    PURPOSE: Research on youth physical activity has focused on urban areas. Rural adolescents are more likely to be physically inactive than urban youth, contributing to higher risk of obesity and chronic diseases.

  • An Examination of Triple Jeopardy in Rural Youth Physical Activity Participation

    Open AccessKindal A Shores, Justin B Moore et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2010

    PURPOSE: Chances for a healthy life are not equally distributed across society. Instead, genetic, social, and environmental factors help determine the probability that a child will be healthy and active.

The individual and interaction effects of self-efficacy, social support, and access to physical activity areas are used…

  • The Association of Location and Social Context with Physical Activity Enjoyment in a Population of Able Bodied Rural Aging Women

    Daniel Theriault, Daniel S Theriault et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Leisure Research2010References: 4

This study examines how rural women's choice of leisure time physical activity location and activity companions informs their enjoyment of that p…

    Kindal A Shores, David Scott et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences2007Cited by: 27References: 44

    A multiple hierarchy stratification perspective was adopted to investigate outdoor recreation constraints for 3,000 Texans interviewed by telephone in 1998. This theoretical perspective contends that individuals' socio-demographic characteristics are accorded a position in society relative to others and that this position effects the individual's access to services. Logistic regression models tested whether nine outdoor recreation constraints wer…
