“…However, integration has not as readily been attributed to gains by nontraditional students (Arnold, Kuh, Vesper, & Schuh, 1993;Bean & Metzner, 1985;Metzner & Bean, 1987;Murguia et al, 1991;Wolfe, 1993;Watson, 1998). Bean and Metzner hypothesized that nontraditional students interact with the campus environment differently than do traditional students.…”

Recreational sports programs have historically been planned to meet the needs of traditional-aged students, residing on or near campus. Recent research has indicated that nontraditional students utilize campus programs differently than do traditional students. Little research has been done, however, concerning the needs of students with disabilities. As the number of these students on the college campus continues to increase, recreational sports personnel will come under increasing pressure to meet their needs. Through in-depth interviews, sixteen students with disabilities shared their perceptions of what influenced their campus recreational sports participation. Because only a few students have ever participated in a campus sponsored recreation program, much of the interview focus was on constraints. Three major themes emerged from the data: interest and awareness; perceived acceptance by peers; and opportunity. These themes are discussed and implications for future recreational sports planning identified.

“…Similarly, traditional and nontraditional aged students have differing motivation for participation in recreation activities (Watson, 1998). Campus recreation has been historically programmed from the perspective of students younger than 26 years who lived on or near campus and for whom college attendance was their primary responsibility.…”

“…Watson, et al (2006) also used chi-square analysis that revealed males were significantly more likely to exercise for four or more hours per week than females. They also found females were less likely to participate in physically In terms of impact on recreation participation, Watson (1998) reported that males averaged more time than females. These findings were based on leisure attitudes and leisure motivation toward recreation participation.…”

“…In an article purporting to assess recreational sports programs and services, Miller, Bullock, Clements, and Basi (2000) provided a series of percentages that could only slightly support the quality and importance of recreational sports programs on the campus of a certain large institution of higher education. Watson (1998) studied recreational sports participation on the basis of age of the participants. Segmenting the age demographic into the commonly used categories traditional (less than 26 years of age) and non-traditional (26 years of age and above), he found some differences in leisure attitudes and motivations based on age.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine student entry into a campus recreation center based on seven demographics (gender, ethnicity, age, class standing, intercollegiate athlete vs. non-athlete, students with self-reported disability vs. non-disability, and campus residence) in order to determine who would be most likely to enter the recreation center. Subjects were from a mid-western, four year state-assisted institution with combined enrollment of 23,932 undergraduate and graduate students. Of the 23,932 enrolled, 14,032 students were examined in this study. Information on student entry to the recreation center was collected through the university's student information system. Data was analyzed and interpreted using chi-square analysis. Results of the study show statistically significant differences in the demographics except the student disability demographic. More males than females, more African Americans than other ethnicities, more traditionally aged (18-25) students than non-traditional students, more underclassmen than seniors, more athletes and non-athletes, more residents than commuters were likely to enter the campus recreation center. The findings in this study could be used by collegiate recreational sport directors and administrators, in the United States and internationally, for future ideas about programming in similar recreation settings.

Abstract:In this paper, through the survey method, this study is to investigate the behavioral intention model of students participating in leisure sports in colleges and universities, with the purposes of analyzing students' behavioral intention to participate in leisure sports, constructing the structural equation for factors such as behavioral intention, attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior control, understanding quantitatively the reasons to participate leisure sports, discussing the influences and hierarchies of the factors, and figuring out the causal relationship. We expect the results of this current study can be an elaboration of behavioral intentions of students participating in leisure sports, a basis for increasing the frequency of such participation, as well as a reference for schools to plan and improve their leisure sports. We also expect more scholars will pay attention to the physical exercise in colleges and universities and put forward some good strategies.
