The Role of Facilitators in the Constraint Negotiation of Leisure-Time Physical Activity
There is substantial research on the constraint negotiation of leisure, including research on leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and some research exploring different aspects that might affect the constraint negotiation process, including self-efficacy and identity. However, despite longstanding conceptualization and theory, there is a lack of empirical research on the role of facilitators in the constraint negotiation process. The purpose of …
Sport Participation for Adults Aged 50 + Years
Sport participation can play a key role in older adults’ successful aging as it provides an enjoyable opportunity for leisure-time physical activity. Research focusing on the benefits of sport participation in later life and facilitators for involvement has been increasing in the past several years. Drawing on the socioecological model, this study investigated select socioecological factors that predict older adults’ sport participation from a ho…
We’re a Family and that Gives Me Joy”
Research suggests that leisure provides a vehicle for women to develop friendships in later life, yet little research has explored older women’s experiences of social connection in a team sport setting. This study explored the experiences of social support and friendship among older women who played softball. Focus groups were conducted with women on six softball teams associated with the North Carolina Senior Games. Focus groups were audio-recor…
Promoting Older Adults’ Physical Activity and Social Well-Being during Covid-19
Staying healthy while following social distancing protocols is of great importance to older adults due to increased risk of serious complications from COVID-19. Mild to moderate physical activity improves immune system responses to viral respiratory infections. Additionally, social engagement has cumulative health protective benefits across the lifespan. At present, active and social recreation opportunities have been drastically reduced or disba…
The Sport Facilitators in Later Life Scale (SFLLS)
The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a newly proposed scale, the Sport Facilitators in Later Life Scale (SFLLS). Based on empirical work, the authors developed a 30-item scale to measure middle-aged and older adults’ recreational sport facilitators, including items on municipal parks- and recreation-based facilitators. Among a national sample of 1207 adults aged 50 and older, factor analysis supported a three-fa…
Phoenix’s Antecedents
One of the strangest problems in Homeric textual criticism is raised by the passage which Plutarch believed was deleted from Phoenix's speech by Aristarchus (de aud.poet.8 [Mor.26F]):2 ' ' ' , ' ' , ' '. 3 , , .Then again, Phoenix, being cursed by his father because of the concubine, says purposed to slay him with sharp bronze; but one of the immortals checked my wrath, bringing to mind the people's talk and men's manyThe following works are cite…
Herodotus in the North? Reflections on a Colossal Cauldron (4.81)
Nearly 150 years ago J.W. Blakesley, in the introduction to his commentary, protested against anachronistic assumptions about the manner in which Herodotus gathered his material: 'Every one accustomed to the facilities which the present time offers involuntarily attributes to any individual of the same social position with himself similar methods of effecting any given purpose -unconsciously forgetting the entirely different conditions of so cial…
Perceptions of ageing among older women softball players
The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of women who play competitive softball in later life to understand the meanings they attach to participation and the connections between participation and their perceptions of ageing. Data collection involved focus groups with members of six teams who played in leagues designed for women aged 55 and over or 65 and over. Data were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed thematical…
Agrileisure
Participation in local food systems has recently emerged as an important and overlooked leisure behavior that is critical to community recreation agencies, sustainable development, and overall public health. This study collected motivational, participation, and demographic data from 712 individuals who shop at farmers' markets, subscribe to community supported agriculture (CSA) programs, or do not participate in either. The results indicate that …
Who ought to receive what? An instrument to assess a community's preferred strategy for allocating leisure service resources
All are likely to agree that resources for public leisure services should be allocated equitably, that is, fairly. Equity is a pseudo-cognate term in that many who use it assume that everyone has the same intuitive definition of it. This is a fallacious assumption. There are multiple and diverse interpretations of what is meant by equity. Since interpretations reflect value systems, they are likely to vary across communities. This article develop…
The Association of Location and Social Context with Physical Activity Enjoyment in a Population of Able Bodied Rural Aging Women
Collectively, rural aging women experience a physical activity disparity compared to younger, male, and urban populations. Research suggests that enjoyment of physical activity may function as an antecedent to participation and also as an outcome that can encourage future leisure time physical activity. This study examines how rural women's choice of leisure time physical activity location and activity companions informs their enjoyment of that p…
Extra‐Individual Correlates of Physical Activity Attainment in Rural Older Adults
Context: Challenged with a higher incidence of disease, reduced social support, and less access to physical activity facilities and services, rural older adults may find healthy active living a challenge. Despite these challenges, some rural older adults manage to achieve active lifestyles. Purpose: This study investigates the relative importance of 4 extra‐individual correlates of physical activity to physical activity achievement in rural senio…
The Role of Moral Philosophies, Operational Criteria and Operational Strategies in Determining Equitable Allocation of Resources for Leisure Services in the United States
This paper revises an earlier taxonomy of equity models that was published in this journal in 1988. This revised taxonomy consists of three elements. First, it extends the original taxonomy by proposing a set of moral philosophies, positioning them as antecedents of the operational strategies that determine equity outcomes. Six are identified: Rawlsian, egalitarianism, benefit principle, utilitarianism, libertarianism and paternal professionalism…
A Comparison of Preferences and Perceptions of Alternate Equity Operationalizations
Seven operationalizations of equity that offer alternate criteria for allocating resources for leisure services were assessed using residents in a Texas city. The operationalizations were compensatory, equality, taxes paid, direct price, efficiency, advocacy and professional judgment. Two samples of data were selected using mail surveys of 903 households and by personal delivery and pickup at 200 additional minority households. A preference/perce…
