Environmental influences on healthy and active ageing: A systematic review
This paper explores the evidence for environmental influences on older adult health and activity participation, identifies current knowledge gaps and limitations within this literature, and offers recommendations for future research via a systematic appraisal of 83 quantitative and qualitative studies. A Cochrane-type review procedure was followed, which incorporated structured database searches, inclusion and exclusion criteria, quality appraisa…
A place for visual research methods in the field of leisure studies? Evidence from two studies of older adults’ active leisure
Few researchers have explored perceptions of the local environment as a potential precursor to older adults’ active leisure participation; fewer still have employed visual research methods as a tool for examining the modalities of environmental influences on leisure behaviour. This article introduces leisure researchers to the visual research techniques of Q method with photographs and photovoice and highlights the opportunities and challenges re…

One Who Does Not Make His Living’: Social Class and Cash Amateur Bicycle Racing in Nineteenth Century New Zealand
In 1892, cash amateur bicycle racing jumped the Tasman Sea from Melbourne, where it had been introduced in 1890, and the New Zealand Bicycle Union (NZBU) was founded to administer cash amateur bicycle racing in that colony. The premise was that cash amateur cyclists raced for cash prizes, but did not earn a living by doing so. Despite this, cash amateurs were immediately branded ‘professionals’ by the New Zealand Cyclists’ Alliance and the New Ze…
Engaging adolescent participants in academic research: The Use of Photo-Elicitation Interviews to Evaluate School-Based Outdoor Education Programmes
This article examines the use of photo-elicitation interviews as a qualitative research method when studying aspects of adolescent behaviour. In particular, it describes and evaluates the use of photo-elicitation interviews to investigate the outdoor education experiences of a group of 34 (12 male, 22 female) New Zealand secondary school students (aged 14-15 years old) who attended a school-based outdoor education programme, referred to throughou…
Outdoor recreation and gendered space: The case of men's enthusiasms for hunting, fly-fishing and scuba diving
The purpose of this paper is to explore complexities associated with determining gendered recreational spaces in the context of ‘masculine’ outdoor recreational pursuits, using results from two data sets collected in New South Wales, Australia and North Canterbury, New Zealand, 2006–2008. The first data set is based on face-to-face interviews with 26 male recreational hunters, fly-fishers and scuba divers in Sydney and Christchurch. The second is…
Developing a National Leisure Research Strategy for New Zealand: Arts, outdoor recreation, sport, and community recreation
This paper reports on a project relating to the development of a National Research Strategy for Leisure, Arts, Outdoor Recreation, Sport, and Community Recreation in New Zealand. The purpose of the strategy — as was the case with an earlier project in Australia, the Australian Leisure Research Agenda — is to stimulate the development, dissemination, and use of research in leisure‐related fields. In addition to raising selected issues in the devel…
Neighbourhood deprivation and older adults' preferences for and perceptions of active leisure participation
This paper examines the influence of neighbourhood deprivation on older adults’ preferences for and perceptions of active leisure participation using an original research approach. A mixed‐methods procedure, incorporating Q methodology and semi‐structured interviews, was undertaken with 63 elderly residents from high‐ and low‐deprivation neighbourhoods in Christchurch, New Zealand. Analysis of Q sort data and interview transcripts revealed that r…

Leisure time physical activity differences among older adults from diverse socioeconomic neighborhoods
Bringing Men Back In? Male recreational hunters, divers and fly‐fishers and the creation of recreational space
This paper investigates the extent to which men who engage in the types of ‘blokes’ leisure which involve trips away from home — recreational hunting, diving, and fishing — negotiate their recreational space in consultation with significant others, notably their partners. The research is based upon 28 in‐depth, tape‐recorded interviews conducted in Sydney, Australia and Christchurch, New Zealand.2 The authors acknowledge the financial support giv…
Leisure research in New Zealand: Patterns, problems and prospects
In this paper we discuss the present state of leisure research in New Zealand. We first focus upon the lack of historical leisure research and in so doing briefly outline New Zealand's social history from pre-European times to the present. We then note that some research on outdoor recreation and aspects of tourism has been conducted, and we contrast this with the gaps in our understanding of other areas of leisure. An examination of the reasons …
