Exploring tennis experiences among women in mid and later life with life course theory
Interest in sport has been increasing among older adults, but sport participation among older women remains low due to diverse factors shaped throughout their lives. To encourage greater engagement, it is necessary to understand women’s sport experiences and factors that influence their engagement. This study aims to explore tennis experiences among women in mid and later life through the lens of life course theory. Semi-structured interviews wer…

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 …
Racial equity facilitators of active outdoor recreation in parks and protected areas
Active outdoor recreation (AOR) can provide valuable benefits, but racial inequities can constrain participation for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Despite their potential value for park managers, limited attention has been given to assessing and understanding factors which can facilitate more equitable AOR participation. This national study included the development, testing, and validation of a new scale focused on facilitators …
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…
College Students’ Healthy Leisure
College presents opportunities for health promotion, but students may be constrained in their ability to engage in healthy leisure. Leisure constraints and constraint negotiation strategies are important influences of healthy leisure, but few studies have examined the potential for heterogeneity among students in the constraints they face and how they negotiate these constraints. The present study therefore used a person-centered approach, latent…
College students’ perceptions of healthy and unhealthy leisure
Despite social acceptance of some leisure activities as healthy or unhealthy, individual behaviour suggests the story is more complex as individuals engage in leisure in both healthy and unhealthy ways. To better understand how leisure behaviour is perceived, we assessed American college students’ perception of their own leisure activities’ healthiness, as well as their perception of healthy and unhealthy leisure activities in general. Three grou…
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…
Leisure education in chronic disease self-management
The number of individuals experiencing chronic conditions is on the rise, increasing the need for effective self-management strategies to promote their health and quality of life. This paper identifies how leisure education may complement and enhance skills considered necessary for appropriate self-management. To address this topic, detailed information about how leisure education was integrated into the existing Chronic Disease Self-Management P…
To have healthy leisure is to have balance”
Leisure is an important developmental context in adolescence and emerging adulthood due to its role promoting healthy development and mitigating risk behavior. Empirical work has focused on the benefits and risks of activities and time use in these life stages, but the influence of subjective perceptions of leisure is often ignored. Furthermore, researchers lack consistent conceptualization of the terms healthy leisure and unhealthy leisure. Give…
Does using a smartphone for work purposes “ruin” your leisure? Examining the role of smartphone use in work–leisure conflict and life satisfaction
This study examined a model centered on the concept of work-leisure conflict that included three antecedents (daily smartphone use, work overload due to smartphone use, and segmentation culture) and two consequences (work stress and life satisfaction). In all, 462 workers aged 19–55 years completed the survey instruments. Of 13 hypotheses, 10 were supported in the bivariate analyses, and the final structural model of significant factors demonstra…

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…

Contributions of Leisure-Based Selective Optimization with Compensation and Leisure Activity Expenditure to the Health of Adults with Arthritis
Arthritis is one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions in mid to late life, and leisure may provide potential health benefits. The study aims were to establish the predictive utility of leisure activities and leisure-based selective optimization with compensation (L-SOC) in explaining arthritis-based health and to determine whether physically active leisure serves as a mediator of L-SOC and health. The study sample included 140 middle-a…
Canadian men's perceptions of leisure time physical activity and the ageing body
Research suggests that age and gender play important roles in motivation for and constraints to leisure time physical activity. Little research, however, has looked specifically at the perceptions and experiences of older men. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore leisure time physical activity and the ageing body from the perspectives of older men. Social cognitive theory was used to interpret the findings that emerged from constan…
Living With Arthritis
In this article, we explore how adults with arthritis use self-care strategies in their valued leisure activities, and variations in use based on their access to environmental resources. We conducted six focus groups ( N = 34) with adults aged 55 and older with a diagnosis of arthritis. Adults living in residential communities were recruited, with 31% of the sample residing in subsidized housing. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using conten…
Interactive Social Cognitive Model of Leisure-Time Physical Activity in Mid to Late Life
Results suggest that these social cognitive factors are useful in understanding low to high-intensity LTPA and have implications for LTPA programs for adults aged 50 and older
An Integration of Constraints and Benefits Within an Older Women's Social Club

We analysed 1693 members' responses to an online query about meaningful experiences garnered through participation in the Red Hat Society®. Our analysis revealed aspects of social capital, including bonding and bridging opportunities, social support, sisterhood and civic engagement. Members had a sense of community a…
Testing Alternative Leisure Constraint Negotiation Models
The purpose of this study was to test a model of the leisure constraint negotiation process proposed by Hubbard and Mannell. A multidimensional measure of physically active leisure was used to extend their findings to a sample of middle-aged and older adults in a metropolitan park setting. Volunteers and visitors (aged 50–87 years) of a Midwestern metropolitan park agency completed a self-administered questionnaire. Results of a two-step structur…
Functional Support Associated with Belonging to the Red Hat Society®, a Leisure-Based Social Network
Researchers have addressed the structure of leisure-based social networks but have given little attention to their functional outcomes, especially among older women. A leisure-based social network popular among older women but little studied is the Red Hat Society®. Thus, we chose to address how older women describe the functional support they receive from one leisure-based social network, the Red Hat Society®. Data were gathered from more than 4…
