Flooding and schools
Hull, a city in the East Riding of Yorkshire, United Kingdom, suffered severe flooding in June 2007, affecting some 8,600 households and most schools. Despite the potential for damage in such disasters, no studies of the effects of floods on teachers and schools in the UK appear to have been published previously. This study analysed the impacts of the floods on teachers in Hull in two stages: first through correspondence with Hull City Council an…
Health and social impacts of a flood disaster
Carlisle in northwest England suffered its worse floods for more than 180 years in 2005. A study, reported here, was undertaken to assess the health and social impacts of these floods via in-depth, taped individual and focus-group interviews with people whose homes had been flooded and with agency workers who helped them. Respondents spoke of physical health ailments, psychological stress, water health-and-safety issues related to the floods, and…

The Relationship Between Selected Demographic Variables and Recreational Sport Participation in Greece
This article provides the first substantial empirical evidence that significant differences exist in participation in sport in Greece. The most disadvantaged groups were: (a) individuals with low levels of education, irrespective of their age and gender; (b) middle-aged and elderly females; (c) middle-aged and elderly married individuals; and (d) married females irrespective of their age. The implications of these results for policy and provision…
Family Variables and Children's Physical Activity
The present study investigated how specific social factors, associated with family life, related to children's volitional participation in physical activity. Of primary interest was an examination of whether differences in children's physical activity could be attributed to either parental participation in regular exercise or to social economic status. Information was collected from a sample of Year 6 primary school children (n = 924) concerning …
Motives for Recreational Sport Participation in Greece
The purpose of the present study was: (a) to investigate the motives for taking part in recreational sporting activities, based on a sample of Greek sport participants, (b) to investigate demographic differences (gen der, age, level of education, marital status) in the motivational dimensions; (c) to apply the findings within the context of practical sport services delivery. Data were collected by means of a self-administered household survey con…
Demographic differences in the perception of constraints on recreational sport participation
Are any sub-groups of the Greek population particularly influenced by the experience of leisure constraints? The present study aimed to investigate demographic differences (age, gender, education and marital status) in the perception of constraints on recreational sport participation, in relation to demographic differences in annual sport-participation rates. The data were collected by means of a self-administered household questionnaire survey c…
An analysis of leisure constraints based on different recreational sport participation levels
What constraints are experienced by a sample of the Greek population when participating in recreational sport activities? An attempt was made to answer this question by using data collected by a household survey conducted in an urban area in Greece. The study aimed specifically to investigate (a) constraints on recreational sport participation, as experienced by a sample of the Greek population; (b) the relationship between constraint dimensions …
Perception of Constraints and Strength of Motivation
This study, based on Crawford, Jackson and Godbey's (1991) hierarchial model of leisure constraints, aimed to: (a) investigate the influence of constraints dimensions on recreational sport participation; (b) empirically test the "balance" proposition, by investigating the relationships between perception of constraints dimensions and strength of motivation for participation. The data were collected via a self-administered household questionnaire …
Ethnicity and Conflict in Physical Education
There has been little research dealing with the issues of teaching ethnic minority groups in physical education (PE), in particular that which takes the perceptions of teachers and their pupils as the focal point to examine the issues and conflicts. This research takes a social action perspective by studying Muslim children in a northern comprehensive school. The areas of conflict are highlighted, such as PE kit, showers, Ramadan and extra‐curric…
