been assumed to lead to restricted engagement in leisure activities. In this study, data from a questionnaire survey conducted in Stoke-on-Trent, England (n = 366) suggest that reported constraints do not always prevent particpation. Many people were participating in the activities which they described as constrained, and were conscious of experiencing constraints even when these could be partly overcome. In extreme…

Employment empowers women to challenge gender inequity in leisure, with the practical and psychological gains being potentially greatest for women in highstatus jobs. These benefits may now be countered by trends towards longer working hours. This article investigates the lifestyles of full-time employed women in dual- earner households with one or more pre-school child. In-depth semi-structured interviews (n = 11) examined how women constructed …

Women's work and women's worth
This paper reviews the interrelationship of work and leisure in British women's lives. It focuses in particular on the practical and ideological significance of changes in women's patterns of labour market involvement. While women's gross employment levels have risen substantially over the last three decades, the scale and pattern of female employment is strongly differentiated across social groups. Most women's work involvement continues to be p…

Active Unemployment—a Leisure Pattern for the Future
The restructuring of work challenges existing concepts of leisure and is amongst the most prominent social and cultural changes occurring in industrialised societies. In the short run its effects have been most evident in the large increases in unemployment, and it has been widely suggested that ‘leisure’ may offer a part-solution to the problems of unemployed people. This is not supported by research evidence which has shown that participation i…
